Abstract

Employee well-being is a critical problem in every organization and should not be taken lightly. This is because employees play a critical part in the production process of any firm and as such, substandard working conditions will inhibit organizational output. This study examined employee conditions of service and quality service delivery in medical tertiary institutions in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. The study adopted a correlational research design and was guided by three research objectives. The population of the study comprised all academic and non-academic staff across all ranks in nine tertiary institutions in Bayelsa State. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire developed by the author and validated by experts. The data gathered was analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient for both research questions and hypotheses. The obtained results revealed that leave policy, training allowance, and good working environment have a positive relationship with quality service delivery in medical tertiary institutions in Bayelsa State.  It is, therefore, recommended that other tertiary institutions should emulate the Bayelsa Medical University Model of managing employee conditions of service.

Abstract [Persian]

رفاه کارکنان یک مشکل حیاتی در هر سازمانی است و نباید آن را سهل انگاری کرد. به این دلیل است که کارکنان نقش مهمی در فرآیند تولید هر شرکت ایفا می کنند و به همین دلیل، شرایط کاری نامرغوب مانع از خروجی سازمان می شود. این مطالعه شرایط کارمندان خدمات و ارائه خدمات با کیفیت را در موسسات عالی پزشکی در ایالت بایلسا، نیجریه بررسی کرد. این پژوهش از یک طرح تحقیق همبستگی استفاده کرد و با سه هدف پژوهشی هدایت شد. جامعه پژوهش شامل کلیه کارکنان دانشگاهی و غیردانشگاهی در تمامی رده‌های نه موسسه عالی در ایالت بایلسا بود. ابزار جمع‌آوری داده‌ها، پرسشنامه ساختاریافته‌ای بود که توسط نویسنده تهیه و توسط خبرگان تایید شد. داده‌های جمع‌آوری‌شده با استفاده از ضریب همبستگی لحظه محصول پیرسون برای سؤالات و فرضیه‌های پژوهش مورد تجزیه و تحلیل قرار گرفت. نتایج به‌دست‌آمده نشان داد که سیاست مرخصی، کمک هزینه آموزشی و محیط کار خوب با کیفیت ارائه خدمات در موسسات عالی پزشکی در ایالت بایلسا رابطه مثبت دارند. بنابراین، توصیه می شود که سایر موسسات عالی باید از مدل دانشگاه پزشکی Bayelsa برای مدی ریت شرایط خدمت کارکنان تقلید کنند.
