Scientific Management Period (1906-1937)

How do we treat our folks? During this era, we treated civil service like they were tools. Accountability and promote standardization. We didn't treat people like people, more as an object. Passage of the Classification Act of 1923 - grading, scoring, performance eval. Trade jobs (entry level), military, civil service, law enforcement, first responders, teaching up to middle school. " For 31 years we looked at people as just what they do and how to get there the quickest and cheapest AL ______________________________________ Government by the Efficient: Scientific Management Per. - Frederick Taylor (1911): "One Best Way" (Father of SM) • People viewed as extensions of their tools and machines • Believed in division of labor, hierarchy, political neutrality, standardization, and accountability • "The Principles of Scientific Management": Increase output by fastest, most efficient, and least fatiguing production methods - Luther Gulick (1937): POSDCORB • "Scientific Principles of Administration": Planning, organizing, staffing, directing, coordinating, reporting, and budgeting _____________________________________ BOOK NOTES: Scientific inquiry was viewed as a means for improving the operations of public service. -Empirical observation was viewed as an indispendable tool for improving merit based, non partisan public service. -was predicated upon the principles of turn-of-the-century organization theory. The tenets assumed a "one best way" for organizing based on systematic scientific inquiry, with efficiency as the overarching criterion. Before the Industrial Revolution, work practices were based on apprenticeships and learning a trade by doing it. Scientific management took issue with these practices as inexact and based on estimation. In contrast, scientific management adopted factual, analytical approaches to back up intuitive reasoning with evidentiary support. Battaglio (p. 28-29).

"25-50-25 rule" (also known as 80/20 rule):

o 20-25% of your folks are already motivated o 50% fence sitters 25% withdrawn or cynical o sometimes there is nothing you can do to motivate them. Collective bargaining does help those who aren't comfortable in speaking up but the drawback is too much of the above rules. AL ____________________________ - 25% are highly motivated - 50% are fence-sitters - 25% are withdrawn or cynical

Privacy in the Workplace Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) of 1986

" Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 protects email privacy (requires warrant or subpoena if after 180 days); however, USA Patriot Act of 2001 has weakened protections. " FOIA and UIPA also reduce email privacy AL ________________________________ • Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 protects email privacy (requires warrant or subpoena if after 180 days); however, USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 has weakened this protection • Freedom of Information Act and Hawaii Unifterm-36orm Information Practice Act also reduces email privacy ___________________________ BOOK NOTES: regulates the protection of federal employee communications, in particular those stored in computers.

Government by Reform: Managerial (1978-Present)

**2nd Piece of legislation Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (Pendleton 2.0) - REFORM PERIOD #2 Split responsibilities of Civil Service Commission into two separate organizations -Office of Personnel Management (OPM) -Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) - police of OPM/HR function *Increase in merit principles (three to nine merit principles) *Creation of Sr. Executive Service -Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 - creation of new rank. SES =highest rank. Now there are standards for qualifications. *Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 allowed for Collective bargaining and some HR decision making to be passed down to the manager. *Merit pay, not just COLA, if you did your job you got an extra bit of pay at the end of the year. If you performed well, you were eligible for a merit pay. 80% doesn't improve, at least we can reward the 20% that does all the work. - Collective Bargaining, everyone is treated the same. AL ________________________________ Government by Reform: Managerial Period (aka Second Reform Period or Pendleton Act 2.0) - New reform movement focused on management, accountability, and performance - Passage of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 • Abolished Civil Service Commission and split into two units: - Office of Personnel Management (OPM) - Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) • Nine Merit Principles (vice Three Merit Principles in Pendleton) - 1) Open recruitment and competitive examinations, 2) fair and equitable treatment, 3) equal pay for equal work, 4) high standards of integrity, conduct, and concern, 5) effective and efficient workforce, 6) retention based on performance, 7) provided effective training and education, 8) political neutrality & 9) protection against whistle-blowing ____________________________ BOOK NOTES: The Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 marked the beginning of the current reform era of PHRM, effecting a reorganization of the civil service system and increased managerial flexibility. Functions such as planning, hiring, development, and discipline—typically centralized processes common to most levels of government—have been challenged by the current wave of reforms; they are now seen as civil service practices emblematic of bureaucratic inflexibility, inefficiency, and ineffectiveness. Battaglio (p. 5). -The benchmark of the era—the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978—ushered in a new era of public personnel that emphasized the management of public service, placing a greater emphasis on accountability and performance. -abolished Civil Service Commission, replaced w/ Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and Merit System Protection Board (MSPB). -managerial aspect of staffing and directing federal personnel relegated to OPM, with lines of supervision to the president. -MSPB = policing arm of personnel system, investigating and adjudicating employee grievances. -Splitting Civil Service Commission into two entities = means for pursuing the often incompatible values of efficiency and representation. -OPM would be headed by the president's appointed director and tasked with the efficiency directives previously under the Civil Service Commission—personnel management, appraisal and evaluation, and executive authority over the bureaucracy -MSPB would be a bipartisan "watchdog" of the federal civil service system, ensuring public service was run on a merit basis. Within the MSPB, the Office of Special Counsel was authorized to investigate abuses such as engaging in politics, discrimination, and suppression of information. MSPB would be responsible for investigating "whistle-blowing," protecting informants and investigating abuses. Battaglio (pp. 36-37).

