This chapter examines administrative rationalism, a discourse of environmental problem solving which captures the dominant governmental response to the onset of environmental crisis. Administrative rationalism emphasizes the role of the expert rather than the citizen or producer/consumer in social problem solving, and which stresses social relationships of hierarchy rather than equality or competition. The chapter first considers the manifestations of administrative rationalism in various institutions and practices, including environmental impact assessment, planning, and rationalistic policy analysis techniques, before discussing the discourse analysis of administrative rationalism. It then explains the justification of administrative rationalism and problems of administrative rationalism, caused in part by its association with bureaucracy. It also explores the implications of the transition from government to governance for administrative rationalism.

Several studies are reviewed which evaluate the efficacy of training social problem-solving. Most of these studies reported assessing whether transfer of training took place following training. The means by which these assessments were made are examined and conclusions drawn concerning their validity. Attention is also drawn to the findings reported from several recent studies that question the efficacy of the step-by-step process model of training and propose an alternative model based on content analysis. Finally, the role of verbal cues in training social problem-solving is examined and a call made for the empirical analysis of competent behaviour in natural settings prior to training.

The aim of this study was to provide a structural model for explaining social problem solving skill in teachers based on organizational culture and religious orientation with the mediating role of intellectual property. The research method was of correlation type. The statistical population of the study was the teachers employed in the academic year 2017-2018 in two regions 1 and 6 of Tehran province. The statistical sample included 250 male and female teachers who were selected by the cluster random sampling method. For data collection, 4 questionnaires of social problem solving skill (De Zorilla et al., 2002), religious orientation (Bahrami, 2001), intellectual property questionnaire (Bonitz (1998), and organizational culture questionnaire with the Islamic approach of Attaran et al. (2017) were used. Data were collected using structural equation modeling (SEM) and analyzed at two levels of descriptive statistics and inferential level using AMOS and SPSS-22 software. The results showed that effective religious orientation predicts the adaptive skills of social problem solving in a positive and meaningful way and also intellectual property predicts adaptive skills of social problem solving in a positive and meaningful way in teachers. On the other hand, the findings indicated that intellectual property mediates the relationship between organizational culture and adaptive problem solving skills in a positive and meaningful way. But intellectual property does not significantly mediate the relationship between effective religious orientation and maladaptive social problem-solving skills. According to the research results, adaptive social problem solving skills of teachers are predicted based on organizational culture and religious orientation mediated by intellectual property.
