Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of the paper is to explore the nature and causes of observed tensions among healthcare professionals in not‐for‐profit organizations such as hospices.

Design/methodology/approach

In the paper the narratives collected from discipline leaders in each of five New Zealand hospices are thematically analysed in order to identify consistent and recurring sources of conflict both within and between disciplinary groups.

Findings

The paper finds that motivational differences, poor conflict management, interdisciplinary tensions, divergent attitudes towards volunteerism, strategic planning processes, and poor consultation are identified as some of the starting‐points for tensions in the participating hospices.

Research limitations/implications

The research in this paper is based in New Zealand and uses qualitative methods not intended to produce generalizable results. Nevertheless it was conducted in hospices typical of the Western developed countries and identifies focal points and potential avenues for further exploration.

Practical implications

The paper shows that researchers and managers involved in not‐for‐profit healthcare organization may find the identified issues useful as starting‐points for actions to minimise the tensions between and within groups.

Originality/value

This paper explores aspects of a rarely discussed issue, and suggests opportunities for more research in this field.

Abstract

The role that the disabled have been confined to play in our work force changed drastically with the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act on July 26,1992 for employers with twenty‐five or more employees. Indeed, as of July 26,1994 the law will also apply to employers with 15–24 employees. The focus of ADA is to enable individuals with physical or mental disabilities to enjoy equal employment opportunities by removing obstacles such as job requirements that are not in alignment with the essential duties of the position. The law also requires employers to make reasonable accommodations that do not impose an undue hardship on the organisation but are considered key in assisting a disabled applicant or employee in performing the essential duties of the job. Originally drafted by Robert Bergdorf, associate professor of law at the District of Columbia School of Law, the ADA became the seventh major component of the federal equal employment opportunity law that prohibits employment discrimination. The Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC) has responsibility for the enforcement of the employment component of the ADA, also known as Title I.

Abstract

Explores judicial attitudes in professional negligence cases affecting liability for property investment advice. Focuses on the standard of work required to discharge the legal duty of care and on apparent contradictions in approach by the courts. Reviews a series of cases which are taken to exhibit traditional attitudes to professional liability and studies modern cases which are irreconcilable with those attitudes. Includes liability to third party mortgagors and to third party mortgagees in an analysis of the duty of care, and considers the implications of the perceived expansion of the advisor′s professional duties, which include potential conflicts of interest and the dichotomy between the standards current among professionally qualified and unqualified practitioners. Suggests that judicial attitudes are influential in shaping the practice of property investment advice, but that this intervention is fraught with difficulties as it creates uncertainty among professional advisors about the nature of the tasks undertaken.

Abstract

The earlier version of this Bill which had already passed through the House of Lords and reached the Committee stage in the Commons had to be withdrawn because of lack of time to proceed with it this session. The new (No. 2) version of the Bill, however, contains the several amendments which were made to the old Bill and this will be revived by the Queen's Speech in the new session of Parliament. In stating this, the President of the Board of Trade also said that the full discussion in the Lords and by the public had not been wasted and the publication of the No. 2 Bill would keep the subject alive. It could still be profitably discussed by trade interests and local authorities before its re‐introduction next session.
