Abstract: This article begins with a short description of the factors that affect the transformation of
public administration. Process of transformation in public administration as occurrence is affected by
different social, political, economical and cultural developments. As a result, most modern societies
and governments are looking forward to modernize their public administrations and make them
implement the principles of good governance. Governments around the world are increasingly
transforming their public administration through use of Information and Communication
Technologies (ICTs), adopting new administrative legislations, increasing oversight over the
administration and engagement of citizens. This study analyses the factors that directly or indirectly
affect the transformation of public administration in order to act in line with the new developments in
the society and citizens demands and to enhance relations and communication between the state,
social society, private bod ies, nongovernmental organizations and other institutions. A specific
question to be addressed in this context is that to what extent and under which conditions do
administrative sciences, legislations, administrative oversight, IT and engagement of citizens affect
the transformation of public administration.

Administrative sciences include the theory of administrative bodies that moves
toward the study of business administration and management. This concept for

political, rational, hierarchical, and organized according to technically specialized
functions.
