Abstract
The effective management of the public health workforce, in the context of decentralisation
and the District Health System, is pivotal to the delivery of primary health care and,
ultimately, improved health. This research investigates the phenomena of human resource
management in the public health sector, focussing on the factors influencing human resource
management (HRM), the internal alignment within the HRM Programme and external
alignment with the strategic objectives of the organisation. It takes a frontline perspective to
understand how the phenomenon is experienced in a decentralised District Health System.
