Answer to Question #272419 in Management for Haziran

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

1. Recruiting is a rational process:

Manpower planning, recruitment, selection, induction, appraisal, training, and personnel maintenance are the many logical procedures to be followed in staffing. The function of staffing is one of management.

2. Staffing addresses both current and future needs: Changes in the workforce occur often as a result of retirements, resignations, fatalities, terminations, and other factors. As a result, staffing is concerned not only with the present but also with the future.

Numerous adjustments have been made to replace vast hierarchical bureaucracies with market-based economic theories on consumer-driven managerialism. TPA centralized power distribution, but NPM provides electricity to companies dispersed. I'll look at public administration and new public management briefly in the following sections. Then, using various dimensions, compare the TPA and the NPM.
