Abstract
This study aims to elucidate and recognize the concept of public policy, the kinds of public policy and its role in public administration. The study adopts a qualitative research approach, both in terms of its fundamental research objective and its descriptive-analytical nature and methodology. Data collection follows a library-based method, utilizing books, articles, and reputable online sources and extracting information through qualitative analysis and refinement. The primary research question addressed in this study is the definition, the kinds and role of public policy in public administration. The findings indicate that public policy is an integral part of the framework of a public administration/organization, closely tied to the philosophy and existence of such entities. Public policy plays constructive and essential roles, including clarifying the spirit of laws and regulations, evaluating and controlling administrative programs and activities, ensuring the interests and public welfare, guiding administrative affairs, and ultimately coordinating the actions and performance of public administration. Also, research results show that public policy is divided from different points of view, the most famous of which are legislative, judicial and executive policies. It is recommended that public administrations, to establish a healthy organization and fulfil their mission, necessarily adopt various policies based on their specific needs.
