Overview

Human resources refers to the people who make up an organisation and to the management functions that recruit, develop, deploy, and retain them so that an organisation can meet its goals. In the health and public-sector context studied here, human-resource concerns centre on the health workforce: its supply, distribution, training, motivation, retention, and the organisational and decision-making structures within which it operates. Effective workforce management is widely recognised as decisive for the performance and resilience of health systems. The research gathered here reflects this orientation. Workforce supply and retention feature in analyses of nurse turnover and of community health workforce roles in delivering care. Organisational behaviour and decision-making appear in work on spiritual intelligence and organisational citizenship among teachers and on the development of decision-making strategies as management tools in local government. Capacity and access constraints are examined through health-system perspectives on the barriers facing managers and frontline providers and through evaluation of service delivery in primary care settings. Workforce practice and safety are represented by studies of infection prevention and control among health workers and of pharmaceutical service evaluation. Ethical dimensions of human capital appear in debate over the commercialisation of human organs. Together this literature frames human resources, particularly the health workforce, as a strategic asset whose recruitment, retention, organisation, and motivation shape institutional and system performance.
