Download or read book Motivation in Public Management written by James L. Perry and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-05-15 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivation in Public Management: The Call of Public Service joins a long-standing debate about what drives the behavior of government employees and others who are engaged in the public's business. For many centuries, public service was considered a noble calling and, more recently, a profession. During the latter part of the 20th century, however, many scholars called into question both the reality and desirability of a public service ethic. This book draws upon a substantial and growing body of evidence from across disciplines in the social, behavioral, and natural sciences. It asks and answers key questions about the extent to which behavior is fundamentally self- or other-regarding. To paraphrase James Madison, 'public servants are not angels,' but neither are they self-aggrandizing opportunists. The evidence presented in this volume offers a compelling case that motivation theory should be grounded not only in rational choice models, but altruistic and prosocial perspectives as well. In addition to reviewing evidence from many disciplines, the volume extensively reviews research in public management conducted under the rubric of 'public service motivation'. The volume is a comprehensive guide to history, methodology, empirical research, and institutional and managerial implications of research on public service motivation. As the contributors illustrate, the implications transcend particular sectors or countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Palgrave Handbook of the Public Servant examines what it means to be a public servant in today’s world(s) where globalisation and neoliberalism have proliferated the number of actors who contribute to the public purpose sector and created new spaces that public servants now operate in. It considers how different scholarly approaches can contribute to a better understanding of the identities, motivations, values, roles, skills, positions and futures for the public servant, and how scholarly knowledge can be informed by and translated into value for practice. The book combines academic contributions with those from practitioners so that key lessons may be synthesised and translated into the context of the public servant.

In Engaging Government Employees, you will learn: Why a highly engaged staff is 20 percent more productive How to get employees to deliver “discretionary effort” How to assess the level of engagement Why free pizza and Coke every Friday is not a viable strategy Engaging Government Employees rejects the typical one-size-fits-all approach to motivation.

Download or read book Transformational Leadership Impact on Employee Motivation and Performance in the Public Sector written by Susan Ibarra and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the years, leadership in the public sector has been discussed as a significant component of effective management. The public sector faces challenges regarding increasing motivation and performance because an effective leadership style has not yet been identified. Research shows that the leadership style that a manager exhibits is a key to having a positive influence on motivation and performance. The aim of this study is to investigate the importance of leadership on motivation and performance with a focus on transformational leadership in the public education system. Transformational leadership is a leadership model that inspires employees to focus on the greater good. Transformational leaders motivate employees to rise above their self-interests to better the organization and exceed their expected performance. The study will adopt a concurrent triangulation mixed-methodology approach focusing on analyzing superintendents' and principals' perceptions of leadership. The survey responses will provide important qualitative and quantitative data on motivation and performance in the public education. Data will be collected from 300 employees working at 20 different K-12 school districts with locations in the East San Gabriel Valley Los Angeles County. The study will provide useful perspectives on school districts' leaders to enhance and improve performance outcomes and the public's quality of services.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The public sector faces various limitation which restricts the organization's ability to incentivize employees to increase employee morale. Leaders of all levels must find creative ways to motivate employees to positively affect performance and therefore, increase patient satisfaction. Patients have the option to be treated by private organization for their medical and mental health needs, creating a competition for our public hospitals and clinics. It is necessary to keep patients happy with the services that Health Services offers to retain the business of patients. Hospitals and clinics are scored, by a third party, based on surveys completed by patients, which ranks the hospitals and clinics in comparison to similar private and public facilities. The results of those surveys are deciding factors on the facilities' eligibility for government subsidies and grants. Leadership of all levels are faced with staff shortages, high turnover rates and absenteeism which are all believed to be factors of low morale and job un-satisfaction. Unlike the private sector, managers and supervisors do not have the freedom to incentivize employees with monetary raises, bonuses or even small gestures such as food or gifts. In the public sector, employees cannot just be given promotions based on their performance or be given privileges vi that are not approved. On the other hand, employees that do not perform at a high capacity cannot be punished without proper procedures which can be extensive and time consuming and cannot be a supervisor's priority due to high demands in relation to patient care. The direct correlation between a leader's ability to motivate an employees and an employee's moral affect the satisfaction of the patients that are being served, makes the issue an administrative matter. Developing methods to engage employees and increase moral within civil service rules in a patient centered environment is the key to statistically improve the facilities ratings and therefore, retaining patients and organizational success..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public sector organizations are fundamentally different to their private sector counterparts. They are multi-functional, follow a political leadership, and the majority do not operate in an external market.

Drawing on both instrumental and institutional perspectives within organization theory, as well as democratic theory and empirical studies of decision-making, this text addresses five central aspects of the public sector organization: goals and values leadership and steering reform and change effects and implications understanding and design.

Download or read book The Handbook of Federal Government Leadership and Administration written by David H. Rosenbloom and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public management is context dependent, rather than generic. That may sound obvious, but in the late 1920s through the 1930s, a dominant strand of thought considered public administration to be a "single process," wherever practiced. Today by contrast, federal administration is distinguished from private enterprise, nonprofit management, and state and local governmental practices by the combined effects of its scope and scale; the constitutional separation of powers, federalism, and protection of individual rights; and administrative law requirements for stakeholder participation, representation, transparency, privacy, due process and other democratic-constitutional values. The Handbook of Federal Leadership and Administration is a state-of-the art guide to the unique features of federal administration, informed by the latest theoretical developments, research, and practical applications, and the leadership and management of federal agencies. Written by "pracademics" with federal practitioners specifically in mind, the handbook is designed to bridge the gap between academic and applied public administration by identifying what resonates with practitioners as they search for usable theories and research findings to improve performance. Combining rigor and relevance in the study and practice of federal administration, it includes chapters on theory, history, reform initiatives, leadership, necessary skill sets, budgeting, power and influence, political embeddedness, change management, separated and shared executive, legislative, and judicial powers, effective communication, ethics, and emerging concepts and challenges. It will be essential reading for federal practitioners, scholars, and "pracademics" alike.

Download or read book Public Sector Employee Motivation written by Rebecca Bernstorff and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the millennial generation is beginning to dominate the workforce, organizations in the public sector are facing challenges in hiring new talent. With the competition of the private sector, the public sector must consider updating the current stale structure of public organizations as it relates to employee motivation and retention. Based on millennial characteristics, the current motivational tactics in the public sector may not be appealing as graduate students look towards career paths. By reviewing previous research and studies on the themes of public sector leadership, intrinsic and extrinsic rewards, the availability of employee resources and the generational adaptability in the workplace, assumptions can be drawn on what exactly motivates people to join the public sector and retain talent. By surveying populations of the general public, graduate students, and City employees, conclusions can be drawn on the impact of motivational factors in the public sector.
