Iraq has been deeply affected by corruption, particularly during the years of wars that left a heavy imprint on the country, at all levels of social functionality, including the public administrative system. Corruption is deeply rooted in Iraq, as it seemed to gain proportions with the coming of the Islamic State to power. The topic was chosen particularly because the issue of corruption represents a very important subject, also being a social phenomenon that affects the administration along with the society of Iraq. Moreover, with the coming of the Islamic State to power, corruption reached its peaks, as the organization gradually destroyed the administrative system. Along with the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime, Iraq suffered from the outcomes of the disastruous management at the level of government. Because of the lack of resources, along with the unequal distribution of goods among the people, corruption spread just as a malignant disease in the country. This eventually had a great impact on the proper functionality of the public system, as the people were left behind, and no effort was put in to bring about the changes needed by the population. Although several efforts were made by organizations in order to find solutions to the problems related to corruption, little has been done at this time. Iraq is still struggling to reach a stable line, and it will prove extremely difficult for the outside parties to address the most pressing issues of the country.
伊拉克深受腐败的影响,特别是在给该国留下沉重烙印的战争年代,在社会功能的各个层面,包括公共行政系统都受到腐败的影响。腐败在伊拉克根深蒂固,随着伊斯兰国(Islamic State)掌权,腐败似乎变得越来越严重。之所以选择这个题目,是因为腐败问题是一个非常重要的问题,也是一个影响伊拉克政府和社会的社会现象。此外,随着伊斯兰国掌权,腐败达到顶峰,该组织逐渐破坏了行政系统。随着萨达姆政权的垮台,伊拉克遭受了政府一级灾难性管理的后果。由于缺乏资源,加上人民之间商品分配不均,腐败就像一种恶性疾病一样在这个国家蔓延。这最终对公共系统的正常运作产生了很大的影响,因为人们被抛在后面,没有努力去带来人口所需要的变化。虽然各组织为寻找解决腐败问题的办法作出了若干努力,但目前成效甚微。伊拉克仍在努力实现稳定,外部各方要解决该国最紧迫的问题将极其困难。

Iraqs Public Administration Policies: An Overview 伊拉克公共行政政策:综述
Pub Date : 2017-04-12 DOI: 10.4172/2315-7844.1000206

Abstract The field of public administration has become over the course of the recent years, a very important one, being concerned primarily with political organizations, the definition of the implementation of government policy. It is centrally concerned with the organization of government policies and programmes, as well as with the officials in charge of the administrative systems. As for the geographical choice, Iraq was chosen particularly because it reflects the interest of the author, but also because its area of governance did not have yet the chance to be thoroughly studied. Another motivation for the choice resides with the fact that the waves of conflicts that took place in Iraq eventually modified the system to some extent, as well as the presence of the Islamic State in the area. The article is focused on the measures taken by the government in order to bring about the changes that are needed in Iraq, as well as providing a description of the projects that are implemented to fulfill the above-mentioned purposes. It was found that the projects influenced the system to some extent, but there are still more actions to be undertaken in order to bring the country to a stable line.
近年来,公共管理领域已经成为一个非常重要的领域,主要涉及政治组织,政府政策的定义和实施。它主要涉及政府政策和方案的组织,以及负责行政系统的官员。至于地理选择,特别选择伊拉克是因为它反映了作者的兴趣,但也因为它的治理领域还没有机会得到彻底的研究。做出这一选择的另一个动机是,伊拉克发生的冲突浪潮最终在某种程度上改变了这一制度,以及伊斯兰国在该地区的存在。这篇文章的重点是政府为实现伊拉克所需的变革而采取的措施,并提供了为实现上述目的而实施的项目的描述。人们发现,这些项目在一定程度上影响了该系统,但仍有更多的行动需要采取,以便使该国达到稳定的水平。

