Review

'This edited volume by Steijn and Knies is a unique and much-needed book that caters to audiences in two academic disciplines. For scholars of public administration and public management, it showcases how HRM ultimately affects the success of public policy and the quality of public service provision. For HRM scholars, the book illuminates how HRM in public organisations is not business as usual, as their distinctive characteristics serve as critical contingency factors. For both audiences, this book generously provides state-of-the-art insights by an international ensemble of researchers.' -- Joris van der Voet, Leiden University, the Netherlands'This is a very necessary book. It contributes with a strategic perspective on HRM in the public sector. Especially the insights on horizontal and vertical fit combined with implementation/action and the parts about people management and leadership are inspiring. The contributors are an excellent mix of top researchers and young talents.' -- Lotte Bøgh Andersen, Aarhus University, Denmark'This is a welcomed and long overdue Research Handbook that brings together scholars from across the globe to address key questions relating to the management of people in public sector organisations. Clarification is provided on "what are public organisations" and the need for a distinctive approach to HRM within a context where organisations have multiple and often competing outcomes. People management rightly takes centre stage with employee well-being featuring alongside organisational performance. Congratulations to all contributors!' -- Julian Gould-Williams, Cardiff University, UK
