Handbook of Organizational Consultation, Second Editon
A handbook on organizational consultation. This second edition includes more than 35 new chapters and an expanded list of international contributors. It analyzes all aspects of organizational consulting - including normative, empirical and political topics - and offers a broad view of consultation diagnoses, problem centres, and interventions
Small Groups and Large Organizations
Small-group analysis has proved more than a flash in the analytic pans of scholars from a wide variety of disciplines. This poor metaphor may be supported in diverse ways. Consider but three foci: the “scientific” advantages of small-group analysis, the explosive growth of the research literature, and the usefulness of the additions to our knowledge gleaned from the study of small groups.

Handbook of Organizational Behavior
Presents organizational behaviour from a marketing perspective, offering examinations of standard topics, areas that deserve more attention and emerging issues that will affect the future of OB. Subjects that contribute to expanding demand for OB theory, approaches and results are explored
Citizenship Behavior and the Spirit of New Managerialism
This article develops an integrative understanding of the relationship between citizenship behavior in and around organizations and new public management (NPM). The authors argue that recent theory of NPM underestimates the economic, symbolic, and educational contribution of many voluntary actions, here termed citizenship behavior, to public organizations as well as to modern society. Relying on this argument, the authors develop a multidimension…
Leadership Credibility, Board Relations, and Administrative Innovation at the Local Government Level
This article explores the association between administrative leadership, elected board behavior, and administrative innovation at the municipal level. It is hypothesized that city administrators perceived as credible leaders will generally nurture more regenerative relationships with their respective boardslleading to higher trust, higher openness, lower risk, and higher owning. The resulting cooperative dynamic should facilitate the acceptance a…
Next Stage of Burnout Research and Applications
This note introduces a holistic estimate of burnout, which can be used to extend bivariate designs such as that of Turnipseed. The "phase model" builds on but also transcends the widely accepted approach to burnout via three separate subdomains. Here, these subdomains generate eight progressively intense phases that covary regularly with differences in a wide range of variables. Also, the phase model permits diagnoses on which ameliorative design…
Some Limitations of One “Clinical Approach”
Estimates of Burnout in Public Agencies
The phase model of burnout (Golembiewski, Boudreau, Munzenrider, and Luo, 1996) permits for the first time informed estimates of the incidence of this modern disease. This article focuses on data about burnout in public work--in 13 U.S. work sites, in 11 Canadian sites, and in 10 global studies conducted in sites ranging from China to Taiwan (see Appendix A for summary details). For limited purposes, the public-sector incidences of the burnout al…
The Future of Public Administration
Editor's Note: This first in a series of two articles on intellectual development of public administration under Professor Jack Rabin's editorship. The Editors are very grateful to him for creating series and bringing articles to our readers. Not long ago, public administration was acknowledged queen of managerial disciplines but now troubled. How this came about cannot be fully explained here,(1) although several major contributors do get attent…
Tomorrow's City Management
What can be done to reorient tomorrow's city management? The authors suggest following seven high-priority remedies or palliatives for city managers. 1. an elaboration of a volatile and mixed politics/administration zone, 2. a new blend of fact [equilibrium] value, 3. an emphasis on effectiveness as guide for city management, along with a deemphasis on efficiency and economy, 4. a focus on continuous improvement as a guiding metaphor 5. various w…

Today's City Managers
The theme here is commonplace: failure of success. You know how it goes. Some innovation suits times; sweet memories live on, often tenaciously; and paradoxically, greater initial success, greater likelihood of failure, in face of change. City has requisites. The concept has a heritage that attracts, but concerns are building. Alan Kiepper put his finger on issue in late 1970s. There has to be something fundamentally wrong with a profession, we p…
Organizational development in the third world
This paper seeks to counterbalance some common arguments about the role of organization development (OD) in Third World settings. OD is a value-laden technology and this raises the issues of the closeness of fit of specific OD approaches or designs to different cultures, histories and settings. Most organizational theorists recommend a close fit, based upon an overall characterization of OD and estimates of the features of macro-cultures such as …
Organization Is a Moral Problem
As the present title suggests, this author still sees the broad argument as on-target, far more rather than less, in the several senses to be detailed below. Overall, the original article anticipates the present-in essence, as well as in many details. The article also provides useful orientation toward our future organizational challenges, as will be sketched below. Hence the following reactions to the original piece are structured under two majo…

Burnout and Mental Health Among Police Officers
This study extends to an important occupational group a line of research dealing with the phases of burnout and health status.

This association is consistent with numerous other tests of the concurrent validity of the phase model. Here, two local police departments, N = 213, success…

A Critique of "Democratic Administration" and Its Supporting Ideation
This paper analyzes Vincent Ostrom's major work, The Intellectual Crisis in American Public Administration, which he offers as providing paradigmatic direction for public administration and political science. The analysis urges caution as to that theory's status, especially from five analytic perspectives. Basically, attention is directed at the methodology or mode of inquiry associated with Ostrom's grounding of his argument in public choice the…

Success of Od Applications in the Public Sector
Over a decade has passed since a brace of articles first appeared in this Review urging the usefulness in the public sector of what is usually called organization development, or OD. The first article provided an overall schema of the values and early technology of the approach to change.' The second sought to summarize experience with several OD applications at the federal level, with dual emphasis on the need for OD in the public sector as well…
The Group Basis of Politics
Academics who make scholarly book on trends in the literature must heed “the group theory of politics.” For there is much evidence that the approach is being de-emphasized for a third time. Arthur Bentley's The Process of Government is, of course, the most prominent of the contributions apparently headed for disciplinary oblivion. This paper attempts to blunt the recent criticism by directing students to the unfinished (and largely untouched) bus…

IN matters of both substance and detail, students and practitioners of public administration often have raised question: Specialist or generalist? While literature has supported both, weight of contemporary opinion has decisively favored generalist.' Still, specialist's role is so important in practice, and his influence on decisions is so pervasive, that respected scholars again have questioned generalist emphasis.2 In fact, recent research sugg…

O RGANIZATION in both business and government increasingly relies on the approach. Applications in business organizations such as Humble Oil have received massive attention in the literature and sometimes have involved thousands of employees. Public agencies have kept pace, but with far less public notice. Thus, IRS, the Peace Corps, and the New York Port Authority have utilized lab methods to provide opportunities for the personal growth of thei…

is reflected in distinctive ways of organizing work. If the preceding age stressed stability and consistency, roughly, the emphasis today is on organizing for change and variability. The specific implications are diverse and still obscure, but the general point is overwhelming. John W. Gardner reflects both the certainty and the caution. What may be most in need of innovation is the corporation itself, he notes. Perhaps what every corporation (an…

There is a truism about applied research that an inadequate concept of change leads to diminished or misguided applied research. Hence this paper urges distinguishing kinds of change, distinctions which are suggested by experience and also are supported with evidence generated by exotic statistical and computational techniques in which we have been engaged. An immediate pay-off of making such distinctions is more definite reliance on existing res…
