Talk as the Work: The Accomplishment of School Administration.
Gronn, Peter C.
Administrative Science Quarterly, v28 n1 p1-21 Mar 1983
A case study in a small public elementary school near Melbourne (Australia), based on transcripts of the principal's conversations with the staff, shows that school administrators spend much of their time talking, that this talk accomplishes administration, and that the talk is used to tighten and loosen administrative control.
