The case for reform has dominated commentaries on public administration for the last decade or so. It is argued that public institutions are not evolving at a pace to meet the broader context of globalisation, digitisation, changing demographics, perma-austerity, increased citizen expectations and decreased citizen trust. Less attention has been paid to the implications that necessary reform would have on the public service workforce, and less still on how public services should develop this workforce. This is the argument set out in the introduction to Reimagining the Future Public Service Workforce, an ambitious collection of research evidence and case studies that aims to plug this gap in the literature. Part One (the introductory chapter) sets the scene and draws on recent research from the UK and Australia which lays the groundwork for the contributions that follow. Part Two (Chapters Two through Seven) cover major themes in reimagining the public service workforce. Part Three moves to how we can develop this workforce (Chapters Eight and Nine), and the editors conclude with crosscutting themes and challenges in the final chapter. Part Two begins with a discussion on the role of boundaries and boundary-spanning activities (Buick et al., Chapter Two), which will play an even more imperative role in the future public service. A boundary spanner’s primary role is to broker relationships across divides, be they organisational, national, or between disciplines or cultures. The authors highlight the necessary interpersonal, cognitive, managerial, political and entrepreneurial skills needed to conduct this challenging activity, and discuss how these skills can be fostered

重新构想未来的公共服务劳动力

在过去十年左右的时间里,改革的理由一直主导着关于公共行政的评论。有人认为,公共机构的发展速度未能满足全球化、数字化、不断变化的人口结构、永久紧缩、公民期望增加和公民信任度下降的更广泛背景。较少关注必要改革对公共服务劳动力的影响,更不关注公共服务应如何发展这些劳动力。这是重新构想未来公共服务劳动力的介绍中提出的论点,这是一个雄心勃勃的研究证据和案例研究集合,旨在填补文献中的这一空白。第一部分(介绍性章节)设置场景并借鉴了英国和澳大利亚的最新研究,为后续的贡献奠定了基础。第二部分(第二至第七章)涵盖了重新构想公共服务劳动力的主要主题。第三部分讨论我们如何发展这种劳动力(第八章和第九章),编辑在最后一章以横切主题和挑战结束。第二部分首先讨论边界和跨界活动的作用(Buick 等,第二章),它们将在未来的公共服务中发挥更加重要的作用。边界生成器的主要作用是协调跨界的关系,无论是组织的、国家的,还是学科或文化之间的。作者强调了必要的人际关系、认知、管理、
