Hodgkinson on Ethics and the Philosophy of Administration.

Evers, Colin W.

Educational Administration Quarterly, v21 n4 p27-50 Fall 1985

Offers a systematic critical response to the values-oriented, nonpositivist conception of administration and philosophy of administration recently advanced by Christopher Hodgkinson. Argues that Hodgkinson's theory is much closer to the positivism espoused by H. A. Simon. An alternative, nonpositivist basis for values in administrative theory is proposed. (MLF)
