This volume analyzes changing work and employment in British public
services. In doing so, it begins by critically engaging with
debates around the ideological, regulatory and social drivers of
change, and their impact on workforce composition, service ethos,
equality, and the role of trade unions. It then analyzes employment
relationships within fluid organisational boundaries, tackling the
key issues of partnership and trust, pay and rewards and employment
security. The concluding section reflects on public service
productivity and its comparative context.
This collection provides a critical and international analysis of
the public sector through theoretical debates, empirical issues and
regional studies. It begins by reassessing the public choice
theoretical paradigm, the implications of New Public Management,
the current crisis of democracy and ways of mediating market
pressures. It then investigates recent developments in ethics,
service provision, industrial relations and the nature of work,
before examining critical issues in countries and regions from both
the developed and developing world, and reflecting on the way
forward.
