Abstract
This study focuses on the knowledge and skill needs of tomorrow's public administrators as perceived by today's professionals. The data represent the cumulative product of three annual surveys conducted by mail questionnaire among public administrators who received recognition by the International City Management Association from 1977 through 1979. For the 1977 and 1978 periods, service award recognition was given to those administrators who had completed 10, 15, 20, or 25 years of public service. (The 1979 recognition was expanded somewhat, including 18 persons who had 30, 35, and 40 years of public service.) During this three-year period, 573 persons were mailed questionnaires; returns were received from 388 respondents, or 68 percent of the total in the three surveys.' While there was some minor variation in the response patterns over the three-year period, the survey results were combined for this analysis.2
