First published in 1976. This study is perhaps the most
comprehensive, objective, and accurate analysis to date of the
State Department's Foreign Service personnel system. Largely based
on in-depth interviews of 330 Foreign Service officers ranging in
rank from career minister to newly appointed officer, and
extensively documented, the book examines the needs of the Foreign
Service organization and its personnel and presents an analysis of
the policies and procedures according to which it operates. Areas
covered include recruitment, training, assignments, performance
evaluation, promotions, and attrition. Also discussed in detail is
the structure and functioning of the informal system of rules and
regulations developed by Foreign Service officers; individuals use
this system-which is outside of the prescribed channels--in
attempting to influence their career development. Despite its
specialized orientation, the study utilizes a methodology that can
be applied to any large organization.
