Differentiating the scholarly identity of educational administration

---

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to sharpen the intellectual identity of the field of educational
administration (EA) and to understand its scholarly boundaries by comparing between the writings of
this field and those of the field of organisational behaviour (OB), an area of study usually located in
faculties of management, and share many commonalities with EA.
Design/methodology/approach – A qualitative content analysis of textbooks and journal papers
in OB and EA, reading of previous writings that revolved around the epistemological dimensions of
these fields.
Findings – The author sheds light on the theoretical and empirical distinctions of OB and EA
historically and provides insight into the distinctive intellectual identity of the latter field during the
2000s. A special attention is given to paradigms and theories in EA imported to the field from outside
and transformed in a way that specify the unique identity of EA in the academic world.
Originality/value – This comparison is warranted in order to clarify more profoundly the unique
contributions of EA, both theoretically and practically, to emphasise the differences that separate it
from other disciplines, and to legitimate its independent position in higher education.
