Public Administration in Search of a Theory: The Interdisciplinary Delusion
Public administration has, during recent decades, been widely held to be a study in disarray, without an integrating theory, neither a discipline nor a component of a discipline. The orthodox solution is to affirm that it is an interdisciplinary study, requiring no central theory. 7The study should not and cannot be founded in a single discipline. This essay examines and challenges the case for public administration as an interdisciplinary study.…

Vulgar Ethics for Public Administration
Can goodness be taught? How? Though committed to ethical concerns in the teaching and practice of public administration, this article warns how little basis there is for an evidently burgeoning confidence in the ability to prepare others to do good actions. Yet skepticism is not despair, and ethical reflection is surely required. Ethics may, paradoxically, be both the easiest and the most difficult element of public administration to teach. This …

The Search for Administration Responsibility
Honor in the Bureaucratic Life
How shall men know honor in the bureaucratic life? If not at all, we may largely lose sight of a virtue respected in the West, though not unquestioned, at least since Homer. A substantial and evidently increasing proportion of the members of a modem society, including many persons not “clerks” or “administrators” by vocation, works within bureaucracy. Though large organizations differ in the degree of their bureaucratization, for example, in the …
The Scientist as Public Administrator
The Scientist as Public Administrator
SACRIFICE of research career for one in research administration is common among scientists in the United States today.' It is paradoxical that so many men desert highly respected, even idealized, way of life, for which their professional training and experience have prepared them, to enter an occupation whose very professionalism is suspect. The research administrator stands in an area of ambiguity and transition in the meaning of work: though he…
Scientific Freedom in Government-Sponsored Research
Science Democratized: Advisory Committees on Research
HOUGH farming is typically considered a conservative, tradition-oriented way of life, American agriculture is built upon faith in the practical value of science. The key scientific centers for agriculture have been the state land-grant colleges and the U. S. Department of Agriculture. In an attempt to democratize agricultural research, giving the users of the information more influence upon researchers and administrators, Congress provided in 194…
