Answer to Question #272324 in Management for Shasha

Question

Discuss and explain two characteristics/features of staffing (e.g. recruitment, promotion, tenure, etc.) and explain and compare how these were handled under TPA vs. NPM, what is the rationale for the practice (i.e. why this aspect of staffing is in place/handled this way under TPA vs. NPM), and explain how the NPM features that you chose are a response to TPA (i.e. what critique of TPA are they addressing).

Answer 1

Non Temporality

Staffing is a continuous process.

Complexity

Since an entity consists of systems and subsytems, this makes staffing complex.

Under TPA staffing followed rules and regulations and this led to bureaucracy but under NPM professionals were hired to deal with the bureaucratic approach of the TPA.
