Principles of Public Administration

Introduction

Administration is an important aspect in any organization and it helps in effective running of an organization. Public administration mainly involves government organizations and/or non- profit making organizations to show how they run and whether their administrations are in line with the ethics of public administration. In this case, the American Red Cross which is an international non- profit making organization is considered. This project therefore tackles various issues such as a discussion of the organization context whereby the history of the organization is outlined, legal foundation of the organization including laws related to the establishment of the organization, connection to public service which discusses how the organizational culture embodies public service ethos, ethical issues or dilemma, management and leadership which considers the formal and informal leadership, power and civic engagement, accountability, intergovernmental relations, public financial management and budgeting, and challenges, opportunities and trends.

Organization Context

The American Red Cross is an American humanitarian organization that offers emergency help, disaster preparedness, and disaster relief and education in the United States. The organization is the only congressionally mandated entity to offer assistance and aid to the victims of disaster and it has the responsibility of fulfilling the Geneva Convention within the country. The American Red Cross was founded in 1881 by Clara Barton who was a school teacher dedicated to serving people in need (Becker, 2001). The company received the first congressional charter in 1900 and after that, the organization was mandated by the federal government to offer services to the members of the American Armed Forces and their families and offer disaster relief across the United States as well as around the world. To perform their duties and responsibilities effectively, the American Red Cross depends on generous contributions of money, time, and blood from the American public (Gilliard & Khandekar, 2011).
