Relievers Needed
- To compute for relievers needed, the following should be considered;
1. Average number of leaves taken each year------ 15
a. vacation 15
b. sick leave 5
2. Holidays -----------------------------------------------------12
3. Special Privileges as per CSC MC#6 s. 1996-------3
4. Continuing Educ. Prog. For professionals------------3
Total Average Leave-------33

To determine the relievers needed- divide 33 by number of working days per year each employee served (whether 213 or 265)
- result will be 0.15 per persons works for 40 hour/week
- result will be 0.12 per persons works for 48 hour/week
- multiply the computed reliever per person by the computed number of nsg personnel
- this will give you the total number of relievers

Staffing Formula
To illustrate: Find the number of nursing according to levels of care needed.
1. Categorize the patients according to levels of care needed
250 pts x 0.30 = 75 pts needing minimal care
250 pts x 0.45 = 112.5 pts needing moderate care
250 pts x 0.15 = 37.5 pts needed intensive care
250 pts x 0.01 = 25 pts need highly specialized 250 nsg care
MJCN2014
![Page 24: Organizing2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103114/555bfb9cd8b42a56448b4ec6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
2. Find the number of nursing care hours (NCH) needed by patients at each level of care per day.
75 pts x 1.5 (NCH needed at Level I) = 112.5 MCH/day
112.5 pts x 3 (NCH needed at Level II) = 337.5 NCH/day
37.5 pts x 4.5 (NCH needed at Level II) = 168.75 NCH/day
25 pts x 6 (NCH needed at Level IV) = 150 NCH/day
Total 768.75 NCH/day
3. Find the total NCH needed by 250 patients per year.
768.75 x 365 (days/yr) = 280,593.75 NCH/year
MJCN2014
![Page 25: Organizing2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103114/555bfb9cd8b42a56448b4ec6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
4. Find the actual working hours rendered by each nursing personnel per year.
8 (hrs/day) x 213 (working days/year) = 1,704 (working hours/year)
5. Find the total number of nursing personnel needed.
a. Total NCH per year = 280,593.75 = 165
Working hrs/year 1,704
b. relief x total nsg. Personnel = 165 x 0.15 = 25
c. total nursing personnel needed 165 + 25 = 190

6. Categorize to professional and non-professional personnel ratio of prof to non-prof in a tertiary hospital is 65:35
190 x .65 = 134 professional nurses
190 x .35 = 66 nursing attendants
7. Distribute by shifts
124 nurses x .45 = 56 nurses on AM shift
124 nurses x .37 = 46 nurses on PM shift
124 nurses x .18 = 22 nurses on night shift
Total 124 nurses
66 nsg attendants x .45 = 30 nsg. attendants on AM shift
66 nsg attendants x .37 = 24 nsg attendants on PM shift
66 nsg attendents x .18 = 12 nursing attendants on noc
Total = 66 nursing attendantsMJCN2014

APPROACHES TO DISCIPLINE:-The different approaches to
discipline include;• Human relation approach: In human
relation approach the employee is. helped to correct his deviations
• Human resources approach: Under the human resources approach, the employee is treated as resource and the act of indiscipline are dealt by considering the failure in the area of development, maintenance and utilization of human resources.

• Group discipline approach: The group as a whole sets the standards of discipline, and punishments for the deviations. The individual employees are awarded punishments for their violation under the group discipline approach.
• Leadership approach: In this approach, every supervisor administers the rules of discipline and guides, trains and controls the subordinates regarding disciplinary rules.

• Judicial approach: In judicial approach, indisciplinary cases are dealt on the basis of legislation and court decisions.
The Industrial Employment Act, 1946, to a certain extent, prescribed the correct procedure that should be followed before awarding punishment to an employee in India.

