Representing a major revision of this comprehensive book, the fourth edition expands the authors' premise that the responsibility for successful human resources administration is one that is shared between central HR personnel and local principals. Numerous instructional activities bolster material that examines research relevant to each topic as it happens today and forecasts competencies that will be required of the HR professional tomorrow. Coverage addresses the primary HR processes of planning, recruitment, selection, induction, development, negotiation, compensation, and organizational climate, with special attention paid in this edition to the contribution effective HR administration can make to improving student achievement. For professionals in the field of Human Resources.

Human Resources for Educators

Human Resources Administration: Personnel Issues and Needs in Education (4th Edition)

This book is used in a principal certification program at a 4 year graduate school. The text is current and covers all of the issues that educators at any point in their careers must muddle through. It offers 3 short case studies at the end of each chapter and a summary of the chapter. Each chapter has clear learning objectives,with tables and charts that are easy to understand.

I would recommend this book to all graduate students in education, as it covers not only school districts, but also issues such as evaluations, strategic planning, collective bargaining and compensation issues.

It tells about the legal authority for states to act on behalf of the community in educating its children in public schools. I believe it is a thorough and cogent book that will assist professors with scenarios about real life work as principals.

Not As Good As Rebore's But Well Put Together

I find this book rewarding, but maybe a bit too undescriptive. For rising school administrator, the need for a well-paced, info-packed textbook on personnel administration looms large.

If you get this one, please get another one if you can.

Human Resource Administration:Personnel Issues and Needs in Education (4th Edition)
~ Written on Sep 19, 2005. 2 out of 2 users found this review helpful.

The textbook is fairly general in its coverage of the issues comfronting human resource administrators in the educational arena today.Moreover, the book is totally lacking in the areas of labor relations, i.e contract negotiations and the interface of human resources with other components of the educational systems such as administrative/business services or educational services.While the book is written by renowned authors from the University of Arizona, their viewpoint is skewed because is appears that most of their information is drawn from their experiences with schools districts in Arizona, a right to work state. The best part of the book is the chapter on human resources adminisration: past present and future.
Overall, the textbook might be useful to someone who was new to the field of human resources and had no prior experience in the education field.
