Administrative Ritual and Ceremony: Social Aesthetics, Myth and Language Use in the Rituals of Everyday Organizational Life.
Samier, Eugenie
Educational Management & Administration, v25 n4 p417-36 Oct 1997
Examines ritual and ceremonial behavior in organizations' social life, suggesting how administration can be conceptualized systematically in ritual terms. Proposes a cultural-studies, interpretive approach to organizational structure, functions, and behavior as ritual systems. Cultural perspectives reveal organizational heterogeneity, identify bases of conflict and common culture, suggest possible resolutions, and clarify educational ethos and values. (72 references) (MLH)
