Abstract:

The theme of well-being has interested and still interests business leaders in recent years. The current context characterized by various economic and human changes has guided research on this theme. Researchers are increasingly asking questions about mental health in the workplace, exploring and studying behavioral and psychological processes related to well-being at work.
Researchers such as (Danna and Griffin (1999); Martin Seligman (2000); Keyes (2002); Thévenet (2009); Dagenais-Desmarais (2010) have made considerable contributions to this issue.
The emergence of new psychosocial risks and the quest for quality of life at work has accentuated a dynamism of adaptation parallel to these changes. The COVID-19 situation and its consequences further raise this question of the good of the individual forced to work remotely. The quality of life at work is a sentence that no longer has the same meaning as before the health crisis, Our article will try to reflect on this mutation in the apprehension of well-being related to the exercise of one or more tasks remotely

EVALUATION TECHNICAL EXPERTISE AND STRATEGY PERFORMANCE OF LOCAL NGOs IN UGANDA.

Title: EVALUATION TECHNICAL EXPERTISE AND STRATEGY PERFORMANCE OF LOCAL NGOs IN UGANDA.
Authors: Lawrence R. Okello and Benson B. Okech
Abstract:

This article deepens debates on the quality of localization considering that the strength of a self-regulating organization such as local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) should be seen by the extent to which evaluation technical expertise is applied as part of strategy discourse. In this paper, the application of evaluation technical expertise was examined based on skill sets including techniques, technology, and technical management oversight that are needed to ensure effective tracking of strategy and actions against approved goals and targets are executed. In most developing countries, the poor performance of local NGO strategies has in the past been blamed on poor uptake of evaluation technical expertise(skillsets).

The main goal of this study was to examine the relationship between the evaluation of technical expertise and the strategy performance of local NGOs in Uganda. The study used a cross-sectional study design using mostly quantitative survey methods. The study drew 349 participants comprising field workers, mid-level staff, and executives from local NGOs from all parts of Uganda. The study found that there was a positive correlation between the evaluation of technical expertise and the study constructs of fund stability (r=.219) community satisfaction (r=- 220) and timelines(r=-.166**). This study concludes that the correlation is positive but the extent to which it influences strategy performance is still weak. The study recommends the use of sub-regional peer support mechanisms by NGO forums and voluntary associations coupled with additional incremental annual self-assessment ratings to address the weakness in the evaluation of technical expertise.

MEASURING QUALITY: EVALUATING HOSPITAL VALUE-BASED PURCHASING AND OVERALL HOSPITAL RATINGS

Title: MEASURING QUALITY: EVALUATING HOSPITAL VALUE-BASED PURCHASING AND OVERALL HOSPITAL RATINGS
Authors: Ezimma Nnyagu, PharmD, MPH, Ming Zhang, PhD, and Lesley Clack, ScD
Abstract:

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services designed the Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (HVBP) program and the Overall Hospital Quality Star Ratings program to improve healthcare quality across the US. Controversy remains concerning whether these initiatives truly encourage institutions to continuously work to improve the quality of care provided. To address some of these knowledge gaps, we applied data from the Modern Healthcare Hospital Penalties and Rewards dataset to identify potential relationships. We found the mean HVBP adjustments differed significantly between Ohio and Washington with a mean difference of 0.10% and between Pennsylvania and Washington with 0.08%, and the mean hospital overall ratings differed significantly between Georgia and Ohio with a mean a difference of 0.58 and between Ohio and Washington 0.65. Therefore, by evaluating the potential relationships, we can interpret the impact of geographic region on Medicare rewards and penalties, healthcare quality, and thus the impact on patient care.
