One of the most prominent challenges that face modern administrations is the weakness in administrative rooting. This weakness is clearly visible when the management lacks actual practice in administrative work, which negatively reflects on the institution's performance and disrupts the work environment. It may even lead to unintended implications that subsequently need to be clarified and addressed.
Although a broad segment of those working in administration possesses suitable qualifications, knowledge of administrative rooting requires time and practical experience to gain a precise understanding of the administrative systems within the institution. With the rapid development that institutions witness across various sectors, and the changing legal forms established based on their nature of business, a distinction becomes evident between two teams:
• The traditionalists in management who strongly adhere to administrative grounding as a guarantee to maintain the legality of administrative communications and reduce future risks.
• The modernists who rely on digital technology and propose new methods they believe are faster and more effective, but these may sometimes carry unanticipated risks for the institution.
Between these two directions, it is clear that stagnation in traditional practices can lead to routines that harm the institution’s flexibility, while an absolute bias towards modern techniques without legal controls can expose it to significant risks. Hence, contemporary administrations are required to achieve balance by developing their systems to keep pace between administrative grounding and digital technology.
An excessive adherence to tradition under the premise of reducing risks can hinder progress and deprive the institution of benefiting from modern administrative developments in enhancing efficiency, improving performance, and developing the capabilities of its employees.
Accordingly, modern administrations and management researchers together need to work on deepening their understanding of administrative systems and legal legislations, alongside adopting agile administrative methods and technology, enhancing the quality of performance, and serving the future of contemporary management.
