Imagine that you have been appointed the Director of Health at the Kaluyu Memorial Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya – a for-profit hospital. The facility is also a referral hospital and receives severe cases of accidents, chronicle / communicable diseases and houses an HIV / AIDS ward.

Imagine that you have been appointed the Director of Health at the Kaluyu Memorial Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya – a for-profit hospital. The facility is also a referral hospital and receives severe cases of accidents, chronicle / communicable diseases and houses an HIV / AIDS ward. As you settle into your position, you realize that the employees always act scared as they approach their superiors. Some of the employees even deliver files and leave your office in a hurry.

As you make your routine departmental visits, you realize that there are tensions between nurses and doctors, and there is a sentiment that the nurses tend to do the majority of the work within patient care but the doctors get all the credit. You realize that the employees are always looking forward to the end of their shifts to go home. Some employees even come back to work wearing the same unwashed clothes as the previous day. Too many employees are calling in sick, and many of them give weak reasons for their tardiness.

There is also a sense that employees and nurses dominate other employees in similar positions. In meetings and conference calls some employees are always quiet and never participate. You notice that people with families tend to gather and talk quietly on breaks. The new mothers working for the hospital have to use bathrooms to pump breast milk for their infants and the refrigerators do not work well. Looking at the financial statements of the hospital, you realize that the hospital expenses are higher than the industry standard, and it makes losses year after year.

Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.

Write a four to six (4-6) page paper in which you:

Investigate the major demotivational factors at Kaluyu Memorial Hospital. Assess the level of impact that the identified factors could have on specific areas of service and business if the administration does not address the situation. Support your response with at least two (2) examples of the potential negative impact of the identified demotivational factors on the hospital.
Choose Maslow’s, Herzberg’s, or McClelland’s model of motivation, and argue the primary reasons why it is applicable to the Kaluyu Memorial Hospital scenario.
Formulate a communication system that will have the greatest impact on improving the situation, and specify the major reasons why your system will influence the employee behaviors for the better. Justify your response.
Use four (4) recent (within the last five [5] years) quality academic resources in this assignment.
Note: Wikipedia and other websites do not qualify as quality academic resources. 

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

>Criminal homework help

Do you think that sentencing a person to prison is focused more on punishment or rehabilitation? Explain your reasoning.
REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE’S RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTION AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 200 WORDS EACH POST)
                                                        CLASSMATE’S POST
In my opinion, I believe sentencing someone to prison is focused more on punishment.  On one hand, I think about time.  How long does it take to truly rehabilitate someone?  What does it even mean to rehabilitate someone?  If a person enters a convenience store with a sawed-off shotgun and murders three people in the store to take the cash out of the cash register, how do you rehabilitate that type of person?  I think of rehabilitation in the form of drug/alcohol rehabilitation, for example. A person could stop drinking and taking drugs, enter treatment, attend an aftercare program, and establish a network of support that will help him or her stay off the drugs and alcohol.  But how does you rehabilitate a criminal?  In my opinion, you don’t.  It doesn’t mean that he or she, in some cases, doesn’t feel remorse for his or her actions but there is no continuing behavior moving forward like there would be in a drug and alcohol case.  So, that leads me to believe that sentencing is focused more on punishment that fits the crime.  If we take the example of the convenience store, sitting in jail for the rest of his life is probably a fitting punishment, if not the death penalty.  Rape, child molestation, and other sexually based crimes are not about changing the behavior and rehabilitation.  It’s about punishing the person for committing such heinous acts.  So, my short answer would be that sentencing is focused more on punishment.

(Consider an entity that reports an asset at fair value when the fair value is based upon recently observed market prices. Cite specific references from Applying IFRS: Enhancing Communication Effectiveness (Links to an external site.) to support your answer.)