Contemporary Theory (1): Victor Vroom: "Expectancy Theory"

"Expectancy Theory": Economist. Says that motivation is based on 3 things: Effort a person puts in to work and if they do this work they have an expectation to receive an award and what is the value perceived by that person. Based on those 3 things will determine how much motivation of the person. Best way is to figure out what the award is of value in order to motivate and get that effort put forth. - reserved parking. - time off of work (comp time) AL ___________________________ - Motivation is a result of a rational calculation based on effort, performance, and value of the reward - Motivation = (E) x (I) x (V) • E = Expectancy (probability that work effort will be followed by performance accomplishments) • I = Instrumentality (probability that performance will lead to various reward outcomes) • V = Valence (value of the reward to the individual) • Motivation can be enhanced by choosing rewards that are of value to the worker

Contemporary Theory: Edwin Locke and Gary Latham: "Goal Setting Theory"

"Goal Theory" - employee that is motivated by achieving a goal, that may be a way to positively reinforce and keep them motivated. Manager has to provide constant feedback to monitor progress. AL ____________________________ - Goals must be specific and challenging - People must feel committed to the goal - Feedback is essential so people can monitor progress towards goal attainment

Classics Theory (1): Abraham Maslow: "Hierarchy of Needs"

"Hierarchy of Needs" - First theory ever created. How do you motivate your employees? (percentage = number happy with step 2 and above included). He says everyone can follow this (premise 1). Have to go in order from the bottom to the top (premise 2). Step 1 provide physiological needs (10%) -pay them, comfortable in workplace (Heat/ac) Step 2 Safety Needs (15%): Safe workplace - Following OSHA guidelines and laws for workplace safety. Provide benefits (Medical, life insurance) and job security. Step 3 (43%) Social Needs: Have to like your boss and the people you work with. Work groups, clients, coworkers, supervisors. Desire to go to work and be around your coworkers and do good. Step 4 Esteem Needs (30%): Recognition, status, increased responsibilities. Plaques, awards, recognition ceremonies, newsletters. Step 5 Self Actualization needs (2%): Opportunities for training advancement, growth and creativity. Selection for cool training opportunities. Highest of the high. AL ______________________ Workers must achieve each level before going to next higher level

Adult Life Stage Theory Richard Schott: "Life Cycle Theory"

"Life Cycle Theory" What you want now is going to be different than what you want 20 years from now. Lot of variation. Married-no married/ kids-no kids/job-pension. Change jobs because of elder care. AL ______________________ - Early adulthood (20s) vs. - Middle life (30s/40s) vs. - Later life (50s/60s)

Reward Theory Burrhus Skinner: "Operant Conditioning Theory"

"Operant Conditioning Theory" Positive reinforcement - giving positive rewards. Rewards don't have to be money just need to find what motivates them: recognition, access, responsibility, awards and praise. AL _________________________ - Reinforcement • Positive - Give a positive reward • Negative - Remove a negative consequence - Punishment • Consequences that reduce likelihood of a behavior being repeated • Least successful approach to reinforcing behaviors - Extinction • Removal of previously valued consequence, and desired behavior disappears • Rewards don't have to be monetary - Recognition, access, responsibility, awards, and praise

Civil Rights: Religion Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: Johnson

"Reinventing Government": New Federal Movement

"Reinventing Government" - New Federal Movement 1993 reform movement - Clinton, National Performance Review (NPR) 1. remove red tape (more efficient) 2. Put customers first (publicity) 3. Empower employees to achieve results (performance based) 4. Better government for less (downsizing) Bush: Focused on human capital and competitive sourcing - Contract out. Obama: Focused on efficiency and employee wellness Major piece of legislation on rapid hiring veterans AL ________________________________ Federal Level - Clinton: National Performance Review (NPR) of 1993 (aka "Reinventing Government") • Attempted new reform movement: 1) cut red tape (more efficient), 2) put customers first (publicity), 3) empower employees to achieve results (performance-based), and 4) better government for less (downsizing) - Bush: Focused on human capital and competitive sourcing • Cut red tape (Freedom to Manage Initiative and Managerial Flexibility Act of 2001); overhaul of SES pay; performance-based contracting; number of political appointees; less collective bargaining; competitive sourcing (less government) - Obama: Focused on efficiency and employee wellness • Rapid hiring process (especially for Veterans); Work-Life initiative (wellness programs); Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE) (results-oriented but employee flexibility) ______________________ BOOK NOTES: The intent of the NPR reforms was to transfer greater authority over the machinery of government from Congress to the executive branch. The chief executive and his or her appointments were viewed as an indispensable means for empowering civil servants, particularly through the executive-controlled OPM. If political considerations were removed and civil servants were freed from congressional red tape and oversight, it was argued, service provision would greatly improve. -"Bush Management Agenda," furthered practices as part of larger national security legislation targeting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Department of Defense (DOD). The Homeland Security Act of 2002 and the National Security Personnel System (part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004) provided DHS and DOD greater discretion over agency personnel matters (Brook and King 2008), providing for increased use of performance-related pay systems, greater managerial flexibility vis-à-vis labor relations, and greater agency-specific authorization to design and operate personnel systems (Brook and King 2008, 215). Brook and King (2008) contended that personnel reform at DHS and DOD "represent[s] the largest and most visible granting of agency discretion to date" Battaglio (pp. 38-39).

