The Impact Of Job Enrichment On Motivation And Communication

To impact healthcare in patient delivery, employees must focus on staying happy with their jobs to have more positivity about the outcomes. Examples include: longevity of employment, increased employee satisfaction, better safety and healthcare, greater patient satisfaction, shorter lengths of stay. Therefore; employees who are satisfied with their career and job setting will show more positive outcomes towards patient care.

Working in today’s society has changed in the last few decades. The economy and technology are the main reasons for this change. The type of job and environment where one works has also changed. The fact that many people work from home via the internet has drastically changed the workforce and the environment surrounding it. With this change have come new demands, expectations, and opportunities for employers. Everyone deals with these demands differently, affecting the employee’s quality of life and job satisfaction. Though the job and office types and locations have changed over the years the need for job satisfaction has not. In today’s economy the job is not as stable as it used to be. One must be prepared for changes in the future.

41). A systematic approach should be used when implementing a strategic change. The first step of the process would be redesigning how the initiative is currently being administered. The process should include how employees can contribute to cost control and outline the desired performance outcomes. Employees would be coached by their direct supervisor and fellow team members to achieve the preset goals. Supervisors can assess current employees to gage their current performance and encourage improvement. In addition, leadership should recruit future employees based desired skills and replace those not meeting or not willing to align to the new desired behaviors. The final strategic step would be having system in place to measure the behaviors and reward them accordingly. The systematic framework will require strong leadership skills to ensure its

Goals must be stated in measurable terms, i.e., how can you tell you have accomplished that goal? Identify dates for accomplishing each goal.

There should be enough promotion of the goal commitment by the manager as well as the top management to see that there is always a balance between learning and performance goals and to motivate employees in achieving it. Employees pursue goals which are reasonable and obtainable; every employee should be given certain goals

Motivation plays a vast part in the NHS as the people are the NHS's most important asset therefore staff need to make sure they are well motivated to ensure that jobs are done efficiently. Motivation is the desire to work that little bit harder. The NHS will try to improve motivating staff in order to achieve a desired goal and sustains certain goal directed behaviours. The NHS could offer improve motivation by their reward systems in order for workers to work harder.

Despite the benefits of having organizational goals, the concept in itself includes complications. Rianey (2014) suggests that the complications include “that goals are always multiple.” Due to the number of goals an organization may have, research indicates that differing goals is quite common amongst organizations. In the AMC’s case, the separation between the national and individual chapters have created the appearance that the organization as a whole has a number of goals, although more likely than not these goals are more associated with an individual chapter. Rainy (2014) argues that these differing goals often times create goal conflicts within an organization, leading to organizational ineffectiveness. With this in mind, it is quite clear to see the ways that the organization can be impacted by the multitude of organizational goals impacting the ability of the organization to be impactful.

In the Health Information Services, rapid changes have swept the industry through electronic health records and changing health care delivery systems. Due to these changes, such employees have seen their jobs change drastically and this has become a major issue for the industry. Redesigning jobs can be effective or counter-productive. If they overload and stress people then they can see productivity plummet. However, if people become to specialized with monotonous duties, they can also see productivity plummet. In this analysis by Elizabeth Layman, she looks at all the potential factors and outputs and leaves with an approach to forming new roles that may effectively help the business address these concerns.

In the case study written by Elizabeth Layman “Job redesign for expanded HIS Functions” She explains the constantly changing environment of the Health Care Delivery System. I plan to discuss the principles set for goal setting, job enrichment, job enrichment in HIS and the impact of job enrichment on motivation and communication in the HIS department. Applied Principles of Job Enrichment Job enrichment is “the job redesign technique that allows workers more control over how they perform tasks, giving them more responsibility” What Layman talks about in this case relating to UNIT 7 WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT 3 job enrichment is giving HIS employees more freedom with their tasks Halway mentions skill leveling, boredom and mediocrity in the workplace however, she weighs the pros and cons and one of the main cons she has found is that employees may still feel stress or overwhelmed with more tasks being piled on them which can lead to poor productivity. With job enrichment comes more responsibility but also it can come with a wage increase.

And the new need for job satisfaction is the key to the quality of work.” (CITE) This is important to recognize because it point out just how important job satisfaction is to overall job productivity. Job satisfaction is important because by having a job that somebody really enjoys doing and succeeding in, it motivates them to do their best on a daily basis. This is incredibly relevant in the lives of medical professionals because they constantly need to be putting 100% effort into their work or people could have serious health complications, and in sever situation, even

In reading and analyzing the case study on “Job Redesign for Expanded Health Information Management (HIM) Functions” by Elizabeth Layman I was baffled to see that someone could take some rather fascinating and useful information and obscure it into such an annoyingly mind numbing text so as to eradicate almost all of its intrinsic value to everyone except for the most vigilant and persistent reader with a resilient constitution against sleep and boredom. Having arduously trudged through it, I was able to glean a few things in relativity to goal setting and job enrichment.

In the case study on “Job Redesign for Expanded HIM Functions” Elizabeth Laymen outlines how the ever rapidly changing healthcare field has changed the demand for the professionals in the Healthcare Information Services Departments to increase both their physical and mental output within their daily routines. This type of increased demand is not reasonable on a daily basis and puts professionals under excessive stress. As a result Elizabeth Layden wrote this article with steps and recommendations for job redesign to support and assist leaders in the field on implementing effective change in their working environments for both themselves and employees.

A revolutionary leader need to find a way to facilitate the acquisition of new ideas and knowledge by stimulating that aspect of employees that motivates them to attain organizational goals. In our case patients’ safety, employee’s engagement and general satisfaction are some of the hospital goals. In response to the need to find a better and working method on motivation to learn the ARCS Model of motivation was developed with great emphasis on Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction as noted by Loorbach, Peters, Karreman and Steehouder (2015). Although cultivating learners’ motivation to study is seen as the main inspiration behind ARCS model (Keller, 1987), improving workers’ motivation to carry out their duties has benefited from Keller’s motivation

This model was developed by Tom Peters and Robert Waterman (Mindtools 2012). Essentially, it aims to improve the overall performance and productivity of an organization while aligning all departments to suit the shared vision of the organization (Peters 2011). There are a number of benefits within its flexible nature and ability to look back and analyze the success of a previously implemented strategic change within the organization (Simister 2011). It is retroactive, yet it can be an important diagnostic tool in learning for future endeavors of change (Peters 2009).

Motivating people that are working under management can be a difficult task at times. Everyone is unique, no people are exactly the same and each person needs something different to become motivated and with that the challenge comes in for the managers, finding the right motivator for the right employee. Knowing and caring about the employees needs will help managers know what type of rewards to offer as a way to motivate their employees. The success of any organization, especially health care organizations solely depends on the skills of managers and how they present the work environment for their employees. When employees are motivated they tend to be more satisfied with their jobs and will stay with the organization much longer as a result of their satisfaction.
