The Impact of Human Resource Management on Financial Performance: A Systematic Review in Cooperative Enterprises

This paper presents a systematic review that examines the influence of human resource management (HRM) on financial performance in cooperative enterprises, utilizing the PRISMA approach. To gather relevant resources, we formulated a search strategy using predefined keywords such as “HRM”, “Financial Performance”, and “Cooperative”. After applying the inclusion criteria (full articles, online accessibility, English language, and relevance to the topic), 26 articles were selected for review. The findings of this analysis reveal a positive relationship between HRM practices and financial performance, with HRM driving both efficiency and profitability. High-performing HRM functions enhance employee productivity while ensuring personnel welfare and improving the organizational climate. Modern HRM practices are crucial in increasing employee engagement, fostering innovative cultures, and improving operational efficiency. These practices directly affect financial performance by linking employee engagement with product quality, profitability, and retention. Based on the studies reviewed, this paper contributes significantly to the existing literature and offers key conclusions that can be drawn from the findings.

Experiences of Healthcare Workers of Hospitalised Individuals with covid-19 in Kano, Nigeria: A Qualitative Study

Abstract Background: Management of patients with covid-19 needing hospitalisation is challenging worldwide. However, little or no information has been gathered regarding the experiences of healthcare workers (hcw s) involved in the care of patients with covid-19 in poorly resourced settings. This study explored the experiences of hcw s managing hospitalised patients with covid-19 in a treatment centre in Kano, Nigeria. Methods: hcw s directly or indirectly involved in managing patients with covid-19 in one of the two treatment centres in Kano, Nigeria, were sampled based on being information-rich cases. The study participants were interviewed individually via telephone using a semi-structured interview guide. Data collection was stopped when content saturation was attained. Data was analysed using thematic synthesis. Results: Eleven hcw s, comprising two medical doctors, five nurses, a laboratory staff member, a community health extension worker, an environmental health officer and a cleaner, participated in this study. Four major themes were generated: (i) the profile and readiness of hcw s prior to being engaged to work in a covid-19 treatment centre, (ii) the experience of hcw s while working in the covid-19 treatment wards, (iii) challenges with working in covid-19 treatment wards, and (iv) post-treatment support for covid-19 patients. The participants had variable prior experience in managing patients with infectious diseases. Interventions offered were mainly antiviral therapy, nursing care, counselling, nutritional interventions and toilet hygiene. Challenges encountered included insufficient cooperation from patients, poor personnel welfare, lack of human resources/equipment and issues interfering with wellbeing (stigma). Conclusion: The studied population exhibited professional competence and success in managing hospitalised patients with covid-19 during hospitalisation, despite existing challenges.

Health Service Delivery as a Research Agenda

For any company or organization, its service delivery mirrors its effectiveness in attaining its goals. For a health care institution, this is health service delivery. Why should health service delivery be a priority of any health care institution or organization
 The World Health Organization (WHO) talks about improving the quality of patient-centered health service as the road to achieving universal health coverage and the Sustained Development Goals (SDGs).1 The US Agency for International Development (USAID) embarked on ASSIST, Applying Science to Strengthen and Improve Systems, a five year project designed to improve health and social services in USAID-assisted countries.2
 It is imperative that health service delivery is designed in such a way that it is based on the best scientific evidence for a particular disease, is made easily accessible, and one that follows a structure or system that will support its delivery.
 The USAID further puts an even broader concept called governance for quality health care and service delivery. These include use of policy and strategies, effective regulation, engaging non-state actors, garnering political will, pursuing reliable data, culture of continuous improvement, promoting knowledge sharing, and linking financing to quality.2
 Health service delivery as a research agenda, therefore, is not only confined to looking for treatment interventions based on the best evidence. It should also consider addressing access and availability of the health service, and the institutional architecture to support a quality health service or intervention. Defining of roles and responsibilities of personnel at various levels of care within the organization and the aligning of other resources necessary for delivery are vital parts of it also.
 In the Philippines, the National Unified Health Research Agenda (NUHRA) came about as it reflects the health needs of the Filipinos. The NUHRA creates a template for health research in these specific areas in a 5-year scope.3
 The Philippine General Hospital (PGH) has included health service delivery as one of its top research agenda. In the past 4 years that it has established such, many of the research outputs have addressed specific disease interventions, hospital processes, and personnel welfare and readiness. There are still, however, a lot of gaps and questions that remain to be addressed.
 The papers on this fourth issue of the PGH for Acta Medica Philippina are diverse in scope but are all products of the authors’ questions that needed addressing in order to improve delivery of care to the PGH patients. May the impact of the results of these research endeavors truly make a difference in the lives of the patients the National University Hospital serves.

Welfare Warriors: Towards a Genealogy of the Soldier Citizen in Canada

Over the past few decades, new forms of citizenship have emerged in the context of a globalizing and urbanizing world. The government of citizens and economies, it is argued, is increasingly trans-, supra-, or sub-national in scale, and characterized by the eclipse of Keynesian welfarism and rights-based citizenship. Scholars have documented the emergence of targeted, risk-based, and workfarist governmentalities and political economies at various spatial scales, and have even described emergent forms of citizenship as “post-national”. And yet, in many countries we are concurrently confronted with massive symbolic and fiscal reinvestment in national militaries, particularly in the welfare of personnel. Given this, and the longstanding relationships between the nation-state and military service, it is curious that the soldier has hardly figured in recent discussions about citizenship. This paper provides a genealogy of the soldier-citizen in Canada, from iconic national worker-citizen in the post-World War II period to its recent anxious positioning at the intersection of “domestic”, entrepreneurial, workfarist citizenship, and the widespread re-emergence of militarism and national security. It demonstrates that the military citizen has at key times been a template for innovations in social forms of national government, and argues that the soldier has been a crucial figure in their re-engineering in recent years. Situated amidst transformations in work and worker-citizenship, and at the intersections of political struggles in both the domestic and international spheres, the soldier provides a unique lens on questions of the national and the social. Through an engagement with the labour of social citizenship, and the war work that initiated many of its governing techniques, the military citizen emerges as a critical figure in the contemporary neoliberal nation.

Progress and problems of family planning in the United Arab Republic

The rapid population growth in the United Arab Republic (URA) is bec ause of 1) the large rural population (57%) 2) the agricultural economy 3) high illiteracy 4) high infant and child mortality and 5) the hig h incidence of divorce and polygamy. There are an estimated 2000000 women of fertile age with 2-3 children. The goal of the governmental family planning program is to reach 1000000 women by 1970 reducing the rate from 2.54% in 1968 to 2.1%. IUDs and oral contraceptives are manufactured within the country. Acceptance of both is low in rural areas. Problems associated with the family planning program in the UAR include inaccuracy of statistics interagency staff distribution poor location of new centers bureaucratic demands need for more village centers or mobile units to reach rural areas fixed working hours that are inconvenient for acceptors lack of social workers lack of availability of contraceptives inadequate communication and motivational efforts lack of sufficient full-time personnel welfare advantages given to large families and lack of centralized industries.
