The Goal Setting Challenge App: Promoting Self-Determination Through Technology
Promoting student self-determination is recognized as the best practice in secondary transition planning. Few self-determination interventions have utilized technology to provide individualized learning opportunities. The Goal Setting Challenge (GSC) App was developed to provide a technology-based instructional approach to support developing self-determination. The purpose of this single-case study was to evaluate the impact of the GSC App on sel…

Leadership in the British Civil Service: An Interpretation
This article is essentially a polemic. The argument is that when politicians and officials now talk of ‘leadership’ in the British civil service they do not use that word in the way in which it was previously used. In the past leading civil servants, acting in partnership with ministers and within constitutional constraints, exercised leadership in the sense of setting example, inspiring confidence and encouraging loyalty. The loosening of tradit…
The Steel White Paper of 1973: An Idiographic Study in Public Policy Making
In 1960 Professor William Robson, the leading specialist on the study of nationalized industry and public ownership, wrote: `The real character of the relationship between Ministers and public corporations is only gradually becoming known to the public' (Robson, 1962: 142). It seems that advances in knowledge of this subject have been no more than modest in the past 50 years. This article is an idiographic study (Riggs, 1962; Chapman, 1966) inten…

Learning About Oneself from the Public Records: Editing the Report of a Research Project for the Fulton Committee
This article combines an academic study of official documents, only recently available, with the recollections and reflections of a key player in the subject studied. It therefore has a rare (perhaps unique?) approach. It reveals details of civil service attitudes towards research in the social sciences at the time of the Fulton Committee on the Civil Service (1966-68) – important for understanding British public administration not only in the 19…

The Role of the Civil Service: A Traditional View in a Period of Change
From 1854 until the late 1960s the civil service developed greater uniformity and tighter central control. In the 1980s, that process was deliberately reversed, with the establishment of executive agencies and the delegation from the centre of many management responsibilities. The question of standards of conduct was not much considered when those changes were made: the need for efficiency and effectiveness in the delivery of resources was given …

The Higher Civil Service in Britain
It was a good idea to produce an up-todate study of higher civil servants in Britain. And what, it might have been thought, could have been better than that this should be done by someone who had himself been commissioned to do a small-scale study for the Fulton Committee, and knew his way about the voluminous material arising from their work? The account the author gives of his own cohort study, in which some three dozen entrants to the administ…

Thomas Hill Green (1836–1882)
“MANY of the troubles of today reflect the distraction of minds to which a sane and balanced view of society has never been adequately presented. ... No other writer ... has the classical strength and sanity of Professor Green, who was never more thorough and at home than when dealing with those questions affecting citizenship in and for which, it may be said, he lived” (Bosanquet)
