What is Ecology?
• Ecology is a concept borrowed from the
field of biology, in which the term refers to
the study of organism in relation to its
environment. The analogy between
biological ecology and management
ecology is, however, imperfect.
The reason is that in contrast to
biological organism, human
organizations show greater propensity
to change and modify their
environments instead of adopting to
them or being subject to them.
Therefore the individual and his
organizational environment are in a
complex state of interaction with its
environment.
• McFarland stressess,
“Ecological approach lends
itself to those theories of
organization which take the
organization to be,by analogy, a
living, dynamic organism.”
Ecology refers in two things:
• Interaction of the organisms to
public administration and their
environment;
• Interation of the administrator with
the organixazation itself.

External environment

outside the organizational structure of public
administration.

environment.

with his organization.
