Texte suppl.

"This book provides a cogent and systematic analysis of the impact of New Public Management (reinvention) upon organized labor in the civil service. As such, it contains important lessons for politicians and public managers on the consequences and implications of bureaucratic change upon the workers who are most instrumental in making government work, the front-line service providers." Steven Hays (University of South Carolina, USA)
