HRM Models in Public Sector Prior to Digital Tech Boom
Abstract
The article explores and discusses the basic characteristics and points of human resource management models prior to the digital technology boom. The objective is to show the landscape in human resource management at the threshold of a new technological era. Firstly, I discussed the general concepts of HRM as applied to public
organizations. Secondly, I explained and provided critical comments on the salient features of New Public Management (NPM), Reinventing Government (RG), and business process engineering (BPR) models. Lastly, the final section tried to identify the obvious points of convergences and divergences of the said models through
simple enumeration.
