Human Resources Management for Public and Nonprofit Organizations / Essential Texts for Nonprofit and Public Leadership and Management (ePub)

Since the first edition was published in 1997, Human
Resources Management for Public and Nonprofit Organizations has
become the go-to reference for public and nonprofit human resources
professionals. Now in its fourth edition, the text has been
significantly revised and updated to include information that
reflects changes in the field due to the economic crisis, changes
in federal employment laws, how shifting demographics affect human
resources management, the increased use of technology in human
resources management practices, how social media has become
embedded in the workplace, and new approaches to HRM policy and
practice.
