Traditional Public Administration (TPA) is the earliest and most influential model of public administration. It evolved during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to ensure efficient, lawful, and accountable functioning of government institutions. The model was shaped by the ideas of scholars such as Woodrow Wilson, Max Weber, Frederick W. Taylor, Henri Fayol, and Luther Gulick. It emphasizes hierarchy, specialization, rule-based functioning, and political neutrality in the administration of public affairs.

The merit system introduced recruitment based on qualifications, competitive examinations, and competence, thereby improving the quality and integrity of public services. The model sought to separate politics from administration, arguing that elected representatives should formulate policies while civil servants should implement them objectively.
