A chapter in The People Business, 2005, pp 149-151 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Compare and contrast people who work in the public and private sectors. An old chestnut? An opportunity only for creating stereotypes, straw men and bogus distinctions? Or a useful HR exercise in deciding why individuals choose certain jobs, the effect those jobs have on them, and whether, indeed, they are in the right sector for them?
