Professor Donald C. Bellomy participated as a keynote speaker for the Global HR Conference
The NHI held the '2022 Global Public HR Conference' in parallel, both online and offline. HR experts in and outside of Korea, including those from international organizations, governments, public organizations, and universities, participated in the conference.
Professor Bellomy offered a presentation about The Looming Post-Covid Confrontation with History: From Frying-Pan to Fire?
As the global Covid crisis that necessarily shaped a significant share of the recent challenges and goals of public administration and public human resources management finally begins to fade, one likely result will be to renew and extend the profession’s confrontations with history. These confrontations will in all probability center on five lingering issues that have demarcated, sustained, and at times constrained public administration. The five issues emerged in roughly the following historical sequence: 1) the association of civil service with the immediate needs and policy choices of central governmental power; 2) the relation of public administration to democratization; 3) the professionalization of the civil service in terms of meritocracy; 4) the built-in tension between the “public” and individualism as the two concepts see-sawed in their ascendancy within the popular consciousness; 5) the growing impact of identity politics since the 1960s.
