Description
Human Resource Management (HRM) is of central significance to every nation as they strive to govern well and deliver services effectively. The evolution of HRM in the public sector from personnel administration to more strategic management has transformed mechanistic views of the enterprise to ones that are more organic, interactive and collaborative.
This collection provides articles and chapters that address the evolution, current state and potential future of HRM, both in terms of traditional origins and development in public administration and the more contemporary metamorphosis in public management and public policy. The articles are broadly comparative in perspective and include consideration of increasing globalization and inter-dependency among nations and their policies.

Reviews / Votes
'This collection is a remarkable stretch, at once well-grounded in history and forward-looking into the big challenges we face in the future. The rising complexity of the world's biggest problems brings the need for even better governance-and better governance means we'll need even smarter people. Ingraham and Kim have created a thoughtful roadmap for understanding how to get there' - Donald F. Kettl, School of Public Policy, University of MarylandMore details
