The ecological perspective in the study of Public Administration was introduced primarily through the writings of :

  • A.Robert Golenbiewski
  • B.Ferrel Heady
  • C.John Gaus
  • D.Gunnar Myrdal

Answer: C

The ecological perspective was introduced primarily through the writings of John Gaus.

John M. Gaus, in Reflections on Public Administration (1947), argued that administration must be studied in relation to its environment: people, place, physical and social technology, wishes and ideas, catastrophe and personality. Fred Riggs later developed the ecological approach in comparative administration.

Robert Golembiewski wrote on organisation behaviour and the paradigms of the discipline, Ferrel Heady on comparative public administration, and Gunnar Myrdal, an economist, on development in South Asia in Asian Drama. None of them introduced the ecological perspective.
