Kyriaki Papadopoulou
Abstract
In contemporary socio-economic conditions, both private and public organizations focus on higher growth rates. This can be achieved through streamlining the human resource management in the organizations to enhance productivity. In this respect, it is essential to understand the prevailing HRM practices and their impact on the public and private employees of Greece. The current study to enable the transition of firms’ effective and flexible organizations undertakes a comparative analysis of the prevailing HRM practices. The comparison of the perception of employees reveals similarities in terms of internal, HRM, and leadership factors. While, there is a difference in opinion for the factors of external, leadership, employee commitment, ownership culture and people, policy plus the process which is observed among private and public sector employees.
