Public Human Resource Management by Randy Paul Battaglio

Public Human Resource Management by Randy Paul Battaglio

A comprehensive introduction to contemporary public human resource management, this text incorporates analysis of the impact of the private sector-oriented reforms over the last few decades that have aimed to bring greater efficiency and productivity to the public sector.

"I am impressed by the selection of the materials covered in the textThe 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."
