| Abstract: | This article discusses the results of a case study research conducted in three Australian public hospitals and investigating the strength of their HR systems. It approaches the issue from the perspectives of senior, middle, and line managers, and HR practitioners. The findings of this study revealed a vital role of the CEO in providing HR legitimacy, leadership and resources to form a distinctive HR system, and in nurturing group consensus among senior executives on the role of HR in the organization. Senior executives in turn have an important role in translating consistent HR messages throughout the management hierarchy and providing lower level managers with guidance. |
