Download or read book The Marketization of Employment Services written by Ian Greer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-23 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across Europe, market mechanisms are spreading into areas where they did not exist before. In public administration, market governance is displacing other ways of coordinating public services. In social policy, the welfare state is retreating from its historic task of protecting citizens from the discipline of the market. In industrial relations, labor and management are negotiating with an eye to competitiveness, often against new non-union market players. What is marketization, and what are its effects? This book uses employment services in Denmark, Germany, and Great Britain as a window to explore the rise of market mechanisms. Based on more than 100 interviews with funders, managers, front-line workers, and others, the authors discuss the internal workings of these markets and the organizations that provide the services. This book gives readers new tools to analyse market competition and its effects. It provides a new conceptualization of the markets themselves, the dilemmas and tradeoffs that they generate, and the differing services and workplaces that result. It is aimed at students and researchers in the applied fields of social policy, public administration, and employment relations and has important implications for comparative political economy and welfare states.

Download or read book The Public Sector as an Employer of Choice in Germany written by Luise Renneke and published by Springer Gabler. This book was released on 2024-11-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the public sector in Germany will likely increasingly face staffing problems in the coming years, this book approaches the topic of employer attractiveness within the German public sector from an internal perspective, focusing on current employees' turnover intentions. Using secondary survey data, ordinal logistic regression models are built to explore the influence of the social environment at the workplace, measured by the perception of a participative safety climate, in this context. Therefore, this paper takes its theoretical departure in value research, arguing that values serve as an underlying mechanism that informs behavioral intent and ultimately behavior. Drawing on a concept that has long floated at the periphery of turnover research, this project is largely exploratory in nature, but suggests that a social climate at work that is characterized by trust and support has a negative impact on turnover intentions in the German public sector. Age and employment status are found to not alter the effect, but it is likely mediated by job satisfaction. About the author Luise Renneke has been working as an academic assistant at the Chair of Public and Nonprofit Management at the University of Potsdam since completing her Master's degree. She is interested in human resource management issues within the public sector.
Download or read book Co production in the Public Sector written by Mariagrazia Fugini and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the various ways in which co-production can contribute to the creation, design, and delivery of public services, namely by engaging the expertise of users and their networks, by promoting public services that are better targeted and more responsive to users, by cutting costs against the background of austerity in public finance, by creating a synergy between government and civil society that will impact positively on social capital, and by addressing the challenges resulting from growing democratic and citizenship deficits. Particular attention is paid to local government and the health and social care sector. After definition of the concept of co-production, the critical issues which arise when public services are co-produced are discussed. Various experiences of co-production are presented and analyzed with a view to highlighting why, how, and with what effect public service co-production may be implemented. Individual chapters focus on the impact of co-production in making cities smarter and the use of ICT in supporting co-production of public services. The book will be of relevance to a wide readership, from students to academics and professionals interested or engaged in public service management.
Download or read book It s Time for High Performance Government written by Howard Risher and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-08-08 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership teams taking the reins of government in 2017 will have to overcome the demoralizing effects of years of budget deficits, a heavy loss of talent, frequent criticism, and mounting pressure to ‘do more with less,’ all of which have contributed to declining interest in public sector careers and deteriorating performance. Over the past twenty years there has been a widening gulf between the “people management” practices in the private and public sectors. Change is badly needed but it does not have to start by canceling existing civil service rules. This book argues for rethinking the way public employees are managed. The changes will contribute to a healthier, more productive work environment that once again enables public agencies to attract and motivate a highly qualified workforce. Written by leading experts with decades of experience as managers and consultants, It's Time for High Performance Government provides executives, managers, and elected officials at all levels practical advice to improve government performance.
