Excerpt from From Patronage to Proficiency in the Public Service: An Inquiry Into Professional Qualification and Methods of Recruitment in the Civil Service and the Municipal Service
HE old saying that the success or failure of all institutions depends on the men who work them is a political platitude of the first water; but it is ao quiring a new aspect of truth with the gradual evolution of modern political science from the old art of govern ment. For with this development success or failure comes to depend not only, as hitherto, on the spirit and character of the men who work the institutions, but also, to an ever-increasing extent, on their mil knowledge and professional qualifications. The this transition is necessarily a slow one, and in our own day we shall see no more than its mere beginning; but still we can note that the most significant characteristic of the progressive development of State activity, public ownership and administrative regulation which has been one of the outstanding political features of the past cen tury, is the alteration in the methods by which the greatly extended functions of government are carried out.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical transformation of public administration in Britain from the early 19th Century to the start of the First World War. The author argues that the shift from patronage to professional civil service employment is a critical element of this process. This shift was a response to government expansion and a recognition that increasingly complex systems required skilled administrators and expertise, marking a shift in governance from amateur to expert. The book draws on the reports of three Royal Commissions, the Gladstone Committee, and the Reorganization Committee of the Civil Service National Whitley Council to trace the history of the Civil Service and to discuss methods of civil service recruitment. The book concludes by considering the impact of professionalization on the nature of civil service work, the role of voluntary associations of civil servants, and the challenges of ensuring both expertise and fairness in recruitment and promotion. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
