General problems of administration – analyzes universal aspects of administrative organizations, including concepts such as bureaucracy, hierarchy, normativity and communication.
Specificities of different administrative systems – explores how different political and social contexts shape administrative structures and processes.
Problems of individual administrative services – focuses on specific challenges faced by specific administrative units, such as personnel policy, financial management and public relations.

His works, including The Science of Administration, remain relevant today, providing valuable insights into the theoretical and practical dimensions of public administration.
