Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civil Service Administration Efinitiojn. Civil service administration has in. The past been that branch of the public service which has jurisdiction over the selection of civilian employes required to carry on the public business. In most cases these employes have been selected by means of competetive tests. With the recent introduction of service records, the recent development of promotion examinations and the prosecution of efficiency studies, the sphere of the civil ser vice administration has been gradually enlarged, and when the present day interest in salary classification, in service instruction and in centralized disciplinary control has been crystalized into legislation, civil service administration will include most of the activities whch in private life are com prehended within the field of employment management.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Administration, Vol. 2 of 15: Civil Service Their distrust of Democracy induced them to construct the electoral college for the choice Of a President, the original idea being that the people should elect their best and wisest men, who in turn should, untrammelled by outside pressure, elect a President.

Download or read book A Reform for the Civil Service Classic Reprint written by Stephen Demetriadi and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Reform for the Civil Service The reform of the Civil Service, by which I mean those reforms which will place it in a permanent state of efficiency, is a question which must necessarily become more and more urgent. On the one hand our administrative obligations have increased at an unprecedented rate - witness, amongst others, the Ministries of Education, Health and Pensions-ou the other, our financial resources have diminished. If I employ one gardener at a salary of £3 per week, and receive from him work to the value of £22 105. Per week, my weekly loss is 103. But if I employ three gardeners on the same terms, my loss rises to £1 10s. If we admit, then, as we must do, that the Civil Service is not efficient, we must also admit that the wastage has become vastly more serious with the increase in the number of our Departments.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Civil Service: Home, Colonial, Indian, and Diplomatic A personal experience Of forty-two years inside the British Civil Service, and the practical handling as a journalistic leader-writer of a considerable number of Civil Service questions arising from time to time for discussion in the public press, may, perhaps, be deemed sufficient warrant to me for writing this book. I venture to think I shall be doing a public service by its issue. My aim throughout it has been to show, by stimulating examples afforded of men who have succeeded in reaching high positions and honours, what, by perseverance and indomitable energy, can be accomplished in the finest administrative service in the world employing something like a quarter of a million of persons.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civil Service: The Merit System, the Spoils System Two facts are noteworthy with regard to the effect of the use of the merit system on partisan contests in politics. The total cost of the executive service is over Of this about three-fourths is now paid to those employees who are under the merit sys tem. This very large sum is no longer held out as prizes for partisan activity, or treated as the spoils of the enemy. The other fact is that the feeling of the people that the government is theirs, and does not belong to the party in power for the time being, is greatly strengthened. The entrance examinations are held in all parts of the land, and men and women are selected for the departments at Washington with no regard whatever for their party views or the influence of politicians. This has been of great effect in laying to rest the passions bred by the civil war, and giving to the dwellers in the South a sense of their common rights and duties as citizens of the nation. It is a great and lasting gain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: The Federal Service: A Study of the System of Personnel Administration, of the United States Government by Lewis Mayers is a seminal work highlighting the importance of personnel in government administration. Mayers tries to fill a lacuna in existing literature by focusing more on the importance of personnel of which not too much has been explored and debated. It delves into the intricacies of personnel management, making note of existing challenges as well providing a hard hitting critique of set practices.

The title is divided into multiple sections, each dealing with a particular aspect of personnel administration, starting with an articulate introduction and spanning across issues like promotions, recruitment, standardization and organizational structures among others. The insights of the author shine through most chapters, especially when deconstructing complex concepts like federalism and contextualizing personnel administration within the existing government framework of the US.

This book was released on 2018-02-18 with total page 794 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Third Report of the State Civil Service Commission The Commission was also convinced that the Civil Service lav established a State administrative system which may be enforced everywhere as the Legislature may direct. The consti tutional provision of article 10. Section 2, safeguards local self government with respect to counties as well as cities. The administration of the civil service svstem in counties is delegated to the State Commission, and the Legislature might, in its dis cretion. Likewise have devolved the administration of the city civil service upon the State officers. The Legislature in creating municipal commissioners at its discretion lost none of its power to abolish their ofi'ices or to authorize their removal by the State Commission. The civil service system was established not merely or mainly to regulate the performance of the work of government, State or local. But to check a tendency demoralizing to the community and dangerous to political liberty. The sys tem. Though doubtless intended to improve the service. Was pri marily adopted to prevent public office being used as a weapon Of political warfare, and it is a matter of intimate concern to the people of the State at large that the offices of a city should not be used as spoils to build up or tear down a political party. The power to enforce the administration of' the merit system in Cities by removal of unfaithful municipal commissioners is prop reserved to the' State. City rules must be approved by the slate Commission, and the whole civil service system as estab lifllled by the Constitution is founded on the theory that the lolllliuistration of the law in the cities is not a local function. Thelefore the officers of that administration are not local oficers 0 {be meaning of article 10, section 2, of the Constitution.

This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Public Personnel Administration The Institute for Government Research is an association of citizens for cooperating with public officials in the scientific study of government with a view to promoting efficiency and economy in its operations and advancing the science of administration. It aims to bring into existence such information and materials as will aid in the formation of public opinion and will assist officials, particularly those of the national government, in their efforts to put the public administration upon a more efficient basis. To this end, it seeks by the thorough-going study and examination of the best administrative practice, public and private, American and foreign, to formulate those principles which lie at the basis of all sound administration, and to determine their proper adaptation to the specific needs of our public administration. The accomplishment of specific reforms the Institute recognizes to be the task of those who are charged with the responsibility of legislation and administration; but it seeks to assist, by scientific study and research, in laying a solid foundation of information and experience upon which such reforms may be successfully built. While some of the Institute's studies find application only in the form of practical cooperation with the administrative officers directly concerned, many are of interest to other administrators and of general educational value. The results of such studies the Institute purposes to publish in such form as will insure for them the widest possible utilization.