This paper appraised the strategies put in place by Nigeria government to combat drought and desertification in the North-east geo-political zone of Nigeria and establishing the situation at present, which is more of a rhetoric than practical. It also established the absence of the citizens input in the programs which as a matter of fact constitutes a major reason for perceive failure of the strategies. Literature on concept of drought, and desertification as well as the nexus between the two phenomena were reviewed. The study adopted the survey design approach. Population of the study was the North-east geo-political zone of Nigeria comprising six states: Adamawa, Borno, Bauchi, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe. Purposive sampling technique was used in the selection of sample size comprising of six local councils from Adamawa, Bauchi and Gombe states; the reason being that they share common characteristics on the challenges of drought and desert encroachments. Cluster sampling technique was adopted in selection of 1,200 respondents of which 72.6% response rate was recorded. The research instrument used were a structured and validated questionnaire complemented by a structured interview schedule. The study finding reveals that the strategies adopted by government in combating drought and desertification has a major defect in that it is not citizen oriented (since evidences from the survey points to the fact they were unaware of government programs on combating drought and desertification in their area). The study, thus recommended that for strategies of combating drought and desertification to work in the North-east geo-political zone of Nigeria or any other place in Nigeria, citizens’ input into such strategy must be a top priority. That way, they will evidently adopt and own them and off cause protect than where necessary.
本文评价了尼日利亚政府在尼日利亚东北地缘政治区实施的防治干旱和荒漠化的战略,并建立了目前的情况,这更多是一种修辞而不是实际。它还确定了公民在项目中投入的缺失,这实际上构成了战略失败的主要原因。综述了干旱与荒漠化的概念以及两者之间的关系。本研究采用调查设计方法。该研究的人口是尼日利亚东北部地缘政治区,包括六个州:阿达马瓦、博尔诺、包奇、贡贝、塔拉巴和约贝。有目的抽样技术用于样本量的选择,包括来自阿达马瓦州、包奇州和贡贝州的六个地方议会;原因是它们在干旱和沙漠侵蚀的挑战上有共同的特点。采用整群抽样方法抽取1200名调查对象,调查回复率为72.6%。使用的研究工具是一个结构化和有效的问卷,辅以结构化的访谈时间表。研究结果表明,政府在防治干旱和荒漠化方面采取的战略有一个主要缺陷,那就是它不是以公民为导向的(因为调查的证据表明,他们不知道政府在他们的地区防治干旱和荒漠化的计划)。因此,这项研究建议,要使防治干旱和荒漠化的战略在尼日利亚东北地缘政治区或尼日利亚任何其他地方发挥作用,公民对这种战略的投入必须成为最高优先事项。这样,他们显然会采用并拥有它们,并且在必要时不受保护。

In productive enterprises, timely preparation and procurement of goods is very important due to that related costs to the production and working capitals of organization is severely affected. In available scientific methods, including MRP, regardless of resource constraints and other factors, the amount of lead time of goods has always considered to be fixed. In this paper, then a model will present that lead time of goods is considered as dynamic by using statistical and also effectiveness models from internal and external environment variables of organization and optimized the cost of production in order to reduce the latency in timely receiving and balancing the warehousing time. At the end, researcher with the implementation of issue in a simulated environment and compare it with the real environment, shows the advantage of proposed model compared to other models by numbers and figures.
在生产企业中,及时准备和采购货物是非常重要的,因为这对组织的生产和营运资金的相关成本产生了严重影响。在现有的科学方法中,包括MRP,不管资源限制和其他因素,货物的交货时间一直被认为是固定的。在这篇论文中,我们将利用组织内部和外部环境变量的统计模型和有效性模型,提出一个模型,将货物的交货时间视为动态的,并优化生产成本,以减少及时接收的延迟和平衡仓储时间。最后,研究人员将问题在仿真环境中实现,并与真实环境进行了对比,通过数字和图形显示了所提出模型与其他模型相比的优势。

The study examined the effect of e-government on service delivery in Federal University Ndufu-Alike Ikwo, Ebonyi State Nigeria. Descriptive research design was adopted to guide the study, two hypotheses were formulated and tested. Chisquare non-parametric statistics was used to test the hypotheses. The study revealed among other things that e-government has strong positive effect on service delivery by enhancing the performance of workers. This is because the use of ICT in work-relate activities reduces waste of time, delays and mistakes on the part of workers in the discharge of their duties. Based on this, recommendations were made major among them is that the Institution should improve on the current ICT infrastructure and strategy and continue to improve on the internet access and digital divide among staff in order to continue achieving their organizational goals

