As an individual task, you are expected to draw on your industry-related experience and knowledge to write an analytical essay that addresses one of the two challenges faced by the public sector.
For Industry Challenge 1, the focus is on addressing the challenge of enforcing timely fine payments.
For Industry Challenge 2, the focus is on addressing the problem of recruiting and retaining nurses due to a global shortage.
Your essay should demonstrate your understanding of the chosen behavioural concept(s), their application to the chosen challenge, and the effectiveness of the proposed intervention.
CHOSEN CHALLENGE: INDUSTRY CHALLENGE 2
Industry Challenge 2:
Healthcare facilities, particularly hospitals, face challenges in recruiting and retaining enough nurses due to a global shortage of nursing staff. High turnover rates among nurses result in increased recruitment and training costs for healthcare institutions. Additionally, nurse burnout exacerbates retention challenges. The combination of staffing shortages, burnout, and high turnover creates a cycle of recruitment and retention challenges that strain healthcare institutions. Addressing these challenges is vital for ensuring the effective operation of healthcare systems.
Which behavioural concepts can help improve frontline nursing staff recruitment? Choose one or two relevant concepts to develop a targeted intervention. These concepts can include: Poverty trap and development, nudges and public policy, prospect theory, etc. ALso, please note that everything referred in this assignment is strictly revolved around Australia. The intervention should aim for more effective recruitment and/or better retention.
Furthermore, provide a well-defined laboratory or field experimental design aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of your proposed behavioural intervention. The experiment should be outlined in a clear and concise manner, including the following key elements:
Treatment group and control group
Steps of the experiment
Key variables
Expected outcomes or hypotheses
