title = {Personnel Departmental Power: Realities from the UK Higher Education Sector},
year = {2009},
note = {The status of the Personnel function is subject to an ongoing debate
in which attention has largely shifted from department to individual
practitioner level. There remains, however, significant functional
power in organisational structures, particularly in more
institutionalised contexts. Aimed at the departmental level, the
higher education state funding council for England (HEFCE) introduced
an initiative to improve Personnel departments in Higher Education.
However, survey evidence confirms the continuation of the low power
position of the department. An exploration of the empirical data
highlights why: the routine rigidity of power in organisational
structures, the fragmentation of departmental power, and Personnel
role ambiguity.},
