Scholars in health economics have been studying the relationship between healthcare expenditure and health outcomes for the last half-century. Researchers emphasized the increase of public health expenditure towards providing primary healthcare based on the logic that health expenditure has a direct effect on the health outcomes of the people. However, such studies have a lot of inconsistencies. Given the background, the present study has three research objectives. First, to investigate the effect of healthcare spending on multiple health outcomes in SAARC nations after controlling for country-specific health infrastructures and economic conditions. Second, to undertake a differential analysis of the effect of public and private healthcare spending (both aggregate and out of pocket) on specific health outcomes. Third, to explore the presence (if any) of the differential effect of health expenditure and health infrastructure variables on specific health outcome variables, including mortality and morbidity indicators. Based on a 20-year (1993–2012) panel data from seven SAARC countries, health expenditure was found to influence improved health outcomes in SAARC nations. In addition, the differential effect of public, private and out-of-pocket (OOP) health expenditure was observed on different health outcomes. Thus, OOP expenditures was found to be the major influencer of life expectancy, death rate and TB instances, while public expenditure was found to be influential for improving infant mortality rate (IMR). The present study supports the notion that disaggregated effects of health expenditure (by including the effect of public, private and OOP expenditures) are needed to get a complete understanding of the health expenditure–health outcome linkage. In addition, the findings emphasize on the role of proximal predictors of health outcomes (alongside expenditure variables in the same model) as important inclusion in the health expenditure-health outcome investigation.

COVID-19 pandemic has turned the lives of people upside down across all walks of life. The COVID-19 driven partial/full lockdowns across the globe confined millions behind the walls restricting their movement. The confinement of people has led to various disruptions in their social, economic and psychological well-being. The fear of catching the virus coupled with financial strain and social distancing has proliferated the anxiety and stress among the masses. COVID-19 has adversely impacted the progression of women’s empowerment. It is reported that a greater number of women compared to male counterparts have lost their jobs during the pandemic, especially those working in the industrial mix. Women since long have been facing the brunt of inequalities across different spheres and sectors. They have always assumed the role of primary caregivers, be it in the present context or the various outbreaks in the past. Theoretical background establishes the conspicuous impact of various outbreaks in the past leading to economic and social disruptions. Further, few have addressed the psychological aspects of such outbreaks or crises on the people, and the invidious impact on women-specific studies is limited, especially in the Indian context. Therefore, the present study explains the major changes and issues women face during COVID-19, especially during the lockdown phase. The study highlights the significant roles assumed by women during the lockdown period and throws light on the precarious situation wherein they have faced intimate partner violence. The exploratory study delves deeper into the primary subjects using interpretative phenomenological analysis.

The article is an investigative study drawn on the grounded theory approach, envisaging the relation between workplace bullying and employee behavioural outcomes among resident doctors in Indian healthcare organizations. Using an interpretative paradigm, the authors explored underlying psychological mechanisms among 48 participant doctors in light of India’s unique culture characterized by power distance and high collectivism. Findings suggest that the prevalence of bullying in Indian healthcare organizations impacts employee behavioural outcomes emerging as a major challenge in healthcare management. The authors further exhibit restricted or non-violation of resident doctors’ psychological contracts towards such diabolic acts at work due to the development of passive feelings in light of learned helplessness. The current study establishes that Indian resident doctors are less pretentious, and the protestations against supervisory mistreatment are subdued even before joining the medical profession. Indian kids being fostered with relationship-focused values, namely tolerance, patience and respect towards their elders/seniors from a very tender age develop feelings of passivity, which might result in limited or no violation of their psychological contract. Drawing on conservation of resources (COR) theory, forgiveness emerged as a coping mechanism in pernicious work culture, providing uniqueness to study. This qualitative research study promulgates the unique response mechanism of workplace bullying in the Indian context. The study results open new gateways to empirically analyse the relationship between bullying-response mechanisms in developing economies. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed in the present research study.
