"With over 20 million people on its payroll, the government is the largest employer in the country. Managing people who do the nation’s work is of critical importance to politicians, government leaders, and citizens alike. Personnel Management in Government: Politics and Process, eighth edition, examines the progress and innovations that public personnel professionals are making to address changes in the political, legal, and managerial environment of government. It provides students with a comprehensive understanding of human resource management within its historical and political context in the public sector.

A number of new developments are addressed in the eighth edition, including discussion of:

Human resource management in nonprofit organizations in an all-new, dedicated chapter

Current and future challenges to recruitment and hiring, including the use of social media in recruitment

Privatization and contracting out

The rise of employment ""at will"" policies

Digital technology or ""digitalization"" in HRM and the need to enhance cybersecurity

Managing performance with human capital analytics

Increased reliance on telework

States’ attacks on public sector labor unions

HRM changes under the Trump administration

Since publication of the first edition in 1977, Personnel Management in Government has addressed issues not yet considered mainstream, but that have proven central to the development of the field over time. This long-standing but no less innovative textbook is required reading for all students of public, government, and non-profit personnel management."

Reviews for Personnel Management in Government: Politics and Process

"""The authors continue to provide a timely and thorough introduction to important topics in the field. The inclusion of state government, local government, and non-profit applications are particularly helpful in programs where student career interests are not with the national government. I highly recommend the 8th Edition as a source for introducing the field to practitioners and aspirants alike."" Gregory K. Plagens, Eastern Michigan University, USA"
