Editor's Note : The Perspectives in this issue are from prominent higher education leaders with roots in public administration and public policy. I asked the contributors to reflect upon experiences or principles grounded in our field that they have found meaningful during the course of their careers.

Public Sector Professionals
This article reports on an empirical study of the job characteristics of public sector professionals and the impact of these characteristics on motivation, job satisfaction, and work involvement. We collected data from a random sample of professional and blue-collar workers in state government.

Improving Business-Government Relations
In this article I present a discussion of the role of schools of public affairs in promoting and facilitating business-government cooperation. A survey of National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA) members was conducted to determine if public administration schools are concerned about this issue and if they are involved in activities intended to foster public-private relations and cross-sector understanding.

Public, Private and Hybrid Organizations

Analysis of data from 250 public, private and mixed, or hybrid, R&D laboratories indicates that there are clear distinctions between organizations based on sector affiliation.

Biobehaviorism and Small Group Research
The small group is a major cause in the formation of attitudes, beliefs, and behavior. The group forms the primary reference for the individual in terms of the socialization of norms and values and the establishment of loyalties. This led Golembiewski (1978:28) to write: In this elemental sense, the group is a medium of control. It is a major context in which people develop their concepts of who they are, or to say almost the same thing, of how t…

Who Pays for Veterans' Preference
The role of veterans `preference in the federal civil service has been both attacked and applauded. Yet little policy research has been conducted investigating the impact of preferential hiring on veterans, the merit system, or the employment of women and miniorities. This article uses data on employees within the General Schedule system to isolate the effects of veterans `preference from those of race, sex, education, federal experience, and age…
