...Question 3 – Human Resource Management 2013 Exam ‘The objective of the employment relationship is to achieve a balance between efficiency, equity and voice’. Discuss. Answer Employment relationship also known as industrial relations or employment relations is a link between an employer and an employee. The International Labour Organistaion defines the employment relationship as “ a universal notion which creates a legal link between a person, called the ‘employee’ (frequently referred to as ‘the worker’ with another person, called the ‘employer’, to whom she or he provides labour or services under certain conditions in return for remunerations.” (ILO 2003:2) Another definition by the popular business website ‘Entrepreneur’ defines an employment relationship as “An agreement entered into between an employer and an employee at the time the employee is hired that outlines the exact nature of their business relationship, specifically what compensation the employee will receive in exchange for specific work performed.” The aim of human resource management is to ensure that through the employment relationship organisations should achieve competitive advantages and employees on the other hand, should receive a fair treatment in the workplace. In this light, many human resource management writers like John Budd have agreed that balancing efficiency, equity and voice should be the focus of organistions in order to have a more productive workplace. Budd (2004) cited in Marchington...

...May 11, 2007 With the advent of managed care, more patients are seen in shorter amounts of time and the amount of one-on-one time with the doctor seems to be on the verge of evaporating. Escalating pressures on the physician and the medical staff increase as health care approval agencies mandate more paperwork and justification for procedures. From the patients’ perspective, care has become centered not on the needs of patients, but around the needs of the system itself. Patient-centered care is a quality benchmark actively sought by medical care professionals, eager to deliver dignified care and re-establish patient satisfaction. How do we define Patient-centered care and its goals? Patient-centered care treats the patient with dignity and respect, as one capable of making informed decisions and with the rights to express needs and preferences in treatment and expected outcome. Patient-centered care is based upon communication and involves both patient and their families in the treatment options and potential outcomes. Patient-centered care involves the patient in all aspects of their care and empowers them to seek the best solution for management or treatment. It moves the medical practice away from minimal communication towards open communication. Physicians in patient-centered care practices ask open-ended questions, encourage the mutual exchange of information and seek feedback from the patient to ensure that communication has been achieved. Patient-centered...

...Iranian Journal of Public Health Tehran University of Medical Sciences The Code of Ethics for Nurses F Zahedi, M Sanjari, [...], and M Vahid Dastgerdi Additional article information Abstract Nurses are ever-increasingly confronted with complex concerns in their practice. Codes of ethics are fundamental guidance for nursing as many other professions. Although there are authentic international codes of ethics for nurses, the national code would be the additional assistance provided for clinical nurses in their complex roles in care of patients, education, research and management of some parts of health care system in the country. A national code can provide nurses with culturally-adapted guidance and help them to make ethical decisions more closely to the Iranian-Islamic background. Given the general acknowledgement of the need, the National Code of Ethics for Nurses was compiled as a joint project (2009–2011). The Code was approved by the Health Policy Council of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education and communicated to all universities, healthcare centers, hospitals and research centers early in 2011. The focus of this article is on the course of action through which the Code was compiled, amended and approved. The main concepts of the code will be also presented here. No doubt, development of the codes should be considered as an ongoing process. This is an overall responsibility to keep the codes current, updated with the new progresses of science and emerging...

...black males from Tuskegee, Alabama with late-stage syphilis and two hundred and one non-infected males. Along the years research has been undertaken without the consent of the subjects. The Weber State University website indicates their involvement in the formulation of research guidelines under the Institutional Review Board (IRB). Under the Public Health Service Act there is a regulation to protect human subjects of research and implement a guidance instruction on ethical issues. Three basic principles of ethics were formulated to protect human subjects in biomedical and behavioral research. One of the principle advocates for respect for persons which involves recognition of personal dignity. The second principle aims at ensuring that subjects are protected and given maximum benefits while reducing harm. The third principle calls for justice in the distribution of benefits. The men who were involved in the Tuskegee study were not treated against syphilis. Even with the availability of antibiotics in the 1940’s the subjects were not administered with the drug which put their lives to great risk (Biber 83). Forty years later the study was...

...educational plan must be known to all- the supervisor, the teacher, and whenever necessary, to parents and students; that it must be able to secure their full cooperation and that it must assign specific responsibilities and duties to each teacher and other school officials. Institutional plans must be practical and realistic rather than utopian or over-ambitious. For educational plans, our motto should be: “not high aim but failure is a crime.” We do not mind how small a plan a teacher prepares. Let somebody say, “I want to improve the handwriting of my children.” What you decide to do is immaterial. But once you decide to do something, we will not accept any excuse for failure. This is what we have to insist upon doing things with dignity, with pride in oneself and with success. It...

