Outside the Goal Paradigm: Power and Structured Patterns of Non-Rationality
论证权力比目标或理性更能解释组织行为，基于社会工作组织的研究实例，展示权力如何在松散耦合的街头官僚机构中组织，并区分组织手段与运营资源。
It is argued that power is a better explanatory factor in organizational analysis than are 'goals' or 'rationality'. This is supported by examples from the author's research in social-work organizations. These examples illustrate some of the ways that power is organized in what recent writers have called 'loosely coupled', 'street-level' bureau cracies. Informal and spontaneous organizing practices as well as rituals decide real (as distinct from formal) power and control at the operating level. For the analysis of those processes, a distinction is made between the means of organizing and other operational resources of an organization.
