Arbejdsvärdiorientering og personaleplanlägning - et blik på sygeplejerskeprofessionen
Sammanfattning
The match between workplace values and the nurses work values is identified as the key factor
which differentiates efficient and inefficient recruitment and staff retention. However, many hospital
man-agers are guided by an economical focus in their manpower planning and do not take advantage
of this opportunity. Based on theory, existing studies and new empirical data regarding work values,
this article challenges the traditional manpower planning. Data consists of single person interviews
with three hospital managers, seven nurses from a Danish hospital in 2012 and eight interviews with
recently qualified nurses who represent the perspective of the new work generation. While nurses
with short working experience emphasize the importance of the relation to their managers, the more
experienced nurses are more motivated by the contact with the patient. Inclusion of nurses’ work
values and working experience can increase the output of manpower planning regarding recruitment
and absenteeism.
