Certain analytical levels were completely neglected in the traditional personnel management literature. This is changing as the business school discipline of HRM improves the academic basis of the subject. This article addresses. the public policy/societal level of analysis drawing inspiration primarily from recent work by Kochan and McKersie (1989). Two areas are seen to be important for public policy in HRM. labour market regulation and human capital formation. Developments are reviewed in these areas in the New Zealand case.
