Abstract

Volgens velen liggen publieke professionals als politieagenten, rechters, artsen, verpleegkundigen en leraren onder vuur. De opkomst van het zogenoemde bedrijfsmanagement of 'managerialism' wordt hiervoor als hoofdoorzaak aangewezen. Professionals worden aangestuurd door zakelijke managers, ze worden beoordeeld aan de hand van prestatiesystemen die geen ruimte laten voor de niet-meetbare aspecten van hun beroep en hun vakmanschap wordt niet erkend. Op grond van theoretische en empirische inzichten in sectoren als de politie, zorg, onderwijs en welzijn laten auteurs uit binnen- en buitenland zien dat professioneel werk echter lang niet overal en altijd onder druk staat. Wel zorgen maatschappelijke veranderingen, zoals moderne technologie, ICT, complexe maatschappelijke opgaven, diffuse kennis en veeleisende burgers ervoor dat publieke dienstverlening van gedaante verandert. Professionals hebben veel mogelijkheden om veranderingen te doorstaan. Publieke professionals zullen hiervoor nieuwe vaardigheden moeten ontwikkelen, om de dienstverlening-onderdruk krachtig vorm te geven. Professionals hebben eigentijdse, vooral passende en werkbare standaarden nodig

Abstract

Public administration has traditionally been characterised with such bureaucratic features as hierarchical and formalised organisational structure, clear and rigid career paths, lifetime tenure, full-time employment, principle of seniority, advantageous pension schemes and rigid remuneration systems. These features were introduced in late 19th century to reduce the risk of excessive political influence, corruption, misconduct and instability of government. Today, however, numerous administrative and managerial reforms are affecting these longstanding aspects of public employment. Size and comp

Abstract

This is the first time that indigenous Papuan administrators share with an international public their experiences governing their country. These administrators were the brokers of development. After graduating from the School for Indigenous Administrators (OSIBA) they served in the Dutch administration until 1962. The period 1962-1969 stands out as turbulent and dangerous, and for many curtailed their professional careers. These administrators' having been in active service until their retirement in the early 1990s allows for a complete recounting of political and administrative transformations under the Indonesian governance of Irian Jaya/Papua.This book brings together 17 oral histories of the everyday life of Papuan civil servants, including their relationships with superiors and colleagues, the murder of a Dutch administrator, their translation of 'development' to the Papuan people, the organization of their first democratic institutions, and the actual political and economic conditions leading up to the so-called Act of Free Choice. Finally, they share their experiences in the UNTEA and Indonesian government organization.Leontine Visser is Professor of Development Anthropology at Wageningen University. Her research focuses on governance and natural resources management in eastern Indonesia.

Abstract

Drawing on the field of cultural historical psychology and the sociologies of skill and labour process, Contested Learning in Welfare Work offers a detailed account of the learning lives of state welfare workers in Canada as they cope, accommodate, resist and flounder in times of heightened austerity. Documented through in-depth qualitative and quantitative analysis, Peter Sawchuk shows how the labour process changes workers, and how workers change the labour process, under the pressures of intensified economic conditions, new technologies, changing relations of space and time, and a high-tech version of Taylorism. Sawchuk traces these experiences over a seven-year period that includes major work reorganisation and the recent economic downturn. His analysis examines the dynamics between notions of de-skilling, re-skilling and up-skilling, as workers negotiate occupational learning and changing identities.

Abstract

We quantify the extent to which public-sector employment crowds out private-sector employment using specially assembled datasets for a large cross-section of developing and advanced countries, and discuss the implications for countries in the Middle East, North Africa, Caucasus and Central Asia. These countries simultaneously display high unemployment rates, low private-sector employment rates and high proportions of government-sector employment. Regressions of either private-sector employment rates or unemployment rates on two measures of public-sector employment point to full crowding out. This means that high rates of public employment, which incur substantial fiscal costs, have a large negative impact on private employment rates and do not reduce overall unemployment rates.
