Managerial Ethics in Educational Administration: The Rational Choice Approach.

Crowson, Robert L.

Urban Education, v23 n4 p412-35 Jan 1989

Study of 16 principals in Chicago, Illinois, reveals that in the investigation of ethical-choice behavior, the corporate-incentives model proves to be inadequate as an explanation of principality. What is referred to as counter-bureaucratic behavior is a survival mechanism for beleaguered principals--a balance weight to seemingly anti-educational forces. (BJV)
