The Subject

Abstract Collaboration between doctors and patient is a perfect example of a specific kind of collaboration in the organization. Difficulties with establish proper relations between psychiatrists and patients with depressive disorders and schizophrenia is the subject of the paper. The thesis of the work assumes that psychiatrists and patients belong to the totally different “worlds” what is the cause of inability to create proper mutual collaboration between them. In 2009 a questionnaire survey was conducted at public mental hospitals of the Lodz region. Both doctors and patients notice a number of communication barriers and factors hampering the mutual cooperation, at the same time demonstrating the will to agree and cooperate. The proper contact and collaboration affect mental disposition and motivation for the process of recovery from the illness. Conclusion: To a large extent not only a course of the treatment, but also a correct social functioning of both groups of the patients depends on the quality of the interrelation between them and psychiatrists. It appears, however, that the hierarchy of obstacles of successful therapy is completely different among the doctors and patients

Among the various suggestions for improving the Singapore economy, a high-level task-force known as the Economic Committee in its 1986 report has suggested that Employee Stock Option Schemes (ESOS) "should be encouraged, as this is a good way to foster greater commitment of employees to their companies' financial performance". This paper discusses the status of Employee Stock Option Schemes in Singapore. An examination of the companies listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Singapore shows that only a minority of the Singapore incorporated and listed companies have offered ESOS. The study also finds that ESOS tends to be offered by the bigger companies within each sector of the economy. The results of a recent questionnaire survey show that among the companies that offered ESOS, motivating employees is the most popular objective for offering such schemes and these schemes are judged to be satisfactory in achieving it.
