The essay examines four of Graham Greene's "administrative" novels.The focus of the article is on three basic perspectives that characterizeGreene's treatment of bureaucratic systems, in general, andpublic sector careerists, in particular. The central theme that Greeneseems to pursue in all of his novels-the persistent human struggle inthe attempt to attain a sense of authentic being-is developed withparticular effectiveness when he focuses on career civil servants andtheir organizational environments. His treatment of the public sectorserves to inform us of the ever-present danger of pursuing aninauthentic career in the service of democracy.

Narrative Forms

Perceptions of government and civil servants are shaped by a variety of factors including popular culture. In the public administration literature the significant role that film and other narrative forms have on citizens’ perceptions is duly noted, and there is ample research on politicians and military heroes in film, but a focus on civil servants remains largely elusive. Among the sparse literature centered on civil servants are studies that employ a case study approach or focus on a few films. In contrast, our research employs a large sample of 150 films. These films comprise the top ten box-office grossing films from 1992 through 2006; therefore we examine the films most likely to have been seen by a majority of movie-watching Americans. More than 60 percent of the films in our sample portray government as bad, inefficient, and incompetent. However, the data on more than 300 civil servants yield intriguing findings. Surprising, in light of the negative depiction of government, is the positive depiction of individual civil servants. Half of civil servants were positively portrayed, and only 40 percent were negatively depicted. Americans may view government negatively, but they see in film positive depictions of how individual civil servants can and do make a positive difference.

And Behavior

What did it mean to be a man in Baroque Europe? The answer was crucial for men aspiring to success, whether in everyday society or in the rarefied culture of the court. While the concept of manliness was defined by clothing and articulated in conduct books, it was most clearly demonstrated in portraits. Portraits involved not just likenesses but the carefully arranged iconography of clothes and accessories, how they were worn, and their associations. The masculine ideal shifted perpetually from looseness to restraint, from sensitivity to strength, from meditation to sociability. A survey of portraits over a 150-year period reveals how the civil servants of Europe, equipped with their knowledge of fashion and behavior and sustained by the skills of artists, achieved a complex, dignified version of the public masculine self.

Heart Rate Measurement

The interest in contactless or remote heart rate measurement has been steadily growing in healthcare and sports applications. Contactless methods involve the utilization of a video camera and image processing algorithms. Recently, deep learning methods have been used to improve the performance of conventional contactless methods for heart rate measurement. After providing a review of the related literature, a comparison of the deep learning methods whose codes are publicly available is conducted in this paper. The public domain UBFC dataset is used to compare the performance of these deep learning methods for heart rate measurement. The results obtained show that the deep learning method PhysNet generates the best heart rate measurement outcome among these methods, with a mean absolute error value of 2.57 beats per minute and a mean square error value of 7.56 beats per minute.

The Government

Purpose This paper aims to examine different hypotheses concerning the effects of public service motivation (PSM) and other attitudinal or institutional dimensions on organizational performance (OP). Specifically, based on the experience of Chinese provincial governments, this study provides new evidence about how PSM may affect OP. Design/methodology/approach This study collected data from a survey of different provincial government departments in Sichuan Province, Hubei Province, Hunan Province and Chongqing Municipality in 2011. Using data from 761 respondents, Pearson correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to explore the relationships between related factors. Findings PSM, job satisfaction, affective commitment and job involvement have statistically significant effects on OP, and these results are consistent with the findings of previous researches that PSM positively affected OP at a significant level. The results suggest that, if civil servants have a strong PSM, the performance of their organizations will be high. Research limitations/implications Future research should look for additional factors that affect OP, comparing employees’ perceptions of an organization’s performance with objective data to determine whether, and to what degree, subjective measures of performance are valid measures of OP in the public sector. Practical implications In the process of improving government performance, it is significant to give attention to the government employees’ mentality. The government training and promotion system should encourage civil servants to care about the public interest. A more flattened organization should be considered as part of the next steps in government reform, and more opportunities should be provided to involve more government employees in policy making. Originality/value This study helps to clarify the effects of individual factors of PSM on OP in China in a tightly controlled bureaucratic environment, where related data are hardly accessible.

