Abstract

In the context of coincidence and tensions in public dependencies in Venezuela, this study focuses on examining the diversity of the government system and highlights the importance of promoting cohesion and addressing challenges in its operation. The expression can be paraphrased as: "The goal is to explore the idea that there is a balance between agreement and disagreement in this context, to seek its philosophical foundations and evaluate how it can be used to improve public administration and address new problems." Some schools of thought, such as structuralism and positivism, subscribe to this perception of balance as an essential task of leadership. Additionally, an initial examination of many of the already published works and the empirical truths on which such assertions have been based is addressed. The conclusions underscore the complexity of administrative issues in this country, due to the constant need to maintain a balanced state that can ensure stability and adaptation, while managing conflicts within the current social political framework. The relevance of seeking effective solutions in Venezuelan organizations lies in including quality and continuous improvement in their processes.
