This book was released on 2007 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Calls for reform of the public service are routinely heard from politicians, private sector interests, civil society organisations and public servants themselves. Public service reform programmes have become the norm in many countries, including Ireland. But the overheated rhetoric that usually accompanies the launch of such programmes is often rapidly followed by the disappointment of unfulfilled ambition and apparent failure." "This book looks at the realities of public service reform in Ireland today. It begins with the conviction that reform is an ongoing process of adaptation to the rapidly changing requirements of society, rather than anything that can be captured in a once-off programme. It recognises the achievements of recent reform efforts, and it sets out some key elements that the authors believe should be part of the next phase of reform. In particular it identifies specific actions that are needed to improve accountability for performance, to adapt organisational structures to contemporary needs, and to put in place the vital leadership capability. The authors recognise that other actions will also be required in the short term, and that the process of adaptation will rapidly move on to other challenges, but they insist that the next phase of reform must, as a priority, address at least these three areas." "The book draws on management theory, international best practice and, not least, the authors' own experience at the frontline of public service delivery. Its proposals are practical and immediate, but are also well grounded in a vision of a high-performance public service that can meet the most demanding expectations of today's citizens."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Rewards for High Public Office in Europe and North America written by Marleen Brans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone observing the recent scandals in the United Kingdom could not fail to understand the political importance of the rewards of high public office. The British experience has been extreme but by no means unique, and many countries have experienced political over the pay and perquisites of public officials. This book addresses an important element of public governance, and does so in longitudinal and comparative manner. The approach enables the contributors to make a number of key statements not only about the development of political systems but also about the differences among those systems. It provides a unique and systematic investigation of both formal and informal rewards for working in high-level positions in the public sector, and seeks to determine the impacts of the choices of reward structures. Covering 14 countries and drawing on a wide range of data sources, this work will be of great interest to students and scholars of comparative public administration, international politics and government.

Download or read book Meta Analysis for Public Management and Policy written by Evan Ringquist and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-01-09 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meta-Analysis for Public Management and Policy is a groundbreaking book that includes a proven set of tools for making sense of mountains of sometimes inconsistent conclusions from original research. The tools of meta-analysis can help to improve scholarship, ensure more accurate tests of theories, provide clearer and more authoritative advice for policy and management, and ultimately contribute to the wider knowledge base of public management and policy and the social sciences more broadly. This important resource contains an in-depth explanation of the six-stage process for conducting a meta-analysis which consists of Scoping, Literature Search, Data Coding, Calculating and Combining Effect Sizes, Explaining Differences in Effect Sizes Across Original Studies, and Identifying Areas for Further Research. The text includes detailed explanations of the statistical approaches to meta-analysis that have been found to be most useful to researchers and practitioners in public management and policy, and offers four original meta-analyses of school vouchers, performance measurement, public housing decentralization, and public service motivation. These original studies (conducted by the author and his team) offer step-by-step templates for how to conduct a meta-analysis while also contributing original research on important issues in public management and policy. Meta-Analysis for Public Management and Policy is the hands-on resource that can help students and professionals improve the quality and the relevance of research in public management and policy.
