Abstract

This paper is a qualitative single case study that describes the importance of public administrative reform through introducing a problem that is faced by the Egyptian government due to the non existence of a well defined organizational chart. It reviews the Egyptian situation, the organizational chart and structure existence in Arab and NonArab countries; then finally proposes a recommendation for ministries and an organizational chart that may help in the stability of the governmental system.The paper shows the effect of organizational chart reengineering and thus illustrates the effect of having a formal documented organizational chart with defined ministries on decreasing administrative costs and reaching more accurate information about ministries’ performance. This leads to a more effective governmental performance management, accountability which results in the stability of the governmental administration and governance which will consequently increase social stability.
