Assertion (A) Reason (R) Pattern : Assertion (A) : Publicness in Public Administration is a complex-structured concept. Reason (R) : Public Administration differs from private administration with regard to at least three major dimensions–locus (agency), focus (public interest) and access (openness). Codes :
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
Assertion (A) is true: 'publicness' is not a single attribute but a multi-dimensional, complex concept. Organisations can be more or less public depending on ownership, funding, political authority and accountability (as Bozeman put it, 'all organisations are public' to some degree).
Reason (R) is true: Public Administration is commonly distinguished from private administration along dimensions such as locus (the governmental agency), focus (the public interest) and access (openness and public scrutiny).
However, R merely lists the dimensions on which public and private administration differ; it does not explain why publicness is a complex-structured concept. The complexity of publicness arises from the varying degrees and mixes of political and economic authority, which R does not state.
Hence, the answer is Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
