This second edition, printed in Englewood Cliffs, N.J., reflects the evolving perspectives on personnel management and human relations during the mid-20th century. Pfiffner, a respected authority in public administration, provides an insightful exploration into the dynamics of managing personnel effectively. This edition is particularly valuable for its historical context and practical insights into the management of human resources. While the book does not include modern updates, it remains a crucial resource for understanding foundational management principles. The hardcover edition is in good condition, though it lacks a dust jacket, and it is not an ex-library copy. This makes it a noteworthy addition for collectors and scholars interested in the history of management thought.
