Who is the gospel of neutral principles of administration ?
Gulick
The classical (administrative management) school believed that administration could be built on universal, value-free principles that apply to any organisation irrespective of its purpose — the idea of neutral principles of administration.
Luther Gulick, in ‘Notes on the Theory of Organization’ (Papers on the Science of Administration, 1937, edited with Urwick), gave the acronym POSDCORB and argued that efficiency is the axiom number one of administration, with principles that hold regardless of the political or social setting. He is therefore regarded as the chief preacher (the ‘gospel’) of such neutral principles.
Elton Mayo founded the human relations approach on the Hawthorne studies, which stressed informal groups and social factors, not universal principles.
Herbert Simon attacked the classical principles as ‘proverbs of administration’ that contradict each other, and Fred Riggs developed the ecological approach, which says administration cannot be understood apart from its environment — both reject neutral universal principles.
Hence, the answer is Gulick.
