ABSTRACT
This
work aims to identify a method by the coordinator of the OU
(operational unit) for the
training of gratified personnel through
the use of a rewarding system. The continuous transformations that concern the
Italian healthcare scene lead the operators to face always new needs and
problems. Professionals can not only be considered as workers but bearers of
qualified intellectual, professional and cultural skills. Individual
coordinators are required to be real leaders within their operational units and
to use their managerial skills in achieving company objectives and in
evaluating the personnel they manage. The main factor to which difficulties in
the management of staff are related concerns the motivation, defined as a state
of mind together with aspirations, needs, orientations, that pushes people to
act and to use a behavior characterized by commitment, perseverance and
determination. The need to better rationalize the resources available, to
promote high quality health care, improving safety, efficiency and appropriateness
has led the general management and
coordinator of the OU to use the reward systems. With the introduction of this
procedure aimed at enhancing the merit and encouraging virtuous behavior during
the provision of health services, the public employment reform participates in
the evolution of the regulatory framework and it turns on the change that is taking place in the world of work.
KEYWORDS
