“…In dissecting these respondents’ workaround approaches, we see little novelty; indeed, several such workarounds were described decade ago in the classic politics of budgeting literature (e.g., Schick, 1969; Wildavsky, 1961, 1964).

The article examines administrative workarounds in the context of university research administration. The empirical results from 116 semi-structured interviews with academic researchers with active National Science Foundation awards are framed by a “Rules Response” model positing relationships among rules compliance requests, administrative burden, red tape, and response choices, including compliance, appeal, rule bending, rule breaking, and workaround behaviors. Propositions are presented and reviewed in light of empirical results. The article concludes the implications of empirical results for improving the Rules Response model and a more general discussion of research needed to improve the understanding of both rules compliance and workarounds.
