A QUALIDADE DA GESTÃO NO SERVIÇO HOSPITALAR PÚBLICO

The privatization of the management of public health centers and ideological positions have taken the place of scientific analysis by identifying the advantages and disadvantages of different forms of management. Despite having tried different formulas for two decades. Studies conducted do not show evidence that private management is more efficient than public management in the case of health services. The lack of information on the models of management experienced shows that there is a long way to advance in the rules of good governance within the health systems, thus indicating the precariousness of the health system in force, and deficiency in the qualification of the professionals to manage the services of health.

Integrated Operational System Enterprise Architec-ture Designing Using TOGAF-ADM Method Case Study at PT. XYZ (Construction Company)

XYZ is a construction company that belongs to the civil sector of construction, especially in the field of water management and waterwaste management in private and public projects. In its journey, PT XYZ continues to grow following the development of existing technology. However, in its development in the implementation of information systems, it turns out that some of the main processes at PT XYZ are still carried out manually. So that problems arise and disrupt the business processes of PT. XYZ. These problems include problems with data integration, communication and loss of information due to certain things. Especially in processes that are still done manually such as warehouse and project management. From this problem, an analysis will be made that will identify the problem in detail with company XYZ. So the idea of developing an integrated operational system emerged that would be built according to the Enterprise Architecture (EA) method. EA can be analogous to when building a building, a model, design and design of the building is needed. These things are needed as models and foundations for the design. Similar to the implementation of information systems, before its development, the basis and foundation of the design are needed in the form of information system models or architectures. In this research, the EA method that will be used is TOGAF-ADM. This method was chosen because TOGAF ADM is a complex method that can meet all EA development needs, so it is used based on organizational needs.

The Spatial and Governance Dilemma of Small and Medium-Sized Italian Ports (SMPs): Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) as a Potential Response

The Italian coast has about 700 ports, which are different in typology, dimension, role, and ownership. Historically, this has led to the significant fragmentation of governance and space and a lack of cooperation that ports and cities still experience today. Among all ports, small and medium-sized ports (SMPs), such as marinas, small touristic harbors, and moorings, are the most affected. Unlike the main ports, where spatial and strategic regulation planning fall under the port authority’s responsibilities, SMPs are a combination of public and private management and are, therefore, excluded from national and regional planning and larger strategies. Improving SMPs’ cooperation at the regional level can drive more effective sustainable management among related activities (tourism and the fishing sector) and reduce pressures on the land–sea interaction (LSI). In filling the gaps, this article challenges the existing legal framework, planning tools, approaches, and initiatives and may pave the way to establishing a better-integrated national governance for SMPs. In conclusion, this paper identifies two main opportunities that can support the steady establishment of governance and the systematic harmonized development of these SMPs. The first one is offered by maritime spatial planning (MSP) as a strategic and legal tool whereby SMPs are recognized and, if financially supported, could find incentives and measures for their development. The second one is through European projects, programs, and initiatives such as Framesport as drivers in establishing a common ground among public and private interests and as a cooperation engine at a local scale.

Does Psychological Capital Mediate the Relationship Between Transformational Leadership and Adaptive Performance of Civil Servant?

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4.0) and the advent of the Society 5.0 era, have ushered us into a VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) environment. The adaptability of employees has become paramount, necessitating organizations to focus on managing and enhancing adaptive performance alongside routine task completion. Consequently, employee adaptive performance has emerged as a critical aspect of human resource management in both private and public sectors. This study aims to explore the relationship between transformational leadership, psychological capital, and adaptive performance, drawing on the Conservation of Resources Theory and Self-Determination Theory. Additionally, the research seeks to address whether psychological capital mediates the connection between transformational leadership and adaptive performance. Utilizing questionnaire data collected from 317 civil servants at the Ministry of Communication and Informatics of the Republic of Indonesia, the results reveal that 1) transformational leadership does not significantly impact adaptive performance, 2) psychological capital significantly and positively influences adaptive performance, 3) transformational leadership significantly and positively affects psychological capital, and 4) psychological capital fully mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and adaptive performance. These findings contribute to the development of a theoretical framework for fostering adaptive performance in public sector organizations and offer a fresh perspective in human resource management.

