[en] The 2008 Constitution defines Ecuador as a constitutional State of rights and justice, social, democratic, sovereign, independent, unitary, intercultural, plurinational and secular, for which it adheres to the philosophical, legal and political current of the fair State1, the tutelage strong of rights, the normative force of the Constitution and the democratic principle of popular sovereignty. The new Charter was ascribed to neo-constitutionalism, and as a consequence of the adoption of the State model, it became the constitutionalization of the legal system and the constitutionalization of administrative law in particular, as well as the constitutionalization of public administration. According to the Constitutional Court itself, with the entry into force of the Constitution, "the adoption of neo-constitutionalism as a State ideology"2 was operated, but a new type of law also emerged, the constitutionalized right of values, principles, rules, weighting and legal pluralism. This new political legal model conditions the meaning of public administration, which it defines as a service to the community governed by the principles of effectiveness, efficiency, quality, hierarchy, deconcentration, decentralization, coordination, participation, planning, transparency and evaluation3. On the other hand, the Código Orgánico Administrativo4, in force since July 2018, promulgated almost ten years after the issuance of the Constitutional Charter, models the profile of the public administration so that it corresponds to the fundamental order and is subordinate to it. Thus, the new code enshrines the "fundamental right to good public administration", develops the constitutional principles and adds others, which make up the axiological plexus that defines the public administration diagrammed by the legal system, such as legality, responsibility, proportionality and good faith. With these antecedents, this thesis explains the essential features of the public administration model that is inherent to the constitutional State of rights and justice, differentiating it from the public administration model of the State based on law; analyzes the fundamental aspects that make up this political legal model and its relationship with the elements of public administration; and, bases the proposal for the construction of a system of standards and performance indicators pertaining to public administration, so that it is in harmony with the constitutional state model of rights and justice. The thesis revolves around the essential question, how to contribute to the realization of the public administration model in correspondence with the model of the constitutional State of rights and justice in Ecuador? It is based on the hypothesis according to which the concretion of a public administration model compatible with the constitutional State of rights and justice, will be possible through the definition of standards and performance indicators that approximate the theoretical duty with the real practices of the administrative function of the State. The thesis covers the study of the constitutional state model of rights and justice; the constitutionalization of law in general and of administrative law in particular; the trends of the administrative function and administrative law; the implications of the fundamental political legal model in public administration; the rights and fundamental guarantees of citizens vis-à-vis the public administration; citizen participation and public administration; transparency and public administration; constitutional jurisprudence and public administration; standards and indicators of public administration required by the constitutional State of rights and justice.

[gl] A Constitución de 2008 define a Ecuador como un Estado constitucional de dereitos e xustiza, social, democrático, soberano, independente, unitario, intercultural, plurinacional e laico1, polo que se adhire á corrente filosófica, xurídica e política do xusto Estado, a tutela forte de dereitos, a forza normativa da Constitución e o principio democrático da soberanía popular. A nova Carta adscribiuse ao neoconstitucionalismo e, como consecuencia da adopción do modelo de Estado, converteuse na constitucionalización do sistema xurídico e na constitucionalización do dereito administrativo en particular, así como na constitucionalización da administración pública. Segundo o propio Tribunal Constitucional, coa entrada en vigor da Constitución, operouse "a adopción do neoconstitucionalismo como ideoloxía de Estado"2, pero tamén xurdiu un novo tipo de lei, o dereito constitucionalizado de valores, principios, regras, etc. ponderación e pluralismo xurídico. Este novo modelo xurídico político condiciona o significado da administración pública, que define como un servizo á comunidade rexido polos principios de eficacia, eficiencia, calidade, xerarquía, desconcentración, descentralización, coordinación, participación, planificación, transparencia e avaliación3. Por outra banda, o Código Orgánico Administrativo4, vixente desde xullo de 2018, promulgado case dez anos despois da emisión da Carta constitucional, modela o perfil da administración pública para que se corresponda coa orde fundamental e estea subordinada a ela. Así, o novo código recolle o "dereito fundamental a unha boa administración pública", desenvolve os principios constitucionais e engade outros, que conforman o plexo axiolóxico que define a administración pública diagramada polo sistema xurídico, como legalidade, responsabilidade, proporcionalidade e boa fe. Con estes antecedentes, esta tese explica os trazos esenciais do modelo de administración pública inherente ao Estado constitucional de dereitos e xustiza, diferenciándoo do modelo de administración pública do Estado baseado no dereito; analiza os aspectos fundamentais que conforman este modelo xurídico político e a súa relación cos elementos da administración pública; e, basea a proposta para a construción dun sistema de estándares e indicadores de rendemento relativos á administración pública, de xeito que estea en harmonía co modelo estatal constitucional de dereitos e xustiza. A tese xira en torno á cuestión esencial: como contribuír á realización do modelo de administración pública en correspondencia co modelo do Estado constitucional de dereitos e xustiza en Ecuador? Baséase na hipótese segundo a cal a concreción dun modelo de administración pública compatible co Estado constitucional de dereitos e xustiza será posible a través da definición de estándares e indicadores de rendemento que aproximen o deber teórico coas prácticas reais do función administrativa do Estado. A tese abrangue o estudo do modelo constitucional de dereitos e xustiza; a constitucionalización do dereito en xeral e do dereito administrativo en particular; as tendencias da función administrativa e do dereito administrativo; as implicacións do modelo legal político fundamental na administración pública; os dereitos e garantías fundamentais dos cidadáns fronte á administración pública; participación cidadá e administración pública; transparencia e administración pública; xurisprudencia constitucional e administración pública; normas e indicadores de administración pública requiridos polo Estado constitucional de dereitos e xustiza.
