Download or read book The Impact of Motivation on Efficiency and Performance on Public Sector Employees written by Griselda Natali Paz and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The public sector faces various limitation which restricts the organization's ability to incentivize employees to increase employee morale. Leaders of all levels must find creative ways to motivate employees to positively affect performance and therefore, increase patient satisfaction. Patients have the option to be treated by private organization for their medical and mental health needs, creating a competition for our public hospitals and clinics. It is necessary to keep patients happy with the services that Health Services offers to retain the business of patients. Hospitals and clinics are scored, by a third party, based on surveys completed by patients, which ranks the hospitals and clinics in comparison to similar private and public facilities. The results of those surveys are deciding factors on the facilities' eligibility for government subsidies and grants. Leadership of all levels are faced with staff shortages, high turnover rates and absenteeism which are all believed to be factors of low morale and job un-satisfaction. Unlike the private sector, managers and supervisors do not have the freedom to incentivize employees with monetary raises, bonuses or even small gestures such as food or gifts. In the public sector, employees cannot just be given promotions based on their performance or be given privileges vi that are not approved. On the other hand, employees that do not perform at a high capacity cannot be punished without proper procedures which can be extensive and time consuming and cannot be a supervisor's priority due to high demands in relation to patient care. The direct correlation between a leader's ability to motivate an employees and an employee's moral affect the satisfaction of the patients that are being served, makes the issue an administrative matter. Developing methods to engage employees and increase moral within civil service rules in a patient centered environment is the key to statistically improve the facilities ratings and therefore, retaining patients and organizational success..

Download or read book Ethics in the Public Service written by Charles Garofalo and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Serving the public interest with integrity requires a moral perspective that can rise above the day-to-day pressures of the job. This book integrates Western philosophy's most significant ethical theories and merges them with public administration theory to provide public administrators with an explicit moral foundation for ethical decision making. Ethics in the Public Service reviews moral thought through the ages, from Plato to Rorty, and makes the philosophies of the more difficult thinkers accessible to both students and practitioners. Unifying seemingly disparate ethical positions, including those of Aristotle, Kant, and Mill, the authors defend the idea of objective moral truth and critique subjectivist views, refuting postmodernism and ethical relativism. Using their integrated objective approach, they tackle such dichotomies in public administration theory as bureaucracy vs. democracy, and they also examine a case study in an administrative setting. Offering a better understanding of moral dilemmas rather than a formula, this book presents scholars and practitioners with a framework that is both objective and flexible, theoretical and practical. This original synthesis provides a comprehensive basis for administrative thought and action.

Download or read book Public Service Ethics written by James S. Bowman and published by CQ Press. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethics—in all its exemplary and exhausting forms—matters. It deals with the most gripping question in public life: “What is the right thing to do?” In Public Service Ethics: Individual and Institutional Responsibilities, James Bowman and Jonathan West examine individual-centered and organization-focused ethics, applying ideas and ideals from both to contemporary dilemmas. The authors take on controversial issues—from whistle blowing incidents to corruption exposés—to explain how they arise and suggest what can be done about them. They start with the conceptual tools students need to evaluate an ethical dilemma, then analyze individual decision making strategies, and go on to assess institutional ethics programs. The emphasis is not only on the “how to,” but also on the “why.” The ultimate goal is to bolster students’ confidence and prepare them for the ethical problems they will face in the future, by equipping them with the conceptual frameworks and context to approach thorny questions and behave ethically.
