چکیده:
This article reveals the existing gaps between theory and practice in public management between Western and non-Western countries. By examining national bureaucracy within a global framework, it formulates a scheme that can be applied to filling gaps, developing management knowledge, and utilizing organizational theory by practitioners. Based on this scheme, the article attempts to show how international environmental variables, such as continuous and constant progress in information technology, the presence of global entities and institutions, and the emphasis on productivity and efficiency in the public sector, influence national bureaucracies. The article concludes by providing guidance for future research and applications of this framework.

Based on this scheme, the article attempts to show how international environmental variables, such as the continuous and constant progress of information technology, the presence of global institutions and organizations, and the emphasis on productivity and efficiency in the public sector, affect national bureaucracies.
When the phenomenon of globalization confronts the adaptation between theory and practice with difficulties, global influencing factors provide an opportunity to conduct comparative research that is important and useful for managers in all countries, regardless of their economic, political, and social considerations.
The first methodology is attributed to the founders of comparative public management in America (specifically Ferrel Heady and Frederick 10), who claimed that bureaucracies are systems situated within the political, economic, and social context of a specific country.
Such research could be used to discover a regular set of national models for changing or reforming bureaucracies of Table 3 Comparison of theoretical perspectives (Refer to the page image) state could be a starting point that could hold great benefit for public managers in all countries.
Global Variables Considering global variables in the analytical model is not only a promise for filling the existing gap in comparative public management, but also an important step taken in increasing the explanatory power of bureaucracy theory.
The analytical framework of this article provides a set of hypotheses for researchers that specifically encompass global and national factors or variables (which currently influence the structure and behavior of bureaucracy).
