| Summary: | This book focuses on the relationship between health sector and industrial relations reforms and their impact on employment relations in Australia since 1990. The book adds to the international literature on New Public Management with a distinctively Australian focus and synthesises the impact of health sector and industrial relations reforms on health care management and work practices. It illustrates that New Public Management practices are implemented creatively at both macro and micro levels. In doing so, it provides context to the changing work practices in the health care sector. Each chapter presents an account by leading researchers in the field of industrial relations, health care management or sociology, providing a cross-disciplinary account of changes in the sector. This new research brings together topical areas of interest, including changing work practices and managerial approaches across both clinical and non-clinical areas. It provides useful background material for academics and practicing health care managers. |
