A dramatic contractualisation and individualisation of the public sector has occurred within the last decade and a half in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Values relating to management prerogative, privatisation, and corporate values and corporatisation of the public sector, which are studied in this book, continue to be influential on contemporary public sector employment. These developments are against a backdrop of changes in the industrial relations regulatory framework, particularly in the mid-1990s and well into the twenty-first century. This book explores this transformation of public sector employment.
