Sinossi
This book examines administrative behavior by studying the process of decision-making within organizations. It explores the ideas of various scholars and theorists who have studied the behavior of public administrators within organizations over many decades. The author examines the history of how the field of public administration came to be organized around concrete categories of institutions, which resulted in an overspecialization of knowledge and the fragmentation of disciplines. This resulted in a field that is often divorced from real-world experience and focused on internal processes, rather than external, political processes. By tracing the evolution of administrative theory and its prominent ideas, the author provides a framework to understand the tensions between politics and administration. The author does so by examining the relationship between value judgments and empirical observation, and the ways in which those two processes come together in the form of administrative decision-making. The author concludes that a useful way to distinguish administrative behavior is to examine its internal criteria for correctness, and that administrative institutions often avoid external control because of the technical, quasi-business or commercial nature of their work.
