Editorial Reviews
Product Description
This collection of original manuscripts—representing a cross-section of the timeliest scholarship in public personnel administration—explores the theme of “problems and prospects” in public personnel administration. The contributions are organized into four broad sections: The Setting, The Techniques, The Issues, and Reform and the Future. Section One focuses primarily on the social, political, economic, and legal trends that have served as catalysts in the transformation of public personnel administration. Section Two is composed of selections that summarize developments in the practice of HRM, with special emphasis on emerging personnel techniques and the ways that traditional approaches to the staffing function are being revised. Section Three discusses and suggests responses to some of the most troublesome or pervasive issues in modern personnel management. The final section assesses the probable trends in the field's future, and analyzes the efficacy of recent reform efforts. For human resource personnel looking to broaden their perspective in the field.

Excellent supplementary text to accompany a personnel course, 1998-11-24
Hays and Kearney are well know for their edited readers. This text is a compilation of articles from leading writers in the field of public personnel management. As such, the book serves as a useful discussion text within the classroom environment. The subjects treated run the gamut of personnel issues, but most noteworthy are the articles on constitutional law, public ethics, and civil service reform.
