This book was released on 2012 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation addresses the impact of public service motivation on the turnover intentions of federal employees. A survey measuring four types of public service motivation--attraction to policy-making, compassion, public interest, and self sacrifice--along with several traditional predictors of employee turnover was distributed to a random sample of 1,600 federal employees. The findings demonstrate significant relationships between turnover intentions and the traditional predictors of turnover but fail to demonstrate significant direct relationships between the measures of public service motivation and turnover intentions. However, the measures of public service motivation appear to indirectly affect turnover intentions through their relationship with organization commitment. The dissertation suggests that a larger and more diverse sample of federal employees might yield different findings, as would a study that investigates the turnover intentions of state and local government workers who have more direct contact with the general public and the clientele of their public agencies. The dissertation further suggests that future research might investigate the impact on turnover intentions of the interaction between public service motivation and the degree to which employees' jobs allow them to fulfill their public service motivation. Retention of employees will save government agencies money, resources, and knowledge talent. However, given its methodological limitations, this dissertation reveals that four popular forms of public service motivation do not predict federal employees' intentions to turnover. Instead, organization commitment, job satisfaction, and person-organization fit--three traditional predictors of employee turnover--are better predictors of federal employee turnover intentions.
Download or read book Employee Turnover in the Public Sector written by Oscar Miller, Jr. and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this title, first published in 1996, the author uses the locus of control personality construct to show how workers who believe they can influence life events (internals) perceive and evaluate work conditions differently than workers who believe that life events are beyond their control (externals). The author also develops a social exchange model of quitting which takes advantage of the positive (job reward) and negative (job cost) qualities inherent in work conditions. Workers tend to quit their jobs when job costs outweigh job rewards when better alternatives exist. Moreover, personality interacts with employees’ evaluation of job costs and rewards and quitting behaviour. This book will be of interest to students of business studies and human resource management.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Federal Government is attempting reforms and recruitment strategies to combat a two-part demographic challenge, the aging federal workforce and a more competitive market for younger employees. While many of these efforts focus on mimicking strategies from the private sector, a growing field of evidence in public management studies highlights the value of uniquely public sector principles that could help recruitment, retention, and performance. In particular, there is evidence from studies of state and local government organizations that employees’ sense of mission is linked to greater satisfaction and organizational commitment. However, this relationship has not been tested for the Federal Government population that has a wide range of sectors of public work. This study tested the promising findings about mission and its relationship to organizational commitment within the Federal Government and, for a narrower focus, the subset of Department of Defense civilian employees. To achieve this, this study uses the 2019 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, which is a workplace survey administered annually to federal workers. The results of this study indicate that federal employees who do not perceive how their work contributes to mission are more likely to intend to leave the Federal Government. Beyond mission, the results support evidence from other studies that employee engagement and fairness in pay are relevant factors for employee commitment. This study makes a notable link of the importance of mission to the Federal Government population that could be a useful tool for federal managers to retain committed employees, the bedrock for administering many other federal policies and programs.

Over the years, the public sector has witnessed a high turnover rate of their employees, which, in turn has affected productivity. Strategies on how to keep employees committed to their work has therefore become a challenge. The current literature indicates that many factors that affect public sector employee's intention to stay. However, the present study attempts to find out the various factors affecting employee retention. Questionnaires will be sent to various government agencies for employees to answer. The research will look closely at the broad factors as determinants for employee retention. More specifically, it will look at career advancement and developmental opportunities at the local level of government, and provide insight regarding the main motivators for an employee's desire to stay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper proposes and tests a detailed model of turnover intention on a large sample of State of Texas employees. The paper focuses attention on three particular theoretical issues. First, the results offer support for a life-cycle stability hypothesis, which suggests that age, experience, and geographic living preferences foster a reluctance to change jobs, a reluctance which is compounded by economic/familial constraints for primary wage earners and members of large households. Second, the results show that females are significantly less likely to state an intention to quit, a finding running counter to previous research. We argue that this finding reflects changing patterns of female labor force participation, and the particular advantages that the public sector offers to female employees. Third, the results allow us to distinguish between the relative contributions of three potentially overlapping concepts: organizational loyalty, voice and empowerment, and find that while organizational loyalty and empowerment reduce intent to quit, voice is not a significant predictor of turnover intention. In addition to these findings, the paper provides a detailed test of different human resource management policies, and provides particular support for diversity policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do political appointees try to gain control of the Washington bureaucracy? How do high-ranking career bureaucrats try to ensure administrative continuity? The answers are sought in this analysis of the relations between appointees and bureaucrats that uses the participants' own words to describe the imperatives they face and the strategies they adopt. Shifting attention away form the well-publicized actions of the President, High Heclo reveals the little-known everyday problems of executive leadership faced by hundreds of appointees throughout the executive branch. But he also makes clear why bureaucrats must deal cautiously with political appointees and with a civil service system that offers few protections for broad-based careers of professional public service. The author contends that even as political leadership has become increasingly bureaucratized, the bureaucracy has become more politicized. Political executives—usually ill-prepared to deal effectively with the bureaucracy—often fail to recognize that the real power of the bureaucracy is not its capacity for disobedience or sabotage but its power to withhold services. Statecraft for political executives consists of getting the changes they want without losing the bureaucratic services they need. Heclo argues further that political executives, government careerists, and the public as well are poorly served by present arrangements for top-level government personnel. In his view, the deficiencies in executive politics will grow worse in the future. Thus he proposes changes that would institute more competent management of presidential appointments, reorganize the administration of the civil service personnel system, and create a new Federal Service of public managers.

Book excerpt: 'An impressive collection of authoritative treatments of major current and ongoing topics in public sector human resource management, provided by both well-established experts and up-and-coming scholars who are becoming leaders in the field. A valuable resource for courses on the topic and an important reference for scholars and those seeking to maintain expert knowledge about it.' – Hal G. Rainey, The University of Georgia, US This insightful book presents current thinking and research evidence on the role of human resource management policies and practices in increasing service quality, efficiency and organizational effectiveness in the public sector. Internationally, public sector organisations face enormous challenges, including increasingly uncertain political and economic environments, more vigilant and cost-conscious governments, rapidly evolving community needs and an ageing workforce. This collection examines a range of HRM-related topics that will influence the capacity of public sector agencies to negotiate and respond to the challenges ahead. These topics include managing public sector human resources during an economic downturn, enhancing the satisfaction and motivation of public sector employees, attracting and retaining talent, leadership development, and case studies in successful public sector organizational change. With each chapter drawing on the latest research, but also emphasizing the practical implications, this collection is suitable for practitioners, researchers and students alike. It will also be valuable for HR specialists and managers of HR units in the public sector.
