Controlling personnel: Management and motive in the transformation of the Czech Enterprise
研究了四家捷克前国有企业转型中人事管理的地位变化，包括结构重组、管理层换血和人力资源管理实践发展，揭示了高层管理者（多为前官员）的动机与策略。
The paper examines the position and function of personnel management during the transformation of four former state enterprises in the Czech Republic. The personnel department had become a strong symbol of the pre-1989 regime because of its communist associations, and the new enterprise managers found it necessary to exercise control over its development during the enterprise transition to privatized status. The paper reports on three processes of change: the structural re-positioning of the function; the re-staffing of its management; and the development of human resource management (HRM) ideas and practices. It is argued that underlying these changes in personnel were the motives and strategies of the senior managers, many of whom were surviving nomenklatura whose future managerial careers depended on successful enterprise transformation.