The Impact

This article focuses upon gender differences in the satisfaction with career opportunities of civil servants in the Netherlands. Women have become better represented at all levels in the Dutch civil service in recent years, but they are still underrepresented in the higher level positions. Nevertheless, women are slightly more satisfied with their career opportunities than men are and they seem to be increasingly so. Their relatively positive evaluation of extrinsic aspects of their work situation is one of the explanations of this finding, as is their higher intrinsic work motivation compared to that of men. It is suggested that the career orientations and aspirations of women better fit the changing context of career formation in the Dutch civil service and the accompanying new psychological contract. Points for practitioners The Dutch civil service has set ambitious targets with respect to the representation of women at all levels in the service, but insight into the determinants of women’s careers in the public sector is still very scarce. The findings in this article show that there are gender differences in the weighting of intrinsic and extrinsic aspects of the work in evaluating one’s career opportunities. Besides, the article may assist human resource management practitioners in anticipating the impact of changing career trajectories on the career satisfaction of male and female civil servants.

La formación de empleados públicos ha sido objeto de una atención marginal. El objeto de este estudio es analizar hasta qué punto la aprobación del EBEP y los instrumentos de innovación de la gestión de personas allí recogidos suponen realmente un cambio de paradigma en la manera de comprender la formación de empleados públicos. La política de formación de empleados públicos tiene un carácter transversal y tiene, asimismo, una naturaleza instrumental. El presente trabajo desarrolla un análisis integral de la formación en el marco del cambio de paradigma que representa el EBEP en la gestión de recursos humanos, poniendo en valor la importancia que la formación tiene para articular políticas selectivas, la carrera profesional o la evaluación del desempeño en el empleo público. Superar el actual «modelo agotado» de formación exige ver la misma como un deber o responsabilidad del empleado público. Enplegatu publikoen prestakuntza baztertu samar egon da. Lan honek, hain zuzen, aztertzen du noraino aldatuko ote duten paradigma, enplegatu publikoen prestakuntza ulertzeko moduan, Enplegatu Publikoaren Oinarrizko Estatutua onartzeak eta han jasotzen diren pertsonen kudeaketa berritzeko tresnek. Enplegatu publikoak prestatzeko politika zeharkakoa izateaz gain, instrumentala ere bada. Azterlan honetan oso-osoan aztertzen da enplegatu publikoen prestakuntza, aipatu estatutuak baliabideen kudeaketari dagokionez dakarren paradigma-aldaketaren ikuspegitik. Halaber, baloratu egiten da prestakuntzak duen garrantzia, hautaketa-politikak, karrera profesionala edo enplegu publikoko lanaren ebaluaketa antolatzeko orduan. Gaur egungo prestakuntza-eredua «agortuta» dago. Beraz, gainditu beharra dago, eta, horretarako, ezinbestekoa da enplegatu publikoaren eginbehar edo erantzukizun moduan hartzea prestakuntza. The civil servants¿ training has been subject of marginal attention. The aim of this study is to analyzse to what extent the passing of the Basic Statute for the Civil Servants and the instruments of innovation for the personal administration therein do really imply a change in the paradigm of understanding the civil servants¿ training. The policy on the civil servant¿s training has a transversal character and also an instrumental nature. This present work develops an integral study on the training within the framework of the change of paradigm which entails the EBEP for the management of human resources, by enhacing the importance training has in order to articulate selection policies, the professional career or the evalutaion of the performance of the public employment. Overcoming the current «outdated model» of training calls for considering it as a duty or responsibility by the civil servant.

Governmental Functions

No governmental functions are traditionally more suspect than those relating to public information. National legislators always demur at the public relations work of civil servants. They inevitably assume (at times, with good reason) that appropriating funds to inform people about the performance of government agencies only helps to preserve the bureaucracy and to create and nurture a public which ultimately will bring pressure to bear upon the legislature itself.
