Clinical and Humanistic Training as a Foundation for Effective Administration

Abstract

The change from the “mechanistic” to the “behavioural” view of the administration process is discussed and the point emphasized that the work of the administrator is essentially concerned with the relationship between organizational and personal needs. It is argued that the implications of this for the training of administrators are the necessity for (1) a broadly based liberal education, (2) training in the technologies of the organization he is to administer, (3) some intensive work in the area of the social sciences, and (4) at least a year spent in the study of administration as an applied science.
