Notes

【Course Objectives】

For managers and policymakers intending to specialize in one or more fields of human resource management, this course will serve as a foundation and help you understand the ways in which public human resource management impacts the development and delivery of government programs and services through person management. Throughout this course, we will engage in a collective analysis to 1) understand and recognize the historical development of public personnel management, 2) identify the unique resources and challenges that managers face in managing public human resources in the system of politics, bureaucracy, and democracy, and 3) recognize and discuss different human resource management cases which students will bring to the table to provide opportunities to deal with a variety of issues related to managing public employees.
The course is taught from the perspective that students will one day be stakeholders involved in some aspects of managing organizational change in the public sector, whether as employees, managers, or internal or external consultants for organizational clients.

【Course Contents】

As a labor-intensive enterprise, human resources are key to the effective and efficient operations of public organizations. From a managerial perspective, we will discuss the resources, challenges, and strategies for the personnel functions of recruitment, selection, job classification, training and development, motivation and compensation, performance evaluation, managing diversity, and organizational culture under public organizational systems, and the use of technology in these HR functions.

Unlike a private enterprise aiming to maximize individual or organizational interest, the government is to serve public or societal values such that the practices and principles of human resource management (HRM) may exhibit different features from their sectoral counterparts. More specifically, we will discuss the role of politics, bureaucracy, and democracy in helping to shape public personnel policies, and how they utilize the Constitution as a legal framework and conduit for maintaining tradition and exercising the capacity to change.

Half of the course will be theoretical in nature; therefore, we will discuss concepts and theories related to human resource management in general. Another half of the course is dedicated to the application of the concepts and theories to different cases of HRM issues such as designing recruitment advertisements, merit versus equality, validity of performance evaluation, generational differences and changing values of the workplace, using artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor employees, and others. Towards the end of the semester, students bring their own human resource-related issues and present the issue in the class, applying the theoretical framework to better understand and analyze.

These are NOT required textbooks, although the first book (Berman et al., 2020) can be the most relevant book that you can refer to for a better understanding of the concepts and discussion we have in class. Students can use the previous edition - 5th - or the newer edition - 7th - depending on the students' needs and resources. The second textbook is the undergraduate level management book you can also refer to if the first textbook is challenging.
