Explanation

New Public Administration (NPA) emerged in the late 1960s as a response to the traditional, value-neutral approach of public administration. It emphasizes social equity, ethics, and innovation to make administration more responsive to societal needs. Unlike traditional models, it rejects the idea of a purely rational and value-free bureaucracy.
