The Public

Planning and management of curriculum and human resources in schools is precisely liable and precarious in nature. The present study addressed the matter while exploring the practices of educational planning and human resource management in public and private primary level schools in Punjab, Pakistan. The case studies of two public and private schools in Rawalpindi District of Punjab Province were conducted by interviewing the mangers and principles of private and public school respectively. The participant observations were also taken to substantiate the information provided by the respondents. The schools were selected on the basis of their reputation and high enrollment of the students. The findings of the study elaborated the differences in public and private schools with respect to educational planning and managing human resource. The public schools followed the standard curriculum designed by the Punjab text book board which is universal for all the public schools. The teachers are mostly on permanent position and experienced. Whereas in the private schools, international level curriculum is followed this differs from school to school. Every private school has their own curriculum which they followed according to the standard of the school. The manager of the school generally decides the nature of the curriculum and recruitment of the teacher on its own will and interests. The medium of instruction is English in private schools, while public school used both national and international language. As far as teacher competence is concern, the public school teachers are more experienced as compare to private schools as they are working at the same school for a longer time period due to which better able to manage various task in the school and also take part in educational planning. On the other hand, in private school, fresh and most of the time untrained young females are hired. For these employees, professional development and retention is very important for the managers. Selecting and recruiting new teacher is very tedious job as well as it also affects the student’s performances and achievements. It is indicated that the owner of the private school was in continues struggle and in apprehension of hiring, and retaining their staff by providing them extra bonuses and facilities at school, such as leaves, time flexibility, and reward etc.

To understand emotional experiences of the children and identify their  psychosocial  needs    studying their drawings is  one of the  significant methods.Children are an important group  who are  exposed  to violence  in various ways  in the family, at school, in virtual environment, via television, in their country, in health system. Research sample is a group of  10-11 years old girl and boys at public and private school.The violence phenomena  reflected in the paintigs are mostly  experienced  in the  family and among children.In general,  physical and verbal violence are described.In paintings  violence  perpetrators are mostly adult males.  50% of victims are  female, 46,4 % of are male, 57% of victims are children and 39.2% of  are adults. In drawings of children in private schools violence phenomena is mostly pictured at parks and garden area. In drawings of children in public school the violence is pictured in their homes besides park and garden area. The children at public school pictured more tools of violence (gun, knife) in their drawings. The majority of children who draw guns are girls. In drawings of children in public school human figures are stick figures and incomplete, in the drawings of children at private school the human figures are mostly pictured in details. Based on the results we can assume that the public schools in North Cyprus need to be improved academically and in both public and private schools the psychological counselling and guidance departments need to be developed and supported. In this study the analysis of drawings emphasize the children’s perception or experience of violence and also reflect the children’s problems with the adults and give clues about the solutions of these problems. The  gathered results contribute to understanding the emotional and social level of the children in Northern Cyprus.

Not For Profit

This chapter examines human resource management (HRM) in organizations in the not-for-profit sector. It examines the use of HRM practices relating to recruitment, selection, training, reward, performance management, communication, and diversity in not-for profit organizations, drawing on data collected via the Cranet survey. In the light of ongoing debate about how the not-for-profit sector differs from, or is similar to, the public and private sectors, we compare the findings across sectors. Furthermore, in line with commentary about the increasing importance of HRM in this sector, we compare the data collected in 2014/15 with the findings from the 2009/10 survey. We show that many of the HRM practices used in the not-for-profit sector are similar to those used in the public and private sectors, making it difficult to identify a unique not-for-profit approach to HRM. However, we also suggest that some elements of the commonly cited values-based approach to HRM remain.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how the institutional context influences human resource management (HRM) policies in the public and private sector in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach The convergent parallel mixed methods approach was adopted for this study. Survey data were collected from 122 HR managers across public and private sector organizations in Nigeria as well as 13 qualitative interviews. ANCOVA was used to analyse quantitative data while thematic analysis was used to analyse qualitative data in order to understand the influence of institutions on HRM in the public and private sector in Nigeria. Findings Findings indicate that while coercive, mimetic and normative institutional mechanisms influenced HRM in both the public and private sector, the influence of coercive mechanisms was significantly higher in the public sector, largely due to the poor enforcement of labour legislation and attempts by private sector organizations to adopt neo-liberal approaches to HRM. Originality/value The study provides an understanding of the institutional context of HRM in Nigeria by highlighting how varying degrees of pressures from the environment create internal diversity in HRM approaches in the public and private sector.