Contrasting between Focusing, Real-world and Significant Events inAgenda-Setting: Introducing a New Typology of âÂÂAnchorâ Events 议题设置中聚焦事件、现实事件与重大事件的对比——引入âÂÂAnchorâÂÂ事件的新类型
Pub Date : 2017-02-10 DOI: 10.4172/2315-7844.1000202
Mergen Dyussenov
The focusing event theory has been substantially formed by contributions of John Kingdon by offering a somewhat broader definition of focusing events through the prism of his multiple streams theory, and Thomas Birkland, who introduced better precision by listing a number of basic characteristics of focusing events (e.g. using the example of 9/11 terrorist attacks as a focusing event, as in Birkland 2004). These major contributions notwithstanding, there still seems to be a strikingly persistent absence of clarity in defining the notion of "focusing events" within the agenda-setting stage of the policy process, and a lack of a general typology of related significant, or key events. Even somewhat more disturbing is that, inspired by Birkland’s notion of focusing events, a number of subsequent scholars attempted to develop this theory, unintentionally further conflating the meaning of focusing events. Thus, it is important not only to more clearly define focusing events but also to develop an operationalizable typology of a broader set of related anchor events as applied to agenda-setting. It is precisely these two issues that form the analytical essence and contributions this paper aims to achieve. The focusing event theory has become increasingly vital to explain a wide range of social and policy-related events, e.g. 9/11, large-scale earthquakes, major healthcare reforms in a given jurisdiction etc.
聚焦事件理论基本上是由John Kingdon和Thomas Birkland的贡献形成的,前者通过他的多流理论提供了聚焦事件的更广泛的定义,后者通过列出聚焦事件的一些基本特征(例如,使用9/11恐怖袭击的例子作为聚焦事件,如Birkland 2004)来提高精确度。尽管有这些主要贡献,但在政策进程的议程设定阶段,似乎仍然明显缺乏明确定义“重点事件”的概念,并且缺乏相关重大或关键事件的一般类型。更令人不安的是,受Birkland聚焦事件概念的启发,后来的一些学者试图发展这一理论,无意中进一步混淆了聚焦事件的含义。因此,重要的是不仅要更清楚地定义重点事件,而且要制定一套适用于议程设置的更广泛的相关锚定事件的可操作类型。正是这两个问题构成了本文的分析本质和贡献。聚焦事件理论在解释广泛的社会和政策相关事件方面变得越来越重要,例如9/11、大规模地震、特定司法管辖区的重大医疗改革等。

This study attempts to understand the causes and levels of work stress and burnout in a quantitative context. A mix method was adopted in which issues of organizational politics was also explored by using a qualitative approach. The sample was derived from a department of the South African Public Service and three quantitative questionnaires, namely the ‘Work Life Experience Questionnaire’, ‘Maslach’s Burnout Questionnaire’ and a ‘Biographical Questionnaire’, were the measuring tools for this study. The sample constituted of 341 senior officials whose positions ranged from Assistant Director to the Director General and 231 questionnaires were completed. The qualitative aspect used semi structured questionnaires as well as individual interviews. A cross-sectional approach was adopted. The results indicated that stress levels are significant high within and outside the work environment. One of the outstanding conjectures of this study is to investigate the relationship between stress and burnout in the post-apartheid era. The study also reveals that organizational politics plays a big role in influencing stress levels which leads to burnout. The aim of the study is to make national government departments aware of the relationship between job stress and burnout as well as the role that organizational politics played amongst senior government officials, post 1994 apartheid era.
本研究试图在定量的背景下了解工作压力和倦怠的原因和水平。采用了混合方法,其中组织政治问题也通过使用定性方法进行了探讨。样本来自南非公共服务部门,三个定量问卷,即“工作生活经验问卷”,“马斯拉克倦怠问卷”和“传记问卷”,是本研究的测量工具。抽样包括341名高级官员,其职位从助理司长到总干事不等,完成了231份调查表。定性方面使用半结构化问卷以及个人访谈。采用了横断面方法。结果表明,工作环境内外的压力水平都非常高。本研究的一个突出的猜想是调查后种族隔离时代压力和倦怠之间的关系。该研究还表明,组织政治在影响压力水平方面发挥着重要作用,从而导致倦怠。这项研究的目的是使国家政府部门意识到工作压力和倦怠之间的关系,以及组织政治在1994年后种族隔离时代高级政府官员中发挥的作用。

A Measure of Strategic Decision-Making in Non-profit MembershipAssociations 非营利性会员协会战略决策的测度
Pub Date : 2017-01-22 DOI: 10.4172/2315-7844.1000201

