Public value is a critical concept in the field of public administration, governance, and policy-making. This paper aims to define public value, explore its theoretical frameworks, and analyze its practical implications for public sector organizations. By synthesizing existing literature, we will elucidate the multi-dimensional nature of public value, examine its relevance in contemporary governance, and offer insights into how public value can be effectively measured and communicated.
