Medical institutions operate in an extremely dynamic environment, in accordance with the
legal framework, through the organization and management of resources and processes, often in an emergency
situation. The main element of a health organization is its human resources. Health facilities operate in an
extremely dynamic environment, in accordance with the regulatory framework, through the organization and
management of resources and processes, often in an emergency situation. The main element of a health
organization is its human resources. The development of staffs, their motivation, and training in a number of
competencies are also developed by the organization itself. For its stability, the organizational structure,
communication channels and people, as well as their capabilities (knowledge and skills), are important. The
selection and development of personnel depends on the management. For a specific field, such as health care,
the competence of employees is important. Through various methods, management must constantly emphasize its
personnel (selection, development, certification, audit) in order to be able to adequately perform its activities.
This study aims to analyze the importance of human resources audit in the health organization and to find
out its need for each medical institution to fulfill its mission and provide quality services. The questions
concerning motivation of work, workload, problems accompanying the working process are considered. The
main conclusions relate to the necessity and advantages of using audit in healthcare organizations

When a Christian who has walked with God and knows the things of the Spirit decides willfully, to step back into the worldintentionally or unintentionally-this is a very Serious matter to God. Most have no idea that this action has consequences. It doesn't matter how long you have served God in the past, or how dedicated you may have been, when someone steps back into the world and begins to act, and talk as the world does, the result is extremely serious. A Serious Matter: When I say serious, I'm talking about a situation so grave that it eventually causes God to take an aggressive and antagonistic stance toward that believer! This is why James 4:4 says: "...A friend of the world is the enemy of God." Notice that James refers to believers who have become a 'friend' of the world. The word 'friend' is from the Greek word 'phileo', a word that has many different facets, including the ideas of 'fondness, friendship, or love'. This is the Greek word someone would use if he wanted to express' affection' or even 'romance'. And when used to depict friends, this word is the picture of very 'close friends' who are 'fond of' and 'familiar with each other'.

Thoughts about company's system of values and Corporate/Ethical Code of conduct can frequently be found on reading the topics related with company strategy, straregical planning and management both in local and foreign business literature, as well as in social networks and blogs, in the articles by different businessmen and motivators. These definition can widely be met in the web-sites and advertisement materials of several local and foreign companies. The companies don't only try to build a positive image about themselves in their customers and more widely in stakeholders by using these definitions. The utilization of system of values and Corporate Code of conduct has stronger effect and helpful influence on company. Before describing them let's intoduce briefly about values and corporate code of conduct:

Research background: The research examines the impact of emotional intelligence and ethics on knowledge sharing within organizations. It examines the impact of emotional intelligence (EQ) on the ethical behavior of the individual. The focus is on the individuals working in the SME sector. A questionnaire survey was considered the most appropriate technique to conduct the research. The study is based on 1162 responses, collected from three countries (the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia). Purpose of the article: The aim of this article is to examine the relationship between knowledge sharing, ethics and emotional intelligence. Furthermore, nationality, gender, education, and the Oeconomia Copernicana, 12(4), 907-934 908 age of the respondents influencing EQ are also examined. The additional goal is to explore the factors that influence employee behavior. Methods: We identified four hypotheses. To test these hypotheses, we used variance analysis and logistic regression. The AES scale was chosen to assess EQ, which consisted of 33 items. The results obtained are compared with the opinion of SME owners resulting from structured interviews. Findings & value added: About 20% of enterprises are not using any motivation tool to initiate knowledge sharing of their employees. The most common (47.2%) reason for silencing knowledge-the lack of appreciation-did not appear among the answer of company owners. According to the employee perceptions, gender has impact on the level of emotional intelligence, while nationality, education and age group have no impact on the EQ. SME owners do not address much attention to gender. The occurrence of unethical behavior does not depend on the size of the enterprise. According to employee opinion, the EQ has positive impact on knowledge sharing, while it is not affected by ethics. The majority of owners also agreed with the positive impact of EQ. The attitude of employees and owners differ in different aspects. The results have shown that gender plays an influential role in EQ. The research of this complex problem laid down the empirical foundations for the V4 countries.

