Institutional Environments and Resource Dependence: Sources of Administrative Structure in Institutions of Higher Education.

Tolbert, Pamela S.

Administrative Science Quarterly, v30 n1 p1-13 Mar 1985

Analyses involving public and private institutions of higher education indicate that dependence on nontraditional sources of support is a strong predictor of administrative differentiation and demonstrate the validity of integrating the two theoretical perpectives of resource dependence and institutionalization. Seven tables, a graph, and 42 references are provided. (DCS)
