The invisible administrator

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to argue that intersubjective experiences, governed by various dimensions of space, and induced actions are invaluable to invisible public administrators. Knowledge of these experiences holds the keys to good public administration practice and theory building. Design/methodology/approach - This paper seeks to establish various dimensions for cultivating space in public organizations. These dimensions are related to intersubjective experiences. Findings - The development and refining of methods, including reflection, reflexivity, hermeneutics, and dialectics, to enrich intersubjective experiences, is found to be essential. Practical implications - As organizational realities change, the administrative understandings of intersubjective experiences will have to evolve. Originality/value - Knowledge of the invisible administrator and intersubjective experiences has not been accorded enough research importance.
