What influence does China traditional culture have on administrative management?

As a complex social phenomenon, culture has different contents and manifestations in different areas of social life, which is the administrative culture in the field of administrative activities.

The first is the impact on administrative behavior. Any specific administrative activity, whether it is administrative decision-making or administrative execution, is restricted by administrative culture. Administrative culture affects administrative behavior through people's administrative psychology, administrative consciousness, administrative thinking and administrative habits. The influence of administrative culture on administrative behavior is comprehensive and direct, which not only affects whether administrative decision-making is decisive, scientific and feasible, but also affects whether administrative execution is fast, complete and flexible. Only people with conscious administrative consciousness and enterprising administrative thought can become independent decision makers and firm and flexible executors; On the other hand, they become indecisive and complacent decision makers and rigid and procrastinating executors. An open administrative culture atmosphere will make the behavior of decision makers open, democratic and efficient; On the contrary, the closed administrative culture atmosphere will make decision makers stick to the rules, full of bookishness and rigidity. Democratic administrative culture atmosphere will make decision makers creative, flexible and comprehensive; On the contrary, the autocratic administrative culture atmosphere will make decision makers arbitrary and headstrong. The gloomy administrative culture atmosphere will make decision makers narrow-minded, play politics, strive for merit and avoid profit, and cause administrative corruption; On the contrary, a clear administrative culture atmosphere will make decision makers broad-minded, generous, fair and upright, and adhere to principles, thus forming a clean and healthy administrative atmosphere. Of course, due to different cultural backgrounds, people have different criteria for judging decision makers and executors. But no matter what the evaluation criteria are, the influence of administrative culture on people's administrative behavior is enormous.

The second is the influence on the administrative concept. The influence of administrative culture on people's administrative concepts is long-term and profound. The role of administrative culture in administrative activities is often realized through the ideas, beliefs and habits of administrative personnel as the main body of administrative activities. In the process of administrative activities, the administrative cultural environment plays a direct and decisive role in the ideas of administrative personnel. After members of society enter the field of administrative activities, they will inevitably bring various positive or negative factors under the influence of the original administrative culture, and form specific concepts in certain administrative systems and specific administrative activities. Bureaucracy, standing above others, pushing the committee when something happens, seeking no merit but no fault, low administration, cronyism and other administrative concepts are largely related to the feudal administrative cultural atmosphere such as hierarchy, values, way of thinking and ethics.

The third is the impact on the administrative system. The influence of administrative culture on the administrative system is multifaceted, potential and complex. It influences the administrative system through historical conditions, geographical environment, national characteristics, cultural psychology, cultural tradition, social system, political situation and economic level. The closed geographical environment, backward social system, and the administrative culture that advocates authority, pays attention to the rule of man and emphasizes hierarchy formed under the low economic level will produce an authoritarian and centralized administrative system; On the contrary, an open geographical environment, an advanced social system, and an administrative culture that advocates democracy, attaches importance to the rule of law, and emphasizes equality formed at a higher economic level will produce a decentralized democratic administrative system. Old-fashioned, lazy and form-oriented administrative culture will produce inefficient administrative system; On the contrary, an enterprising, diligent and pragmatic administrative culture will produce an efficient administrative system.

In a word, the influence of administrative culture on administrative management is so extensive and profound that some people call it "administrative informal organization". Administrative culture influences any specific social administrative activities through administrative behavior, administrative ideas and administrative systems. This influence is not an intuitive and simple process, but a complex and diverse potential process.
