Features: This book is set against the backdrop of the burgeoning transformation in public administration. With the goal of achieving scientific, effective, and rational human resource management in the public sector and continuously enhancing government capabilities, it systematically summarizes the experiences and shortcomings of traditional Chinese personnel management, fully incorporating theories and practical experiences from international human resource management. It explores beneficial mechanisms and systems for public sector human resource management that are suitable for China's context. This book is the result of our efforts to summarize the experiences of traditional Chinese personnel management and the new experiences in human resource management in recent years, while absorbing theories and practical experiences from international human resource management. It aims to establish and improve a discipline system for public sector human resource management that aligns with international trends and suits China's context, under the persistent and widespread advancement of the "New Public Management" ("Government Reengineering") wave in the West, the intense ongoing public administration reforms in China, and the vigorous development of public administration education. The writing of this book adheres to the principles of emphasizing both theory and practice, integrating theory with practice, and combining quantitative and qualitative analysis. It provides a relatively detailed discussion of public sector human resource management. This book can serve as a textbook for human resource management in various public administration disciplines, as a self-study guide for civil servants, managers in enterprises and institutions to learn the theory and practice of human resource management and operational techniques, and also holds reference value for educators and researchers engaged in teaching and theoretical research on public sector human resource management. It is also of certain significance for teaching and research personnel and students in business administration disciplines who are involved in human resource management.
