The research was conducted using a questionnaire method, the study was attended by 199 respondents. The research is burdened with an error in the selection of statistical sample units, which resulted from the respondents’ involvement and their truthfulness. The aim of the article is to assess the activities of employers from the private and state sectors in Poland, related to the delegation of employees to work in the home office, and to analyze the skills and possibilities of self-organization of work by employees. An important result of the survey was to demonstrate the differences in the behavior of public and private sector employers. The study shows that the private sector has adapted better to sudden changes than the state sector.

Post-privatization, public sector organizations were encouraged to borrow and learn from private sector firms. The popular belief was that the human resource practices followed by private sector organizations were far superior and more effective than those of the public sector organizations. However, this claim lacks empirical proof. This study adds to this body of knowledge by comparing the level of work engagement in private and public sector firms of India. Given that the leadership is crucial in setting the tone of an organization, the study also analyses the dominant leadership styles and their relationship to the levels of work engagement. The study is descriptive in nature and utilizes a structured questionnaire to collect data. Individuals currently employed in Indian public and private sector firms, in managerial roles, were invited to record their responses. The final sample consisted of 240 employees, with equal representation from both sectors. The collected data was then analysed using SPSS. The findings suggested that the dominant leadership styles were not significantly different in public and private sector organizations. Private sector employees were found to be more engaged and the leadership style appeared to be significantly related to the levels of engagement in public sector firms only.

É intrínseca a relação entre as universidades e a sociedade, em que uma influência a outra, e ambas são beneficiadas dessa relação. Entretanto, alguns autores tem refletido sobre se essa relação é equilibrada e se a resultante contribui para um ambiente socialmente democrático. Tendo por objetivo contrastar indicadores da educação superior com as reflexões de alguns autores, sob o enfoque do setor público e privado, este artigo levantou pesquisas empíricas sobre a evolução de matrículas em cursos de graduação no setor privado e público, números de instituições de educação superior públicas e privadas, programas de financiamento estudantil e de assistência estudantil. Por meio de análises interpretativistas, concluiu-se que o Estado tem direcionado o enfoque da educação superior para o setor privado, ao mesmo tempo em que tem promovido políticas públicas para o financiamento e assistência aos estudantes que desejam ingressar e permanecer em cursos de graduação. Palavras-Chave: Universidades. Gestão Universitária. Educação Superior. Indicadores. Abstract: The relationship between universities and society is intrinsic, in which one influence the other, and both benefit from this relationship. However, some authors have reflected whether this relationship is balanced and whether the resulting one contributes to a socially democratic environment. With the objective of contrasting higher education indicators whit the reflections of some authors, under the public and private sector approach, this article raised empirical research on the evolution of enrollment in undergraduate courses in the private and public sector, numbers of higher education institutions public and private, student finance and student assistance programs. Through interpretive analysis, it was conclude that the State has directed the focus of higher education on the private sector, while promoting public policies for financing and assisting students who wish to enter and remain in undergraduate courses.

This paper analyses the growth and structure of NPAs in priority and non-priority sector lending of public vis-a-vis private sector banks from the year 2004 to 2017. The exponential growth rate, co-efficient of correlation and co-efficient of variation has been calculated. The null and alternative hypothesis with respect to NPAs has been tested with t-test at 5% level of significance. It was found that, both the priority and nonpriority sector NPAs have contributed significantly to total NPAs of the banks. However, non-priority sector NPAs contribution to total NPAs was found to be more than priority sector NPAs, both in case of public as well as private sector banks from the year 2013 onwards. The reduction in entire NPAs is difficult for the banks in the short as well as long run, keeping in view the risks attached with the priority sector lending on the one hand and the social responsibility of the banking sector on the other hand. It is recommended that, government, policy makers, private and public sector banks should make efforts for reducing sector-wise NPA

This study focuses on the service quality and customer satisfaction among the private and public sector banks in India. Today customers are supposed to have awareness about the financial services provided by the banking sector. An attempt has therefore, been made in this paper to quantify the ‘awareness level’ of the customers and analyze the ‘service quality experience’ of the customers from their banks. The study has been carried out to compare the service quality experienced by customers of the public and private sector banks and to study the link between service quality and customer satisfaction. For that reason a well structured questionnaire was used to collect the views of customers on various service dimensions and the satisfaction of the customers regarding the services offered by the public and private sector banks. Various statistical tools like ANOVA, Factor Analysis and Multiple Regressions were used for analyzing the data collected on five service dimensions of SERVQUAL and satisfaction of customers. The results indicate that the private sector bank was better in terms of providing services and creating awareness about their products and services. The study also proves that an increase in service quality will most likely lead to customer satisfaction.