Global Supply Chains Made Visible through Logistics Security Management

Background: For several years, two of the major concerns of logistics managers are (i) the visibility of global supply chains and (ii) the uncertainty in deciding which existing logistics security program is the most appropriate according to the security levels for their organization. This last decision is needed to ensure traceability and visibility of the supply chain. The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis of the main public and private supply chain security management programs in Latin America and the Caribbean. Methods: A qualitative and quantitative research methodology based on thematic content analysis is followed. The four main existing security programs in Latin America and the Caribbean are systematically compared and a common general framework is developed. Results: The analysis shows a high degree of similarity between the levels of security contained in the selected programs. Conclusions: We found that there is little guidance available for companies interested in managing security risks in their supply chains through these logistics’ security programs. This article contributes to the literature on logistics security programs that is currently gaining momentum in managing security risks in global supply chains and provides academic insights into the choice and/or complementarity of one or more logistics security programs.

What can we learn from the managers of successful private, voluntary and independent day nurseries in England?

Rebecca Swindells, nursery owner and doctoral student at the University of Brighton, discusses the findings of a research study looking at the operational management characteristics of three nursery managers working in successful PVI day nurseries in England, to see how they are coping in the current environment.

Spanish dehesas as heritage: using participatory mapping and archival data to characterise the temporal evolution of an agrosilvopastoral cultural landscape

ABSTRACT Dehesas, together with other private and communal agrarian landscape management enclosures, form part of a managed, sustainable, agrosilvopastoral landscape organisation in Spain. They embody the historic human arrangement of landscape resources in a semi-natural state where equilibrium exists between pasturing, farming and Mediterranean forest management. With their origins in the medieval period, many persist until the present day in different regions of the Iberian Peninsula. Today, dehesas represent a unique form of landscape history and character in the Spanish Portuguese Duero River borderlands. By the twentieth century, many of these historically managed landscapes had been confiscated and sold, resulting in new forms of territorial management. In the Comarca of Sayago, a region located in the south-west of Zamora province, Spain, landscape abandonment and twentyfirst century natural park preservation strategies have contributed to a rise of a more homogenous vegetative landscape that has replaced centuries of the once ecological diverse landscape of which dehesas formed an integral part. With population decline, the memory of the names, use and management of these dehesas is fading. Using three case studies, this research provides a temporal analysis of the dehesas in the Sayago region, their historic use and management, and their importance to the diachronic character, heritage and future sustainability of this region. New cartography is created delineating and characterising historic land use. Our findings demonstrate the importance of integrated, people-centred approaches to recover and valorise endangered landscape history and heritage.

Psychological safety, social support, and commitment among nurse managers: A cross-sectional study

While the experience of psychological safety among nursing staff has been studied, there needs to be more research on the perceived psychological safety of nurse managers. Generally, nurse managers are committed to their work, but the COVID-19 pandemic increased their intentions to leave. This cross-sectional study investigated the relationships between psychological safety, social support, and commitment among nurse managers. The data were collected in 2023 through a web-based survey from Finnish social and healthcare workers’ trade union members. Of the 4573 participants, this study further focused on 366 nurse managers and are reported in accordance with the STROBE checklist. Findings revealed that nurse managers’ perceived psychological safety was higher than among other workers. Nurse managers in public healthcare perceived lower psychological safety than managers in private and third sectors. A mediation model showed that social support partly mediated the positive effect of psychological safety on commitment. A psychologically safe environment enables more social support, thus enhancing the commitment. Dedicated nurse managers play a crucial role as a fundamental asset within the healthcare system.

