The Coming Death of Administrative Man
This chapter examines how the new patterns may affect the way individuals think about and consequently behave in complex organizations. It describes the concept of administrative man and focuses on alternative theories of organization developed in the women&s;s movement. In contrast to the dismal picture of administrative man drawn by the rational theory of organization, certain elements of the current women&s;s movement are developing more hopef…

The New Public Service Revisited
The New Public Service describes a set of norms and practices that emphasize democracy and citizenship as the basis for public administration theory and practice. This article revisits some of the core arguments of the New Public Service and examines how they have been practiced and studied over the past 15 years. The authors conclude that neither the principles of the New Public Service nor those of the New Public Management have become a domina…
The Big Questions of Public Administration Education
Following Behn's observation that scientists in other fields understand the big questions of their disciplines and focus attention and their discussions on those questions, public administration scholars have attempted to identify the “big questions” in public management and public administration. In this article, I suggest that scholars in public administration should also be attentive to the big questions of public administration education, tho…
Local government performance through the eyes of citizens
Citizens generally do not have a good understanding of local government and consequently have difficulty assessing performance objectively. Instead, they permit a variety of indicators and sources of information to shape their perceptions of government. This research takes a first step toward an improved understanding of citizen-government relations, especially focusing on how citizens see government. The survey results from over 1800 citizens in…
The New Public Service
The New Public Management has championed a vision of public managers as the entrepreneurs of a new, leaner, and increasingly privatized government, emulating not only the practices but also the values of business. Proponents of the New Public Management have developed their arguments largely through contrasts with the old public administration. In this comparison, the New Public Management will, of course, always win. We argue here that the bette…
The Political Theory of Reinvention
In this article, we examine the implications of the reinvention movement for democratic governance, broadly defined. The most basic premise of the reinvention movement is a belief that the accumulation of the narrowly defined self‐interests of many individuals can adequately approximate the public interest. By “narrowly defined,” we mean the interests of individuals as they privately apprehend them, unmediated by participation in a process of civ…
When citizen expectations conflict with budgetary reality
The tension between demand for services and willingness to pay for those services, referred to here as tax-demand discontinuity, poses a dilemma for local government that will only intensify with growing fiscal constraints. This research is based on a survey of over 1800 citizens in Orange County, Florida, the county including Orlando, to develop a seven-position classification system to define the nature and extent of tax-demand discontinuity. C…
Economic and Environmental Concerns and Local Development Policy
Local government development policy and associated public works investments can have important long-term implications for quality of life. Therefore, citizen values and priorities should be used to guide policy decisions. The infusion of citizen values into development policy is particularly important because of the tension between economic and environmental concerns. This research articulates this tension by classifying citizens based on their c…

Beyond the Shadow
Image and Integrity in the Public Service
In a recent commentary, Ubiquitous Anomie: Public Service in an Era of Ideological Dissensus (PA R, July/August 1988, pp. 753-755), Aaron Wildavsky described a sense of anomie or normlessness that he perceives in the public service, especially the federal service. Such a feeling, he argues, has grown out of an ideological dissensus among major party elites about the role of government and, in turn, the mission of the civil service. Under these co…
Time and Organizations
The concept of time is introduced as a major topic for organizational and management research. Including a discussion of differing times and temporalities, macro level research and theory are described that relate time to such substantive areas as organizational culture, strategic planning, and organizational contingency theory. At the micro level, theory and research on time and individual differences, decision making, motivation, and group beha…
Frontiers of Public Service
Implementing Quality Circles in State Government
When a technique is developed in the private sector that produces testimonial after testimonial about its success in solving work-related problems, it is natural for managers in the public sector to become interested.' When the anecdotal reports of the technique's positive effects on attitudes and behaviors are confirmed by solid research, it is natural for public-sector managers to begin using the technique themselves.2 When the technique has be…

Beyond Explanation
In response to Michael Urban's article, "Bureaucratic Ideology in the United States and the Soviet Union: Some Empirical Dimensions," this commentary argues that three modes of knowledge acquisition: the explanatory, the interpretive, and the critical, may be employed by those seeking an explication of our general adherence to hierarchical principles. However, an understanding of the specific purposes to be served by each of these modes is a nece…

Public Administration and the Critique of Domination
Public administration is viewed here as facing a crisis of legitimacy which derives from (1) the field's association with societal tendencies toward regulation and control and (2) the failure ofpublic administration theory to adequately connect with adminis trative practice. In contrast, a critical approach to public administration is outlined, one which holds forth some promise of meaningful reflection and enlightened action in the public sector

Organizational Citizenship and Personal Freedom
THE EMERGENCE of a society marked by an immense proliferation of organization suggests that relevant experiences of modem man may be rapidly shifting from traditional modes of political affiliation to the more exotic citizenships of private association. 1 Surely in an era in which one's devotion to a single organization is increasingly placed before one's concern for a more general social order (a problem of considerable ethical portent), such a …

Race, Inauthenticity, and Religious Cynicism
inant institutions of mass society has proved a recurring theme in social commentary. An exceptionally diverse group of scholars ranging from Marx and Mills to Merton and Parsons1 and beyond have all found common ground in the isolation of man from the social world in which he lives. According to the argument, the worker is detached from the world of work, the citizen excluded from the operations of the state, and the person, in general, dissocia…
