Abstract

Legislation change is ‘easy’ compared with changing organisational cultures, which have the most powerful influence over whether rhetoric about a ‘spirit of service’ will translate into realities for citizens and political leaders. The competing values framework, developed in reaction to one-size-fits-all models of private sector management, helps show the scale of the change being sought with the proposed Public Service Act.
