摘要:Change is more pervasive in the Australian Public Service than ever. Taking the number of vacancy advertisements as an indication, the more stable periods of 2008 and 2009 were followed by vast expansions in 2010 and 2011, but suddenly downturned into drastic cuts in 2012 and 2013. Public service middle managers have been singled out as the most susceptible to organizational resizing since the days of business process re-engineering movement in the 1980s and 1990s, when hierarchical organizational structures were significantly flattened. This paper investigates the longitudinal trends for middle managers (Executive Level positions) in the APS, in terms of employment vacancies, appointments, and retirements.