Human resource is the most valuable asset for a company to operate and continue its business activities successfully. Even though a business organisation has other resources such as money, material and machines, its business operations cannot be continued without utilising its human resources efficiently and effectively. Hence, human resource management mainly concentrate on how to plan, organise, direct and monitor human resource of an organization effectively and efficiently by which goals and objectives of the company can be achieved. In general, employees of an organisation should work together to achieve a particular target. It can be seen that human resource is only resource that cannot be fully controlled by an organisation. Thus they have to be used very carefully to get benefits to the organisation while giving benefits to employees. To do so, they should have an efficient and effective communication system so as to coordinate their duties and responsibilities among each and every employee within the organisation. Because of the continuous changes that happen in external and internal business environment, behaviours of employees and technology used to communicate information among employees have been changing over the last years. These changes have created many advantages as well as communication barriers between employees of an organisation in a diversified environment.

The Agile approach proved to be effective in building self-managed software development teams that can quickly respond to rapid changes and adapt to ambiguous and complex business environments with fast-changing requirements. After the pandemic, and as a cause of worldwide lockdown, companies struggled to survive. Most companies started shifting their work processes and environment to handle ambiguity using Agile methods and tools. The company's transition to Agile is usually led by HR, which played an essential role in this change, managing the talent and choosing the best processes to benefit the organization and avoiding other rigid processes and consider them wastes. Some Agile methodologies can add tremendous value to the organizations, while applying other methods can be harmful. Today, companies seek to reinvent their working practices by incorporating the Agile approach to improve flexibility and meet increasingly competitive market demands. This study examines the Agile management role in the HRM environment transformation and its effect on the new reality of adopting technologies in all HRM.

Family firm human resource (HR) research focuses largely on examining differences in HR practices between family and nonfamily firms or between family and nonfamily employees within family firms. Few studies, however, attempt to explain why these differences emerge. We offer insight into the source of heterogeneous HR practices by investigating attributes of the owning family. We integrate a primary family science perspective, circumplex theory, to describe how an unbalanced family structure leads to unbalanced HR systems in the family firm. An unbalanced HR system is depicted as a form of bifurcation bias, or the asymmetric treatment of family and nonfamily employees via the family firm's HR practices. By integrating and extending circumplex theory into the family firm, insight is offered into how the structure of the family system influences the structure of the family business HR system, thus impacting firm outcomes. Implications for both scholars and practitioners are offered.

Over time, there are terms and concepts that emerge in the world and become popular in the lexicon of people in academic or business media. They are usually referred to as buzzwords. Years ago, a friend told me that you could play bingo at meetings of large corporations with a board that contained the list of those terms, with the assurance that at any board or high-level meeting they would all end up being mentioned at some point in time. One of these concepts is "disruptive organization."

There has been much literature explored on the concepts of culture and ethnicity in multicultural corporations, and some of it with individual regards to employee training, motivation or performance, very little studies have comprised all these factors together and simultaneously analyzed the interrelationship between them. Thus, the main objectives of this dissertation are to establish and describe how culture and ethnicity affect employee development, how they motivate or demotivate them, and finally, what the consequences on their performance are. An empirical qualitative approach of unstructured interviews and participant observation was used to access the correlation between all the above-mentioned concepts from the perspective of the ​crew of a multicultural corporation. The study further presents and analyses employee feedback and results, and proves that all these dimensions are significantly mutually dependent and closely related.

Given the centrality of human capital within organizations, many scientific works have focused on this issue. These studies focus in particular on analyzing the link between HRM practices and corporate performance. In large part, the results of previous studies confirm this relationship, while the modalities of influence remain to bediscovered. In Morocco, very few publications have addressed this issue. Thus, our research aims to understand the interaction between HRM practices, procedural justice, and HR performance, using the automotive industry as aground for empirical investigation. To achieve this, we administered a questionnaire to the HR managers of these companies. Based on 65 responses obtained, the results indicate that incentives and work organization practices indirectly influence HR performance level, while procedural justice plays the intermediary role between the two variables.

