Personnel Reform in the States
Trends in states’ civil service reforms since the Winter Commission’s report was published in 1993 are described and evaluated in the context of its recommendations. The authors argue that the commission’s reform agenda relies on a public service bargain that requires public employees, elected officials, and other stakeholders to respect, trust, and support each other’s efforts to serve the public interest. Its recommendations for modernizing sta…

Max Weber and US public administration
Compares and contrasts the writings of Max Weber and the US literature on public administration on the question of the appropriate role of the administrator in the political process. Examines the relevance of Weber’s analysis to the US experience. Concludes that Weber provides pertinent cautionary advice concerning the endorsement of an activist role for the administrator in political and policy processes.
Violence in the American Workplace
Among the many problems confronted by public as well as private employers are injuries resulting from occupational violent crime (OVC) or workplace violence.(1) OVC injury is defined as intentional battery, rape, or homicide during the course of employment. The available statistics on OVC in the United States reveal that it is a meaningful risk for many workers and that it may be more widespread and in its consequences than these data suggest. To…
The Constitution and Administrative Ethics in America
This essay explores the contributions of founding thought to current issues regarding administrative ethics. It is argued that the founders understood public administration to be a political enterprise and, therefore, public administrators should not be excluded from their analysis of citizen character. The U.S. Constitution anticipates that self-interest will be the dominant motive of citizens and governors, including public administrators. Howe…
Between Citizen and Administrator
For American public administration, the effort to legitimate administrative discretion and convincingly to integrate the exercise of that political power with democratic institutions and processes has been ongoing and closely associated with administrative ethics. In other words, the rise of the American administrative state has been accompanied by efforts to identify and to formulate rules for the wise and proper use of administrative discretion…
Self-Interest Properly Understood
This article explores the relationships among Founding thought, the American character, and public administration. It is argued that the Founders expected that individualism, acquisitiveness, and a concern for reputation would be major building blocks of the regime. Madison, Hamilton, and Tocqueville saw these traits as essential to the American democracy. Currently, aspects of public administration are under attack as endangering these citizen a…
Administrative Ethics and Founding Thought
The American regime] has its foundations in the willing use of human passions and interests, but it has also certain enduring excellences necessary to its fulfillment. Preserving that foundation and, at the same time, nurturing the appropriate excellences is the task of enlightened American citizenship and statesmanship. It is easy to fail; easy to indulge a preference for liberty that exults only in the free play of the passions and interests an…
Implementing Performance Appraisal Reform in the United States Civil Service
The 1978 US Civil Service Reform Act required federal agencies to design and implement new performance appraisal systems. The CSRA intends that these reformed systems produce accurate ratings which may be used as the basis for a wide variety of personnel actions, including decisions regarding pay, promotion, and retention. In this article, we describe and analyze the responses of civilian employees at four Navy research and development laboratori…
CSRA Performance Appraisals and Merit Pay
Anecdote: An SES member's own plan included an objective to ensure there was improved performance in a major processing office by the end of the year. A more specific version of that objective was put into the plan of the subordinate who headed that dffice. The targeted reduction in processing errors was met. Satisfied, the individuals involved decided it was not necessary to repeat some version of that objective the next two consecutive years. Y…
Some Questionable Assumptions
Taming Techniques for Public Purposes
Attitudes of Federal Employees toward Performance Appraisal and Merit Pay
A basic assumption underlying the merit pay and performance appraisal provisions of the 1978 Civil Service Reform Act is that most federal employees agree with the position taken by Alan K. Campbell when he said that implementation will be, . . of direct benefit to the vast majority of federal workers who do their job well and want to be judged on the basis of their performance.' A major facet of the legislation is its emphasis on the development…
