Management in the public sector: a content analysis of journals
Article Abstract:
The popularity and implementation of managerial ideas from 1980 to 1992 are examined through the content of five journals revolving on local government, health, education and social service. Contents were analyzed according to commercialism, user involvement, performance evaluation, staffing, strategy and involvement with other organizations. Overall, local government showed utmost involvement with commercialism while health and social care articles were most concerned with user involvement. Education governance issues were very prominent after the 1988 Education Reform Act.

Public administration 1945-1969
Article Abstract:
The contents of the Public Administration journal from 1945-1969 were examined for the purpose of dissecting the state of public service during the same period. Research revealed that academics, more than actual practitioners, contributed most of the articles stemming from the industry's professionalization during the post-war period. Empirical articles which utilized case studies were likewise popular but generated minimal external funding with only two grants in the entire 25-year period.
