The theory of New Public Service by Denhardts was founded on the base of civil spirit,value choice,government responsibility and citizens rights,which claims the value orientation of public administrators definitely-serving citizens,persuing the public interest,valuing the civil rights and highly regarding the people s value.
同时,新公共服务对于公共行政官员也给予了明确的定位———服务于民,追求公共利益,重视公民权,重视人的价值,这就要求公共行政官员树立正确的价值取向。
