Some literature suggests that administrators of public agencies are not receptive to measures designed to enhance public participation in agency policymaking. This article presents evidence which suggests that disciplinary biases exist in the receptivity of professionals to advice. However, in public welfare administration, as opposed to some other fields, the existence of a professional referent group-social workers-seems not to stifle public participation but to encourage it. Other findings of a survey of county welfare directors indicate that more experienced administrators were less receptive to public input, but that those who perceived themselves as having power in policymaking tended to welcome the public's participation
