Public Human Resource Management: Strategies and Practices in the 21st Century
Autor Randy Paul Battaglioen Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 oct 2014
Recomandăm această lucrare managerilor din sectorul public, administratorilor de instituții guvernamentale și studenților la programele de Administrație Publică sau MBA care doresc să înțeleagă complexitatea gestionării capitalului uman într-un mediu aflat sub presiunea constantă a reformei. Observăm că Public Human Resource Management de Randy Paul Battaglio nu se mulțumește doar cu prezentarea fundamentelor, ci oferă o perspectivă critică asupra modului în care descentralizarea și privatizarea au rescris regulile jocului în instituțiile statului.
Pe linia practică a volumului Human Resource Management in Public Service de Evan M. Berman, dar cu focus pe impactul sistemic al celor cinci piloni ai reformei moderne (inclusiv dereglementarea și plata pe performanță), această carte acționează ca un ghid de navigare prin peisajul legislativ și operațional actual. Suntem de părere că valoarea adăugată a textului constă în includerea unor subiecte adesea ignorate, precum sistemele informatice de resurse umane (HRIS) și motivarea angajaților în contextul diminuării drepturilor tradiționale ale funcționarilor publici.
Structura volumului este riguroasă, pornind de la o bază istorică esențială în prima parte — unde este trasată evoluția serviciului public de la perioada 'Gentlemenilor' la cea a 'Eficienței' și până la 'Managerialismul' contemporan. Ulterior, autorul trece la aspecte tehnice vitale: dreptul muncii în sectorul public, recrutarea, retenția și evaluarea performanței. Cartea reușește să integreze studii de caz relevante și date statistice care transformă conceptele teoretice în instrumente de lucru pentru administratorul modern, oferind o analiză onestă a provocărilor aduse de noile modele de management.

Descriere scurtă
This book offers a novel take on public human resource management (PHRM) by providing practical guidance for practitioners operating in a drastically reformed HR environment. Reviewing foundational topics like recruitment and retention, pay and benefits, equal employment opportunity, and performance appraisal in light of five key reforms (decentralization, deregulation, declassification, privatization, and performance-based pay), author R. Paul Battaglio assesses how the traditional practice of public HR has changed—and not necessarily for the better. New material on human resource information systems, managing motivation in the public sector, and public HR management education is included — a topic rarely found in contemporary PHRM texts. Public Human Resource Management is an essential guide to public HR management and navigating the challenges and opportunities posed in the changing landscape of HR reform.
Recenzii
“I am impressed by the selection of the materials covered in the text. The inclusion of HRIS is a very welcome addition to the HR content. As far as I am aware, this is the first textbook to include a substantive discussion of HRIS among the topics covered. HRIS has been previously confined to stand-alone handbooks, trade books, scholarly books and numerous journal articles. The book is also strong on public service applications and perhaps the most up-to-date volume on reforms in the profession. No other book I am aware of provides a concise analysis of the impact of PHRM reforms relevant for the 21st century learner. Dr. Battaglio is one of the field’s leading minds and he has written a most integrated book on 21st-century human resource management directions and reforms. His work seamlessly integrates HRM reforms within the overall architecture of the larger field of public administration.”
“Public Human Resource Management is very thorough and covers all of the important areas in preparing a 21st-century public administrator. I am very impressed with the case studies and tables within the book. They are very relevant to issues that are important to public administration practitioners. The text is definitely different than other books on the market because it covers new and exciting topics such as HR Information Systems and Privatization. In the past, I have found myself looking for several different resources and compiling them but this book has included those items, such as strategic planning and management and diversity and social equity. I am really excited about using this text.”
