It is a comparative study regarding job satisfaction among librarians who are serving in public (government) and private sector universities/degree awarding institutes in Lahore. Questionnaires were used to collect data from librarians serving in ten HEC (Higher Education Commission) recognized public and private sector universities/institutes in Lahore. The eight components of job satisfaction were measures derived through literature: physical environment & ICT infrastructure, personal growth, organizational culture, social prestige, salary, rewards, promotion and nature of work. The study observed that librarians serving in public sector universities were more satisfied as compared to the librarians working in private sector universities. While for some aspects, like promotion, private sector universities provided greater opportunities to librarians, as there is a lack of promotional infrastructure in public sector universities of Lahore. The study suggested that authorities in librarianship should formulate policies regarding job satisfaction such as proper reward system or work incentives, encouraging working environment particularly in public sector, and a proper career infrastructure etc

AbstractIn the Australian healthcare sector, many changes in the public sector have affected nurse management and thereby, nurses. Yet it is unclear whether such efficiency measures, based on private sector business models, have impacted private sector nurses in similar ways. This paper examines four important issues for nurses: supervisor–subordinate relationships; perceptions of autonomy; role clarity in relation to patients; and job satisfaction. The paper uses an embedded mixed methods research design to examine the four issues and then compares similarities and differences between public and private sector nurses. The findings suggest supervisor–subordinate relationships, patient role clarity and autonomy significantly predict job satisfaction. The private sector nurses reported more satisfaction than public sector nurses with their supervisor–subordinate relationships, plus higher perceptions of patient role clarity and autonomy, and hence, higher levels of job satisfaction. The findings raise questions about whether present management practices (especially public sector) optimise service delivery productivity.

BACKGROUND: The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has affected economies all over the world. The ability of an organization to grow is heavily influenced by job satisfaction and employee motivation. OBJECTIVE: This study examines the factors affecting employee motivation and job satisfaction among medical and dental college faculty members in Pakistan, both in the private and public sector, during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: Medical and dental college faculty in Pakistan comprised the sample for this multi-centric cross-sectional study. A questionnaire, which was modified from an existing study, was distributed electronically. A student’s independent t-test was applied to compare the mean scores of the responses from public and private sector employees. RESULTS: Of the 466 total respondents, 55 %were female and 45 %male. Public sector faculty reported receiving adequate resources and preferred online teaching. Both public and private sector faculty reported being satisfied with regular workshops and training. Private sector employees demonstrated more satisfaction with workplace safety measures. Public sector faculty highlighted the positive influence of job security and timely salary payments on productivity. CONCLUSION: Faculty members from both the public and private sector find working from home to be easier and better for handling one’s workload. Public sector faculty noted job security, timely salary payments, and an individual’s sense of achievement as sources of motivation. Private institutes are more lacking in ensuring their faculty feel content and satisfied. Measures should be undertaken to improve the level of motivation felt by faculty members, especially in the private sector.

<p>Quiet Life Hypothesis is a concept which ensures the players in an industry achieving and attaining the highest market share. But Quiet life is also possible with the very strong strategic and efficient leadership at CEO level of any organisation. Their tenure makes the organisation to emerge as industry’s behemoth like SBI. The QLH is tested in the Banking sector especially State Bank of India. Nevertheless, to say Ms. Arundhati Bhattacharya took over as CEO of SBI in Oct, 2013 and with her extended tenure till Oct 2017, she made SBI as the most efficient bank among all public sector banks in handling demonetisation, GST and implementing the road map of merger of all associate banks of SBI and Bharatiya Mahila Bank. The legacy of Ms. Arundhati left SBI in an extremely strategically stronger position than before she became CEO. This paper reveals that the exit of hers made SBI reap the benefits of Quiet Life in comparisons with other public and private sector banks in India.</p>
