Municipal officials and employees -- Management, Government, Law, Political science, Company business management, Management
Abstract

Is the same 'quiet crisis' documented at higher government levels taking place in local public service?

Like higher levels, however, accommodating workplace diversity is a continuing challenge. The study concludes that local personnel systems deserve more systematic study., In recent years, the public administration community and political leadership have expressed increasing concern that the conditions and status of public service are declining. It has been called a 'quiet [...]
