Abstract:

By common definition, an administrator is one who directs or manages affairs of some kind. Interpreted broadly, but still accurately, this makes any person engaged in any direction or management an administrator. This is true for the president of a large corporation or institution, and also for the single individual who is directing and managing his own individual labor.

Regardless of the number of these "individual administrators," one person is commonly designated to direct and manage all the activities of a unit or organization, and is called the administrator. All this results in the chief administrator's being necessarily involved in a greater amount of direction and management, a greater scope of activities, and more responsibility than an individual member. In addition, the administrator is totally responsible for the activities of the other members of his unit or organization.
