Explorations on the value profiles of current and prospective public organisation employees in China are scarce. The current study investigates this critical issue. Data were collected via a questionnaire from graduate students enrolled in a school of public administration in China. The sample consisted of both full‐time students who were prepared to pursue their careers in public organisations upon graduation, and part‐time students who were mostly public organisation employees. Multivariate analyses of covariance (MANCOVAs) and analyses of covariance (ANCOVAs) were used for data analysis. The results show that there are consistent value preferences among all students, and some noteworthy patterns in the relationship between value profiles and demographic and work‐related features. The results also shed light on whether a unique value set could differentiate various types of organisations, and demonstrate that employees in the core public service perceive higher level of value congruence than those in parapublic sectors. These findings provide implications and insights for the management practices in public organisations.

“…Clearly, healthcare identities are heterogeneous and vary according to speciality and national context, yet there remains little attention to how different sectors shape these identities. It is often suggested that public and private sector organisations (and identities) are distinct, with disparities in ownership, employment, and management (Boyne 2002, Stackman et al . 2006).…”

Healthcare identities at the crossroads of service modernisation: the transfer of NHS clinicians to the independent sector?

Health policies increasingly support private businesses to take an active role in the organisation and delivery of public healthcare services. For the English NHS, this is exemplified by the introduction of Independent Sector Treatment Centres. A number of these facilities involve the wholesale secondment of NHS clinicians to the private sector which, we suggest, raises important questions about the identities of healthcare professionals accustomed to working in the public sector. Our paper investigates this transition highlighting three prominent discontinuities in clinical work: the ethos of private sector ownership, new lines of authority and fragmented relationships. Drawing on Giddens, we examine how clinicians experience and interpret these changes and how they keep their biographical 'narrative going'. The 'pioneers' interpreted the independent sector as an opportunity to re-invigorate their practice through new roles, relationships and higher quality care; the 'guardians' as an opportunity to replicate and protect the customs and standards of the NHS in the private sector; whilst the 'marooned' longed to return to the NHS. Our study illustrates how the sectoral context can shape healthcare identities, and how contemporary reforms aimed at promoting partnerships across public and private sectors can have profound implications for clinicians.
