“…In Brazil, as in other countries, there are different specific rules and conditions according to the type of employment relationship. There are two types of employment contracts in the hospital: permanent employment contract regulated by the Labor Code and permanent employment contracts regulated by the federal authority [ 18 , 19 ]. Statutory employment is governed by a set of special rules, which includes, among other things, lifetime contracts from which employees cannot be discharged, except for misconduct.…”

Background Measuring the patient safety climate of a health service provides important information about the safety status at a given time. This study aimed to determine the factors influencing the patient safety climate in Intensive Care Units. Methods An analytical and cross-sectional study conducted in 2017 and 2018 in two adult Intensive Care Units of a Brazilian Teaching Hospital. The Safety Attitudes Questionnaire instrument was applied with the multidisciplinary teams to determine the factors influencing the patient safety climate. Data were double entered into a database and processed using the R (version 3.5.0) statistical software. Position, central tendency and dispersion measures were taken and absolute and relative frequencies, mean and confidence intervals were calculated for the quantitative variables. Linear regression was performed to verify the effect of variables on the SAQ domains. Variables with a p-value of less than 0.25 were selected for multivariate analysis. Results A total of 84 healthcare providers participated in the study. The mean Safety Attitudes Questionnaire score was 59.5, evidencing a negative climate. The following factors influenced the safety climate: time since course completion, professional category, type of employment contract, complementary professional training, and weekly workload. Conclusions The factors identified indicate items for planning improvements in communication, teamwork, work processes, and management involvement, aiming to ensure care safety and construct a supportive safety climate.

“…International data on wage differentials are mixed, and it is not easy to draw generalizations based on country patterns 3 . In some developing and developed countries, such as Australia (Cai and Liu 2008) Brazil (Emilio, Ponczek and Botelho 2012), Greece (Papapetrou 2006), Haiti (Terrel, 1993, India (Azam and Prakash 2015;Glinskaya and Lokshin 2005), Ireland (Foley and O'Callaghan 2009) Italy (Carlo, Lucifora and Origo 2005;Depalo and Giordano 2011), Pakistan (Aslam and Kingdon 2009;Hyder 2002;Hyder and Reilly 2005;Naser 2000) and Romania (Voinea and Mihaescu 2012), there is evidence of a significant wage premium in favour of the public sector. On the other hand, in cases such as Estonia (Leping 2005;Leping 2006), Germany (Dustmann and van Soest 1998) and Poland (Adamchik and Bedi 2000) the bias seems to be in the other direction, with a negative public wage premium (or a positive private wage premium).…”

This paper measures and analyzes the dynamics of the public-private wage differential in the West Bank and Gaza for the period before and during the "second Intifada" using data from the Palestinian Labour Force Survey (PLFS) of the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS). Because the distribution of workers' individual characteristics, such as skills, and the "returns" to these characteristics may differ across workers, the wage differential is decomposed into two components: an 'endowment' effect and a 'returns' effect. The results show that in the pre-Intifada period, the wage gap between the public and private sectors narrowed in both the West Bank and Gaza. However, a sharp increase is seen after the outbreak of the Intifada. Moreover, most of this increase comes from an increase in "returns" to skills composition in the public sector, (unexplained effect), rather than a change in the skills composition of public sector workers, (explained effect). Using recent econometric quantile regression techniques, the analysis of the public-private sector wage gap from 1998 to 2006, at various points along the wage distribution, shows that the wage premium, (penalty), for the public sector varies across the distribution, being higher, (lower), at the lowest end of the wage distribution and decreasing (increasing) along the wage distribution; it becomes negative in the top percentiles.