Classics Theory (2): Douglas McGregor: "Theory X vs Theory Y"

"Theory X vs Theory Y": Well-known. Focus on Theory Y Assumptions Theory X is only working to meet the physical need. Theory Y: People are willing to work and autonomously. If given a project, their willing to be creative and come up with solutions. Presented in a different way. AL ________________________________ Assumptions: Theory X (Scientific Management Period) • People dislike work and will avoid if possible • People prefer continuous direction and must be threatened with punishment to put forth effort • People exercise little or no creativity in solving org' problems • People prefer to be led, avoid responsibility, has little ambition, and wants security above all - Assumptions: Theory Y (Behavioralism Period) • People are willing to work • Under right conditions, people will accept and seek responsibility • Capable of self-direction and self-control in achieving org' goals • Capable of creativity, imagination, and ingenuity to org' problems • Commitment to objectives is a function of rewards associated with their achievement • Motivation occurs in response to ego and social rewards and dependent upon groups

Classics Theory (3): David McClellan: "Theory of Needs"

"Theory of Needs" Amending Maslow's hierarchy of needs, doesn't apply to everyone and the things that you need to be motivated can also change over time. Something you may think you need when you're 25 may change overtime. 3 categories: Need for achievement, Need for affiliation and Need for Power. AL __________________________ - Needs are learned over time and life experiences and differ from one person to another - Need for Achievement • Desire to do better, solve problems, and master complex tasks - Need for Affiliation • Desire for friendly and warm relations with others - Need for Power • Desire to control others and influence their behavior

Government by Equality: Civil Rights (1964-1978)

(regardless of who was elected you would keep your job). AL _______________________________________ Government by Equality: Civil Rights Period - Civil rights (and representative bureaucracy) movement to promote greater inclusion and equity - Executive Order 10925 (1961) - Passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) - Executive Order 11246 (1965) - Passage of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 - War on poverty and social equity programs • Food Stamp Act of 1964 • Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 • Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 • Social Security Act of 1965 (Medicare/Medicaid) ___________________________________________ BOOK NOTES: period of proaction. Affirmative action programs were established to provide an atmosphere conducive to equal opportunity and to correct imbalances in employment and advancement of minority employees. -President Kennedy's Executive Order 10925 prohibited discrimination in employment, as had previous orders, but it also included language for implementing affirmative action to right the wrongs in employment practices that had disenfranchised minorities. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 would codify antidiscriminatory practices in employment into law for future generations. -Rather than emphasizing efficiency, as had reformers in the Scientific Management period, advocates of reform now held social equity to be the central concern of the public service. -B. Johnson's war on poverty put into practice this emphasis on social equity through Great Society legislation, such as the Food Stamp Act of 1964 and the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, aimed at eliminating poverty and expanding educational opportunities for the poor. The focus of the public service included not only the charge of efficiency but also enhancement of social equity—working to redress the deprivation of minorities and enhance their political power and economic well-being. -Along with the guiding principles in the Pendleton Act (merit-based employment, neutral competence, and an open and competitive examination process)—the principles of representation, equal pay, and protection against whistle-blowing would be introduced. -Elementary and secondary education - not in book. -Medicare - not in book. Battaglio (pp. 32-33).

Merit principles: (1) Open Recruitment and Competitive Examinations (2) Security of tenure (job stability) (regardless of who was elected you would keep your job). (3) Political neutrality Separation of politics from administration AL _____________________________________________ BOOK NOTES: Pendleton Act of 1883, established a civil service system that separated routine work from policy and administrative process and that was based on merit, with open recruitment and competitive examinations (as opposed to the patronage and nepotism that was pervasive at the time) and political neutrality. -These principles, which emulated British tradition that had emerged in the mid-19th century, were deemed essential for effective governance. These principles held for roughly the next century. -In recent decades, however, the traditional association of civil service systems with effective governance has been challenged as being too focused on rules and not focused enough on finding the right person for the job. -Penalties for violation of the neutrality clause of the Pendleton Act included criminal sanctions. -integral to promoting a paradigm in public administration that demarcated politics and administration. Battaglio (p. 5 and 26-27). AL

Civil Rights Act of 1991: Bush

Social Identity Theory 2 Theories 1. Tajfel 2. Krislov (2 forms of representation)

1) Tajfel's Social Identity Theory (1979) Humans naturally have a tendency to migrate to people that are similar to themselves (Asians to Asians, male to male etc.). This theory is the reason why we have to proactively embrace diversity. Unconscious bias: is supported by social identity theory. Ex. You're on a hiring board, you'll gravitate to someone that looks like you. 2) Krislov's Theory of Representative Bureaucracy (representative workforce) Attract from the many skills and abilities of an entire population in order to address a broader set of policy problems Two Forms: 1) Passive Representation: Workforce has the same characteristic as the overall populations 2) Active Representation: Advocating for your specific group in the workforce and population.

