We review the literature on people management and performance in organizations across a range of disciplines, identifying aspects of management where there is clear evidence about what works as well as aspects where the evidence is mixed or does not yet exist. We organize our discussion by four lenses, or levels of analysis, through which people management can be viewed: (i) individual extrinsic, intrinsic, and psychological factors; (ii) organizational people management, operational management, and culture; (iii) team mechanisms, composition and structural features; and (iv) relationships, including networks, leadership, and individuals’ relationships to their job and tasks. Each of these four lenses corresponds not only to a body of literature but also to a set of management tools and approaches to improving public employees’ performance; articulating the connections across these perspectives is an essential frontier for research. We find that existing people management evidence and practice have overemphasized formal management tools and financial motivations at the expense of understanding how to leverage a broader range of motivations, build organizational culture, and use informal and relational management practices. We suggest that foregrounding the role of relationships in linking people and performance—relational public management—may prove a fertile and interdisciplinary frontier for research and practices.

公共部门人员管理的四个视角:证据审查与综合

我们回顾了有关跨学科组织中人员管理和绩效的文献,确定了有明确证据表明有效的管理方面以及证据混合或尚不存在的方面。我们通过四个视角或分析层次组织我们的讨论,通过这些视角可以查看人员管理:(i)个人外在、内在和心理因素;(ii) 组织人员管理、运营管理和文化;(iii) 团队机制、组成和结构特点;(iv) 关系,包括网络、领导力以及个人与其工作和任务的关系。这四个镜头中的每一个都不仅对应于大量文献,而且对应于一套提高公共雇员绩效的管理工具和方法;阐明这些观点之间的联系是研究的重要前沿。我们发现现有的人员管理证据和实践过分强调了正式的管理工具和财务动机,而忽视了如何利用更广泛的动机、建立组织文化以及使用非正式和关系管理实践。我们建议,突出关系在将人与绩效联系起来的作用——关系公共管理——可能证明是研究和实践的一个肥沃的跨学科前沿。我们发现现有的人员管理证据和实践过分强调了正式的管理工具和财务动机,而忽视了如何利用更广泛的动机、建立组织文化以及使用非正式和关系管理实践。我们建议,突出关系在将人与绩效联系起来的作用——关系公共管理——可能证明是研究和实践的一个肥沃的跨学科前沿。我们发现现有的人员管理证据和实践过分强调了正式的管理工具和财务动机,而忽视了如何利用更广泛的动机、建立组织文化以及使用非正式和关系管理实践。我们建议,突出关系在将人与绩效联系起来的作用——关系公共管理——可能证明是研究和实践的一个肥沃的跨学科前沿。
