Human Resources in the Arts

Abstract

Arts and cultural institutions are a unique organizational context. Managing creative people within that context requires considerations that are not standard in traditional human resource practice. This book is designed to provide arts and cultural administrators with an overview of the most pressing elements of human resource management for arts and cultural institutions. Written by an arts management professor with an equity-focused human resources consulting firm, this book provides readers with knowledge they can immediately use to solve human resource management issues they will encounter. Infused with practical considerations and real-world examples that are grounded in human resources and industrial psychology research, Human Resources in the Arts will benefit arts management students and practitioners alike.
