This dissertation investigates the operation of Human Resource Management (HRM) in the Greek healthcare, with emphasis on the differences and similarities between the Greek public and private healthcare service's sector. HRM was initially analyzed according to its five basic objectives. According to them, a semi-structured questionnaire was formatted and distributed to a public and a private healthcare unit in order to collect the data and interpret the results. This specific comparison indicated a clear tendency which – with the addition of more healthcare units in the research – can establish a nationwide statistical result. The current study constitutes a "rare" quantitative and qualitative measurement of the specific objectives that HRM consists of and offers specific data that might constitute a good basis for further HRM research on the Greek Healthcare System and its parameters.
