Article 227 of the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador establishes that the Public Administration constitutes a service to the community that is based on the principles of effectiveness, efficiency, quality, hierarchy, decentralization, decentralization, coordination, participation, planning, transparency and evaluation. . According to Tobar (2005) Administrative rules; They consist of all those principles, norms, regulations and laws that provide the adequate framework for what management, conduction is; that is, the administration of a public or private organization. The simplification of administrative procedures means merging those related procedures to avoid duplication, or suppressing those procedures that have lost their original purpose. (2022). The purpose of this investigation is to carry out a technical-legal analysis on the importance of simplifying procedures in the exercise of public administration, in order to achieve compliance with the principles of efficiency and effectiveness. For this, a methodology based on non-experimental research was used, it is based on the observation of one or more characteristics, under a qualitative-quantitative modality because it offers a better collection of information from both modalities; qualitative, because it deals with the acquisition of non-numerical data to understand all kinds of concepts, opinions or experiences that have been lived; and, quantitative, because numerical and statistical data are collected. The results of the study showed that, in the city of Babahoyo, there is a long way to go to use legal technical resources to exercise public administration in such a way that the principles of efficiency and effectiveness are met.
