UMA VISÃO BASEADA EM RECURSOS COM DIRECIONAMENTO ESTRATÉGICO: UMA PROPOSTA ÀS INSTITUIÇÕES DE SAÚDE HOSPITALARES PÚBLICAS

Este trabalho investiga a utilização da Visão Baseada em Recursos, tendo por objetivo propor um modelo de gestão de pessoas que atenda a exigibilidade da qualidade de prestação de serviços à saúde. São observadas as relações de trabalho nesses serviços nas diversas modalidades, a sistematização do conhecimento sobre os elementos que figuram na gestão de pessoas e a verificação da necessidade de Gestão Operacional e Estratégica de Pessoas para trabalhadores das Instituições de Saúde Hospitalares Públicas. Trata-se de pesquisa de natureza empírico-exploratória, apoiada em múltiplos casos de hospitais públicos, entrevistando e registrando fatos observados nos locais pesquisados, aplicando-se o Protocolo de Observações. Para atingir o objetivo principal, são utilizados os fundamentos das obras de Marras (2001; 2003 e 2005): Relações Trabalhistas no Brasil: administração e estratégia; Administração de Recursos Humanos: do operacional ao estratégico; e Gestão de Pessoas em Empresas Inovadoras, respectivamente. Além das observações participantes, utilizaram-se entrevistas e questionários com os usuários e profissionais dos hospitais, com instrumentos adaptados para o contexto da instituição e dado tratamento estatístico para análise dos resultados, que se apresentam em tabelas para melhor visualização dos dados e análise. A Gestão de Pessoas nas ISHP permanecem no modelo tradicional e longe de qualquer movimento que possa torná-la estratégica. O nível de satisfação dos pacientes para com os profissionais de saúde é ótimo, mas quanto aos recursos e infra-estrutura, é baixo. Os profissionais de saúde na quase sua totalidade trabalham por vocação, espírito de humanização e por acharem gratificante, embora o nível de insatisfação com a remuneração recebida seja elevado.(AU)

Efficient management of health centres human resources in Zambia

This study uses Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to estimate the degree of technical, allocative and cost efficiency in individual public and private health centres in Zambia; and to identify the relative inefficiencies in the use of various inputs among individual health centers. About 83% of the 40 health centres were technically inefficient; and 88% of them were both allocatively and cost inefficient. The privately owned health centers were found to be more efficient than public facilities. © 2006 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.

Management of human resources in foreign firms operating in India:the role of HR in country-specific headquarters

Multinational companies (MNCs) are known to establish country-specific headquarters (CSHQs) or centres to create and transfer knowledge in order to better co-ordinate and control their operations, and also to share knowledge between affiliates both within and outside the country. This paper highlights the role played by the human resource (HR) function in Indian CSHQs. The analysis is based on interview and survey data from senior HR specialists in 74 foreign firms operating CSHQs in India. The study identifies the range of services that the Indian CSHQs' HR function provides to the local business units of the MNC. A high level of freedom from the MNCs' corporate headquarters to both develop and implement HR policies and practices is found. The CSHQ is found to be instrumental in the creation and dissemination of HR-related learning. The study also identifies the problems faced by the HR function operating with a CSHQ and the actions necessary to overcome these issues.
