Opis

This book argues that the expansion of administrative activities in today’s working life is driven not only by pressure from above, but also from below. With an ethnographic study and by drawing upon Simmel’s Eigendynamik, the authors uncover the hidden attractions of doing administrative work.

Recenzje

'The theses presented in Hidden Attractions of Administration can be a mirror in which the actions of administration employees reflect in a real, attractive, and obvious way ... The book will certainly be interesting reading for all teachers, medical staff, social workers, managers, and so on, and students who will work in public administration institutions in the future.' - Beata Pawłowska, Symbolic Interaction