PRINCIPLES FOR MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE:-
The most important principles to be observed in the maintenance of discipline have been outlined by Yoder, Heneman, Turnbull and Harold Stone. They are:
All the rules should be framed in co-operation and collaboration with the representatives of employees.
All the rules should be appraised at frequent and regular interval to ensure that they are, and continue to be, appropriate, sensible and useful.
![Page 72: Organizing2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103114/555bfb9cd8b42a56448b4ec6/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Cont.. Rules should vary with changes in the working conditions of employees.
Rules should be uniformly enforced if they are to be effective.
Penalties for any violation of any rules should be clearly stated in advance.
A disciplinary policy should have as its objectives the prevention of any infringement rather than the simple administration of penalties; however it should be preventive rather than punitive.
![Page 73: Organizing2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103114/555bfb9cd8b42a56448b4ec6/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Extreme caution should be exercised to ensure that infringements are not encouraged.
If violations of a particular rule are fairly frequent, the circumstances surrounding them should be carefully investigated and studied in order to discover the cause or causes of such violations.
Recidivism must be expected. Some offenders would almost certainly violate rules more often than others. These cases should be carefully considered so that their causes may be discovered.
Definite and precise provisions for appeal and review of all disciplinary actions should be expressly mentioned in the employees’ handbook or collective agreements.
![Page 74: Organizing2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103114/555bfb9cd8b42a56448b4ec6/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
ASPECTS OF DISCIPLINE:-
Positive aspect: Employees believe in and support discipline and adhere to the rules, regulations and desired standards of behaviour. Discipline takes the form of positive support and reinforcement for approved actions and its aim is to help the individual in moulding his behaviour and developing him in a corrective and supportive manner. This type of approach is called positive approach or constructive discipline or self-discipline.
![Page 75: Organizing2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103114/555bfb9cd8b42a56448b4ec6/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Positive discipline takes place whenever the organizational climate is marked by aspect such as payment of adequate remuneration and incentives, appreciation of performance and reinforcement of approved personnel behaviour or actions etc.
which will motivate employees to adhere to certain rules and regulations or exercise self-control and work to the maximum possible extent.
![Page 76: Organizing2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103114/555bfb9cd8b42a56448b4ec6/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Negative aspect: Employees sometimes do not believe in and support discipline. As such, they do not adhere to rules, regulations and desired standards of behaviour. As such, disciplinary programme forces and constraints the employees to obey orders and function in accordance with set rules and regulations through warnings, penalties and other forms of punishment. This approach to discipline is called negative approach or corrective approach or punitive approach.
![Page 77: Organizing2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103114/555bfb9cd8b42a56448b4ec6/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
• This approach is also called autocratic approach as the subordinates are given no role in formulating the rules and they are not told why they are punished. Punishment, penalties, demotions and transfers provide or establish a climate which demotivate and delead the employees.
![Page 78: Organizing2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103114/555bfb9cd8b42a56448b4ec6/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
The highest level and most effective form of discipline is self-discipline.
Ideally, all employees should have adequate self-control and should be self-directed in their pursuit of organizational goals.
![Page 79: Organizing2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103114/555bfb9cd8b42a56448b4ec6/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Definition:
Self discipline is best defined as the ability to regulate ones conduct by principle and sound judgment, rather than by impulse, desire, or social custom.
Self discipline can be considered a type of selective training, creating new habits of thought, action, and speech toward improving yourself and reaching goals.

The Five Pillars of self discipline
Acceptance
Willpower
Hard work
Industry
Persistence.
If you take the first letters of each word you get the acronym “A WHIP”- since many people associate self discipline with whipping themselves into shape.
![Page 81: Organizing2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103114/555bfb9cd8b42a56448b4ec6/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
To be self disciplined:
• Get yourself organized• Don’t constantly seek to be entertained • Be on time • Keep your word • Do the most difficult tasks first• Finish what you start• Accept correction • Practice self denial • Welcome responsibility
![Page 82: Organizing2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103114/555bfb9cd8b42a56448b4ec6/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Health Care Education Associates (1987) identified four factors that must be present to foster a climate of self-discipline.
• Employee awareness and understanding of rules and regulations that govern behaviour- The rules and regulation must be clearly written and communicated. Young and Hayne (1988) stated that the most common reason for unsatisfactory work performance is that the employee thinks they are performing satisfactorily. In other words the employee does not know there is a problem.
![Page 83: Organizing2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103114/555bfb9cd8b42a56448b4ec6/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
• There must exist an atmosphere of mutual trust- Manager must believe that employees are capable of and actively seeking self-discipline. Likewise employees must perceive the manager as honest and trustworthy. Employees lack the security for self-discipline if they do not trust their manager’s motives.
• Formal authority must be used judiciously- Approximately one-half of grievance cases appealed before an arbitrator by labour unions involved disciplinary action. In about one-half of those cases, management either reversed or modified its decision when the individual’s appeal was upheld.
• Employees should identify with the goals of the organization- When the employees accept the goals and objectives of an organization, they are more likely to accept the standards of conduct deemed acceptable by the organization.
![Page 84: Organizing2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103114/555bfb9cd8b42a56448b4ec6/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
DICIPLINARY PROCEDURE:-
The following steps should be taken into consideration:
• Accurate statement of the problem- The first step is to ascertain the problem by seeking answer to the following questions:– Does this case call for a disciplinary action?– What exactly is the nature of the violation or offence?– Under what condition did it occur?– Which individual or individuals were involved in it?– When or how often, did the violation occur?
• Collecting facts bearing on the case- Before any action is taken in a case, it is essential to gather all the facts about it. A thorough examination of the case should be made within the stipulated time limit.
![Page 85: Organizing2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103114/555bfb9cd8b42a56448b4ec6/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
• Selection of tentative penalties- The kind of penalty to be imposed for an offence should be determined beforehand.
• Choice of Penalty- When a decision has been taken to impose a penalty, the punishment to be awarded should be such as would prevent a recurrence of the offence.
• Application of the Penalty- The application of the penalty involves a positive and assured attitude on the part of the management. If the disciplinary action is a simple reprimand, the executive should calmly and quickly dispose of the matter.
• Follow-up on disciplinary action- The ultimate purpose of disciplinary action is to maintain discipline, to ensure productivity, and avoid a repetition of the offence. A disciplinary action should, therefore, be evaluated in terms of its effectiveness after it has been taken.
