Most often work in public organizations is criticized and perceived as low quality. Are different values promoted in this case or are resources responsible for this state?
Health public organizations offer long term work for employees in most countries. This a value and a good condition for workers' job satisfaction. Likewise, workers in public organizations are more relaxed. Many researchers link the long term work value and the relaxed behaviour. Nevertheless, from my point of view this feature of value in public organizations may be altered with training and a good working environment. Therefore, you can reach both together; a long term work condition and a high commitment and involvement of workers.
Not-for-profit organisations such as public hospitals are distinguished from profit maximising organisations by two characteristics:
1) Public health organisations do not have external shareholders providing risk capital for the business. They do not distribute dividends, so any profit (or surplus) that is generated is retained by the business as a further source of capital.
2) Such organisations usually include a socially responsible (and welfare) dimension, which would not be readily provided efficiently through the workings of the market system.
In a nutshell, a public health organisation should ideally provide value for money service for tax payers. A successful performance is based on the 3Es: Economy; Efficiency and Effectiveness.
Thanks. Your answer must be passed to governors & to those who make politics and lows for Health Care sector and also to public units managers!
