Work values and the job characteristics - job outcome relationship

The importance and achievement of work values were found to be significant variables in the job characteristics-job outcome relationship when investigated with a sample of 117 correctional nurses. Data collected via mailed questionnaires were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression. The results indicated that the achievement of intrinsic work values was found to mediate the relationship between job characteristics and internal work motivation and satisfaction, adding considerable explained variance to each of the job outcomes. In addition, the importance of the same intrinsic work values moderated the overall relationship as well as the relationship between job characteristics and achievement of work values. The importance of work values did not, however, moderate the achievement of work values-job outcome relationship as predicted. The practical implications for correctional administrators and nurses, as well as implications for further research were discussed.

Perceptions of job worth

The present study was conducted to evaluate perceptions of the importance of various factors that may determine the wage or salary level in jobs. Items describing various job characteristics reflecting the factors of Skill, Effort, Responsibility, Working Conditions, and Organizational characteristics were rated by 510 subjects from a variety of organizations. Results indicated that the items did not cluster into the five categories noted above. Instead, three factors were identified and labeled Job Complexity, Accountability, and Work Context. There were few gender or occupational differences in the ratings of the items. The implications of the results for the development of equitable wage and salary systems are discussed.

Is Merit on the Agenda? Approaches to Recruitment and Promotion in Australian Organisations

Employment on the basis of merit is the foundation of Australia’s equal opportunity legislation, beginning with the Affirmative Action (Equal Opportunity for Women) Act 1986, and continuing through the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Act 1999 to the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012, all of which require organisations with more than 100 employees to produce an organisational program promoting employment equity for women (WGEA 2014a; Strachan, Burgess & Henderson 2007). The issue of merit was seen as critically important to the objectives of the original 1986 Act and the Affirmative Action Agency produced two monographs in 1988 written by Clare Burton: Redefining Merit (Burton 1988a) and Gender Bias in Job Evaluation (Burton 1988b) which provided practical advice. Added to this, in 1987 the Australian Government Publishing Service published Women’s Worth: Pay Equity and Job Evaluation in Australia (Burton, Hag & Thompson 1987). The equity programs set up under the 1986 legislation aimed to ‘eliminate discriminatory employment practices and to promote equal employment opportunities for women’ and this was ‘usually understood to mean that the merit principle forms the basis of appointment to positions and for promotion’ (Burton 1988a, p. 1).

Sistemas de Avaliação Profissional no âmbito da Contratualização da Gestão na Atenção Primária à Saúde

O objeto desse estudo foi a análise dos processos de avaliação de desempenho e contratualização da gestão para profissionais de saúde na Atenção Primária à Saúde. Para tanto, após revisão de literatura nacional e internacional optou-se por um estudo de caso em Portugal, com a finalidade de conhecer a trajetória da reforma da atenção primária no país, sua estrutura organizacional e as ferramentas de gestão utilizadas para avaliação de desempenho nas Unidades de Saúde Familiar (USF). Esse estudo possibilitou o aprofundamento das discussões sobre os processos que vem sendo instituídos para atenção primária no Brasil, como o programa nacional de melhoria do acesso e qualidade na atenção básica (PMAQ- AB). Desta forma, os objetivos do estudo foram: analisar o contexto geral e as condicionalidades de implantação do sistema de avaliação profissional na APS, identificar os fatores facilitadores e limitantes da gestão, identificar as ferramentas de monitoramento e a percepção dos dirigentes sobre o processo. Trata-se de estudo com abordagem qualitativa, de natureza descritiva, com investigação narrativa, bibliográfica e documental. A pesquisa de campo em Portugal foi realizada através de entrevistas com aplicação de questionário semi-estruturado aos diretores executivos, coordenadores de USF, representantes do conselho clínico e unidade de apoio à gestão nos Agrupamentos de Centros de Saúde (ACES) selecionados. Como resultados, o trabalho aponta que uma nova estrutura de coordenação das unidades de saúde com a descentralização dos serviços, requerendo maior autonomia por parte dos gestores e profissionais de saúde, com enfoque no planejamento estratégico, aliados ao fortalecimento da capacidade de gestão dos dirigentes e regulamentação de um sistema de avaliação, tem contribuído para fortalecer o gerenciamento na APS. Aponta-se como fatores positivos do sistema de avaliação profissional, a redução na despesa pública com a utilização da gestão por objetivos, introdução da governança clínica, o trabalho em equipe, e uma maior responsabilização e motivação dos profissionais. Conclui-se que as experiências com sistemas de avaliação profissional e contratualização na APS apresentam um conjunto de recomendações que poderão beneficiar a evolução da reforma e melhoria do PMAQ no Brasil, considerando-se ainda sua fase inicial.

Hallintoelinten oikeudenmukainen palkitseminen - toimialavertailu osuustoiminnallisissa organisaatioissa

Työn tarkoituksena oli lähteä tutkimaan palkitsemisen, vaativuuden ja tehtävien eroavaisuuksia kolmen osuustoiminnallisen organisaation hallintoelinten välillä. Tavoitteena oli selvittää, miten palkitsemisen horisontaalista oikeudenmukaisuutta voitaisiin kehittää osuustoiminnallisten organisaatioiden hallintoelimissä. Tutkimus toteutettiin kvantitatiivisena kyselylomaketutkimuksena, ja analysointimenetelmänä käytettiin regressioanalyysiä. Tutkimuksen teoreettinen viitekehys koostui palkitsemisesta ja sen oikeudenmukaisuudesta keskittyen horisontaaliseen ulottuvuuteen, työn vaativuudesta sekä aiempien tutkimusten perusteella palkitsemiseen vaikuttavista tekijöistä muun muassa rakenteen, toimialan ja strategian näkökulmista. Tutkimuksessa havaittiin, että tilaajaorganisaatiossa X palkkiot olivat vertailuorganisaatiota Y ja Z korkeammat. Erot vaativuuden ja tehtävien osalta eivät olleet yhtä suuria kuin palkkioissa, mutta organisaatiossa X nämäkin olivat pääasiassa korkeammalla tasolla. Regressioanalyysissä kävi ilmi, että työn vaativuus selittää suurimman osan palkitsemisen kertymästä ja muut tilastollisesti merkittävät selittävät muuttujat olivat huomattavasti vähäisempiä. Organisaation X korkeamman palkkiotason voitiin nähdä johtuvan erilaisesta palkkiorakenteesta sekä siitä, että se otti palkitsemisessa organisaation koon huomioon; palkkiot vaihtelivat huomattavasti enemmän alueorganisaatioiden kesken kuin organisaatiossa Y ja Z. Johtopäätöksenä voidaan sanoa, että työn vaativuusarviointi palkkioiden horisontaalista oikeudenmukaisuutta arvioitaessa on merkittävimmässä asemassa. Muiden tarkasteltujen muuttujien osalta tulokset eivät olleet aivan odotetun kaltaisia tai täysin yhdenmukaisia aiempien tutkimusten kanssa, vaikka samansuuntaisiakin havaintoja saatiin. Työn tärkein anti oli kuitenkin työn vaativuusarvioinnin tärkeyden havaitseminen hallintoelintyön palkitsemisen yhteydessä horisontaalisella tasolla.
