Özet:

Dwight Waldo is one of the most prominent names with his contribution to the discipline of public administration after the 1940s. In the discipline that is changing over time, Waldo’s goal is to question the positions of some concepts that have been found in the field. This study, created by the literature scan, discussed the concepts of life, the idea of the New Public Administration, the identity disruption in public administration, the Minnowbrook Conference and the concepts Waldo stands on. Although the public administration discipline includes works that deal with Waldo, the source in the Turkish literature is quite small. This study aims to contribute to the field by examining in detail Waldo and the subjects he affects within the public administration discipline. The changes in the discipline that he spent a long part of his 87 years of life in the academy and with the suggestions he presented, made it necessary to explain many subjects while evaluating Waldo. The transformations in the world of ideas, the academic discussions with the names such as Simon in the field, the recommendations on topics such as efficiency, value, have been taken into the scope of evaluation in this regard. Moving from the acceptance as a management teacher, the purpose of this study is to question Waldo's place within the public administration discipline.
