The french research community's perspectives on new public human resource management

Abstract

OECD analyses show that France has been slow in introducing the new Human Resource Management (HRM) model; however, the few changes that have been made have still aroused controversy. There is a substantial body of empirical research showing that the newly introduced tools and initiatives have often had little effect on HRM practices, and external analyses show that progress in public-sector HRM reform in France has been imperceptible compared with the situation in many other countries. At the same time, the managerial philosophy on which some new HRM processes are based is increasingly being challenged. This paper summarizes current views on HRM reform in France and presents the results of a survey of public-sector management researchers that highlights the two main French perspectives on HRM reform.
