Inhaltsangabe

This text explores the impact of the changes in local government upon the attitudes, behaviour and job satisfaction of the managers most affected by them. On the basis of a detailed review of recent research findings and theoretical debates, it outlines the major changes affecting local government organizations and the duties and responsibilities of those working with them. The text then examines how far the rhetoric of new managerialism is supported by the reality of change.
