Answer 1

Answer:

C. Luther Gulick

• The scholar who observed that public administration includes the operations of only the executive branch of government was Luther Gulick.

• Gulick, a key figure in administrative theory, emphasized that public administration is primarily concerned with the execution of government policies and that it operates mainly through the executive branch.

• His POSDCORB framework (Planning, Organizing, Staffing, Directing, Coordinating, Reporting, and Budgeting) further highlights the functions of administration within the executive domain.
