It is important to note that One such theory that is popular in the discussion is the classical organization theory.

Manyresearchesresearch and studies have been made in attempt to improve the viability, effectivenesseffectiveness, and reliability of the theory. It is important to embrace all the contributions of the various scholarsand how the same could be embraced in decision making, human resource managementmanagement, among others.

Public administration is different from private administration in the sense that public administration entails offering services in management in public organizations and entities such as the state-owned. On the other hand, private management entails services that are offered in the sector in private entities such as privately-owned organizations. There is usually a greater sense of responsibility in private management as compared to public administration (Sroufe, 2017).

In the public administration, there is usually adherence to government formulated policies in the management of the public-ownedpublic owned as compared to the private management where the owners formulate the management policies and guidelines through the use ofusing the managers that are often delegated the duty of doing such. The taxpayers for instance fund the public entities as opposed to the private organizations that are often funded by the owners or through the trading of shares in the listed companies (Oreg& Berson, 2019).

It is vital to note that the differences in the above influence a number ofseveral aspects in an organization that have to do with decision making, human resource management, and the classical organizational theory. For instance, decision-making is through the management that is employed by the government. The input of the public could also be need when it comes to decisions that are made in public administration. There is also a strict adherence to a given stipulated public administration code of performance and administration amongst the state officers. It is in sharp contrast to the private management that mostly does the contrary to the above.

S/No	Public administration	Private management
1.	Decision making is usually pluralistic in nature and entails many decision makers	Decision making is often monopolistic in nature with few decision makers
2	Accountability is to the general publicpublic	Accountability is to the owners
3.	Mostly for welfare orientation purposes	Profit oriented in nature
4.	Taxation and duties are some of the sources of revenue	Profits are often the sources of revenue

Regarding human resource management, as mentioned above, the human resource is managed according to the stipulated operational policies and laws of the government in most cases. For instance, the grounds for dismissal and hiring are usually as guided by the government or public stipulation which is often not the same as the private management. It is the reason for a more stringent management oof human resources and more accountability of human resources as compared to private management.

On the other hand, the classical organizational theory is influenced greatly by the type and differences rights are encountered as discussed above. For instance, the administration of the affairs of organizations is directly linked to public accountability and government directives as opposed to private management where accountability is to the owners and maybe to the shareholders (Aslam et al., 2018).

Additionally, aspects such as money management and use also have a direct link to the various policies and guidelines that govern the two types of management and practices that are linked to the same. It is important to note that in many countries or nations, both private management and public administration have been of great sense and hence it has evoked the need for even better management of the same. It explains the need for the input of the various scholars into making the field of organizational management even better through the use ofusing the various study recommendations and inputs by numerous scholars such as the ones that are discussed in this paper.

Recommendations

It isimportant to adhere to the various scholarlyadvocaciessuch as sticking to classical theory advisories on how for instance to increase the effectiveness and the efficiency of the managementthrough better human resource management. Additionally, the difference between the private and publicmanagement and amidnsuitarion should be clearlyevaluated to ensure the bestpractices are sued and discard the unnecessary practices such as pooraccountability.