In today's highly competitive environment, project management (PM) is subject to appropriate usage of project management tools and techniques (PMTT). This study presents the reasons of limited use of project management tools and techniques. Empirical evidences drawn from deductive research method have been used for formulating the appropriate reasoning. The link between the project management practice and project performance has been identified. The analysis shows evaluation of reasons of limited use of a wide variety of PMTT across varying contexts (projects, organizations, etc.). The result of the study reveals that traditional project management tools and techniques are not adequate to address the key concerns of project practitioners facing today because they are working in an environment where uncertainty, technological advances and corporate re-engineering are taking place at fast pace. Moreover, customer satisfaction, complexity management, accelerating schedule, contract management and risk management are among the key issues. Working effectively in this environment necessitating employing and improving use of PMTT along with enhanced skill levels of project managers to survive and thrive. Project management practice is a strategic asset to organizations and should be built though integrating appropriate PM tools and techniques into practice. These tools and techniques should be compatible to the project context. [Dildar R, Shah SFH, Nazir T, Zaman K.

The examination analyzed how a reward system has a role in job satisfaction to end up happy with their activity and positions and how extraneous prizes influence representatives. The particular destinations were to decide the company's reward system, to decide the connection between reward system and job satisfaction to distinguish the reward system of the companies. The theoretical literature focused on affective event theory, equity theory, and job characteristics theory. The experimental writing focuses on compensations, rewards, commissions, working conditions, and their impact on worker fulfillment. This study employed a descriptive research design and used a structured questionnaire to gather data—the study's target population comprised 100 employees of small businesses. A sample of 30 employees was selected from the population using a simple random sampling technique. Qualitative data obtained through closed-ended questions were analyzed using SPSS software and percentages and presented by tables and charts. The study found out that the salaries, bonus payment, ordinary commission, and working conditions positively affect satisfaction. The researcher, based on the research findings, concludes that there the reward system plays a vital role in job satisfaction, and there is a direct relationship between extrinsic rewards and employee satisfaction.

Chapter 11 introduces people as a defining element of many services. Many services require direct interaction between customers and service employees. The nature of these interactions strongly influences how customers perceive service quality. Hence, service firms devote a significant amount of effort to recruiting, training, and motivating their employees. Satisfied and engaged employees who perform well are often a source of competitive advantage.

— Loyalty and commitment have been found to be rather a back dated concept today, not appreciated well at both the individual as well as the organizational level. In the present study, an attempt has been made to identify if there any significant relationship is there behind Employees Motivation and their Tenure in present job. 154 employees from Information Technology Sector were the sample of the present study. A standardized 14-item questionnaire (What Do You Look for in a Job?) was administered individually to each individual. The available data seem to indicate that there is really a significant relationship lies between employees Motivation and Turnover intention. At the same time we also found out that the other demographic variables in our study like Age, Gender, Educational Qualification and Experience are also having a significant relationship with Tenure in the present job. These may be considered while making a strategy for retaining employees in an organization.

The ultimate objective of this paper is to examine the contribution of recruitment and selection practices to business performance. For the purpose of this paper, recruitment is broadly defined as the process of creating a talent pool of qualified candidates applying to an organisation for possible engagement. Selection, on the other hand, is seen as the process of choosing from a group of applicants who are best suited for a particular position in an organization. Methodologically, this paper adopts a case-study approach. Sampling entails the random selection of three Fortune 500 companies from three different industries to determine how their recruitment and selection processes have contributed to their individual successes. These companies include Amazon, Apple and Walmart. The focus of the case study, essentially, is to identify existing recruitment and selection procedures adopted by these organizations, and whether or not these procedures have, in any way, influenced the overall performance of these corporations. The analysis of available data from these companies indicate, significantly, that recruitment and selection practices have direct linkage to business performance. The overall hypothesis established for this paper is therefore supported by the data. However, although the research identifies a significant body of evidence than ever before that sought to prove the link between recruitment practices and business performance, the evidence is not yet complete. In particular, the need to develop a much better understanding of how this relationship works in practice is essential. It is necessary to understand the impact of context, both economic and geographical.

