PRAXSEOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF THE PHENOMENON OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF RELATIVISM BOUNDARIES OF ORGANIZATION
An approach to public administration presented in the article is based on the assumption of the immediacy of applying research methods in the area of organization and management for the description and analysis of the composition and functioning of institutions included in the public administration. The article takes into account the consequences of the system’s transformation in Poland from the early 1990s as aresult of which the public administration was rebuilt by replacing the previous model of the state administration corresponding to the objectives of the socialist state’s political system, ahighly bloated multi-sector organizational system, which makes for considering the participation of members of particular administrative institutions at different degrees of their organization concurrently and in parallel. The result of this study leads to the conclusion that public administration institutions have relative boundaries of their organisational separation and thus the same people can simultaneously participate in anumber of institutions belonging to the core, the external circle and the environment while at the same within the same institution there can come to such parallel multiplicity of participation. Examples of government administration and local government institutions have been presented to illustrate these claims.
