Abstract

In a text on leadership and management in health services, human resource management requires a strategic approach. Health is dominated by a large, diverse and highly professionalised workforce. Human resource management is complex and focuses on the performance effects of human resource systems rather than individual human resource practices. The focus is on systems since employees are exposed to an interrelated set of human resource practices which, in turn, are dependent on other multiple sets of systems within the wider health service.
