| description | Katarzyna Hampel,1 Zuzana Hajduova2 1Faculty of Law and Economics, Jan Dlugosz University in Czestochowa, Częstochowa, Poland; 2Department of Business Finance, Faculty of Business Management, University of Economics in Bratislava, Bratislava, SlovakiaCorrespondence: Zuzana Hajduova, University of Economics in Bratislava, Department of Business Finance, Dolnozemská cesta 1, Bratislava, 852 35, Slovakia, Tel + 421 911 404 473, Email zuzana.hajduova@euba.skPurpose: The underlying objective of the paper was to investigate the areas that require changes in human resource management in healthcare institutions. The practical objective of the study was to formulate recommendations targeted at the management staff of a healthcare institution, which allow to increase the adaptability and development capacity of medical personnel with the use of appropriate instruments and methods of human resource management.Patients and Methods: The quantitative research was conducted among 652 patients using the services of primary health care clinics located in the Silesian province in Poland, in 2019. The share of women in the research sample was 61%, and men - 39%. 11% of the respondents were students, 27% - people of retirement age, and 62% were economically active. An anonymous survey questionnaire was used. Calculations were performed using Statistica software. Mann–Whitney U-test and correlation analysis using Gamma (Γ) coefficients were used.Results: The results of the empirical research showed that the respondents positively assessed most of the examined elements (over 70% of positive opinions). Negative opinions did not exceed the error threshold and amounted up to 5%. The presented results allowed to conclude that the expectations and preferences of patients should be constantly monitored, have an impact on the management of medical personnel and imply introducing changes in the weakest areas.Conclusion: The conducted research made it possible to identify the needs and expectations of patients and to develop possible solutions to improve human resource management in healthcare entities. In order to improve the operating conditions of the clinic, managers should constantly monitor patient satisfaction and, if necessary, introduce changes to raise service standards. This will allow early detection of shortcomings and the introduction of necessary changes in the clinic.Keywords: human resource management, changes in medical personnel management, healthcare institutions, patient service, patient satisfaction |