...Running Head: Euthanasia Legalization and Society Euthanasia and Society By Tammy Sanchez Instructor: Gwen Remington Com/220 Death is an evitable part of life. Death is also the only guarantee we come into this world with. Facing the end of life may not be so clear. There have been numerous debates about the morality or assisted suicide and euthanasia for at least generations. Is it right or wrong for a physician to assist in ending the life of a terminally ill patient? The argument here would be whether for or against euthanasia and whether it is ethical or unethical act. When dealing with physicians assisted suicide, or euthanasia and society, there are many issues to discuss. But first let us define the two key words “Suicide and “Murder.” Both of these terms will play a significant role in determining whether or not physician assisted suicide is right or wrong. The word “Suicide” means to deliberately kill oneself, which could stem from several factors such as a mental and bipolar disorder, depression, drug abuse, schizophrenia, financial, relationships and alcoholism. According to the Webster’s New World Dictionary third edition defines “Murder” as an “unlawful and malicious or premeditated killing of one human being by another; kill inhumanly or barbarously, as in warfare.” When she or she is convicted of committing murder is punished by serving a life sentence in imprisonment or death by a lethal ingestion. When a self inflicted injury...

...The interactions between science and ethics have long been a source of tension. Potential ethical conflicts have increased over biomedical research on the basis of science-based risk assessment or whether to take ethical values in consideration. Many of the greatest advances in medicine have been achieved by biomedical research. Biomedical researchers have been able to find cures or eliminate diseases, create vaccines, and medicines that heave cure and protected the health of millions of people. The National Institute of Health (NIH) is the federal Government’s primary agency for advancing knowledge in the biomedical and behavior sciences in order to understand and treat human disease. In the past, research process often involved many unethical practices where the research participants lacked adequate protection. To protect human research participants from undo harm, biomedical researchers must follow the four basic ethical principles on which standards of ethical research are based: autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice. Such ethical requirements on biomedical research are found in documents such as the Declaration of Helsinki or the Belmont Report. The four principles and Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) are the principal regulations and ethical protocols when conducted human research. In the United States, the National Institute of Health (NIH) is the primary agency responsible in enforcing ethic in human research but the IRBs falls within the authority...

...SPANISH HISTORY WITH RELATION TO HUMAN RESOURCE ISSUES The story of Spain's economy did not take off until 1975 where they eventually turned into a democracy when General Franco and his regime died. The Spaniards once again looked to their king to take them into the unknown territory of democracy and brought them closer to the European Union. Through out the 20th century just 1/3 of the population either had a job or was looking for one. In 1965 it touched record levels where unemployment was hovering at about 38.5%. However this number decreased in the 80s to about 33%-34%. Compared to other European countries in the 1970s Spain had the lowest participation by women, which was at 18% of all women in Spain. This is to be compared to Italy, which was at about 26% and in northern Europe, which was about 30% to 40 %. However with benefits, incentives, government policies, and legislation this value was raised to about 30% to 40% of the population of women working in the labour force. In the late 1980s Spain's economy was growing. This was mainly due to the rise in the employment, improved equipments, rise in industrial production and mainly government policies. However the figures might be false to a certain extent because it was believed that the underground economy had also contributed to the booming economy (http://www.workmall.com).

...CODE OF ETHICS FOR PHILIPPINE PSYCHOLOGISTS PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION OF THE PHILIPPINES SCIENTIFIC AND PROFESSIONAL ETHICS COMMITTEE (2008-2009) PAP Code of Ethics, page 2 PREFACE The Psychological Association of the Philippines (PAP) adopted a Code of Ethics for Clinical Psychologists in the 1980s, and this Code has remained unchanged since then. In 2007, the Board of Directors of the PAP resolved to constitute a committee to revise the code of ethics, with the goal of updating the code and making it more inclusive and applicable to all psychologists. In 2008, the PAP Board of Directors appointed immediate past president, Dr. Allan B. I. Bernardo as Chair of the Scientific and Professional Ethics Committee, in compliance with the PAP Charter. The PAP Board also appointed Dr. Ma. Lourdes A. Carandang, Dr. Natividad A. Dayan, Dr. Rosalito De Guzman, and Ms. Anna Guerrero as members of this committee. Given a clear mandate from the PAP Board, the committee set out to accomplish its task with the assistance of three graduate assistants: Mary Libertine Amor, Mary Grace M. Serranilla, and Sheri Anne C. Zerna.

...The Parole and Probation Administration of the Philippines The Parole and Probation Administration (Filipino: Pangasiwaan ng Parol at Probasyon), abbreviated as PPA, is an agency of the Philippine government under the Department of Justice responsible for providing a less costly alternative to imprisonment of first-time offenders who are likely to respond to individualized community-based treatment programs. HISTORY: Probation was first introduced in the Philippines during the American colonial period (1898–1945) with the enactment of Act No. 4221 of the Philippine Legislature on August 7, 1935. This law created a Probation Office under the Department of Justice. On November 16, 1937, after barely two years of existence, the Supreme Court of the Philippines declared the Probation Law unconstitutional because of some defects in the law's procedural framework. In 1972, House Bill No. 393 was filed in Congress, which would establish a probation system in the Philippines. This bill avoided the objectionable features of Act 4221 that struck down the 1935 law as unconstitutional. The bill was passed by the House of Representatives, but was pending in the Senate when Martial Law was declared and Congress was abolished. In 1975, the National Police Commission Interdisciplinary drafted a Probation Law. After 18 technical hearings over a period of six months, the draft decree was presented to a selected group of 369 jurists, penologists, civic leaders and social and behavioral...
