Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book studies the federal personnel system in the United States, with a primary focus on how to maintain an efficient staff free from political influence. Historically, political patronage dominated the federal hiring system, leading to rampant inefficiency and corruption. To combat this, the Civil Service Reform Movement of the 1870s and '80s fought to replace political favoritism with merit-based hiring policies, an effort that resulted in the landmark Civil Service Act of 1883. This act established formal competitive examinations to replace political appointments in most government positions. However, the fight to minimize political influence in hiring continues. The author takes a critical look at this history, evaluating the successes and failures of the merit-based hiring system implemented in the late 19th century, and argues for a broadening of formal systems of selection to include all areas of the federal service. By providing a comprehensive analysis of the problems associated with political patronage and offering potential solutions, this book is an important resource for those seeking to understand how to achieve a more efficient and transparent government workforce. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
