The role of performance appraisal in strategic human resources management in public libraries in Botswana.Jain, Priti 30 March 2004 (has links)
The purpose of the research was to recommend a model for strategic human resource
management through an effective staff performance appraisal system in Botswana public
libraries.
Performance appraisal is not a new concept; however the evolution of performance
appraisal tools and techniques has been slow compared to that of other management
fields. This discrepancy is now being realised; organisations are starting to acknowledge
the importance of comprehensive, regular appraisal of staff as part of an effective human
resource management policy. Human resources are a scarce and valuable tool in any
organisation and it is mainly through performance appraisal that they can be developed
and maintained, to ensure organisational success.
The theory underlying strategic human resource management and performance
management has been studied. Empirical research through a questionnaire was carried
out in 23 public libraries. From these it was possible to develop a model entitled "A
recommended strategic human resource management model".
From empirical investigation the main critical qualities for efficient public library
services were revealed as enthusiasm; positive attitude; innovative thinking; capability
and commitment; critical competencies as expertise; team-building; and leadership;
critical external factors as external environment; global competition; shrinking budget;
changing library customers and employees' needs and information technology; strategic
management issues organisational culture; transformational leadership; employee
recognition and reward systems; performance measurement system; productivity
improvement; and customer orientation; critical staff issues as sense of purpose and
achievement; feeling of self-worth; job-security; recognition; status; career development;
and salary; motivational factors as effective communication; job satisfaction; delegation
of authority; clear job description; performance feedback; conducive working
environment; human resource strategy issues as motivation building among staff;continuous education and development; generating competitive advantage through human
resources; and alignment of human resource strategy with strategic management plan.
The study recommends a strategic human resource management model for libraries along
with: conducive working environment; adequate IT infrastructure to store, organise and
retrieve information; staff training for excellent customer service; objective, reward based
staff appraisal; performance feedback; performance appraisal should be aligned with staff
selection, library mission, staff motivation and promotion in order to use it strategically;
and human resource strategy should be developed immediately. / Information Science / D. Litt. et Phil. (Information Science)

An exploration of various clinical settings for the educational preparation of student nursesPilane, Cynthia Nkhumisang 11 1900 (has links)
Text in English / The purpose of this study, was to identify and describe factors, which facilitate or impede learning in clinical learning settings. The study adopted an exploratory descriptive approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative designs.
Data collection tool, comprised of two sections: Section 1 focused on demographic characteristics. While section 2 addressed study variables of clinical setting, staffing, patient care/ practice standards, nurse manager's commitment and interpersonal relationships. The last section had two parts; part 1 being close ended Likert type scale ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. Part 2, was open ended, and solicited respondents' feelings opinions and experiences on factors they perceived to facilitate or impede clinical learning.
The findings indicate that the majority of settings studied did not provide adequate factors to facilitate clinical learning. Factors such as availability of learning experiences, acceptable unit organization, space and resource availability, and accessibility to students, adequate staffing with qualified staff who actively participate in teaching, appropriate and quality patient care role modelled, lecturer availability
and involvement in clinical teaching, team building and inclusion of students in the team, committed nurse managers involved in students' learning, conducive relationships among staff, students and patients, comfort relationships, advocacy and creating conducive relationship by the nurse manager, were identified as necessary for learning.
These factors however, were found to be either lacking, inadequate or inaccessible to students. Findings were based on data from a quota sample of 202 participants proportionately drawn from students, nurse managers and nurse lecturers.
The study made recommendations to improve and enhance the conduciveness of clinical practice settings used for learning in Botswana. / Health Studies / D.Litt. et Phil. (Advanced Nursing Science)
