The readings in this volume will enlighten and enliven the contents of any standard public administration text covering human resource management. Selected mainly from the pages of Public Administration Review and Review of Public Personnel Administration, these classic articles trace the historical and evolutionary development of the fields of public personnel administration and labor relations from the point at which the first civil service law was passed - the Pendelton Act in 1883 - through the 21st century. The collection covers everything from the seminal concerns of civil service (e.g., keeping spoils out) to topics that early reformers would never have envisioned (e.g., affirmative action and drug testing). These works continue to inform the theory and practice of public personnel and labor relations. To facilitate an instructor's ability to assign readings that illuminate lectures and course material, a correlation matrix on the M.E. Sharpe website shows how this book can be used easily alongside eight leading textbooks.

Research has shown that adult learners prefer a problem solving approach to learning rather than subject centered. This text provides a non-traditional approach to teaching and learning the basics of human resource management through a series of 120 'in-basket' exercises and guided questions. The in-basket exercises focus on real-life problems and issues that confront school administrators on a daily basis. As a result, it scores very high in student interest and satisfaction. A brief history of assessment centers and a synopsis of recognized adult learning theories are also included. Covering 12 HR categories, the exercises are devoted to: recruitment; legal/policy; selection/credentials; collective bargaining; data analysis/budgeting; investigations; employee relations/public relations/counseling; evaluation; contract administration; discipline; planning/problem solving; and grievance(s)/arbitration.
