Abstract

This article is based on a survey of personnel practitioners in Irish organisations, aimed at establishing their role and status within the company for which they worked. The principal findings from the survey suggest that the majority of personnel practitioners are afforded a top management role, and feel that they are heavily involved in strategic planning decisions within their organisations. The major factor which led to differences in the role of personnel was the national origin of the company which owned the site at which these individuals worked.
