Beer use of he specrum of healh care providers and beer co-ordinaion of paien services hrough iner disciplinary eam work have been required as a par of human resource managemen. Since all healh care is ulimaely delivered by people, effecive human resource managemen will play a vial role in he success of healh policies in any naion.

By using he Chi-square value, p-value, coun value, cross abulaions and sample percenage value inerpreaions were developed. All saisical daa is also represened by suiable chars in presenable manners for beer undersanding. Furher, all he variables were esed by using Chi-Square es o es he hypohesis ha made an adequae and saisfacory deerminaion. ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS The researcher used a quesionnaire for collecing he daa. The daa is analyzed and resuls are graphically presened as below: A. Human Resource planning developmen i.

(Chi-square =7.617, df =1, p=.4) Fig.. 2: Graph for nursing saff is encouraged B.RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION i. Recruimen process defined well In all governmen secors he recruimen procedure is quie well defined. Hospials are no excepion. There are norms for selecion procedures for privae secors also. Bu here is some flexibiliy in he norms iself and cerain degree of auonomy is given o privae secor for saff selecion. This is obviously being refleced in he response of docors given herein regarding selecion process. I is observed ha 9% of he docors in governmen hospials and 7.% of he privae hospial docors agreed ha recruimen process defined well in heir hospial.

When he procedures are no followed sringenly, he confidence level falls down. I is observed ha 8.36% of he docors in governmen hospials and 65.% of he privae hospial docors agreed ha he saff selecion is fair and clearly se ou he crieria of selecion in heir hospial.

Insurance policies are he mos helping hands o he employees hose are working in governmen hospials and privae hospial. These insurance policies minimize he fuure risk and financial needs when big sor of problem arises. hospials are always following heir norms for group insurance policy or individual insurance policy. hospials have clearcu mechanism for insurance of nursing saff. In his regard here are governmen direcives for privae hospials also. Bu he insurance policies are no well implemened in he privae hospials. Such pracices need o be praciced in privae hospials oo.

6 BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY (IJSSBT), Vol. 1,.2, FEBRUARY 213 (Chi-square =185, df =1, p=392462e-42) Fig. 15. : Pos reiremen benefi program CONCLUSION The presen sudy leads o he conclusion ha HRM pracices are very skill fully applied by privae hospials. They have applied all superficial pracices in higher proporion as compared o he governmen hospials. However he core pracices are applied only in hospials. In fac hese pracices are dicaed by he service norms of governmen employees and are refleced in oher professions oo. I is very ineresing o noe ha he privae hospials are more skilled in cusomer oriened raining of heir saff. In governmen hospials, here is a rouine pracice of senior officials aking meeing of saff and aking feedback and repor from saff regarding arge compliances. In fac arges are he specific asks given o saff in governmen hospial ha is in conjuncion wih he mission and vision. In privae hospials, nurses do no have such arges and field jobs are limied o he clinical cares only. Thus abou he mission and vision here awareness is less. These are a posiive indicaion ha more han 8% of saff in privae hospials well as governmen hospials have acceped ha heir organizaional goals are for good causes. An unsaisfied employee would have less faih in he genuineness of organizaional goals. I is very posiive sign ha he working procedures are well known o he very large proporion of employees. Furher he percenage is higher for governmen hospials. These are because governmen hospials have many well esablished procedures as compared o he privae hospials. The adminisraive approaches of he governmen hospials as compared o he privae hospials are more flexible. I is hoped ha he presen sudy will form a suiable daa base for hospials o rerospec heir HRM pracices and o enhance hem for beer HRM oucome.
