Topic: Philip Selznick


  
  De recalcitrante organisatie
In bestuurskundige handboeken wordt het boek doorgaans niet behandeld of geciteerd (zie bijvoorbeeld Hoogerwerf, 1978; Rosenthal et.al., 1987).
Selznick maakt in dit verband een belangrijk onderscheid tussen organisaties en instituties.
Selznick plaatst leiderschap in een organisationele context: leiderschap als het vervullen van bepaalde functies die cruciaal zijn voor het voortbestaan van de organisatie.

 Book Review: Philip Selznick's Leadership in Administration
Selznick characterizes organizations as rational and expendable, as governed by rationality and discipline in contrast to what he offers as a higher form of social entity, the institution.
One may, of course, understand this analytic failure of Selznick's as being one more symptom of the fact that he conceives his book as being directed to a very narrow audience; and it is in terms of this audience's values that he defines the organization-institution distinction.
Selznick writes that one of the most important techniques for infusing day-to-day behavior with long run meaning and purpose is the elaboration of socially integrating myths.

Selznick's research and writings, beginning some sixty years ago and continuing to the present day, have contributed significantly to a variety of disciplines and interdisciplinary areas, including the political sociology of organizations,
However, Selznick, influenced by legal realism, sociological jurisprudence, and the pragmatism of John Dewey, looks for conditions under which legal authority may develop the "moral competence" to accurately assess and reflect important societal needs and desires, to further the "common good," in ways that are socially and politically acceptable.
Thus, Selznick writes extensively about the extent to which, and the conditions under which, law in legal institutions, political and governmental institutions, and private institutions may further important social values.

His intention is to demonstrate how the mere mechanical process does not stand for the survival of the organizations and moreover that the need of values and leadership will be the basic strength in the institution's perpetuation.
In this sense he rejects Simon's approach sharply, since for Selznick the realm of values is not apart, but in the core of the enterprise's success, considering the positivist scope too narrow.
Selznick starts stating his argument, which is that "the executive becomes a statesman as he makes the transition form administrative management to institutional leadership".

 The New York Review of Books: EQUALITY FIRST
The difference between liberalism and Reaganism with respect to poverty, for example, is that the Reaganites reluctantly accept the necessity of a "safety net," which is wholly compatible with isolation and disenfranchisement, while the liberal program looks to an ideal of full citizenship, including the economic basis for effective participation.
Professor Selznick argues that the fundamental idea of liberalism is not equality but "community." This seems wrong because we must understand what genuine equality is—what it means to treat people as equals—in order to define a liberal community.
Selznick says that a liberal community may exist even when its members have unequal wealth.

 SSRN-Employee Involvement in Workplace Governance Post-Collective Bargaining by Stephen Bainbridge
Prepared for a festschrift in honor of Philip Selznick, this essay looks back at his 1969 book Law, Society, and Industrial Justice.
Participation through such means is desirable, Selznick posits, because it promotes employee self-actualization, confers legitimacy on the enterprise, and protects employees from opportunism.
The essay concludes that a transaction costs economics-based approach to employee involvement is far more revealing than Selznick's sociology-based model, in that it offers generalized predictions about the function of employee involvement that have proven explanatory over time.

This book is a collection of essays on topics related to constitution-making, constitutional interpretation, and the birth of the rule of law in East-Central Europe since the collapse of communism there.
After an introduction by the editors summing up their colleagues' efforts, the distinguished sociologist of law Philip Selznick begins the volume's Part I, "The Rule of Law", by giving his views on what this concept means.
I found extremely stimulating Selznick's discussion of the meaning of the rule of law; Morawski's treatment of the weaknesses of strict positivism as its basis; and Krygier's critique of those who look at institutions only or culture only to determine whether a nation is likely to remain democratic.
