TL;DR: The first three Sections of this paper are about how work is structured in relation to poverty and hierarchy: the differentials in quantity and quality of work participation; inequalities in work options, in remuneration, in access to the means and opportunities for better work; and in the organised bargaining capacity to change the terms of existing employment as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Forces of Tradition and Change in India Kalpana Bardhan The first three Sections of this paper are about how work is structured in relation to poverty and hierarchy: the differentials in quantity and quality of work participation; the inequalities in work options, in remuneration, in access to the means and opportunities for better work; and in the organised bargaining capacity to change the terms of existing employment. The central question is how patriarchy combines with the caste-and-class hierarchy to sustain the segmentation of the labour market and the inequities in access to the means and resources for work.

TL;DR: In a series of experiments, college students, line managers, and compensation managers allocated salary increases to hypothetical job holders who varied in the criticality of their positions for accomplishment of organizational goals, occupational marketability, job performance, personal need for money, and increase in capability as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: In a series of experiments, college students, line managers, and compensation managers allocated salary increases to hypothetical job holders who varied in the criticality of their positions for accomplishment of organizational goals, occupational marketability, job performance, personal need for money, and increase in capability since the last performance review. Results indicated that though performance had the largest impact, a number of nonperformance factors also influenced the recommendations. Salary recommendations were lower when constrained by a budget, and performance, growth in capabilities, marketability, and criticality were all significantly related to the magnitudes of suggested increases.

TL;DR: Improvements suggested in this report will substantially enhance the participation of committed professionals in the organ donation process by clarifying procedures; providing educational opportunities; providing emotional support for professional staff; maintaining and improving communications and advice strategies.
Abstract: Like the public, the majority of hospital staff support the concept of organ donation. Some practical problems inhibit their full participation. We believe that the improvements suggested in this report will substantially enhance the participation of committed professionals in the organ donation process. Professional and system barriers to organ donation can be alleviated by clarifying procedures; providing educational opportunities; providing emotional support for professional staff; maintaining and improving communications and advice strategies; lobbying for the legal recognition of brain death; and improving remuneration systems for the physicians and hospitals.

TL;DR: Health can be seen as a capital asset, subject to depreciation due both to the passage of time (ageing) and to 'wear and tear', and its use in paid work is relatively easily valued but unpaid work continues to be a source of difficulty in the search for appropriate money values.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present new survey findings on remuneration and industrial action in the sector which has good and bad news for supporters and opponents alike, but the debate centres more around emotion than factually based reason.
Abstract: Local government is at present the subject of much criticism and legislative attention. Unfortunately the debate centres more around emotion than factually based reason. This article presents new survey findings on remuneration and industrial action in the sector which has good and bad news for supporters and opponents alike.

TL;DR: The results presented in this article seem to indicate that neither the present fee-for-service mode of payment nor a change to time-based remuneration can reconcile both professional and broader health care objectives.
Abstract: This article reports on a survey conducted on a sample of Quebec physicians at the end of 1981. The objective of the study was to assess the acceptance by physicians of a possible change in their current mode of remuneration and to identify the consequences of such a change on the physicians' practice and on the attainment of broader health care objectives. The results presented in this article seem to indicate that neither the present fee-for-service mode of payment nor a change to time-based remuneration can reconcile both professional and broader health care objectives. Implications of these findings for health policies are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors formally incorporate security and other costs related to the acceptance of cash, check, or credit card purchases in the computation of the optimal discount for any payment method.
Abstract: PROFESSOR Grant (1985) correctly points out that retailers incur security and other costs related to the acceptance of cash, check, or credit card. Therefore, the financial difference to the retailer of the various payment methods is not simply the factoring fees and delayed remuneration associated with credit card purchases. In the Appendix we formally incorporate these complications in our computation of the optimal discount.

01 Jan 1985TL;DR: The concept of human capital has become an increasingly familiar idea for modern economists as mentioned in this paper and has had significant applications with respect to issues concerning the supply of labour and its remuneration.
Abstract: Since the 1960s, the concept of “human capital” has become an increasingly familiar idea for modern economists. Analysis related to this concept has had significant applications with respect to issues concerning the supply of labour and its remuneration. The applications have also gone further afield within contemporary thought[l].

TL;DR: The findings of a study of the costs of replacing the present sessional arrangements for treatment of non-changeable orthopaedic patients with a system of fee-for-service payments are presented.
Abstract: The remuneration of medical practitioners working in public hospitals has emerged as a critical issue during the doctors dispute associated with the Medicare programme in New South Wales. In this paper the authors present the findings of a study, conducted at the Prince Henry/Prince of Wales Hospitals Group, of the costs of replacing the present sessional arrangements for treatment of non-changeable orthopaedic patients with a system of fee-for-service payments. Under certain assumptions, public hospitals could find that fee-for-service becomes a cheaper method of payment for certain surgical procedures.
TL;DR: The American Medical Association should recognize this and take appropriate action to try to establish some guidelines for the financial remuneration for the forwarding of medical records, since in many offices the amount of time and effort involved, photocopying and so on, runs into a substantial amount.
Abstract: To the Editor.— In the Sept 21 issue ofThe Journal, there was a letter regarding the prompt forwarding of medical records. 1 This is a rather disturbing problem because with the increasing number of facilities, prepaid plans, and relocation of people, the demand for the forwarding of records is beginning to become an intolerable burden. I feel that the American Medical Association should recognize this and take appropriate action to try to establish some guidelines for the financial remuneration for this type of thing, since in many offices the amount of time and effort involved, photocopying and so on, runs into a substantial amount.
