Health management models and their impacts on organizational behaviors of human resources in the hospital setting

Abstract

Hospital organizations are characterized by their complexity and are different from other examples of organizations, especially because they have a healthcare objective, putting profit returns in second place. During the execution of their peculiar activities, hospital organizations incorporate activities from various professional sectors, employing multidisciplinary teams composed of nurses, pharmacists, and doctors, among others. It is understood that managing people directly impacts the results of the healthcare sector because, just like in any other enterprise, success will only become a reality through well-done teamwork. This research presents a qualitative approach and, in terms of objectives, is distinguished as exploratory and descriptive research based on a careful literature review. The overall objective of the study was based on a bibliographic analysis of the impact of management models on the functioning of human resources management in the hospital setting of the Unified Health System (SUS). It is concluded that for the development of human resource management projects in health, there needs to be articulation and approximation of the SUS human resource management structure with training institutions for the sharing, responsibility in conducting, monitoring, and evaluating professional training projects, fulfilling the constitutional mandate that consecrates this partnership.
