Explain how it is a discontinuous process. Career development is a continuous process, which concentrates on the processes of seeking, receiving, and processing the information about one self, educational and occupational alternatives, role options and life style. In other words, career development is the process, which makes people understand themselves in relation to the working field and environments, and the role they play in it (Zunker, 2012). Today, in the 21st century, the world of work is very different form the one it has previously been. Globalization of the job markets and the economy, and rapid advancements in technology create an increased competition. The main focus of the global economy is information generation and delivery of services. The modern world dictates the conditions for the business world, providing continuous outsourcing of work, reduction of companies, and modification of jobs. Due to that, people have temporary and part-time jobs, while a growing number of people are self-employed. Therefore, the majority of careers may be described with such words, as uncertainty, insecurity, unpredictability, work intensification, fewer opportunities for promotion, part-time work, self-employment and non-standard contracts. In this regard, individuals...

...CHALLENGES OF PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT IN NURSING INTRODUCTION An effective employee is a combination of a good skill set and a productive work environment. Many factors affect employee performance that managers need to be aware of and should work to improve at all times. These include a lack of recognition of employees who are performing well, quality performance outcomes and an absence of a formal performance management system and poor working conditions (Awases, Bezuidenhout & Roos, 2013). Over the last 20 years, a number of strategies aimed at improving the job performance of health workers have been implemented in low and middle-income countries (LMIC) (Marchal et al. 2012). Each strategy has had its specific perspective and focused on one particular issue: quality improvement, performance management, building learning organisations, innovation diffusion, to mention but a few (Chopra et al. 2008). While success has been reported in some cases, there is increasing acknowledgement that to improve performance of health workers especially nurses and health care organisations in general, approaches that deal with one problem, mostly fall short or obtain only short-term results (Marchal et al. 2010). The concern about shortage of nurses and it potential effect on quality of nursing care rendered as well as the mounted public urge on quality and excellent performance in the health sector mandates the Human Resource Management as part of their core function to ensure that an...

William Shakespeare Twelfth Night Introduction Before now, we had discussed project management in the broad sense, that is, from the perspective that any type of project—industrial assembly line, new construction, or technology implementation— operated by the same sets of rules and processes. For the remainder of this book, we focus on the last type of project and its leader—the IT project manager. Project managers are a very special breed of people. They are in much demand and will be increasingly so as the need for effective technologists continues to soar. Good technology project managers are trained, not born. They develop skills through experience and education. They become better project managers each time they successfully deliver a project. They learn new techniques and apply them on their projects. They learn lessons—sometimes the hard way—to be better managers in the future. 13 13_26_ch02.fm Page 14 Friday, September 8, 2000 2:43 PM What Does a Project Manager Do?

...Introduction . The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), which is a professional body for all those concerned with the management and development of people define HRM as the design, implementation and maintenance of strategies to manage people for optimum business performance including the development of policies and processes to support these strategies. (Management and Organisation behaviour). 1.1 Explain the factors to be considered when planning the recruitment of individuals to work in Health and Social Care: De Cenzo, D.A & Robins,S.P (2002), define recruitment as ‘’the process of discovering potential candidates for actual or anticipated organizational vacancies. Or from another viewpoint, it is a linking activity- bringing together those with jobs to fill and those seeking jobs’’. This means, recruitment is the process of searching for persons who possibly may be appropriate to fill vacancies and to persuade them to apply for the vacancies. There are so many factors to be measured to warrant that recruitment processes are valuable in attracting suitable candidates. Thus: The Employment Laws, The Job requirements, which are understood by carrying out a job/role analysis, the organization’s goals and strategies, to mention but a few. The Employment Laws: Health and Safety at Work Act(1974). In this area this act ensures the safety and welfare of all employees in any work activity by protecting other against risk to health and also the safety...
