Özet:

The phenomenon of modernism, which can be described as an effort of enlightenment, has also felt in the field of public administration as it feels in many areas. In this context, modernism is based on objectivity in the field of nature and social sciences, while in the understanding of public administration, it is based on the standardization and integrity of bureaucratic principles.  Modernism has begun to question this concept in the concepts adopted by the traditional public administration (GKY). So, mainly the Western states, the public governments throughout the world have entered a significant change process. The postmodern public administration concept, which emerged as a response to the modernism movement, aimed at eliminating the bureaucratic barriers in public administration, increasing flexibility and questioning the concepts of rationality, objectivity, which modernism defends. The developments in the concepts of modernism and postmodernism have also influenced the bureaucracy, and the post bureaucratic approach to overcoming the bureaucracy has been directed. The purpose of this study is to explain the concepts of modernism, post-modernism and post- bureaucracy in the administrative framework. In this context, a literary examination on the subject was carried out. In addition, the study was evaluated by comparing modern, postmodern and post bureaucratic public administration approaches.
