Journal Article
On the Growth of Knowledge in Public Administration
1986
Overview
This article is a response to the critique of research in public administration by Robert Cleary and Howard McCurdy, published in PAR in 1984. It outlines an alternative theory of knowledge based on positive, interpretive, and critical modes of research. This theory provides a legitimate place for the descriptions and critiques that Clearly and McCurdy find lacking in contributing to the growth of knowledge in public administration. This article also shows how these modes of research are based in administrative experience and are related to recent developments in the postempiricist philosophy of science.
