The modern mystic: a spirituality for health care workers.

In this essay the author suggests that a deepening of one's spirituality may be the nurture that is required to remain fulfilled when working in the health care professions; and she illustrates this thesis by tracing a young chaplain's deepening spiritual journey in a Clinical Pastoral Education program. As the young aspiring chaplain attempts to minister to Joe, a dying farmer, he embarks on a path that leads to a religious experience. The essay concludes by listing eight criteria or guidelines that may help pastoral caregivers realize that they themselves may be nurtured by meeting the Holy in their caregiving acts.

Job evaluation: mystical or statistical?

People can't be completely objective in assessing how much any job is worth--employees, managers, and salary administrators all bring their own biases to job evaluation. And the two most widely used systems--market pricing and conventional evaluation plans--are fraught with weaknesses. Howard Risher breaks through the subjectivity barrier with a new approach that overcomes many of the problems in matching salary to position: multiple regression analysis. An analytical technique that enables managers to integrate internal and external factors in compensation decisions, regression analysis describes "what is", and not "what should be", with regard to compensation levels. (However, "if management disagrees with the values expressed, the equation can be readily modified to a 'what should be' statement"). The use of multiple regression analysis in assessing job worth is explained in down-to-earth, recognizable terms, and Risher shows salary administrators how to reduce costs, time, and headaches with this factually based evaluation system.
