In Difficult Times: Influences of Attitudes and Expectations on Training and Redeployment Opportunities in a Hospital Contraction Programme.
Hyman, Jeff; Watson, Sandra; Munro, Pauline
International Journal of Training and Development, v6 n3 p183-97 Sep 2002
Employees in a British hospital (n=119) involved in downsizing and staff redeployment were surveyed. Traditions of employment security in the National Health Service and increasing uncertainty in the work environment provoked negative attitudes and reluctance to participate in retraining and redeployment. These attitudes were not associated with age, education, or profession. (Contains 32 references.) (SK)
