This pioneering book sheds light on people management policies and practices across nine countries in the Southern African region. It explores how public administration and human resource practices have evolved over time to contribute to the region’s socio-economic transformation through the effective management of people in both the private and public sector organizations.Combining theoretical, conceptual and experiential analysis, internationally renowned contributors discuss lived experiences, and the successes and challenges faced when managing employees in the Global South. Chapters include diverse case studies and cross-country comparisons interrogating people management regulatory frameworks and highlighting country specific policies and practices as shaped by specific contexts. They also investigate emerging trends and issues such as DEI, green human resource management, AI, Indigenous knowledge and the Ubuntu principles. Crucially, the book provides illuminating alternative cases of people management policies and practices from the Global North by sharing the experiences of countries in Southern Africa.People Management Policies and Practices in Southern Africa is a valuable toolkit for scholars in the fields of human resource management and public administration, and students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It is also of benefit to human resource practitioners and policymakers, allowing them to appreciate diverse people management policies and practices in the Global South.
