Administrative Thinkers

"A very significant contribution in the growth of administrative thought in our modern time was made by political thinkers like Karl Marx who strongly pleaded that the workers who form vast majority of population in very country are being denied a share in the running of their own administration both in the government and industry. Karl Marx and many other intellectuals came forward with their ideas about administration and role of administrators in society. Mention among others may be made about Woodrow Wilson, Henri Fayol, F.W. Taylor, Max Weber, Urwick, L. Gulick, M.P. Follet, Chester I. Bernard, Likert, Dror, Gregor etc. Then came various political philosophies like individualism, socialism, anarchism, syndicalism etc. Each school of political thought gave its own views about the role of administrators and state administration in the life of the citizens.
