New Transformations and Challenges for Human Resource Management in the Public Sector

Abstract:

The main idea of public management is that management methods in the private sector are superior to those in the public sector and can be borrowed. The public sector is considered less innovative, overly bureaucratic, rigid, expensive and too centralized. Increasing the performance of human resources in the public sector is still the subject of extensive debate and study. The modernization of the administration must be guided at all times by the need for good management of the money coming from the contributions and efforts of citizens, by increasing the effective accountability of its organizations and by decentralizing services, measures that can contribute to the implementation of modern management, which can encourage the necessary effort to adapt the public sector. This empirical research aims to identify and analyze new transformations and challenges for human resource management in the public sector compared to private organizations. The comparative analysis of human resources in the public and private sectors is based on the thorough analysis of the literature and identifies the differences in organization and management of staff in the two types of organizations.
