A change management perspective on public sector cutback management: towards a framework for analysis
本文从变革管理视角出发,构建了一个分析框架,将削减相关变革的背景、内容、过程、结果和领导力联系起来,帮助公共管理者理解如何在财政危机中实施组织削减。
The financial crisis forces public managers to implement cutbacks within their organization. We argue that adopting a change management perspective contributes to our understanding of cutback management by adding a focus on managerial behaviour regarding cutback-related organizational changes. Relying on change management literature, this paper develops a framework for the analysis of cutback management connecting the context, content, process, outcomes and leadership of cutback-related change. From this it follows that managers can be positioned at the intersection of various imperatives, both externally and internally, such as their political leaders and their own subordinates. A research agenda is proposed.
