A common concern of senior officials in government health
care sector is the low motivation level of health staff
and no feeling of ownership. There are several reasons for
the low morale of the staff. They have issues related to
their promotions, postings, housing facilities and educational
facilities for their children. There is no incentive for
good workers. There is a need to study the subject in detail
and to understand the exact causes and solutions. Based
on a qualitative study, strategies could be developed to
the boost the morale of the staff and a Human Resource Policy
can be prepared for the health departments of the states.
A Training Policy could also be prepared as a component
of HR policy.
