EFFECTS OF THEIMPLANTATION OF STIMULUS GRATIFICATION TO PRODUCTIVITY: the case in the obstetrical center of the José Pedro Bezerra hospital (Santa Catarinahospital).
Variable remuneration. Motivation. Public health management.
Motivation in the context of work can be defined as the degree of an individual's
willingness to exercise and maintain an effort for organizational goals. Health sector
performance is critically dependent on worker motivation. Although financial incentives
may be important determinants of worker motivation, they alone can not and have not
solved all worker motivation problems. The constant changes in the organizational
environment and the intense movement for quality and the increase of productivity in
the public sector have made the policies of strategies on management by results, become
one of the most valuable resources for public organizations. They are common to
attempts to identify more effective management models, sources of competitive
advantage and mechanisms to sustainably promote organizational development. One of
the management strategies that seeks the continuous improvement of human resources
in organizations is variable remuneration. Its purpose is to encourage human resources,
through remuneration for performance and results, increasing the efficiency and
effectiveness of services provided to society. In the public sector, this concept of
variable remuneration is being addressed in the new public management model, from
which it seeks greater flexibility in the implementation of public organizational
strategies and greater proximity of the public servant to the citizen. In the public health
sector in Brazil, there is a need for restructuring in its productive process, as there is a
need for a better performance in the resolution of primary health care. Especially in
areas whose nature is the preservation of the human being. The present study had as
general objective to identify the factors that motivate and retain the servants of the
obstetrics sector in the Hospital José Pedro Bezerra in the City of Natal, after
implementation of Law No. 9.158, of December 23, 2008 in the State of Rio Grande do
Norte, Which discusses the Gratification of Stimulus to Productivity. The study used the
analysis of public employees working in the obstetrics sector at the José Pedro Bezerra
Hospital, using the Likert method as a tool for the elaboration of the research form. The
analysis criteria used in the method were aspects of individual motivation in the public
health sector. A questionnaire was used for data collection and spreadsheet for its
treatment.
