Work Assignment Duration
In search of augmented productivity, decreased employee or labor turnover and improved quality of work and product, extensive research and surveys coupled with thoroughly analyzed studies have been conducted by some of the best experts in the related field. On the same account, for employee work-related satisfaction and high morale, much emphasis has been placed on the significance of work assignment schedules or work assignment duration or WAD. Be it any field of work or any kind of work condition or environment, work assignment schedules play a vital role and interconnect all the factors that either increase or result in an alarming decrease in employee job satisfaction, morale and productivity as well as staff turnover. This is because, both flexible and inflexible work schedules assigned to employees working at various levels of an organization determine the success and failure of a business venture. Nonetheless, each kind of work assignment duration formulated and designed particularly for a specific work group or field offers different advantages and obvious disadvantages. Work assignment duration can be discussed with respect to their impact on the work pattern of employees either under the heads of flexible or inflexible or in terms of long or short work assignment schedules.

To list down the disadvantages of a certain work arrangement.
Plan of Work
Our research proposal follows a clearly defined plan involving the following steps:
Determining the need as well as the scope of the research...
Extended work assignment schedules offer different advantages and have varied disadvantages. Similarly, compressed work assignment schedules that compel and bound employees to work for long duration but fewer days a week has different merits and demerits. To well comprehend the significance of WAD in different industries as well as for the clarity of the reader, this research paper will basically review the literature pertaining to the advantages and disadvantages of compressed work assignment schedules thereby highlighting the difference between the kinds of WAD that different companies employ.
Research by Herbert Northup in 1991 indicates the fact that the compressed work assignment weeks vary from company to company and industry to industry. However, compressed or short work assignment week schedules with longer working duration are often used in various industries with the growing awareness. These industries include manufacturing, computer operations, petroleum, insurance and hospital (Vega & Gilbert, 1997). A case study based on San Diego officers as well as other research studies by Rudy Hung (1994), Paul Blyton (1985) and Myron Fournet (1983) cite the following merits of longer working hours (work assignments with short duration in terms of weeks and long…

Healthcare Management (discussion Questions) Healthcare Management: Compliance and Regulation Various regulatory and compliance issues that dictate how health care professionals conduct themselves standardize the healthcare industry. According to Goodman and Norbeck (2013), the healthcare sector is turning into an industry focused on regulatory compliance, as opposed to patient care. Some of the top issues that may keep me worrying relates to compliance with employment laws. Employment laws bring about two main issues.
While the study had a number of scientific limitations; the two most significant were: 1) although the response rate of interns that volunteered to participate was 80%, those that did participate may not have been representative; and 2) the case-crossover analysis cannot account for the contribution of within-person factors that may have been co-variables with exposure status. Evaluation As a result of the related research, hospitals will be using medical resident
Safety of Laser Eye Surgery Prior to the advent of laser technology, ophthalmologists relied purely on mechanical means of surgically correcting myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (far sightedness), and astigmatism. Automated Lamellar Keratectomy is a procedure through which an automatic apparatus called a microkeratome slices an extremely thin layer of tissue from the surface of the cornea in order to alter the refractive index of the ocular lens. In the case of nearsightedness, the
Prescription weight loss pills are diet drugs, regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. If certain side effects exist, then they are advertised and prescribed for weight loss only under certain criteria and in certain pill-dosages. Examples of prescription diet pills include Merida and Phentermine, and these types of diet pills are principally designed for those suffering from serious obesity. Diet and weight loss prescription drugs are not a
Lack of accountability, transparency and integrity, ineffectiveness, inefficiency and unresponsiveness to human development remain problematic (UNDP). Poverty remains endemic in most Gulf States with health care and opportunities for quality education poor or unavailable, degraded habitats including urban pollution and poor soil conditions from inappropriate farming practices. Social safety nets are also entirely inadequate and all form part of the nexus of poverty that is widely prevalent in Gulf countries.
