Abstract

This chapter delves into the critical role of digital technology in enhancing human capital efficiency within public administration, guided by utilitarian principles. It explores the intricate relationships between investment in technology, the principle of diminishing marginal utility, and the Laffer Curve, offering a nuanced understanding of how these factors interplay to optimize public sector performance. The analysis highlights the importance of strategic resource allocation to maximize social benefits and ensure sustainable development. Additionally, the chapter discusses the practical applications of these theoretical concepts, providing insights into how public administrators can leverage digital tools to improve decision-making processes and service delivery. The conclusion underscores the potential of digital technology to revolutionize public administration, emphasizing the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to meet the evolving challenges of the digital age.
