Organizational Structure and the Institutional Environment: The Case of Public Schools.

Rowan, Brian

Administrative Science Quarterly, v27 n2 p259-79 Jun 1982

A historical study of three school administrative services--school health, psychology, and curriculum--in 30 California school districts during 1930-1970 used an institutional environment approach to find that balance among institutions and agencies governing school systems, not organizational size, led to greater diffusion and retention of the services.
