The paper gives a background introduction of the health sector of Kenya as defined and established by the constitution of Kenya, explains the sharing of functions devolved in the health sector, and explains the history of devolution of the health sector. Under the identification and justification of the study, the paper highlights how specialized skills in health service provision are concentrated in urban centers and emphasizes a lack of inter-county transfer of services. The paper further explains the distribution of healthcare service provision, the current management of HR, and the statement of specific problems in Kenya; such problems include outcry from healthcare providers, which is manifested by frequent strikes across the country over issues to do with salaries, promotions, and career development. The viewpoint of the authors is that the seven building blocks of the health sector in Kenya are vital. The six building blocks can be handled by county governments while one block that deals with the management of HR of the health sector should be reformed, strengthened, and handled by the national government, hence the paper proposes the introduction of a health service commission to manage human resource components of the health sector. Finally, boost the Ministry of Health’s effective control of the healthcare workforce by advancing and integrating policies relating to health systems, services, and cross-sectorial collaboration to revive primary healthcare services and attain universal health coverage.","PeriodicalId":360745,"journal":{"name":"BOHR International Journal of Advances in Management Research","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114618506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Are there specific reasons for these wide differences between the two states?

Challenges of ineffectiveplanning, management, and application of HR functions have been the major issues affecting the rate of employeeturnover in organizations. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of HR management practices ontertiary institution performance in Ondo State, Nigeria. A sample size of 327 was taken from a population of 1776using Taro Yamane’s (1964) formula, and a stratified sampling technique was adopted. The questionnaire wasrecovered in 324 copies, accounting for 99.08% of the total for analysis. The data were analyzed through ordinaryleast square (OLS) regression, and it was found that the calculatedt-statistics score of 1.645 is less than thet-statistics score of the four hypotheses. The null hypotheses were rejected, while alternative hypotheses of 2.127and 2.483 were accepted. According to the findings of the study, HR management practices have a significantimpact on the performance of higher education institutions in Ondo State, Nigeria. It is suggested that effectiveplanning, well-managed implementation, and a policy free of tribalism and nepotism—a policy free of bias—willcreate a competitive advantage and positively impact the performance of tertiary institutions, particularly RufusGiwa Polytechnic, Owo.","PeriodicalId":360745,"journal":{"name":"BOHR International Journal of Advances in Management Research","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114155684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the anime culture that can attract the younger generation, Bilibili has built a large-scale user creation platform. To stimulate users’ creative inspiration, Bilibili issued several plans to provide corresponding rewards for the content produced by video creators, attracting more and more people to participate in the creative party. In this context, many excellent works were born, but at the same time, there are also works with mixed qualities in the video, i.e., “low-innovation” works. \"Low-innovation\" works hinder personal development and have a bad impact on the production climate of the platform. First, this paper uses the principal component analysis algorithm to pre-process the user data of Bilibili to improve the efficiency of the algorithm. Based on the K-means clustering algorithm, it analyzes and identifies \"low-innovation\" users. According to the analysis results, it sets different incentive plans for different types of user groups and plays a positive role in the video quality of Bilibili.","PeriodicalId":360745,"journal":{"name":"BOHR International Journal of Advances in Management Research","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126511622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
