administrativas

Administrativas is the feminine plural form of the adjective administrativ(a) in Spanish and Portuguese, used to describe things related to administration, management, or the internal operations of organizations and public bodies. In law and public administration, the term is often linked to administrative acts, procedures, and the scope of official activity.

In a legal and governmental context, administrative acts (actos administrativos) are decisions issued by a public authority that affect rights or obligations. These acts are typically subject to review, appeal, or oversight, and they are performed within the framework of administrative law. Administrative procedures (procedimientos administrativos) prescribe the steps agencies must follow to issue such acts, including deadlines, notification, and opportunities to present evidence or arguments.

Within organizations, administrative tasks (tareas administrativas) and offices (dependencias administrativas) handle routine operations such as record-keeping, human resources, finance, and facility management. The term also appears in references to administrative departments or staff (empleados administrativos) responsible for support functions that enable core activities to proceed smoothly.

The exact scope and terminology of administrativ as vary by country and legal tradition, but the core idea remains consistent: administrative activities organize governance and daily operation, distinct from judicial or legislative functions. In academic and professional contexts, administrativ is often discussed alongside administrative law, public administration, and bureaucratic processes, highlighting how formal rules and structures shape public and private sector activity.
