1. Motivating Employees
Overview
Imagine that you have been appointed the director of health at
the Kaluyu Memorial Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya—a for-profit
hospital. The facility is also a referral hospital and receives
severe cases of accidents and chronicle and communicable
diseases, and it houses an HIV/AIDS ward. As you settle into
your position, you realize that the employees always act scared
as they approach their superiors. Some of the employees deliver
files and leave your office in a hurry.
As you make your routine departmental visits, you realize that
there are tensions between nurses and doctors, and there is a
sentiment that the nurses tend to do the majority of the work
within patient care but the doctors get all the credit. You realize
that the employees are always looking forward to the end of
their shifts when they can go home. Some employees even come
back to work wearing the same unwashed clothes as the
previous day. Too many employees are calling in sick, and
many of them give weak reasons for their tardiness.
There is also a sense that employees and nurses dominate other
employees in similar positions. In meetings and conference
calls, some employees are quiet and never participate. You
notice that people with families tend to gather and talk quietly
on breaks. The new mothers working for the hospital have to
use bathrooms to pump breast milk for their infants, and the
refrigerators do not work well. Looking at the financial
statements of the hospital, you realize that the hospital's
expenses are higher than the industry standard, and it makes
losses year after year.
