The latest addition to the highly acclaimed Routledge Masters in Public Management series, Human Resource Management in Public Service Organizations, is a groundbreaking work that fills a crucial gap in the literature available to practitioners and scholars of public sector management. The widespread adoption of private sector human resource management (HRM) techniques within the public sectors of various countries has emerged as a result of public choice theory, which posits that government is inefficient and non-responsive. In their comprehensive book, Beattie and Waterhouse expertly blend practical HRM techniques with a focus on the unique challenges and opportunities of the public sector.

The authors delve into the various components of HRM and explore how they can be applied effectively in a public sector environment. They address key debates surrounding the benefits of HRM in the public sector, particularly in light of the sector's distinctiveness. The book critically evaluates the interplay between HRM and the evolving context of public management, highlighting the importance of adapting HR practices to meet the changing needs of the public sector.

Furthermore, the authors examine critically the interaction between HRM and public and voluntary sector values, emphasizing the need for HR professionals to align their practices with the broader social and ethical responsibilities of the public sector. Human Resource Management in Public Service Organizations aims to equip public sector managers and students of public management with the essential skills and knowledge required to manage their human resources more efficiently and effectively. By providing a comprehensive and insightful examination of HRM in the public sector, this book is a valuable resource for practitioners, policymakers, and scholars alike.
