• Abstract:
  This project examines how state departments of transportation understand and implement ; the human resources management practice of succession planning. Past research ; examining succession planning in the public sector has identified numerous potential ; impediments that government agencies must overcome; however, little evidence exists ; documenting the degree to which these impediments impact state departments of ; transportation. As departments of transportation employ large numbers of in-demand ; engineers, some states have developed comprehensive succession plans to integrate ; recruitment, performance management, training, and retention practices. This project ; highlights two particular impediments – specific human resources management ; educational experiences of agency employees and the organizational culture of agencies ; on long-term workforce planning efforts – that agencies might consider rectifying.
