A Study on Human Resource Management Practices in Private Hospitals in Kerala

Abstract

The healthcare sector in Kerala is witnessing a spiralling growth due to the\nhealthy economic development and the serious outlook of individuals towards\npersonal health. Private sector is thriving exuberantly well since there is a wide gap\nbetween demand and supply for healthcare due to the lack of government initiatives.\nThe proliferation of these private hospitals have paved the way for many unhealthy\npractices like poor working conditions, low wages, excess workload and lack of\nretirement and welfare measures to the employees. This state of affairs demanded a\nserious investigation into the functioning of the private hospitals in Kerala, especially\non the human resource management practices, as the success of every organisation\ndepends on the satisfaction level of its employees, which, in turn, will benefit the\nconsumer, i.e., the patients.\nHence the present study was undertaken to find out the extent of human\nresource management practices in private hospitals in Kerala with a view to suggest\nappropriate remedial measures wherever required
