Do agree/disagree with the statement made why or why not?

The two external articles that I really enjoyed and wanted to comment on were Public HR management research and the Rise and Fall of Civil Service Reform. I thought with the public HR that it was great that it talked about motivation and what pushes people on a daily basis. It's so important to look at these things from an HR angle and see how direct compensation effects workers on a daily basis. Efficiency and effectiveness is another thing that needs to be looked at and this article does a great job of highlighting those things in the workplace and how it can change the culture of an entire organization. The rise and fall of civil service reform article do a wonderful job of talking about what civil service is and how it has affected our country over the last couple hundred years. Civil Services keep identifying the new areas of societal concerns, inform the political masters and help them design the potential solutions in the form of various schemes and programs. They keep taking feedback of performance of these schemes and bring required modifications in them. It is the Civil Services which is in constant touch with the people at all levels of govt. – people interactions. Therefore the efficiency and attitude of civil servants will reflect upon people’s confidence and faith in the governance of the country. This was a great to read about this and discover a new world of service that I had never read about before.
