Description: "This book explores the ways in which governments manage public employees in developing countries and how this in turn impacts on the success of national development and governance strategies. Drawing on governance, development and HRM literature the book presents seven in-depth case studies from developing countries in Africa and Asia. Finally, it proposes ways forward for Human Resource Management in developing countries in the context of government reform strategies."--Jacket.
