The course will present a theoretical and conceptual review of the evolution of public sector industrial relations practices, leading into the advent of Human Resource Management (HRM) in the public sector. This forms a backdrop to an analysis of the more critical and fundamental conceptual and empirical changes from the movement from the traditional employment model to HRM. There will be a sharp focus on the differences between IR and HRM in the public service, the tensions therein and the emerging challenges to public sector unions, managers and change agents.
