Personnel administration: personnel problems in small medical libraries.

The shortage of medical librarians is felt most acutely by the small library, because the librarian's job may not seem challenging or the parent institution or organization is not willing or able to pay a competitive salary. The librarian's position often is filled, therefore, by an unqualified person, or a single professional librarian may have nonprofessionals as assistants. This paper discusses cooperative arrangements for sharing the service of a professional librarian and enumerates means of providing instruction for nonprofessional personnel.

Nursing administration and personnel administration.

This article proposes that the personnel department could be of far greater assistance to nursing directors and hospital administrators than is commonly perceived. Although many of the nursing directors, hospital administrators, and personnel directors polled by the authors expressed a desire for more support from the personnel department, their priorities concerning the degree of increased involvement differed. Analysis of the respondents' answers to questions regarding specific areas of administrative responsibility are discussed. Managers at all levels will find this article to be a fruitful basis for discussing those areas within which the personnel department could play an expanded role.

Employee privacy: legal and research developments and implications for personnel administration.

The contemporary emphasis on privacy has created a myriad of complex personnel problems and associated approaches to handle them. These privacy-oriented problems generally involve social, ethical, legal, managerial, and even political considerations. Personnel administrators are constantly confronted with the privacy issue. This article attempts to synthesize privacy information relevant to personnel administration, and to provide personnel administrators with managerial guidance for handling employee privacy problems in the work environment. It places particular emphasis on differentiating between ethical and legal aspects of privacy in our society, and, accordingly, on clarifying existing confusion over the impact of so-called "privacy laws" on personnel administration.

Code of ethics could unify personnel administrators.

A variety of factors, such as federal protective labor legislation and unionism, have pushed personnel administration into the forefront of hospital management. The added responsibility brought on by these factors and the growing number of people entering the field have created a burgeoning profession that will require guidance with regard to ethical principles of practice. The following article presents one example of a code of ethics for hospital personnel administrators.

[Personnel administration].

The present paper brings the reader up to date on the subject of personnel administration, in which much change has taken place in recent times. After defining the object of the paper, which is simply improved manpower utilization, the author examines the salient aspects of the method for selecting the best personnel on the one hand and, on the other hand, the requirements of the post to be filled. He also examines the chief elements of personnel administration, particularly post classification, hiring, systems for the announcement of vacancies and the selection of personnel and, thereafter, the evaluation of their performance. The different facets of the components and methods of hiring, recruitment, selection and placement are illustrated in a series of figures provided as aids to understanding the problem. The author then examines the performance evaluation and considers whether it is efficient and appropriate for accomplishing the institution's purposes. Finally, he studies in-house personnel training, which he regards as a tool of management.

Personnel administration: the case method of teaching.

Only recently are case materials being used in the area of personnel administration, general library administration, and reference services. These permit more intellectual involvement on the part of the student than do the generalizations which result from the traditional lecture-discussion techniques. The medical library field has a professional character quite particular to itself. This is illustrated by its highly specialized clienteles, the quite special nature of the materials involved and their control, and the aura of special ethical considerations involved in any aspect of medicine. The development of a body of case materials would seem to have merit as a teaching vehicle for the medical library course, for in-service training in larger medical libraries, for workshops and institutes, and as a learning vehicle for the individual medical librarian.

[Working conditions, living conditions and physical health problems declared among penitentiary administration personnel in France].

A cross-sectional epidemiological survey was conducted among prison staff in France to investigate the relationships between working conditions and health. The sample included men and women 20 to 64 years old belonging to all categories of prison personnel: prison guards, administrative staff, socioeducational workers, technicians, health care workers, and managers (n = 4587, response rate 45.7%). A mailed self-administered questionnaire was used to assess sociodemographic characteristics, working conditions, and physical and mental disorders. Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine the effects of working conditions and social relationships on health of prison staff. However, the results reported here only concern 17 health disorders: body mass index, sick leave, medication use, accidents, digestive disorders, lower extremities and back disorders, hypertension, hemorrhoids, arthritis, skin disorders, urinary infections, chronic bronchitis, cholesterol, gastric ulcer, respiratory infections, ocular disorders. The living non professional conditions mostly associated with health disorders were financial difficulties (OR: 1.9 for digestive disorders, 1.8 for gastric ulcer, 1.7 for medication use) and irregularity of meals (OR = 1.5 for digestive disorders, and hypertension). In the occupational environment, the factors most associated with health disorders are seniority (OR = 4.2 for arthritis, 2.3 for cholesterol) and constraints (OR = 1.7 for lower extremities disorders). In spite of some limits associated to this kind of study, relationships between occupational and non occupational factors and physical health conditions were observed; the results also pointed out the protective role of the social relationships for health conditions.
