Public Sector Organizational Failure : A Study of Collective Denial in the UK National Health Service Journal of Business Ethics In this paper, we show how collective denial, over time, became a process that resided within the fabric of organisational life. The combined impact of assumptions about leadership capability, enculturated professional identities, and organisational loyalty create an environment where a narrative of silence can develop.
How does policy alienation develop? Exploring Street-Level Bureaucrats’ agency in policy context shift in UK telehealthcare Human Relations Policies can fail when frontline staff feel they have limited influence on policy implementation (powerlessness), or that policy has little or no personal meaning (meaninglessness) – they become alienated from the policy. But, how does this alienation develop? In this paper we ask whether policy alienation might be viewed as a process that develops over time: a process that ebbs and flows, interacting with the policy landscape as it shifts, rather than a psychological state.