The goal of this investigation was to construct a comprehensive instrument for measuring strategic decisionmaking in non-profit membership organizations. Based on a literature review, the multiple-item measurement development procedures suggested as a guideline and philosophy by Churchill and Spector were used to identify eight dimensions to measure strategic decision-making: decision quality, decision routines, procedural rationality, procedural justice, affective conflict, cognitive conflict, understanding, and decision commitment. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) validated the constructed measures.
本研究的目的是建立一个全面的工具来衡量非营利性会员组织的战略决策。在文献回顾的基础上,采用Churchill和Spector提出的多项目测量开发程序作为指导和哲学,确定了衡量战略决策的八个维度:决策质量、决策常规、程序合理性、程序公正、情感冲突、认知冲突、理解和决策承诺。验证性因子分析(CFA)验证了所构建的措施。

In India, though Tamil Nadu is one of the best performing states in health, it is losing its importance in many areas. There is no specialist in Community Health Centres (CHCs) functioning in Tamil Nadu; all specialist posts are vacant, though there is excess number of doctors in primary health centres (PHCs) and enough number of SCs (sub-centres), PHCs and CHCs. The number of PHCs functioning without lady doctors is also the maximum in Tamil Nadu. The shortfall of health workers in PHCs and CHCs is also very much, female health workers (the 2nd highest) and male health workers (the third highest among the states taken for discussion). In the shortfall of female health assistants in PHCs also Tamil Nadu shows a backward position. Operation theatre facility is available only in 6% of PHCs functioning in Tamil Nadu, but Gujarat is having this facility in all its PHCs. On the basis of rural population served, rural area covered, number of villages covered and radial distance covered, Tamil Nadu is not a better placed state. The budget allocation in revenue budget is continuously falling and the fall is very much in Tamil Nadu in comparison with other states except Odisha. All these force the people of Tamil Nadu to make use of private hospitals instead of public healthcare sector (only about 40%).
在印度,虽然泰米尔纳德邦是卫生领域表现最好的邦之一,但它在许多领域正在失去其重要性。泰米尔纳德邦的社区保健中心没有专家;尽管初级保健中心(初级保健中心)的医生人数过多,而初级保健中心、初级保健中心和初级保健中心的医生人数足够,但所有专家职位都空缺。在泰米尔纳德邦,没有女医生的初级保健中心的数量也是最多的。初级保健中心和保健中心的卫生工作者短缺也很严重,女性卫生工作者(第二高)和男性卫生工作者(在讨论的各州中第三高)。在初级保健中心女性保健助理的短缺方面,泰米尔纳德邦也处于落后地位。在泰米尔纳德邦,只有6%的初级保健医院有手术室设施,但古吉拉特邦的所有初级保健医院都有手术室设施。从服务的农村人口、覆盖的农村地区、覆盖的村庄数量和覆盖的径向距离来看,泰米尔纳德邦并不是一个更好的邦。收入预算中的预算分配持续下降,与奥里萨邦以外的其他邦相比,泰米尔纳德邦的下降幅度很大。所有这些都迫使泰米尔纳德邦人民利用私立医院而不是公共医疗保健部门(只有大约40%)。

Work related behaviors and attitudes are affected by organizational citizenship behavior and organizational justice. These two play a vital role in the effective working of an organization. No effective study is conducted on the relationship of organization justice and organizational citizenship behavior in the developing and under developed countries. This study encompasses the connection between organizational justice and organizational citizenship behavior in public hospitals among young doctors. Causal relationship between the two is analyzed. It also investigated the effect of organizational justice upon organizational citizenship behavior. Data was collected from two hundred doctors of different public sector hospitals. Cross sectional analysis was performed. It was observed that there is a significant relationship between the two factors. It also showed that organizational citizenship behavior is affected directly and indirectly by the organizational justice factors’ like procedural justice, distributive justice and interactional justice.
工作相关行为和态度受组织公民行为和组织公正的影响。这两者对于一个组织的有效运作起着至关重要的作用。在发展中国家和欠发达国家,对组织公正与组织公民行为的关系尚未进行有效的研究。本研究探讨公立医院青年医生组织公平与组织公民行为的关系。分析了两者之间的因果关系。研究了组织公平感对组织公民行为的影响。数据收集自不同公立医院的200名医生。进行横断面分析。我们观察到这两个因素之间有显著的关系。研究还表明,组织公民行为受到程序公正、分配公正和互动公正等组织公正因素的直接和间接影响。
