Mérito, Desempenho e Resultados - ensaios sobre gestão de pessoas para o setor público

  • Type: Book
  • -
  • Published: 2014-06-02
  • -
  • Publisher: UCRH

O livro reúne uma feliz combinação de ensaios sobre a tão importante quanto difícil missão de gerir pessoas em organizações do setor público. Tendo a questão do mérito, do desempenho e dos resultados como foco principal, a gestão de pessoas é vista como uma política pública em si mesma. Questões éticas, culturais e históricas, valores e princípios, comportamento, estrutura e novas formas de contratualização das relações de trabalho no setor público são tratadas em ensaios baseados ora na prática e experiência de consultores e acadêmicos, ora em pesquisas e mapeamentos que permitem reconhecer a realidade da gestão de pessoas no setor público paulista e compará-la com a realidade em outros níveis de governo e do exterior. Leitura útil não somente para gestores públicos e profissionais de recursos humanos, mas também para estudantes, acadêmicos e para todos os que trabalham para o aprimoramento da gestão pública.

Innovation, Catch-up and Sustainable Development

This volume presents selected contributions from the 2018 conference of the International Schumpeter Society (ISS). The selected chapters in this volume reflect the state-of-the-art of Schumpeterian economics dedicated to the three conference topics innovation, catch-up, and sustainability. Innovation is driving catch-up processes and is the condition for a transformation towards higher degrees of sustainability. Therefore, Schumpeterian economics has to play a key role in these most challenging fields of human societies’ development in the 21st century. The three topics are well suited to capture the great variety of issues, which have the potential to shape the scientific discussion in e...

Labor and Product Market Reforms and External Imbalances: Evidence from Advanced Economies

We explore the impact of major labor and product market reforms on current account dynamics using a new “narrative” database of major changes in employment protection for regular workers and product market regulation for non-manufacturing industries covering 26 advanced economies over the past four decades. Our main finding is that product market deregulation is associated with a weakening of the current account, while labor market deregulation is associated with an improvement. These effects are transitory and driven by both saving and investment responses. Labor and product market reforms both have a more positive impact on the current account balance when implemented under weak macroeconomic conditions. Our results are broadly consistent with predictions from recent DSGE models with endogenous producer entry and labor market frictions.

Inflation is regarded by the many as a menace that damages business and can only make life worse for households. Keeping it low depends critically on ensuring that firms and workers expect it to be low. So expectations of inflation are a key influence on national economic welfare. This collection pulls together a galaxy of world experts (including Roy Batchelor, Richard Curtin and Staffan Linden) on inflation expectations to debate different aspects of the issues involved. The main focus of the volume is on likely inflation developments. A number of factors have led practitioners and academic observers of monetary policy to place increasing emphasis recently on inflation expectations. One is...
