In the administrative hierarchy, what is the special connotation of the term “department” ?
The largest and highest unit below the chief executive
In the structure of government, a department is the primary operating unit that directly works under the chief executive, such as a ministry headed by a minister or secretary.
In its special administrative sense the term denotes the largest and highest unit of the executive hierarchy immediately below the chief executive, under which bureaus, divisions and sections are placed.
It is therefore not the smallest unit, it does not mean territorial subdivisions such as districts, and its use for university faculties is a general meaning rather than the administrative one.
Hence, The largest and highest unit below the chief executive.
