課程概述 |
本課程〈跨域社會:人事行政實務〉,將以通識的理念進行授課,讓非本科系的同學站在較高的位置,用較寬闊的視野,對人類知識發展有整體性的掌握,通識教育的目標就是視野的養成教育。 或許有些同學會對公共服務有興趣,有些同學會注重影響公共政策的運作部分,因此你將首先認知公共行政領域中多元的學習機會。在所有政府層級的中央政府、直轄市、縣市、鄉鎮市的地方政府,以及所有非營利組織中工作的人,有些人是在業務或幕僚單位擔任管理職位,甚至有些人是擔任分析職位(如政策分析人員、預算分析人員等)。這些行政人員工作的具體領域範圍是不可思議的,其幅度是分殊的,諸如森林復育員、基金分析師、交通管理員或太空探險家。值此,我們將檢視公共行政的界線及特徵,以及在行政工作的一些令我們關注的管理及分析人員。 我們一般上可謂行政學是聚焦於公共計劃的管理。當一位行政人,你應發現自己是在建立或執行某一特定的公共政策,在行政運作中,你不僅需要與公民互動,同時也要與行政、立法、司法等不同政府部門的官員互動。在互動過程中,你將需敏感地意會到一些與民主治理相結合的重要價值,諸如:自由、平等和正義。你同時確認你將持著公平及責任的價值,來從事公共服務,並且持續尋求較佳公共利益之道。 在試圖解決這些種種考慮之下,你同時將發現你是投入管理極為複雜體的世界。這時,你勢必攜帶你的技術及能力,去承受一些從權力、權威到溝通的問題,以及能激勵到團體動態、組織變遷的問題。你將須知道一些有效成為現代管理者的工具和技術,從預算、財務到策略管理、生產力的促進,尤其是人力資源管理、人事行政乃至人事制度各種層面的問題。 As someone interested in the public service, either as a possible career or just in terms of being able to influence public policy, you should recognize first the tremendous diversity of opportunities within the field of public administration. People in this field work at all levels of government-federal, state, and local-and in nonprofit organization of all types. Some hold managerial positions in either line or staff agencies, whereas others are in analyst positions (policy analyst, budget analyst, and so on). The range of substantive areas in which public administrators work is incredible, spanning fields as diverse as forestry, transportation, and space exploration. In this section, we will examine the boundaries and characteristics of public administration, as well as some of the perspectives managers and analysts might bring to their work. We can say generally that public administration is concerned with the management of public programs. As an administrator, you might find yourself working to establish or to carry out a particular policy and, in doing so, you might well interact not only with citizens but with executive, legislative, and judicial officials at many different levels of government. In these interactions, you would need to be sensitive to some important values associated with democratic governments, values such as freedom, equality and justice. You would certainly find yourself struggling with the values that guide the public service, values that guide the public service, values such as equity and accountability. And you would most certainly find yourself constantly for a better understanding of the public interest. But beyond trying to sort out these many political considerations, you would find yourself enmeshed in a world characterized by managerial complexity. You would need to be able to bring your skills and abilities to bear on questions ranging from power and authority to communications and motivation to group dynamics and organizational change. You would need to know something about the tools and techniques available to modern managers, from budgeting and personnel management to strategic management and productivity improvement. |