**Political Neutrality (merit principles in Political Reform Act- Ethics) AL ___________________________ - Restricted public employees from participating in political activity __________________________________ BOOK NOTES: the Pendleton Act of 1883, which established a civil service system that separated routine work from policy and administrative process and that was based on merit, with open recruitment and competitive examinations (as opposed to the patronage and nepotism that was pervasive at the time) and political neutrality. Bataglio (p. 5) -desire for a civil service system of employment led to the passage of the Pendleton Act in 1883. This act codified into law the principles of a merit-based, politically neutral personnel system based on competitive examinations. The purpose was to mandate the hiring of persons based on their professional abilities rather than political patronage. -Subsequent legislation has also provided public employees with protection from wrongful termination. -These laws were intended to prevent maltreatment of public employees by superiors or political officials; as long as public employees performed satisfactorily in their positions, they could expect some degree of job security. Battaglio (p. 52). -Pendleton Act and executive orders forbade the involvement of public employees in political activities, what constituted such activities was not clarified until the 1930s.

Tajfel's Social Identity Theory (1979)

1) Tajfel's Social Identity Theory (1979) Humans naturally have a tendency to migrate to people that are similar to themselves (Asians to Asians, male to male etc.). This theory is the reason why we have to proactively embrace diversity. Unconscious bias: is supported by social identity theory. Ex. You're on a hiring board, you'll gravitate to someone that looks like you. AL ____________________________ - People tend to classify themselves into social categories that have meaning for them and shapes the way individuals interact with others from their own identity group and from other groups (e.g. race, gender, etc.) • Propositions: - People desire to belong to groups that enjoy distinct and positive identities - People desire intergroup relationships • Social categorizations (such as women, teachers, students, managers, Muslims, etc.) • Social identity (such as gender, race, class, personality, physical traits, intellectual traits, etc.)

Moreover, these tasks may be particularly cumbersome for HR professionals in smaller agencies who lack the greater resources of larger organizations (Coggburn 2001; Hou et al. 2000). With performance-based pay systems, HR policy makers face difficulties in creating a government-wide standard given agency differences (Hays and Sowa 2006; Kellough and Nigro 2002). -HR professionals need better training in designing and implementing an efficient performance appraisal system that accurately rewards the behaviors that contribute to success in the absence of clear standards. -legal liability, problems with pay comparability, and a disconnection with the labor market (Hays and Sowa 2006; Shafritz et al. 2001; see also Whalen and Guy 2008). Thus, HR professionals need adequate training in competitive compensation practices, salary negotiations, performance appraisal, budgeting, and labor market analysis. -privatization of HR functions requires more extensive knowledge knowledge of cost-benefit analysis and contract management, and HR professionals charged with contract management need tools to ensure accountability through monitoring, legal restrictions, competition, cost accounting, and overall evaluation Battaglio (p. 14).

Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967: Johnson

Age not one of the 5 classes. When it was passed in 1967 only for private sector and amended in 74 to include public sector. Only for people between the ages of 40-70. You also can't discriminate against them on pay. Federal workers, more protection. Sue for damages State employees - Can't sue for damages (state gov't has immunity-11th amendment) . You may not be able to get money out of it but you may get injunction relief (your job back). AL ______________________________ - Prohibits age discrimination against employees between 40-70 and restricts mandatory retirement unless there is a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) • Original 1967 Act only covered private employees • Amended in 1974 to cover public employees (federal, state, local) • Amended in 1978 to raise the minimum mandatory age for retirement to 70 - Prohibits compensation discrimination based on age - Gomez-Perez v. Potter (2008) 6-3: Supreme Court rule federal workers who experience retaliation for reporting age discrimination can sue for damages - Kimel v. Florida Board of Regents (2000) 5-4: Supreme Court held that state employees cannot sue states for monetary damages (still possible for injunctive relief)

