- Description
- Health care facilities in the South African public sector have, over time, become notorious for poor service delivery, peppered with issues of poor governance, weak administration capabilities, and ailing working conditions. Often, the consequence hereof is a loss of good talent to both the private sector and health sectors abroad, all the while placing more strain on institutional service delivery capabilities. To achieve the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by 2030, the strengthening of health systems is critical. The purpose of this study is therefore to offer supportable solutions to improve and maintain a sustainable rehabilitation service in the Nelson Mandela Metro through successful retention of staff. The aim of this study then is to investigate the influence that Human Resources (HR) processes, working conditions and leadership have had on retention of staff. A review of the available literature was conducted on possible factors that contribute to the problem and the solutions thereof. The study population included all staff that worked in rehabilitation service departments in the public health institutions in the Nelson Mandela Metro, namely; physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and audiology. The sample constituted n=51 respondents. Data was collected via a questionnaire as the selected measurement tool. The data was analysed using the statistical data analysis software system, TIBCO Statistica (version 13), and selected methods for quantitative data. The results of the study showed that only HR processes were significantly and positively (r = 0.67, p < 0.05) related to retention. It means that satisfying the HR needs of this population is most likely to retain their employ and improve and maintain rehabilitation service delivery in the selected metro. Descriptive statistics of all the variables were also calculated and reported on. Lastly, the managerial implications of the study findings were reported on.
