文章认为，最近公共服务部门的重组为地方当局、行政机构和医院信托等用人单位在雇佣关系的处理方式上提供了新的重要选择。它提出了一个用于评估这一战略选择实施方式的模型。该模型很大程度上借鉴了在多部门公司的类似分析背景下开发的框架，表明这种重组明确是基于私营部门的组织形式。因此，它着眼于在一系列外部影响和约束的背景下，与组织目的、结构和控制相关的一阶和二阶战略选择如何与雇佣关系决策相关。研究了三个战略性雇佣关系决策：管理风格；公司人事职能的作用和结构；以及讨价还价和协商的水平。本文利用三年研究项目初始阶段的材料，介绍了这些领域的选择趋势。与此同时，它认为，根据这些发现，用于分析私营部门发展的框架需要完善和扩展，以考虑到特定的公共部门特征和情况。
The article argues that the recent restructuring of the public service sector has provided employing units–local authorities, executive agencies and hospital trusts–with new and important choices in approaches to employment relations. It presents a model for use in the evaluation of the way this strategic choice has been exercised. Suggesting that such restructuring has explicitly been based upon private sector organizational forms, the model draws heavily upon a framework developed in the context of similar analysis in multi-divisional companies. It therefore looks at how first- and second-order strategic choices linked to organizational purpose, structure and control relate to employment relations decisions within the context of a range of external influences and constraints. Three strategic employment relations decisions are examined:management styles; the role and structure of the corporate personnel function; and the level of bargaining and consultation. Using material from the initial stages of a three-year research project, the article presents trends in the exercise of choice in these areas. At the same time, it argues that, in the light of these findings, the framework used to analyse private sector developments needs to be refined and extended to account for particular public sector characteristics and circumstances.
