SPCN-M 561 Public Human Resources Management

Course Description

In the past, public personnel management has been referred to as the “triumph of technique over purpose.” Recently, however, a strategic approach to human resource management has emerged that considers all managers human resource managers—all managers need to be concerned with the concepts and techniques needed to carry out the people or personnel aspects of one's management job. This course attempts to provide a theoretical and strategic framework for understanding the management and operation of personnel systems in public work environments.
