dig a bit deeper and apply critical thinking along with our personal belief system of HRM in Public Administration. The aim is to use the readings to assist with thinking outside the box concerning the complexities of public administration and the HRM.

• First, read the Fitzgerald (1992) article.
• Next, select a contemporary question/area to address from the Abel (2017) article or the Sambrook and Stewart (2014) reading. For example you could select something such as the following:
  • "Should public administration identify, and address through policy alternatives 'big' and possibly politically sensitive issues that address the quality of life Americans will enjoy in the future e.g. climate change?" (Abel, 2017)
  • Learning in and outside of work from figure 18.1 in the Sambrook and Stewart (2014) reading.

Based upon the topic you selected above, briefly address the following:

1. Is there anything you read in the 1992 article regarding training and development still relevant today regarding the topic you selected? Please explain.
2. Who and how do you suggest training and development in your organization on the topic you selected from 2a above? For example, will you train managers only, train in a classroom environment, use virtual training, etc.
