“…The concept of desirable quality of worklife to employees is always meaningful if the organisation enables the workforce to achieve AGJSR 41,1 satisfaction from the company's cultural values. Eche, Eche, and Aronowitz (2022) pointed out that quality of worklife among physicians and professional medical care personnel is the degree to which they can satisfy essential individual desires and needs via their experience at work while offering quality healthcare delivery. The desired quality of worklife in Nigerian healthcare and other African countries is not available.…”

PurposeThe mass exodus of the professional healthcare workforce has become a cankerworm for a developing nation like Nigeria, and this worsens the already depleted healthcare systems in underdeveloped nation. This study investigated the rationale behind medical workers' brain-drain syndrome and the quality healthcare delivery in the Nigerian public healthcare sector.Design/methodology/approachTo stimulate an understanding of the effect of the phenomenon called brain drain, the study adopted a diagnostic research design to survey the public healthcare personnel in government hospitals. The study administered a battery of adapted research scales of different measures to confirm the variables of interest of this study on a probability sampling strategy. The study surveyed 450 public healthcare sector employees from four government hospitals to gather pertinent data. The study used a structural equation model (SEM) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) to analyse the collected data from the medical personnel of government hospitals.FindingsThe findings of this study are significant as postulated. The study discovered that poor quality worklife experienced by Nigerian medical personnel was attributed to the brain-drain effect and poor healthcare delivery. The study further demonstrated that job dissatisfaction suffered among the public healthcare workforce forced the workforce to migrate to the international labour market, and this same factor is a reason for poor healthcare delivery. Lastly, the study discovered that inadequate remuneration and pay discouraged Nigerian professionals and allied healthcare workers from being productive and ultimately pushed them to the global market.Originality/valuePractically, this study has shown three major elements that caused the mass movement of Nigerian healthcare personnel to other countries of the world and that seems novel given the peculiarity of the Nigerian labour market. The study is original and novel as much study has not been put forward in the public healthcare sector in Nigeria concerning this phenomenon.

Covid-19 has been identified to be the cause of deadly illness. It is hazardous, and crushed the population infected with the virus. This virus paralysed the daily work of public globally. Irre- spective of situation, whether regular or during disaster, it is nurses who belong to the frontline and are accountable for comprehensive nursing care for all variety of patients. The present study aimed to assess the challenges experienced by staff nurses; correlate the aspects of challenges experienced by staff nurses; and associate aspects of challenges with selected demographic variables. A descriptive study was adopted for the present study using quantitative approach. Permission was sought from hospitals. The tool was distributed to the staff nurses after explain- ing the purpose of the study. Purposive sampling technique was solicited. The calculated sample size was 244, however, 270 nurses completed the self reports. The questionnaire was tested for reliability using Cronbach' s alpha for each aspect and it ranged from 0.71 to 0.82. Questionnaire consisted of 36 items and 7 aspects. The findings showed that majority (72.6%) of staff nurses self reported to have faced the challenge of physical exhaustion and mental stress' and the least reported challenge (22.2%) was the aspect of fear and anxiety. On further computation, it was found all the seven aspects i.e. fear and anxiety, caring aspects, physical exhaustion and mental stress, personal sacrifice, facilities and resources, availability of supports and ethical challenges were correlated at 0.01 level. With regard to association, not all aspects were found to have significant association. It is concluded that a profound understanding of these challenges can help health care organisations to resolve these challenges and provide evidence-based information and implement psychological interventions.

“…The concept of brain drain impacts medical personnel and has a negative consequence on the organisations' cultural values (Eche et al, 2022) that leads to burnout and stress which can negatively trigger the well-being of the employees. The medical personnel quality of life and well-being is not available in Nigeria that is why the country loses its most skilled personnel through migration to developed countries.…”

The aim of the article is to assess the competitive potential of Poland's regions, in the context of effective strategy building for further development thereof. Design/methodology/approach: The article employs the method of critical investigation of the literature on the subject as well as presents an analysis of statistical data on selected sociotourist infrastructure instruments. An examination of two selected infrastructure elements was carried out for the purpose of the article, which can form a basis for formulation of strategies to improve the competitiveness and development of regions in Poland. Results:The Authors present the issue of regional competitiveness, with particular focus on the methods of assessing and building the competitiveness of regions through selection of an optimal strategy for further development thereof. In this context, two selected instruments of socio-tourist infrastructure are discussed, which can form a basis for formulation of strategies to improve the competitiveness and development of regions in Poland. The infrastructure elements presented serve as an example of areas characterized by great potential for growth, as a consequence of years of neglect (health care), or constrained by independent external COVID-19 pandemic associated conditions (accommodation industry).
