Mission and organizational context set the terms for this treatment of human resources. Workforce planning is connected to the aims of public agencies and nonprofit organizations, and recruitment, selection, pay and development are examined under the conditions particular to those sectors. Employment law, equal opportunity, affirmative action, performance appraisal and collective bargaining appear alongside everyday HR functions. Research and case material link strategic ideas to management situations, and staffing decisions are framed as questions of organizational capacity and public service responsibility. The edition suits public administration and nonprofit management courses as well as practitioners studying the foundations of strategic workforce management.
Public and nonprofit missions change what human resource decisions are for. The text links workforce planning to organizational purpose rather than importing private-sector assumptions unchanged.
Legal, social and economic conditions particular to agencies and nonprofits frame the HR functions. Recruitment, pay and development are read against those conditions instead of in the abstract.
Recruitment and selection are treated as capacity-building decisions. The text asks how an organization finds and chooses people who can carry out a public mission.
Compensation and employee development are examined as investments in the workforce. Both are considered within the constraints these sectors face, which shape what is possible.
Performance appraisal connects individual work to organizational accountability. The text considers how assessment operates where public service responsibilities are at stake.
Employment law, equal opportunity, affirmative action and collective bargaining are treated as working conditions of HR practice. They set boundaries and obligations that shape every other function.
Public administration and nonprofit management students, nonprofit managers and HR professionals who need strategic workforce guidance shaped by the legal and mission conditions of public service organizations.
