Management Reform: Agencies' Initial Efforts to Restructure Personnel Operations

摘要

Resource reductions and chaning missions, coinciding with the replacement ofaging human resources management information systems, and driving efforts in federal agencies to restructure their personnel offices. Congress has made it clear, through enactment of a statutory framework with the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 as its centerpiece, that it expects agencies to improve their accountability for resources, including human resources, in accomplishing agency missions. In addition, the National Performance Review (NPR), now called the National Partnership for Reinventing Government, in 1993, recommended that agencies reduce by half the costs of administrative positions, including personnel positions, by 1999.
