SPONS AGENCY National Science Foundation, Arlington, VA. PUB DATE 1996-04-12 NOTE 15p.; Working paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Indiana Political Science Association (Terre Haute, IN, April 12, 1996). PUB TYPE Reports Research (143) Speeches/Meeting Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Administrator Attitudes; Administrator Education; Course Content; Educational Needs; Government Employees; Higher Education; *Management Development; *Masters Programs; National Surveys; *Professional Training; Program Effectiveness; *Public Administration; Skill Development; *State Officials; Training Objectives; Workshops ABSTRACT Views of state public administrators about management education and training needs were investigated, as were administrator views concerning short-term management development workshops. Data was drawn from responses to questionnaires mailed to 5,980 state administrators who were selected from a national survey and from random samples using lists provided by states, state-supported programs, and universities; respondent profile data are included. Results suggest that respondents regard as important the topics addressed by both Masters of Public Administration (MPA) programs and by Certified Public Manager (CPM) programs, which are government-supported management training programs. The MPA respondents cited as most important learning about organizational behavior, budget operations, and political institutions. CPM respondents cited problem-solving techniques, strategic planning, and performance management as most important. Responses of the MPA and CPM respondents were not compared because the two groups had not been given a dissimilar set of items. The majority of the CPM respondents reported finding their training only somewhat valuable in increasing their effectiveness.

Hobby Center for Public Service Texas State University San Marcos, Texas 78666 512/245-3453 [email protected] and Ms. Marilyn K. Balanoff, Program Faculty Office of Distance & Extended Learning (ODEL) Texas State University San Marcos, Texas 78666 512/245-2507 [email protected] ABSTRACT PREPARED FOR THE 2015 CONFERENCE OF THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOLS AND INSTITUTES OF ADMINISTRATION (IASIA) WORKING GROUP 1: EDUCATION AND TRAINING PROGRAMME: PARIS, FRANCE JULY 6 – 10, 2015 This abstract builds on a series of papers about the Certified Public Manager® (CPM) Program that were delivered at previous IASIA Conferences in Lake Como Italy, Warsaw Poland & Rome Italy. These papers generated significant interest in how public management certification programs could provide a vehicle for the professional development and education of the public sector and nonprofit sector workforces around the world. Now that the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA) has created a new Section called the American Academy of Certified Public Manager s® (CPM) Program (AACPM) and that Section has begun a collaboration with ASPA’s International Chapter and ASPA’s Section for Public Management Practice (SPMP) the mechanisms are in place for Cer t ified Public Manager® (CPM) Program s to be established in a number of countries around the world. One of the goals of the authors of this paper is to review the potential of the National Certified Public Manager® (CPM) Consortium and ASPA’s AACPM & SPMP Sections and ASPA’s International Chapter to link together to provide high quality professional development and educational services (using CPM Programs) for ASPA’s international practitioner and academic members.