Background: Every country is affected by some form of malnutrition. Some governments and nutrition experts look to public-private partnerships (PPPs) to address the burden of malnutrition. However, nutrition-related PPPs face opposition, are difficult to form, and there is limited evidence of their effectiveness. Methods: We conducted a literature review and 30 semi-structured interviews with individuals involved in or researching nutrition-related PPPs to identify the factors that shape their creation and effectiveness in food systems. Results: Several factors make it difficult to establish nutrition-related PPPs in food systems: a lack of understanding of the causal pathways behind many nutrition problems; a weak architecture for the global governance of nutrition; power imbalances between public and private sector nutrition actors; and disagreements in the nutrition community on the advisability of engaging the private sector. These complexities in turn make it difficult for PPPs to be effective once established due to goal ambiguity and misalignment, resource imbalances, and weak accountability. Conclusion: If effective nutrition-related PPPs are to be established, private sector conflicts of interest must be addressed, trust deficits between private and public sector actors must be surmounted, and evidence must be assessed as to whether PPPs can achieve more for public health nutrition than private and public sector actors working separately.

Banking sector and its performance play an important role in an economy. The current scenario of Indian banking sector is very dynamic and competitive. To maintain market share it is necessary for banking institutions to acquire large customer base. Customers today are very much aware about various financial services and institutions, moreover they are spoilt for choice. Therefore they can only be retained by providing quality services. The present study focuses on the service quality and customer satisfaction among private and public sector banks in India. It also attempts to compare service quality gaps between customer expectation and satisfaction regarding banking service. The outcome of the study shows that service gap is lower in private sector banks than public sector banks. Reliability and assurance are the dimensions where no significant difference has been observed between public and private sector banks.

Abstract Over recent years pay levels in the public sector of the economy have come under increasing scrutiny. This paper provides an assessment of the key issues and challenges central to a comparison of wage levels in the private and public sector in Ireland. A review of the extant studies that have employed multivariate analysis to estimate the gap between public and private sector wages in Ireland indicates a wage premium in favour of public sector workers. However the actual magnitude of the earnings gap is difficult to accurately assess as the size of the premium varies markedly across these various studies. A number of possible options are suggested to guide the development of a fair system for assessing wage levels in the public sector.


The seemingly untamable Non-Performing Assets are leading the Indian banks towards a highly unstable environment. The financial soundness of the banks is mandatory for any economy considering it is one of the most significant and a pre-requisite of a stable economy. The present study examines the financial performance parameters of banks with a probable variation among public and private sector banks for a period between 2005 and 2018. The study is divided into three sections. The first section studies the financial performance of the Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs), Public & Private Sector Banks in three identified time bands of last thirteen years. The second section assesses the probable variation in asset quality among Private and Public Sector Banks through statistical inferences. The third section finally examines the probability of variations in asset quality in the three time bands identified in the study. The study concludes a very high volatility among the SCBs during the said period and found Private Sector Banks to be more consistent and bore better stability parameters compared to Public Sector Banks. The statistically inferred results through T-test, Welch test and Post-Hoc test support a significant variation among both the sectors along with presence of significant variations in asset quality.

The banks in India have over 67,000 branches located across the country. All these are classified into two major categories, nonscheduled banks and scheduled banks. Scheduled banks includes commercial banks and the co-operative banks. The public sector banks are accountable for more than 78 percent of total banking industry in India. Even though private sector banks came later into the market, due to their customer servicing and easy banking features they are also competing equally with already existing public sector banks. so it is very essential to analyze how their financial performance is influenced by number of factors which willfurther suggest them where they need to concentrate more. in this article we have analyzed the correlation between return on total assets and other financial variables of selected private and public banks in India.
