520 | 3 | _aTrends in states' civil service reforms since the Winter Commission's report was published in 1993 are described and evaluated in the context of its recommendations. The authors argue that the commission's reform agenda relies on a public service bargain that requires public employees, elected officials, and other stakeholders to respect, trust, and support each other's efforts to serve the public interest. Its recommendations for modernizing state and local personnel systems are discussed and related to the "reinvention" and New Public Management initiatives of the past 20 years. Many of these ideas have been adopted by state governments, but there is no single reform model that has been followed across the states. Some states, such as Georgia and Florida, have engaged in radical reforms that include replacing traditional merit systems with at-will employment models. The general pattern involves decentralization, deregulation, and limitation of employee protections. While many of the management-oriented changes advocated by the Winter Commission are staples of states' civil service reforms, its emphasis on a "trust and lead" strategy based on public service values, partnership, and leadership in the public interest has not received much attention. In general, objective evaluations of states' reforms are needed to determine whether their purposes are being achieved | |
