Four Obstacles That Hinder the Responsibility of Public Leaders In The Twenty-First Century: Observations From The United States and China

Abstract

This study utilizes the Romzek-Dubnick typology to analyze the effects of recent public management reforms and reinvention on accountability in China and the United States. The writers thoroughly analyze the difficulties associated with maintaining legal responsibilities, safeguarding administrative goals unrelated to missions, promoting public ideals, and retaining hierarchical power. The authors provide concrete examples of the varied outcomes that reforms can produce within the unique legal and political frameworks of the United States and China, including examining the effects of outsourcing and results-driven strategies. The available data supports the current hypotheses in the field of public administration with concrete facts. The data offered as evidence strongly support the idea that the connection between politics and the law had a substantial impact on the reformation. Furthermore, it is evident that several countries may utilize different approaches to address the administrative barriers they face.
