Aims & Scope

Administration & Society seeks to further the understanding of public and human service organizations, their administrative processes, and their effect on society.

Of particular interest are (1) studies that analyze the effects of the introduction of administrative strategies, programs, change interventions, and training; and (2) studies of intergroup, interorganizational, and organization-environment relationships and policy processes.
