Abstract

Examines the role of the personnel function in the selection of doctors. Reveals a "clerk of works" role, marginal to the decision-making process. Considers the implications of such a role for effective and fair selection practice. Develops a model of "weak" personnel management which illustrates the factors limiting the power and influence of personnel specialists, both in recruitment and in other areas. Considers the impact of an interface with professional staff on the nature of personnel roles.
