Public sector grievances: the case of North Dakota

Article Abstract:

An analysis of public sector employee grievances in North Dakota showed inconsistencies with the prevailing beliefs about personnel practices in the public sector. Discrimination does not appear to be a major issue, based on the number of complaints. Women, while dominating the work force, are less inclined to file grievances. Independent appeal boards tend to favor employers when deciding on complaints while performance evaluations indicate that employer-employee relationships are seldom affected even after an employee has filed grievances.

The use of hypnosis to induce creative problem solving: potential applications in public sector management training

Article Abstract:

A case study on the role of intuition in decision-making conducted in 1995 proved that hypnosis can be adapted as an alternative means of assessing and evaluating problems related to human capital. According to the study, under an altered state, the mind induces creative decision-making mechanisms which can be applied to public sector management training. However, interested practitioners must first undergo proper training on the clinical use of hypnosis before they use the skill in industrial applications.
