Abstract
Greenfield's subjectivism is the important milestone for educational administration theory development. This paper mainly discusses the Greenfield's subjectivism on educational administration and its evaluation. First, it explores the social reality of subjectivism viewpoint, which opposes with the natural system viewpoint. Second, it discusses Greenfield's arguments on organization theory, leadership and the future development of educational administration research. Greenfield expresses doubts about what he sees as the ill-conceived nature of educational administration. He contends that placing meaning and intention upon experience shapes what we call organizations and that this process should be the focus of organizational theory. Finally, this paper provides some considerable reflections about six major issues: (l) fact vs. value; (2) research method; (3) theory vs. practice; (4) nomothetic vs. idiographic; (5) the unique aspect of the educational administration; and (6) concrete research results of the educational administration.