Employment-At-Will

Exemptions - Standard Exemptions (Federal laws) • Illegal discrimination (e.g. race, sex, nat'l origin, religion, age, disability, etc.) • Retaliation (e.g. whistleblowing, filing workers comp claim) - Public Policy Exemption (42 states & DC adopted): HI (yes) • Refusing to perform an act that state law prohibits (e.g. perjury at trial) • Reporting a violation of the law (e.g. employer's fraudulent practice) • Engaging in acts that are in the public interest (e.g. jury duty, Nat Guard) • Exercising a statutory right (e.g., filing workers' comp claim under state law) - Implied Contract Exemption (41 states & DC adopted): HI (yes) • Oral assurances from supervisor or employer representative • Handbook, policies, practices with written guidance on employment length - Covenant of Good Faith Exemption (20 states adopted): HI (no) • Terminations that are made in bad faith or motivated by malice (e.g. employer terminating an older employee to avoid paying retirement benefits or firing a salesman working on commission just prior to a commission becoming payable) _________________________________ BOOK NOTES: EAW has the potential to exacerbate recruitment and retention problems. Battaglio (p. 14). -particular, views of EAW and performance-based pay have proven to be significant for understanding organizational and managerial trust. Additionally, HR professionals may be more aware of agency HR policies than are other agency employees and be more capable of protecting themselves against adverse actions in the workplace. -past employee experience with spoils in the workplace is a significant predictor of the erosion of trust. -that EAW enables a spoils system adversely affects employee perceptions of organizational fairness, their trust in management, and their trust in the organization. -The erosion of trust in the workplace can be a significant impediment to improving productivity—the initial goal of these reform efforts. -EAW systems may have a fundamental flaw: familiarity may indeed breed contempt (Battaglio and Condrey 2009, 702-3). If this is so, EAW systems may, in fact, undermine the very public management systems they were intended to strengthen. -loss of job security in EAW environments has also frayed trust in the workplace. In exchange for less job security, reformers promised better pay, leave, or other benefits (Bowman and West 2006). However, research suggests that job security has a positive impact on employee productivity and commitment to the organization -it may discourage open dialogue among employees who fear reprisals if they speak their minds. In this regard, EAW may be sending a mixed message to employees. Doubtful of EAW's ability to encourage policy innovation, employees are also aware that their jobs are on the line if they don't produce results. Such a conflicting message may prove problematic for progress in an EAW environment. -Instead of motivating employees to be innovative and performance oriented, EAW has potentially eroded traditional principles supporting job security and influenced employees to be less assertive and progress oriented. -African Americans, in particular, have expressed objections to EAW as a motivational tool. -While on its face EAW may appear to sidestep lengthy grievance processes, in reality HR professionals will seldom make arbitrary decisions without guidance from HR offices and legal staff. Given the legal implications of establishing a set of grievance policies, EAW systems may avoid developing personnel manuals. HR personnel are subsequently given little or no guidance in disciplining employees in EAW jurisdictions. Battaglio (pp. 41-44).

John Adams: "Equity Theory"

FOCUS "Equity Theory": Don't believe everyone should be equal, what I believe in, everyone has equal opportunity. Highly motivated folks should be awarded more. Created in 1978 when performance-based pay came about. This is the theory that justified why we do merit based or performance pay. If everyone doesn't do excellent work then not everyone should merit that pay. Most people like this theory. AL _________________________ - What is fair or equitable is learned through a process of socialization and comparison with others - Those who contribute more should receive more rewards (e.g. merit pay or performance-based pay)

GOVERNMENT BY THE COMMON MAN: Spoils (1829-1883)

Andrew Jackson, no more just upper class. Bringing the "common man" in to work in government. Job was through political affiliation (patronage). Too political as opposed to representative and abuse of power. AL _____________________________ Government by the Common Man: Spoils Period - President Andrew Jackson's inauguration (1829) brought the "common man" into the White House - Party loyalty was intense and party members were rewarded with a government appointment (regardless of competence) in what came to be known as the spoils system--the practice of awarding government jobs to one's friends and political supporters - Patronage is the power vested in political leaders to make partisan appointments and to confirm licenses, contracts, franchises, honors, and other benefits on political supporters, friends, and relatives - Resulted in political government v. representative government and abuse of power ___________________________________ BOOK NOTES: The Jackson presidency encouraged greater participation in the electoral process and public service by the mass populace, regardless of status or education attainment. -universal white male suffrage attracted a greater plebian constituency to the political process. -spoils period of public employment, hiring, removal, and related personnel decisions increasingly relied upon the employee's partisan affiliation, specifically whether he supported the political goals of the party in power. -an intellectual and political rationale for effectively staffing the bureaucracy by the doctrine of rotation in office. -not a more representative government but a more political government. While the Jackson era opened up public service to the common man, the common man did not ultimately benefit. -Instead of creating a more egalitarian public service, the spoils era was just as irresponsible and unrepresentative as the system Jacksonian reformers had intended to fix.

Human resource theory shifted its focus from the employer and organization to labor and the individual within the workplace. Experiments during this period (e.g., the Hawthorne experiments conducted to assess human behavior in the workplace) demonstrated that the internal and external elements of the organization's environment were profoundly important to understanding human behaviors such as motivation and morale. -President's Committee on Administrative Management—the Brownlow Committee—in 1937 to deliberate and offer advice on how he might better manage the bureaucracy. targeted personnel administration for purposes of reforming management and modernizing the executive office. Emphasizing the ideals of the era, the committee wrote that the "administrator should be concerned with human relations, values, deeper . . . needs of the human beings whose government he represents" -president was ill equipped to manage a growing bureaucracy given the lack of professional staff in the White House. Result was creation of the Executive Office of the President with a strong executive leadership role over the civil service. The president would no longer take a role subordinate to that of Congress and the Civil Service Commission in the staffing of the government apparatus. New framework advocated moving Congress into an oversight role so as not to constrain the president's ability to manage the bureaucracy. Battaglio (pp. 30-31).

