Institutional employment relations have been reshaped through a decline in collective bargaining and union membership, a rise in employer prerogative favouring individualised and flexible forms of employment relations. We address the dearth of research on individual employers and their associations, their attitudes and behaviours and how these impact on employment relations issues and trends. Kauffman, B.E. (2004).

These forms vary in the extent to which they are at an arm’slength from Ministers, how they are governed, and the expectations that apply. Public Service departments are close to Ministers (part of the legal Crown), while Crown entities are stand-alone corporate bodies and operate at arm’s-length. Most Crown entities are part of the State services, but Tertiary Education Institutions are part of the wider State sector. The wider public sector also includes local government and district health boards.
