Summary
Globalization and technological development have changed citizens’ life and work, which has left huge impacts on many aspects of public administration. Instead of ensuring that the government’s rules and procedures are followed appropriately as the roles of old leaders in traditional public administration, the new public administration context requires that the leaders help define and achieve the high performance target aligned with the high requirements of citizens, enterprises and society. Another important role of leaders is to create high-quality and more efficient services for stakeholders to support the effectiveness of public administration. The competency framework for leaders in public administration has attracted more and more researchers in various fields