Theories of Motivation: Psychological Contract

Distinguishes a great manager from a good manager. Psychological contracts can increase motivation Conducted in-person meetings or reviews during first 2-4 weeks and then recurring periods (quarterly, semi-annual, annual) Sit down with your supervisor, sit down with the boss. Ensures clarity about roles and expectations and then when you're done, ask them what they expect of you? Allows managers to better understand needs of employees (eg short time and long-term goal both personal and professional = what tools do I need to motivate this person). Always bring in education and advancement if it isn't addressed. AL

Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) of 1970

Multicultural multiethnic, multi location, multi background. Effective communication and understanding -sensitive to each others differences - take advantage of all backgrounds. equal representation. Tunnel vision. Diversity improves government services and government programs. Don't care where the great ideas come from but want to make sure they come in. It depends on the issue. Pending the government service, program or policy, diversity nay not be a primary issue but it may be one of these other ones. 3 dimensions of diversity: Primary (unchangeable) Sex Race Ethnicity Age Sexual Orientation Physical and mental abilities Veteran and military spouse status Secondary(changeable) Education Social Economic Status Marital Status Parental Status Religion Political Party Work Experience Regional background (North, South and Midwest) Tertiary (changeable) Alma mater Fraternity or sorority Hobbies Activities Clothing and grooming style Music Sports teams Weight AL

Classics Theory (3): Abraham Maslow "Hierarchy of Needs", Douglas McGregor: "Theory X vs Theory Y" and o David McClelland: "Theory of Needs"

Need Theories Humans have basic needs. If you fulfill those needs then humans will stay in the workplace. o Abraham Maslow "Hierarchy of Needs" - First theory ever created. How do you motivate your employees? (percentage = number happy with step 2 and above included). He says everyone can follow this (premise 1). Have to go in order from the bottom to the top (premise 2). Step 1 provide physiological needs (10%) -pay them, comfortable in workplace (Heat/ac) Step 2 Safety Needs (15%): Safe workplace - Following OSHA guidelines and laws for workplace safety. Provide benefits (Medical, life insurance) and job security. Step 3 (43%) Social Needs: Have to like your boss and the people you work with. Work groups, clients, coworkers, supervisors. Desire to go to work and be around your coworkers and do good. Step 4 Esteem Needs (30%): Recognition, status, increased responsibilities. Plaques, awards, recognition ceremonies, newsletters. Step 5 Self Actualization needs (2%): Opportunities for training advancement, growth and creativity. Selection for cool training opportunities. Highest of the high. o Douglas McGregor: "Theory X vs Theory Y": Well-known. Focus on Theory Y Assumptions Theory X is only working to meet the physical need. Theory Y: People are willing to work and autonomysly. If given a project, their willing to be creative and come up with solutions. Presented in a different way. o David McClelland: "Theory of Needs": Amending Maslow's hierarchy of needs, doesn't apply to everyone and the things that you need to be motivated can also change over time. Something you may thing you need when you're 25 may change overtime. 3 categories: Need for achievement, Need for affiliation and Need for Power. AL

Affirmative Action

Never been mandatory - always voluntary unless it was a legal remedy based on a court order, negotiated settlement or government regulation. Because affirmative action and diversity go hand in hand, we embrace it because we believe it's important to have as many perspectives as possible. In most recent supreme court decision - Fisher v. Texas (2016) Supreme Court came out on record and said diversity is a government compelling interest. Word is a justification for affirmative action. Argument was affirmative action as a whole which extends to public and private employment. 2 other major decisions that led to Fisher Gratz v. Bollinger - University of Michigan (undergraduate) Grutter v. Bollinger - University of Michigan (graduate) Whatever category you're going to use (race, gender etc.) bottom line is that you cannot quantify it. If you quantify it, that's discrimination. If you're female you get 10 points...if you don't quantify it, you can maybe carry extra weight. What's the circumstance of our office. Ex. Hiring panel: all Asian office - 15 points to a white applicant. Pretty comparable applicants, if your hire a Caucasian you used diversity to bring about affirmative action in to the program. AL _________________________ Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 governs the practice of affirmative action - Actionable legal remedies aimed at addressing intentional employment discrimination via court order, negotiated settlement, or government regulation • Gratz v. Bollinger (2003): 6-3 (quantifiable scale) • Grutter v. Bollinger (2003): 5-4 (no quantifiable scale) • Fisher v. University of Texas (2016): 4-3 - Court curtails scope and meaning of affirmative action by focusing on diversity as a "compelling interest" - Importance of diversity in education has consequences for promoting diversity in public and private employment

LGBTQ Protection

No overarching federal law that protects sexual orientation. There are some protections but it's piecemeal. If you worked in Federal government, there are some protections via executive order but only applies to federal government.

