059 – A critical take on the contribution of HR

Dr. Linda Holbeche

In this episode, I welcome Dr. Linda Holbeche to the podcast. Linda is the author of several books, but her most recent one is entitled Influencing Organizational Effectiveness: A Critical Take on the HR Contribution. The book offers a historical narrative on the changing landscape of work since the 1980s and considers how definitions of organizational effectiveness have changed over time. Linda considers the characteristics and effects of the neo-liberal work culture of new capitalism, and how HRM practices have contributed to shaping this work culture.
