A Multiple Linear Regression with the F-test and t-test was employed to analyse the data collected and test the hypotheses. The study results showed that the understanding of the government financial accounting system did not influence performance of the work units. Government financial management had no effect on the performance of the work units. Work environment influenced work units performance. Lastly, understanding government accounting system, government financial management and work environment simultaneously influenced performance of work units.

Abstract Background In the last three decades, Ghana has championed the objectives of the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative to provide pregnant women and nursing mothers with skills and support necessary for optimal breastfeeding. Yet, little is known about practical interventions to promote breastfeeding friendly work environment in healthcare facilities. This study explores the extent to which healthcare facilities in Effutu Municipality provide breastfeeding friendly workplace environment to breastfeeding frontline health workers. Methods A descriptive mixed-method approach was employed to collect data from healthcare facility representative and breastfeeding frontline health workers. Self-administered questionnaire with structured responses and interview guide were used to collect data. Thematic analysis was used to analyze interview responses. Survey responses were processed with SPSS version 23.0 and presented using frequencies and percentages.Results Three main themes, namely, Standpoints on workplace breastfeeding support; Breastfeeding support, suggested future directions and six sub-themes, including backings for workplace breastfeeding support; perceived benefits of breastfeeding support; factors of poor breastfeeding workplace support; maternity protection benefits; workplace support gaps, and awareness creation on benefits were identified to explain the extent to which health facilities provide breastfeeding friendly workplace environment. Breastfeeding frontline health workers said their hospitals have no breastfeeding policy (96%), no breastfeeding facility (96%), do not go to work with baby (96%), but went on 12 weeks maternity leave (96%) and work half-day (70%) on return to work.ConclusionHealth facilities in the study do not provide breastfeeding friendly work environment except the privileges provided by the Labor Act. Continuous advocacy on breastfeeding workplace support and stakeholder engagement to build consensus on the mix of strategies suitable to cushion breastfeeding frontline health workers against work-breastfeeding stress and minimize its negative impact on optimal breastfeeding among frontline health workers is recommended.

Innovative Process

Nursing staff and leadership in a resource-intensive NICU identified an innovative process for covering the unit's scheduling needs. Early concerns about the feasibility of achieving self-scheduling with a large staff were unwarranted. The use of a unit-based committee and the support of the nurse manager allowed us to develop a process that met the needs of the staff members and maintained the staffing standards of the unit. Contributing to the success of the self-scheduling is a mechanism for recognizing and rewarding staff members who adjust their work schedules to meet the needs of the unit. Satisfaction among staff members with self-scheduling is high, and new employees cite the opportunity for self-scheduling as a contributing factor in their decisions to work in the NICU.

Traditional Construction

Purpose The challenges arising from the reform of the social and healthcare sector call for efficient, effective and novel processes in both public and private health and medical care. Facilities need to be designed to suit the new processes and to offer usable workspaces at different levels of healthcare services. Along with traditional construction, modular facility innovations could be one solution to these pressures. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach This case study analyzed the different usability characteristics of the work environment in modular and non-modular healthcare facilities (HCFs). The qualitative research method was based on semi-structured interviews of employees and observations of the case buildings. Findings According to the results, the usability characteristics were divided into four main categories: functionality, healthiness, safety/security and comfort. The main differences between the modular and non-modular facilities appeared to be room size, soundproofing, safety issues and the utilization of colors and artwork, which were all perceived as better realized in the non-modular facilities. The staff highlighted functionality as the most important characteristic in their work environment. They even considered functionality as a feature of a comfortable work environment. Originality/value This paper presents new knowledge and a detailed description of the opinions and experiences of healthcare professionals concerning a user-centric, usable environment in the context of modular and non-modular HCFs.

The Individual

In a previous article (Coldwell and Moerdyk, 1981) it was argued that many blacks in South Africa are at a disadvantage in the 'White man's world' of business and industry as a result of a number of cultural factors, some of which were described. In this paper, the suggestion is made that it is probably easier and more cost-effective to find ways in which both tasks and organizations can be restructured along socio-technical design lines, than it is to try to change the personality and value structures of the labour force to fit them to the demands of the work place. A number of cultural differences are outlined and suggestions put forward about possible ways in which jobs and organizations can be modified to make them more compatible with the characteristics of the work force. A closer 'match' between the individual and his work environment is seen as the key to enhanced productivity, reduced stress, and consequent improvements in both job satisfaction and company profitability.