Passage of the Classification Act of 1923 (from Scientific Management Period 1906-1937)

Passage of the Classification Act of 1923 - grading, scoring, performance eval. Trade jobs (entry level), military, civil service, law enforcement, first responders, teaching up to middle school. " For 31 years we looked at people as just what they do and how to get there the quickest and cheapest. AL ___________________________________________ BOOK NOTES: While scientific management was originally intended for private sector consumption, public personnel systems would eventually evolve toward its tenets, which were notably embodied in the Classification Act of 1923. The act set about organizing and centralizing merit principles according to the wisdom of scientific management (Shafritz et al. 2001). Before the act's passage, job descriptions, career grades, and formal appraisals were largely nonexistent in the public sector. The law's result was the creation of modern position classification, establishing (1) broad occupational divisions or "services"; (2) "grades" as a means for distinguishing jobs by levels of importance, difficulty, responsibility, and value; (3) uniform compensation schedules; (4) a general appraisal system of the duties and responsibilities of office; (5) a policy of equal pay for equal work; (6) "classes" and "class specifications"; (7) a central classifying authority; and (8) finality of the classifying authority's decisions The act effectively centralized authority over all the terms of employment, particularly by implementing job analysis and job descriptions under position management—a practice in effect to this day in many jurisdictions. Battaglio (p. 29-30).

Classification Act of 1949 (from Behavioralism 1937-1964)

Pay system and step-by step grades classification via newly created GS pay system. AL ______________________________ BOOK NOTES: strengthened the Civil Service Commission's control over position classification. -balance executive authority over the civil service, while expanding Civil Service Commission responsibility for position management. Unfortunately, balancing act proved challenging, resulting in what Wallace Sayre (1948) termed "the triumph of techniques over purpose" (134). The focus on technical details (e.g., rigid pay grades) diverted public personnel from their responsibilities in the service of public policy and the public interest. Battaglio (pp. 31-32).

Government by the Good: First Reform (1883-1906) SIGNIFICANT ERA #1

Progressive movement, doesn't matter what political party, just qualified. **HUMAN Resource Management - Pendleton Act of 1883 -one of two most significant pieces of legislation in HR. Created Federal Agency, Civil Service Commission created a merit system. Merit principles: (1) Open Recruitment and Competitive Examinations (2) Security of tenure (job stability) (regardless of who was elected you would keep your job). (3) Political neutrality Separation of politics from administration AL ________________________________ - Progressive movement to make government more democratic and promote greater regulation ____________________________________ BOOK NOTES: Progressive reforms, which would usher in the modern civil service system. -public service, such as it was in the mid- to late 1800s, was staffed by opportunistic office seekers and was not professionally equipped to meet the public demand for expertise related to industrialization and regulation. -Immigration changed the demographic reality of 19th-century America. many immigrants, seeking access to the political system but continually rebuffed by the old gentry and their connections to industry, viewed political action as a necessity. -A public service based on merit, instead of political affiliations or connections, viewed as a means for increasing the economic, political, and moral development of the country. -sought an end to corruption in public service through creation of a merit-based system modeled after Great Britain; public service that clearly separated support staff and their more routine clerical work from a professional class engaged in policy formulation and implementation. Selection would rely on open recruitment (anyone was welcome to apply, and appointment would be based on merit, as demonstrated by performance on examinations). -a civil service commission was established in 1855 to administer this selection process, ending the long-standing system of patronage. -examinations and open recruitment as a means for ending patronage run amok in the public service. Battaglio (p. 25-26).

Theories of Motivation: Classics Theories (3)

Psychological contract distinguishes a great manager from a good manager CLASSICS THEORIES Need Theories Humans have basic needs. If you fulfill those needs then humans will stay in the workplace. o Abraham Maslow "Hierarchy of Needs" - First theory ever created. How do you motivate your employees? (percentage = number happy with step 2 and above included). He says everyone can follow this (premise 1). Have to go in order from the bottom to the top (premise 2). Step 1 provide physiological needs (10%) -pay them, comfortable in workplace (Heat/ac) Step 2 Safety Needs (15%): Safe workplace - Following OSHA guidelines and laws for workplace safety. Provide benefits (Medical, life insurance) and job security. Step 3 (43%) Social Needs: Have to like your boss and the people you work with. Work groups, clients, coworkers, supervisors. Desire to go to work and be around your coworkers and do good. Step 4 Esteem Needs (30%): Recognition, status, increased responsibilities. Plaques, awards, recognition ceremonies, newsletters. Step 5 Self Actualization needs (2%): Opportunities for training advancement, growth and creativity. Selection for cool training opportunities. Highest of the high. o Douglas McGregor: "Theory X vs Theory Y": Well-known. Focus on Theory Y Assumptions Theory X is only working to meet the physical need. Theory Y: People are willing to work and autonomysly. If given a project, their willing to be creative and come up with solutions. Presented in a different way. o David McClelland: "Theory of Needs": Amending Maslow's hierarchy of needs, doesn't apply to everyone and the things that you need to be motivated can also change over time. Something you may thing you need when you're 25 may change overtime. 3 categories: Need for achievement, Need for affiliation and Need for Power. AL

Civil Rights Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: Johnson (Title VII Designates Employment; Creation of EEOC; 5 Protected Classes; Disparate Impact; BFOQ (Bona Fide Occupational Qualification)

