Journal Article
State Administrator Perceptions of the Policy Influence of Other Actors: Is Less Better?
1987
Overview
That administrators participate in agency policy decisions is part of the conventional wisdom reflected in public administration scholarship. Further, much of the bureaucratic politics literature portrays administrators as policy-aggrandizers-resistant to the participation of other policy actors. Yet, the accuracy of this charge is rarely empirically tested. This article examines the extent of influence which state agency heads attribute to and prescribe for themselves and seven other actors in the state policy process. It tests several hypotheses and presents empirical evidence that these administrators may want more policy participation by other actors than is commonly assumed.
