Download or read book Downsizing the Federal Government written by Vernon D Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main focus of downsizing has shifted from the private to the public sector. The cutbacks began in the Department of Defense. Now the goal is a federal civilian workforce reduction of 12 percent by the year 2000. This pioneering study looks at the management of workforce reductions in the public sector both in theory and in practice. Three case studies -- of the Defense Logistics Agency, the Bureau of Reclamation, and the Food and Drug Administration -- illustrate the organizational, managerial, and human dimensions of attempting to improve performance with reduced resources. The author draws on extensive interviews with senior executives and middle managers in the three agencies; at the General Accounting Office, the Office of Personnel Management, and the National Performance Review; the Senior Executives Association and the Federal Managers Association; and scholars and researchers. In a larger sense, this work pushes the boundaries of knowledge concerning organizational change and makes a significant contribution to organization theory. It offers important new insights not only for public sector managers but for organization theorists and management specialists whose work on downsizing has been presumed but not shown to be applicable to the public sector.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its continuing efforts to control costs, the federal government has repeatedly targeted its civilian workforce of approximately 2 million people for reduction. From the beginning of his administration, President Clinton made employment cuts a priority. In Executive Order 12839 of February 10, 1993, the President instructed agencies to cut employment by 100,000, representing a reduction of about 5 percent from the levels at that time. The National Performance Review recommended reform in personnel, procurement, and other federal management activities that it argued would permit additional cuts in employment totaling around 150,000. Building on those initiatives, the Federal Workforce Restructuring Act of 1994 set limits on employment that would reduce the government's civilian workforce through 1999 by more than 250,000. The legislative branch has not escaped such efforts either. The new Republican majority in the Congress has made reducing employment in that branch of government one of its priorities. By almost any measure, the trend in federal civilian employment is down.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Despite growing citizen dissatisfaction with the cost and performance of the Federal government, Washington often crafts costly solutions in search of a problem. Too often the focus has been on creating new programs instead of eliminating or reforming programs which are no longer operating effectively. The result has been too many overlapping and outdated programs, rules, and processes, and too many Federal employees stuck in a system that is not working for the American people. Through the actions described below, President Trump aims to make government lean, accountable, and more efficient"--Purpose and scope

Download or read book The Public Economy in Crisis written by June A. Sekera and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-04 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Brief proposes a new theory of public economics which deemphasizes reliance on the free market and affirms the importance of public goods and services within the context of the democratic process and constitutional governance. Public non-market production makes up from a quarter to more than half of all economic activity in advanced democratic nation-states. Yet by imposing market precepts on the public domain, as mainstream economics, political science, and public administration do, public governing capacity is weakened and the democratic system suffers. Agencies originally created to meet public needs are being warped into entities whose purpose is to generate revenue and, in some cases, deliver private profits at public expense. Drawing on classic public finance literature, this book illustrates the differences between public economy and the market model and why those differences matter. Building on this, the Brief sketches the elements of a new theory of the public non-market and illuminates its connections to the delegation of power and collective provision of resources from the polity. This book will be useful to scholars of public economics, political science, and public administration as well as policy makers and those working in the public sector.
