Administrative Theory
CRJU 0624
L. Michael McCartney, Ph.D.
● This course
covers: 
▪ The history and development of theories of organization and administration
▪ Theories of individual and group motivation
▪ The influence of organizational cultures
▪ Theories of
power and the development of theories of leadership, as distinct from theories
of management
The
study of administrative theory is interdisciplinary in nature, borrowing from
several of the social and behavioral sciences. It deals with the motivation of
individuals and their behavior
as
members of groups or teams. It then explores styles of management and theories
of leadership. As its title implies, the course introduces students to the
field of administrative theory in general
and its
application to the criminal justice system in particular. It is based on many
of the standard works in the fields of business and public administration.
