Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the Employees Compensation Commission, established by the U.S. government in 1916 to provide compensation for civil employees injured or killed in the line of duty.

The book analyzes the provisions of the act, describing the types of compensation available and the procedures for obtaining it. It also discusses the challenges faced by the commission in administering the act, such as the difficulty of determining the extent of disability and the need to balance the interests of injured employees with the financial constraints of the government.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines organized efforts to improve administrative efficiency in the United States. Motivated by concerns that government authority should not unduly interfere with individual freedom, early thought on administration focused on limiting government and dividing authority. The author explains that as the role of government expanded, especially in the last century, this thinking shifted from limiting government to making government more effective. The book discusses how agencies were created to study administrative issues and propose reforms and provides an overview of how reformers sought to improve personnel, financial, operational, and legislative functions. The author also details how research and official inquiries performed vital functions in this movement, offering valuable insights and specific proposals for change. The book concludes that these efforts have significantly improved the efficiency of government administration and helped to ensure that governments can meet modern demands. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
