Perspectives from the Senior Executive Service

In: Australian journal of public administration, Band 59, Heft 2, S. 89-94

Abstract

Much of the research and scholarship on public administration relies heavily on an 'outsider' perspective. There is very little 'insider' discussion on the priorities, concerns and personal constructs which influence senior executives' careers. This small qualitative study captures the perspectives of members of the Senior Executive Service (SES) within Australian public sector agencies and identifies key issues for them as senior executives.
