Abstract
Creation of autonomous bodies backed by New Public Management is not a new
phenomenon in Pakistan rather is a notion opposing traditional bureaucratic
structure and system in Pakistan. Therefore, there is a strong tendency that either
this system would be resisted by bureaucracy, or it would be changed in a way
that would support the current status quo. Normatively, these bodies should have
autonomy in their functions, including human resource management functions.
The purpose of this research study is to assess the human resource autonomy and
find out the differences in these HRM practices between parent department of
Information & Culture, Government of the Punjab and its respective provincial
autonomous bodies. Qualitative research design was used to analyze the data
collected through in-depth interviews with the key respondents. Results of the
study indicate that at provincial level specifically at the autonomous bodies of
Department of Information and Culture, Government of the Punjab, the
international trend of agencification has not yet fully achieved its most important
intended goal of having autonomy, specifically in its human resource practices.
