Abstract
Research in educational administration is in need of a general theoretical perspective which could be used to guide the development of an empirical base for a comprehensive, ecologically valid, theory of administration. This paper presents a description of Roger Barker's Behavior Setting Theory and attempts to argue its utility as a broad‐based conceptual framework for research on educational administration.
