"Changing Public Sector Values has 7 captured the essence of the
'new public administration' movement...a first-rate book that is
accessible to both scholars and students". -- Stuart C. Gilman,
Georgetown University
"The breadth of Van Wart's treatment of public sector values is
truly impressive. He takes 'values, ' an abstraction often thrown
into discourse with little connection to concrete reality, and
shows how it is fundamentally embedded in public organizations and
management. Van Wart examines individual, professional,
organizational, legal, and public interest values, lucidity linking
them to analysis and decision making. The result is a rich volume
that offers the reader comprehensive and useful insights". -- Terry
L. Cooper, University of Southern California
Managing values is an organizational priority of the highest
order. Ethics are derived from values, and organizational leaders
and managers have a responsibility to clarify values, support
values consensus, and monitor compliance. Giving all major schools
of thought equal coverage, this volume examines values from the
individual administrator's perspective, from the cultural
framework, and from the functional standpoint. Designed to be is
useful to both students and practitioners, the book presents
examples drawn from all levels of government, with emphasis on such
current topics as downsizing, withdrawing tenure, management
reductions, organizational redesign, job restructuring, service
provision shifts, privatization, and internal competition.