How to improve active mobility in São Paulo, Brazil? Survey with leaders of nongovernmental organizations and public and private sector managers

This study aimed to describe a quantitative survey conducted with leaders to investigate effective and feasible actions that can be evaluated in computational models to inform policies to promote active mobility based in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. In 2022, an online survey was conducted during the Health Survey in São Paulo (Physical Activity and Environment study), which is monitored by representatives of nongovernmental organizations and public and private sector managers. A questionnaire was elaborated with three questions with 13 alternative answers about actions to promote walking and/or cycling. Leaders should select up to three alternatives based on their potential regarding: (1) effectiveness; (2) feasibility or ease of implementation; and (3) desire to verify tests in computational models to inform policies. The survey was answered by 18 leaders from 16 institutions, comprising 13 (72%) women and 12 (67%) representatives of the third sector, whose average age was 48 years and all had complete higher education. Reducing the speed of motor vehicles was the most cited option in all three questions. Other actions mentioned refer to controlling the traffic of vehicles in central areas, improving pedestrian safety, reducing the distances between homes and places of employment, conducting educational campaigns, and expanding and enhancing structures such as bicycle lanes and sidewalks. The results are relevant to support evidence-based decision-making in public management and to provide subsidies for the development of computational models with a view to promoting active mobility.

CHARTER SCHOOLS E VOUCHERS EDUCACIONAIS NOS JORNAIS: O SUBTERFÚGIO DO DISCURSO DA QUALIDADE REPERCUTIDO NA MÍDIA BRASILEIRA

This article aims to analyze journalistic texts that address proposals for privatization identified with charter schools and educational vouchers, in order to contribute to overcoming the narrow conception of quality found in newspapers. Brazilian newspapers with the highest incidence of publications on the topics from 2009 to 2021 were examined, namely: "Gazeta do Povo", "O Globo", and "Estadão". Pursuing the objective, a qualitative research was conducted that collected journalistic texts and used content analysis techniques (BARDIN, 2010). It was noted that a large part of the texts are favorable to the implementation of privatization models in Brazil. The defense of these models has been based on the idea that the quality of private education is superior, attributing this to a supposed efficiency of private management linked to student performance, competition between schools, and teacher accountability. It should be noted that this premise is not confirmed when analyzing the results obtained by charter and vouchers in the USA. Finally, it is concluded that journalistic texts ignore a deeper debate about the factors that interfere with the quality of education, promote an uncritical view, and ignore the inefficacy of business management instruments to deal with the problems of public schools.

Analysis and Proposal for Actors' Roles in Solid Waste Management in the City of Fortaleza (Brazil)

The continuous population growth and the high rate of urbanization of cities, added to the growing consumption of products, result in the proportional generation of solid waste that brings various harms, such as air and water pollution, soil contamination and degradation, proliferation of various diseases and devaluation of urban real estate. In Fortaleza, regardless of its size or number of inhabitants, waste is collected through the action of collectors belonging to the most miserable layers of the population, without adequate preparation to carry out such activity and by a mega private company hired by the City Hall, with serious doubts about the execution of your work. This article analyzes the roles of public and private actors involved in the solid waste management process in the city of Fortaleza, Brazil, and suggests a new configuration for this operation that takes into account the needs of the community and more effective and necessary actions such as collection selection, review of waste disposal, use of gas and fertilizer generated in sanitary landfills, and greater attention to the work of collectors. Fortaleza is a capital that generates millions of tons of solid waste per year, with an obvious difficulty in dealing with this, caused by the inefficiency in solving the associated problems. We used a qualitative methodology for exploratory research, based on interviews with public and private managers related to solid waste management. We analysed the interviews through Content Analysis, using the Iramuteq software, and unveiled the roles of the different actors.

Tourism commodification and privatization of nature: private protected areas in the Serra de Tramuntana (Mallorca)

The creation of private protected areas (PPA) is commonly considered an instrument of neoliberal conservation, characterized by private management and commodification of nature for (eco)tourism and other market-based instruments (MBIs). PPAs are accused of reproducing social inequalities when entailing enclosure, exclusivity, land grabbing or dispossession. Yet PPAs exist in many different forms that enact these various processes in different ways. Our research explores this variegation in PPAs by offering a more nuanced understanding of the often complex and contradictory interconnections between processes of commodification and privatization different PPAs enact, as well as how PPAs are often operationalized differently in global south and north contexts. To develop this analysis, we draw on the conceptual framework of commodification proposed by Castree (2003) to investigate a number of PPAs located in the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range on the island of Mallorca in Spain. Our results show that commodification and privatization combine in different ways and to different degrees in the various PPAs in this area. Overall, we conclude, privatization appears more pervasive than commodification in this global north context, as compared to research concerning PPAs in the global south suggesting the presence of far more commodification in such lower-income contexts.

