Administrative Science

This article analyses the emergence of administrative science in France in the wake of the Second World War. The birth of this discipline is examined through the history of its founders, a group of comparatist aiming at developing universal administrative principles. The post-war context prompted the creation of checks and balances against administrative power (through oversight of the legality of administrative action) and against the powers of nation states (through human rights and international organizations). Administrative science and comparative law were meant to rebuild international relations. The history of this discipline highlights a legal project to redefine the role and limits of executive power at the dawn of the construction of a new world order. Points for practitioners Looking at long-term developments in the science of administration helps to inform administrative practice by providing a historical and reflective perspective. This article shows how a new understanding of the administrative reality emerged after the fall of the totalitarian regimes of the first half of the 20th century. It highlights the different ways in which administrative power was controlled after the Second World War through greater oversight over administrative legality, the establishment of universal administrative principles and the proclamation of human rights. Questions of administrative legitimacy and the limitation of administrative power are still very much part of the daily practice of executive power, and represent a central aspect of administrative thinking.

Using contingency theory, we argue that there is not a uniform approach for companies to govern information technology (IT) investments. Rather, the level of governance over IT investments is contingent upon the organization’s goals for its IT investments. We find that Australian organizations with both operation- and market-focused IT investment goals (i.e. dual-focused IT goals) demonstrate higher IT investment governance (ITIG) levels than those with less focused IT goals. We also document that dual-IT-focused firms that do not implement high levels of ITIG underperform. Our study informs business executives, boards of directors, and other practitioners interested in governance implementations over IT investments. JEL Classification: M1

This article identifies leadership as a key responsibility of all nurses, including those working in cardiovascular care—whether they are in a leadership role or whether they have to exercise it in their practice. It identifies that, contrary to early theories, leadership knowledge and skills may be taught and learned. It identifies the core definitions of leadership as being influenced by the person, result, position, purpose or process. It goes on to discuss two key approaches to leadership that suit modern nursing practice: contingency theory and transformational leadership. These approaches are demonstrated as pertinent to modern nursing practice because they focus on the development of people and the team, and require emotional intelligence.

Vários pesquisadores têm se voltado para estudos organizacionais, privilegiando temas como nacionalidade dos autores referenciados, o jeito brasileiro de publicar, assunto, enfoque predominante, métodos de pesquisa. O presente estudo insere-se no escopo destes últimos, instigado pelas seguintes questões: Que metodologia tem sido privilegiada em estudos organizacionais de autores brasileiros e estrangeiros? Haverá entre eles alguma diferenciação? Para obter-lhes a resposta foram analisados 194 artigos publicados nos anos 2000 e 2001 em três revistas estrangeiras e três brasileiras, todas desfrutando de grande reputação: Organization Studies, Administrative Science Quarterly, Academy of Management Journal, Revista de Administração de Empresas, Revista de Administração da USP e Revista de Administração Pública. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que, embora o percentual não seja alto, os métodos tradicionais de orientação positivista ainda prevalecem em estudos organizacionais. Os resultados instigaram reflexões sobre suas possíveis causas, bem como a apresentação de metodologias diferentes encontradas nos artigos analisados.
