Download or read book Understanding the Influence of Personal and Organizational Values on Turnover Intentions of Direct Care Employees in Mental Health and Mental Retardation Facilities written by Augustine Ejike Ene and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research studies on turnover in public sector, according to Selden and Moynihan (2000a, 63), are few. There is also a scarcity of research evident in the literature addressing employee turnover in mental health and mental retardation facilities (Ben-Dror 1994a, 244). Employee turnover in mental health and mental retardation facilities is high. For example, at Denton State School (DSS), the direct care employee turnover rate was reported at 65.25 percent in a recent year (Davis 2008a). In spite of this obstacle that affects the provision of services to individuals with disabilities, and the huge amount of taxpayers' money wasted in hiring and training new employees to fill the vacancies created by employees who left the service, scholars and practitioners have ignored this issue by not studying the causes of high turnover of direct care employees in mental health and mental retardation facilities. This dissertation is an attempt to analyze direct care employee work situations at Denton State School (DSS), a mental health and mental retardation facility and the largest state school in Texas under the Department Aging and Disability Services (DADS), in order to understand the reasons for high turnover of direct care employees in the school. The author's approach to this study is to understand direct care employees' and their supervisor' perceptions of the work they do at DSS. Survey questionnaire, face-to-face interview, and participant observation were tools used to gather data from direct care and supervisors at DSS. A total of 247 employees participated and the result of the data analyses showed that favoritism, fair pay, balance between work and personal life, flex work schedule, and staff appreciation are among the factors determined as possible influences on direct care staff intention to quit. The author suggested other topics that may be studied to enhance people's understanding of direct care employee situations in mental health and mental retardation facilities, and possibly reduce their rate of turnover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in late 2004, the IOM began a project to take a new look at disability in America. It will review developments and progress since the publication of the 1991 and 1997 Institute reports. For technical contracting reasons, the new project was split into two phases. During the limited first phase, a committee appointed by IOM planned and convened a 1-day workshop to examine a subset of topics as background for the second phase of project. As was agreed upon with the sponsor of the workshop, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the topics were: methodological and policy issues related to the conceptualization, definition, measurement, and monitoring of disability and health over time; trends in the amount, types, and causes of disability; disability across the age spectrum and in the context of normal aging; and secondary health conditions. The phase-one workshop was held in Washington, D.C. on August 1, 2005. Its participants included researchers, clinicians, social service professionals, policy experts, and consumer representatives and advocates. The meeting agenda and list of participants are included in Appendix A. Workshop on Disability in America: A New Look- Summary and Background Papers summarizes the workshop presentations and discussions. The background papers prepared for the workshop are included in Appendixes B through O. Some papers were submitted and circulated in advance of the meeting, whereas others were first presented at the meeting. The analyses, definitions, and views presented in the papers are those of the paper authors and are not necessarily those of the IOM committee. Likewise, the discussion summary is limited to the views of the workshop participants.
