AMERİKAN YÖNETİM DÜŞÜNCESİNİN DOĞUŞU: 1873 KRİZİ ÇERÇEVESİNDE WILSON VE TAYLOR ÜZERİNE BİR DEĞERLENDİRME
THE BIRTH OF AMERICAN ADMINISTRATION THOUGHT: AN EVALUATION ON TAYLOR AND WILSON IN THE FRAME OF THE 1873 CRISIS

Summary/Abstract: The 1873 crisis, which can be described as the first major crisis of capitalism, arose with the end of the period of economic expansion and stable growth seen since 1840. The business approach, which forms the administrative framework of the capitalist mode of production, determined the public administration paradigm between the 1873 and the 1929 crisis. It is not possible to say that American public administration or the discipline of public administration suddenly and spontaneously emerged. Wilson's article and the scientific management principles categorized by Taylor show the structural elements, production style and social organization of the USA in this period. Otherwise, errors such as the universalization of both thoughts removed from their context and their transformation accepted as absolute truths valid for each country will arise. Therefore, it is necessary to explain the contexts of the Study of Administration and the Principles of Scientific Management. In this study, the positions and thoughts of Wilson and Taylor, the founders of the American public administration discipline, will be discussed on the axis of the crisis of 1873, one of the three most influential crises of capitalism. Thus, contrary to what is claimed, a door will be opened to think that the birth of the American public administration discipline is not immune and universal from capitalism, that there are no universal rules for the time and place in the historical process, and that the public administration does not have a separate and completely independent structure from the mode of production.
