Outsourcing and Efficiency of Nigerian Public Administration
Journal Title: IOSR journal of Business and Management - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 12
Abstract
The confidence reposed on Public Administration as the apparatus through which government at all levels improve the living standard of the people through the various processes that ensure that policies, programmes, purposes and goals of government are realized, has been jeopardized by red tape, slowness, paternalism, resources wastages, and a greater focus on processes and procedures rather than results that characterized the traditional Public Administration in the 70s. However, attempts to remedy the trend, gave rise to Public Management era that focused on the application of management principles, including efficiency in utilization of resources, emphasized effectiveness, customer orientation, reliance on market forces, and greater sensitivity to public needs. The era of Public management also paved way for the New Public Management (NPM) epoch that not only sustained the trends of Public Management era but also emphasized outcomeoriented partnerships between the public and the private sector to provide services to citizens efficiently. Among the main principles of the NPM is the introduction of “outsourcing” as a business that facilitates organizational efficiency. Implicit in the above assertion is that outsourcing is positioned as a strategy that has the capacity to ensure efficiency of Public Administration in Nigeria. Data for the study were generated from the secondary sources. The study is equally x-traded on resources based view theory whose key theorists includes Jay B. Barney, George S. Day, Gary Hamel, Shelby D. Hunt, G. Hooley and C.K. Prahalad. This paper found that Outsourcing makes for Efficiency in Nigerian Public Administration through cost saving; enhanced productivity and increased profitability and outsourcing in Nigerian Public Administration is internally opposed.
