Human resource management (HRM) in the public sector: Does it work?
Thursday 6 May, 2-4 PM
There is a substantial literature indicating private sector firms and their employees can benefit from various HR practices and intensive HRM. Concerns regarding productivity in the public sector have led to government initiatives to promote these practices in the public sector. Drawing on recent papers and current research Alex will show that some of these practices can be beneficial for public sector employers while others are not. In contrast these practices tend not to be associated with positive outcomes for public sector employees. Alex will also consider the implications of these findings for public policy.
This event is being delivered in partnership with the PrOPEL Hub - a major new initiative designed to support improvements in productivity through enhanced workplace practice and employee engagement. This seminar forms part of PrOPEL’s International Research series which showcases the latest research on the role of workplaces in driving engagement and productivity in a post COVID-19 world.
