Abstract: | Relatively little theorising has taken place to advance our understanding of why particular roles are adopted and what factors may enable or constrain the development of a strategic role. This article analyses the role of the HR function in six, matched-pair case studies in UK public sector organisations. In this article it is argued that the specific nature of the role played by the HR function can be better explained by a combination of isomorphic factors alongside strategic choice, social capital and co-evolution, leading to unique solutions developing over time in individual organisations. |
