Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 1993.

The underlying conceptual assumption of this study was that metaphor shapes our perceptual reality, i.e., our values, beliefs, and assumptions about behavior and that organizational culture is based on those same values, beliefs, and assumptions about behavior. Thus it is logical to assume that metaphors influence administrative behavior patterns and, consequently, the organizational culture, which originates from the perceptual reality of its members. In addition, there is a common organizational culture within graduate schools of educational, business, and public administration, which creates a perceptual reality for graduate students, which later influences their professional behavior within their chosen professions.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The underlying conceptual assumption of this study was that metaphor shapes our perceptual reality, i.e., our values, beliefs, and assumptions about behavior and that organizational culture is based on those same values, beliefs, and assumptions about behavior. Thus it is logical to assume that metaphors influence administrative behavior patterns and, consequently, the organizational culture, which originates from the perceptual reality of its members. In addition, there is a common organizational culture within graduate schools of educational, business, and public administration, which creates a perceptual reality for graduate students, which later influences their professional behavior within their chosen professions.
520 $a This research was an analysis of the 13 dominant semantic metaphor categories found in textbooks used in required theory courses in the nine graduate schools in New York State that offer all three programs of graduate degrees in educational, business, and public administration. Two panels of experts, cluster analysis, and nonparametric Spearman rank-order correlations were employed.
520 $a No single predominant semantic metaphor was identified across all textbooks. The six highest ranking primary dominant semantic categories of political, scientific, militaristic, interpersonal, technological, and financial, contained approximately 77 percent (n = 4130) of all the metaphors (N = 5332). Analysis by area of discourse (leadership, decision-making, and communication) and by discipline (education, business, and public administration), in general, showed the same rankings for the metaphors in this study. Only the interpersonal dominant metaphor was consistently included in the top six dominant metaphors as the only social-human metaphor. All findings were statistically significant at the.001 level.
520 $a The findings suggest that, across all three disciplines, whether analyzed by total number of metaphors, by area of discourse, or by discipline, the cluster of dominant metaphors in these textbooks represent the traditional views of classical organizational theory, or rational systems theory as propounded by such early theorists as Taylor, Fayol, Weber, and Simon.
