In this article will be treated different skills for public administrators, during the process of decision making, which affect the effectiveness of their decisions, and thus will also affect the fulfillment of the objectives of the organizations they lead. The main purpose of the article is to identify the skills that demonstrate public administrators during decision making in order to define how good are their decison making process. On the basis of secondary and primary research, the authors would discuss the findings in order to identify the problems faced during these processes of decision-making public administrators

Qualitative methods are relatively scarce in public administration research. This imbalance between qualitative and quantitative methods poses three significant concerns. First, there is a risk that measurement hurdles, coupled with the distance that quantitative methodology fosters between academics and administrative practice and practitioners, focuses researchers' gaze on inconsequential policy problems. Second, and related, the causality underlying the real problems that policymakers and public organizations face are often much too complex to be captured by one type of methodology, and quantitative methods, which are by design insensitive to context, are particularly ill adapt to such task. Third, quantitative methodology is most conducive to testing already available theories and hypotheses, as opposed to theory building. We propose that the answer to these concerns lays in denouncing commitments to abstract ontological and epistemological philosophies and advancing collaboration between qualitative and quantitative researchers and version of mixed methods that transcend mere triangulation. Still, doing so would tell us little as to what problems are worth studying, and how to balance the values of theoretical generalizability and policy significance.-1

In this paper we discuss how the interests and field theory promoted by public administration as a stakeholder in policy argumentation, directly arise from its problem solving activities, using the framework for public administration problem solving we proposed in [1,2]. We propose that calls for change of policy in public administration mainly arise from model-based diagnosis problem solving.

The rapid change in cultural and social spheres, rapid urbanisation, industrialization, the unattainable speed of technology, general educational shortcomings, increasing family divisions and divorces, the growing ideological, religious, and ethnic conflicts within the country, corruption and corruption, the efforts to preserve the traditional value system and way of life, as well as adapting to the modernization process, and for many more reasons, today's people face constantly changing problems.

About this book

Problem-Solving Strategies is a unique collection of competition problems from over twenty major national and international mathematical competitions for high school students. The discussion of problem solving strategies is extensive. It is written for trainers and participants of contests of all levels up to the highest level: IMO, Tournament of the Towns, and the noncalculus parts of the Putnam Competition. It will appeal to high school teachers conducting a mathematics club who need a range of simple to complex problems and to those instructors wishing to pose a "problem of the week", "problem of the month", and "research problem of the year" to their students, thus bringing a creative atmosphere into their classrooms with continuous discussions of mathematical problems. This volume is a must-have for instructors wishing to enrich their teaching with some interesting non -routine problems and for individuals who are just interested in solving difficult and challenging problems. Each chapter starts with typical examples illustrating the central concepts and is followed by a number of carefully selected problems and their solutions. Most of the solutions are complete, but some merely point to the road leading to the final solution. Very few problems have no solutions. Readers interested in increasing the effectiveness of the book can do so by working on the examples in addition to the problems thereby increasing the number of problems to over 1300. In addition to being a valuable resource of mathematical problems and solution strategies, this volume is the most complete training book on the market.
