Privatisation and changes in human resource management: evidence from Spain

This study explores the changes in human resource management, which take place after a public company's privatisation and proposes a theoretical model of global analysis that covers relevant factors in the different performance areas of management (culture, management style, employee involvement and influence, remuneration, training and development, recruitment and selection, and job security/lay-offs). To confirm the theoretical propositions posed, contemporary multiple case studies are used as a research methodology, with a scientific analytical induction approach through the replication logic (analytical generalisation) and a partially deductive approach.
