High Performance Work Practices in Hospitals

Description

High-performance work practices are described as human resource management practices that augment organizational performance through enhancing employees’ competencies, motivation, commitment, and productivity. Research have shown that HPWP’s may play a vital role in fostering positive employee, patient, and organizational outcomes. Given the problematic and limited environment of hospitals, HPWP’s are purported to be an effective ‘medicine’ for organizational functioning. The purpose of this book is to delineate HRM policies and their core HPWP’s and highlight their key role in ameliorating hospitals’ performance. The goal is to create a high-performance culture where all employees are motivated, engaged, and able to work at their best, ultimately driving better results.