Pros And Cons

This study investigates the relationship between human resource management and employees’ job satisfaction in public and private undertakings. The results revealed a positive relationship between managers and employees’ job satisfaction. The analysis is based on a sample of 100 employees which were randomly chosen from both the sectors. The happier people are within their job, the more satisfied they are said to be. This paper surveys both the sectors in most of the aspects of analysis. However both sectors have their own pros and cons which will be made clear while evaluating job-satisfaction levels among the employees of both the sector. And given that the reward system in the public sector systematically differs from that of the private sector (in terms of pay, benefits, and psychic value), it seems likely that studies of satisfaction levels among private-sector employees may not be applicable to public-sector employees.Int.

Public And Private

Households pay a premium to live in houses assigned to high quality public schools, and the housing market yields information about the demand for public school quality. The current study estimates a two-stage house price hedonic emphasizing the role that private schools play in the willingness to pay for public school quality. The elasticity of house prices with respect to public school quality is 0.15, and 0.04 with respect to private school quality. The price elasticity of demand for public schooling is −1.72, with an income elasticity of 0.31. Public and private schools are substitutes, with a cross-price elasticity of 0.32. A school choice program that reduced private school tuition by 10 percent would reduce the willingness to pay for public school performance by 1.9 percent. The magnitude of the results generally varies markedly between large and small houses, with large houses more responsive to public and private schooling variables.

Overall Performance

PURPOSE: To characterize the writing skills of students, to compare the performance of students in public and private schools, and to identify enhancements in the course of the school year.METHODS: Three texts (narrative, game rules description, and a note or letter) written by 160 students from public and private schools were analyzed based on a specific protocol. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed. To compare the overall performance by the protocol between school grades, the Kruskal-Wallis and Miller tests were used, and to compare results as to schools (private and public), Mann-Whitney test was used.RESULTS: Median values of aesthetic aspects, coherence, clarity, and concision for game rules description among public school students remained one point below the top score. Students from private schools achieved the highest score at medians. When comparing schools, private institutions had students with better performances, with significant difference. As to grades, statistical difference was found between the fourth and sixth grades of public schools and between the fourth and fifth grades of private schools.CONCLUSION: Most of the private school children showed consolidation of skills assessed in the different grades. However, public school children had this consolidation only at the sixth grade. Students from private schools had better performances compared to those from public schools. There is tendency to evolution from the fourth to sixth grades in public schools. However, the overall performance is similar in all grades in private schools.

Abstract Objective: Our article was prepared to outline how Humen Resource Managememnt developed in Hungary and Slovakia. We considered it was important to highlight in light of empirical data on the most important features of this development in both countries. Methodology: Our research is based on the Cranet international research questionnaire. The survey was carried out in Hungary and Slovakia in 2015 and 2016. More than five hundred (527) organizations took part in the survey, and the findings of the report are based on normal statistical methods (mean, frequency, distribution). Our analysis was carried out with the help of SPSS software Findings: In Hungary and Slovakia, the ongoing economic transformation has produced significant changes in the practice of Human Resource Management (HRM) in both institutions and enterprises and its evaluation. The organization has become an increasingly important factor in the strategic significance of the function itself and of HR departments in general, and this survey details the personnel or human resources (HR) management policies and practices of organizations or enterprises in both the public and private sectors. Value Added: We believe that through our article we are able to expose the similar and different characteristics of HRM in the two countries examined. Recommendations: We believe that the similarities and differences between countries are not only to be reviewed in traditional areas, as in language, culture or economic development, it is worth looking at areas such as similarities and differences of HRM.
