Abstract

A framework is proposed in which changes in administrative component are related to organization requirements for managerial, institutional, and technical activities. Longitudinal data for a sample of high school districts are used to test the framework. Empirically, size of administrative component had impact on both revenue acquisition and service outputs. Findings suggest that an administrative component larger than required by organization size may have positive influence on both institutional and technical outcomes of school district organizations.
