    Prospects for industrial relations in NHS trusts (1991)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Industrial relations journal 22 (1991), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1468-2338
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This article looks at management's intended strategies in the new self-governing trusts in the National Health Service. It finds that many managers are planning far-reaching changes affecting union recognition and pay systems. Because of the relative weakness of the staff organisations, they are likely to meet little effective opposition.

    On parole: prison service industrial relations (2002)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishers Ltd
    Industrial relations journal 33 (2002), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1468-2338
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: The voluntary and statutory measures to prevent prison officers from taking industrial action are examined in the context of the measures adopted to prevent industrial action by other groups of public servants. The paper concludes that the government does not have an overall strategy on strikes in essential public services, though it applies the most restrictive provisions to prison officers.

    Industrial relations in Civil Service agencies: transition or transformation? (1998)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishers Ltd
    Industrial relations journal 29 (1998), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1468-2338

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Change in four Civil Service agencies is examined here, from their launch in 1988 to the general election in 1997. The extent of that change, judged on five indicators, is found to vary. In three agencies there was transformation but in one agency, where industrial relations remained con-sensual, there was not.

    How Big A Step Is ‘Next Steps’? Industrial Relations Developments In Civil Service Executive Agencies (1993)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Human resource management journal 4 (1993), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1748-8583
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Susan Corby, who is Senior Lecturer in Industrial Relations at the Manchester Metropolitan University, looks at industrial relations developments in the new ‘Next Steps’ Civil Service agencies which carry out the executive functions of government. She argues that the initiative is turning out to be a very large ‘step’ indeed. There is a trend towards agency autonomy on terms and conditions and away from Service-wide prescription. Against this, however, are countervailing pressures. Thus Treasury control for macro-economic reasons sits uneasily with agency autonomy. Collectivist traditions operate against the new individualism and the public services ethos operates against entrepreneurial management.

    No news is good news? Evaluating new pay systems (2005)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Human resource management journal 15 (2005), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1748-8583
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: The evaluation of the impact of changes in reward systems is a common recommendation in the personnel practitioner literature, but little has been written about how and to what extent practitioners themselves evaluate. This article therefore focuses on the activities of HR managers who have introduced new pay systems, not on academic studies of reward system change. Face-to-face interviews were conducted in 15 large, unionised organisations in England between 2000 and 2002. The study found that little formal evaluation of changes in pay and grading systems had been carried out and that managers expressed considerable scepticism about the evaluation process. They relied heavily on informal or anecdotal feedback, and appeared to have little psychological incentive to evaluate. The article suggests explanations for this lack of formal evaluation, drawing on the management decision-making literature, and recommends how changes in reward systems should be evaluated.

    Decentralisation of Pay In the Nhs: Diagnosis and Prognosis (1996)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Human resource management journal 6 (1996), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1748-8583
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This article analyses why some NHS trusts have departed from national arrangements and adopted a local pay regime, while others have not. It finds that the primary determinant is the attitude of management, particularly the chief executive. This is value driven and not a pragmatic response to the labour market. Although a healthy financial position is a necessary condition for a trust pay regime, it is not an adequate causative explanation. Moreover, while management sets the agenda, the pace, manner and extent of change, are tempered by the cohesiveness and vigour of the staff-side and the power of the medical profession. It also suggests that in some trusts more immediately pressing priorities have taken precedence over the government initiative on local pay bargaining, so it will be some time before fully fledged pay systems are adopted.

    Trade unions and local bargaining in the NHS (1997)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Health manpower management 23 (1997), S. 49-54 
    Details
    ISSN: 0955-2065
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Medicine , Economics
    Notes: Examines some effects of NHS Trusts moving away at varying speeds from complex national arrangements for determining terms and conditions towards local bargaining. Notes that while there has been some research into the extent and nature of this decentralization, the impact on trade unions has largely been ignored. This research suggests that, far from marginalizing stewards, senior managers have involved them in joint discussions. Although there has not been a renewal of local trade unionism, there has not been a decline, as membership has held up. Moreover, stewards have coped remarkably well with their enhanced roles, even though faced with the increasing and conflicting demands of their work and their union duties, compounded by problems in obtaining time off work because of lack of cover.

    Notes: The NHS in 1991 launched an equality programme for women, settingeight goals to be achieved by 1994. Shows that at least some of thegoals are not being met and suggests reasons falling into fourcategories. First is the NHS context, including trusts' autonomy whichis incompatible with a national equality plan. Second, there is afailure of implementation, Third, the programme is inherently flawed:Its business rationale is less than convincing to many healthprofessionals who attach a high value to ethics, Fourth, the reasons forfailure relate to all equality programmes for women, including a valuesystem which sees the male career pattern as the norm. Concludes thatmovement towards equality for women in the NHS is only likely to be madeif a different approach to goal setting is adopted.
