Features: This book attempts to explore the current status and future development trends of public sector human resource management from both theoretical and practical perspectives. To adapt to the changes of the new era, government personnel management must transform from its traditional role as administrative support to implementing innovative reforms in theory and practice. Whether it concerns traditional personnel management or emerging theoretical perspectives and practical operations, there are many opportunities for reference and exchange between the public and private sectors. However, this book argues that reforms in government human resource management still need to take into account the unique institutional environment and value propositions of the public sector. Additionally, the book provides extensive analysis and discussion on the following emerging topics: strategic human resource management, organizational workforce downsizing, handling problematic employees, training and career development for senior executives, and human capital.