Managerial Effectiveness and Demographic Variables: A Study on Public and Private Sector Banks of West Bengal

In order to find out the managerial effectiveness of the managers in both public and private sector banks of West Bengal, demographic variables (age, gender, education, experience, income and marital status) and managerial effectiveness of managers are used in this study. The purpose of the present study is to find out the role of demographic variables in managerial effectiveness of managers in both public and private sector banks of West Bengal. The sample consists of 566 managers from three public (State Bank of India, Allahabad Bank, and United Bank of India) and three private (ICICI, HDFC, and AXIS) sector banks of West Bengal, out of which 487 are public bank managers and 79 are private bank managers working at various positions of management. The stratified random sampling is used for collection of data. The standard structure questionnaire named “Managerial Effectiveness Scale” was developed by Prof. S. Gupta (1996) was administered. Mean, SD, t-test and ANOVA were used to test the seven hypotheses formulated in the study. The study concludes that the mean scores of the managerial effectiveness of public and private sector bank managers are statistically significant. It also exhibits that the private bank managers are more effective than the public bank managers. The result reveals that the managerial effectiveness of both public and private sector banks managers are different with respect to some demographic characteristics like gender and experience, and age (partially). But managerial effectiveness is independent of other demographic characteristics like education, income and marital status.

Insurance and the public–private management of risk at US commercial nuclear power plants

AbstractThis article examines the public–private partnership between the federal government, private insurers, and power companies that enabled the development of commercial nuclear power generation during the 1950s and its evolution to the present day. The public–private process of nuclear insurance development and its impact on nuclear safety is examined through the lens of the Price–Anderson Act enactment and subsequent renewals. The purpose is to show how commercial nuclear insurance evolved over time, and how the indemnification of potentially catastrophic losses influenced the safety behavior of operators, regulators, and other institutions. Evidence is presented demonstrating the relationship between nuclear insurance and safety, using insurance liability and property premiums, and key measures of nuclear safety.

How public are hybrid public spaces? Assessing publicness of privately owned public spaces in Hamburg

ABSTRACT As new forms of public space emerge and the distinction between public and private space is increasingly blurred, the notion of hybrid space has come to light. It encompasses different kinds of public, semi-public, semi-private and private spaces. The proliferation of hybrid space across cities raises an important question as to whether they are public spaces and if so, how public are they? This paper aims to examine the publicness of privately owned public space/s (POPS). POPS are a popular mechanism to provide public spaces, however little is known about their quality. Empirical research using three case studies in Hamburg, Germany, was carried out to understand the publicness of these spaces and qualities that impact this. Through applying the OMAI model – an acronym for ownership, management, accessibility and inclusiveness – key attributes that impact the publicness of the studied POPS are revealed. The lack of private management, use of rights-of-way, inclusion of amenities, the role of public agencies, and transparency regarding ownership affect the publicness of these POPS. Based on the analysis, recommendations are provided so that POPS can functionally integrate with the broader open space network and make a positive contribution to the city overall.

Governance of public contracts: the materialization of efficiency and planning principles in law 14,133/2021

This article seeks to elucidate the Governance of public contracts provided for in article 11, sole paragraph, of Law 14,133/2021, as the formalization of the efficiency and planning principles. Thus, it presents the historical search for professionalization, planning and efficiency in the Brazilian Public Administration, from the bureaucratic reform until the advent of the law 14,133/2021, with emphasis on the management reform from the 1990s. Afterwards, the subsequent approximation of private management mechanisms to public management is presented, with emphasis on corporate Governance, which, based on the agency theories, resulted in the concept of the organizational public Governance, based on the notions of leadership, strategy and control, widely present in the 2021 law through various instruments. The methodology used was that of bibliographic research.