When it comes to what was going on in our country, purpose was to do with unequal voter issues and school segregation. (95% of the civil rights act). Anything on employment is under Title VII. Have to be very specific and say Title VII of the civil rights act to designate employment. 1)Equal Employment Opportunity Commission - when it was created. No power, no teeth but could look in to an issue but couldn't investigate or inforce. 2) Cannot discriminate on these 5 protected classes: race, color, religion, national origin or gender. Disparate Treatment (intentionally treated differently due to) **Disparate Impact (indirectly exclude a protected group) -Griggs v. Duke Power Company (1971) - can't have a policy that indirectly goes against another one or excludes a certain group. Ex. Requirement = high school diploma but job is to shovel coal. Why? -Ricci v DeStefani (2009)- can't change a requirement after you establish it because that's also a disparate impact. Can't change the criteria to exclude a protected group. No minority or majority groups. Prohibits compensation (pay) discrimination based on race, color, religion Sex or national origin. Discrimination can be allowed if you have: Bona. Fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) (essential for the job).

Generational Differences (Baby Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y or Millenials)

o Baby Boomers (born 1940-1964) " "Pay their dues" and "wait their turn". Loyalty. " Competitive just because of lack of management jobs. " Motivated by praise, money and position. o Generation X (born 1965-1980) " Have to enjoy what they're doing. " Autonomy o Generation Y or Millennials (1980-1997) well-traveled - open minded. " "Works to live" rather than "live to work" " Need to feel they are making a difference (public and nonprofit sector) " Far more demanding (they want to know why first); vetting. " Want fulfillment first -the top 2% right away. Big boss when you're 25. Not applicable to public sector. (Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs). " Not loyal to organization automatically but loyal to individuals. If they like their boss, that will keep them self-motivated. If that person leaves, they'll go with that person. AL

AL _________________________ - More committed - Conscientious - Concerned with achieving outcomes - Have less turnover - Enjoy their work leading to increased learning/effectiveness

Contemporary Theories (3): Victor Vroom "Expectancy Theory", Edwin Locke and Gary Latham: "Goal Theory" and John Adams: "Equity Theory"

o Victor Vroom: "Expectancy Theory": Economist. Says that motivation is based on 3 things: Effort a person puts in to work and if they do this work they have an expectation to receive an award and what is the value perceived by that person. Based on those 3 things will determine how much motivation of the person. Best way is to figure out what the award is of value in order to motivate and get that effort put forth. - reserved parking. - time off of work (comp time) o Edwin Locke and Gary Latham: "Goal Theory" - employee that is motivated by achieving a goal, that may be a way to positively reinforce and keep them motivated. Manager has to provide constant feedback to monitor progress. FOCUS: o John Adams: "Equity Theory": Don't believe everyone should be equal, what I believe in, everyone has equal opportunity. Highly motivated folks should be awarded more. Created in 1978 when performance-based pay came about. This is the theory that justified why we do merit based or performance pay. If everyone doesn't do excellent work then not everyone should merit that pay. Most people like this theory.

• Equal Pay Act of 1963: Kennedy

precursor for discrimination under Civil Rights act of 1964. (Gender = protected under both). If job has to so with same skill, effort, responsibility, working conditions and establishments) 4 factors when it's allowed - 3 makes sense and 4th one is reason why we still have pay disparity 1 seniority - if you can argue someone has more experience than you can argue you can pay more to that person. 2 merit 0 something extra to the table. Min requirement for Bachelors. Someone comes in with a masters - more pay. Or someone comes in with more experience than the other new hire = justified. 3 piecework - set amount for one thing (teaching a class-paid for a specific item; it doesn't matter how long it takes you to prep. One set amount). 4 non-gender factor-basically gives an open door for employer to discriminate on pay. (ISSUE) States Equal Pay Laws (48 states includes HI) and DC AL ____________________________ Equal Pay Act of 1963: Kennedy - Prohibits pay differences on the basis of gender for equal work (e.g. same skill, effort, responsibility, working conditions, and establishment) • Affirmative Defenses: Seniority, merit, piecework, non-gender factor

Current Trends

• Changing workforce (generational) - Retiring Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z • Declining confidence in government • Declining budgets lead to alternate work arrangements - More contractors and part-time employees • Rightsizing and downsizing despite population growth • Demands for productivity gains without raising costs • Emerging virtual workplace/government • Demand for diversity and inclusion - Women, minorities, and same-sex/transgender equality

Equal Employment Opportunity Laws

• Civil Rights Laws - Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 - Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 - Civil Rights Act of 1991 • Equal Pay Act of 1963 • Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 • Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 • LGBTQ Protection Laws

Current Reform Themes

• Decentralization - Transfer HR functions to lower level decision-makers • Declassification - Refining pay grades into broad job descriptions vice very specific job descriptions • Performance-Based Pay - Compensation tied to performance vice longevity or time-in-service • Deregulation - Eliminating personnel rules and regulations (due process) to expedite HR decisions with employment-at-will (EAW) • Privatization - Outsource HR functions to private and non-profit organizations
