Abstract :
[en] Many attempts at modernisation have been launched in public organisations during the last decade, focused on a renewal of HR policies and devices. Via an in-depth exploration of three case studies in Belgium, this paper develops an analytical framework likely to explain their contrasting performances. Our main hypothesis is that a lack of coherence (a) within the content itself of HRM-based reforms, (b) between this content and the context in which it is introduced, or (c) the process by which it is implemented, could explain a large part of the problems encountered. The paper also suggests some key recommendations for the management of HRM- based reforms in the public sphere.