Application of Information Technology (IT) in the domain of Human Resource Management (HRM) systems is a sine qua non for any organization for successfully adopting and implementing Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0). However, these systems are required to ensure non-biased, efficient, transparent and secure environment. Blockchain, a technology based on distributed digital ledgers, can help facilitate the process of successfully effectuating these specifications. A detailed literature review has been conducted to identify the current status of usage of Information Technology in the domain of Human Resource Management and how Blockchain can help achieve a smart, cost-effective, efficient, transparent and secure factory management system. A Blockchain based Recruitment Management System (BcRMS) as well as Blockchain based Human Resource Management System (BcHRMS) algorithm have been proposed. From the analysis of the results obtained through the case study, it is evident that the proposed system holds definite advantages compared to the existing recruitment systems. Future research directions have also been identified and advocated.

This research dissertation seeks to investigate the importance of performance related pay in motivating the employees at Holiday Inn, Sheffield. Performance related pay (PRP) is basically a financial reward given by the organisation to the outstanding employees after evaluating their performance at the workplace. In the present business world, most of the organisations have introduced the concept of PRP with an aim to motivate the employees and achieve the desired targets and organisational goals. Over the last couple of years, there has been substantial growth in terms of using performance pay systems in the business organisations. In this highly competitive business environment due to globalisation, most of the organisations are forced hard to reassess their human resource related strategies and approaches. They are looking for best suitable strategy and approach for obtaining competitive advantage over the others.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Robert J. Greene, the CEO of Reward Systems Incorporation, stated that “Performance management is the single largest contributor to organizational effectiveness”. There is no doubt that the most important asset in every organization is their human capital. For every organization to become successful, they need to carefully align the organizational goals with the goals of the individuals at all level. This calls for the best human resource practices which will ensure that employees are developed, motivated and retained (Güngör, 2011).
Lawson et al, 2004 asserted that companies who practice performance management system perform better than others, it is clear that over 85% of private and public companies in the USA, South East Asia, and Europe have implemented the performance management system. Research shows that organizations that invest in their human capital perform better than others, a well-structured performance management system will ensure that employees are retained, managed and empowered to work efficiently and effectively. (Fay & Thompson, 2001; Steers & Porter, 1987; Yang, 2008; Lawson et al., 2004; Silk, 1998).
Performance management has become very important in Human Resource Management; it looks at how an organization can ensure that its departments, procedures, workforce, systems, financial performance, and support contribute jointly to achieving their strategic ambitions. It is seen as the process of creating a work environment whereby people are enabled to perform to the best of their abilities. It is the process by which managers and employees work together to monitor, plan and review employees work objectives and total contribution to the organization. (Dessler, 2008; HR Council, 2016).
According to Cascio (2006), performance is the degree of achievement of the mission set in a work place that builds the totality of an employee’s job. Armstrong (2000) on the other hand defined performance management as a planned and integrated process which delivers sustained success to a firm by improving the performance of its human capital as well as developing their capabilities
Any organization that practices performance management system tend to make their employees understand and perform their duty the way they should not because they have been asked to but because they know the need to do it. Strong sponsorship, open communication, change management, and training are part of some of the best initiatives or practices that can assist in ensuring that this process is well achieved.

Human Resource Management (HRM) has been a crucial issue for Tribhuvan University (TU) due to the presence of a high number of students and teachers within the University Structure. The main purpose of this study was to explore the practices of the HRM in the TU. I adopted socio-constructivism as a research paradigm and narrative inquiry as the research design which is qualitative in nature. It used in-depth interview technique to collect information which was supported by literature review.
