This paper examines the impact that HR recruitment and selection policies and procedures have on organisational performance at the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT (AITI-KACE). Drawing from a sample of 39 respondents, the study used the sequential explanatory mixed method design. Quantitative data and analysis were obtained using questionnaires. Qualitative data and analysis were obtained through interviews and focus group discussions. Results from the study revealed that AITI-KACE has a policy on recruitment and selection, which the organisation mostly adheres to. The sources of recruitment and selection were both internal and external. The results also revealed a significant link between recruitment and selection practices on organisational performance. The outcome of the study further showed that there was no significant link between recruitment and selection practices and the employment of competent staff. Political and socio-economic elements are primary influences on the selection of candidates. The study proposed that all prospective workers should be handled equally throughout the recruitment and selection processes. The study further recommended that formal guidelines and procedures on the recruitment and selection processes are appropriately adhered to, to guarantee that the best and most deserving workers are engaged.
The article summarises arguments and counter-arguments within the scientific debate on the generated waste impact on public health. The main goal of the conducted research is analysis of accidental transmission effects in the chain «waste management system – public health». The systematisation of sources and approaches to solving the problem of waste management system for the population health proved that over 900 publications on the researched topic were cited by in the Web of Science database. At the same time, there are the TOP-5 leading countries in which the problem of the generated waste impact on public health is actively studied: the USA (198 publications), India (107 publications), China (103 publications), England (86 publications), Italy (49 publications). The urgency of solving this scientific problem lies in the fact that in the process of urbanisation and constant industry development, the world waste level is increasing. It provokes a negative impact on the population health. In the article, the analysis of accidental transmission effects in the chain «waste management system – public health» is carried out in the following logical sequence: bibliometric analysis of publications on the researched topic; multiple correlation-regression analysis; check of the built model adequacy using the average approximation error. The conducted research tools were: VOSviewer (an application for producing and visualising bibliometric networks) and MS Excel. The study period was 2000-2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic. Dynamic indicators of the waste volume and disposal, number of the first-time registered disease cases in Ukraine were chosen as the study object. These indicators provide an opportunity to describe significance of the waste management system impact on the population morbidity level. The article presents results of the multiple correlation-regression analysis. It confirmed that with an increase in the waste volume by 1%, the number of the first-time registered disease cases will rise by 0.73%. The study empirically confirms the constructed model adequacy regarding influence of the generated and disposed waste volume and the population health level. The research results can be useful for further scientific activity on this topic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
