   Attracting and maintaining a highly motivated federal workforce is the topic of this study, which focuses on the Presidential Management Intern Program. Johnson examines the program and its interns from 1978-1984, citing their current employment status; discussing the met and unmet expectations that led the interns to either stay in federal service or to leave; and drawing larger conclusions that can be applied to building a federal workforce in other areas. Among the subjects addressed are the viability of the internship model as a recruitment vehicle and the role played by the denigration of public service.

    The book begins with a treatment of the role of science and the nature of theory and research. A discussion of the early origins and history of organizational behavior follows. This is the most comprehensive coverage of how organizational behavior emerged and grew. It presents and evaluates the first generation theorists, whose work began during the first 20 years. The subject matter covered is motivation, leadership, and organizational decision making. The institutional culture of organizational behavior is discussed and a vision for the future of the field is stated. Here the early history and the evidence from the theories are brought together in an effort to assess the identity of organizational behavior and where it might be headed.
