Human Capital Production Function
In many organizations the labor workforce is thesingle most important factor for business performance, but alsothe most difficult to analyze. Traditional analyzing andforecasting methods do not explain the phenomenon how humancapital affects business economics, and therefore they are not toowidely used in strategic management. This article introducesHuman Capital Production Function (HCPF) as an analyzingmethod that combines the tangible and intangible assets ofhuman capital with financial scorecards in a way that explainsthe meaning of human resources for business performance.Intangible assets can be measured using tacit signal methodwhich can be connected to organization system intelligence. Thearticle studies HCPF validity in longitudinal business case dataand tests the use of HCPF in scenario-analyzing in a statisticalaverage business services company in the Singapore region
The tacit signal method in human competence based organization performance development
The dissertation deals with organization performance improvement using tacit signal development process. Tacit signals are human-based guiding opinions that rise from situation based tacit knowledge related to organization human competencies. Tacit signals are utilized as organization development inquiries in connection to the development process for implementing optimal improvement actions in the workplace level. Optimal workplace innovations are collectively agreed to be the development actions with the best value for improving the working society competencies and performance.
The aim of the dissertation is to study eff ective organization development process based on tacit signal method that utilizes the employee tacit knowledge. In this study the human resource based organization performance development phenomenon is studied within the work society and the organizational level. The dissertation has two main targets: fi rstly, to study the eff ectiveness of the tacit signal development process in organization performance improvement and secondly, to increase management and scientifi c knowledge of the way in which human resource development aff ects organization performance scorecards. The research tries to fi nd out causal-explanation why eff ective organization development can enhance better business performance.
Even though management and organization development have been studied in vast amounts, there are only a few studies in which the results can be generalized to benefi t the organizations generally. Awareness of both teamwork and employee well-being meaning for organizationâs performance has increased. Many studies indicate that certain human resource practices have improved the organization performance, but are lacking the explanatory power and generalizability. In this research the human tacit signal development process is evaluated using practical case studies and scientifi c methodology. Also the human factors are considered in the research in the competence based organization system intelligence model, describing the organization complexity and dynamic nature. This system intelligence model is built from human competencies that are interacting with each other causing tendencies to support or prevent the organization development. Because organization is dynamic, a need for dynamic heuristic development process that adapts to the situational human development needs is required
Management should understand the phenomenon of how eff ective organizational development of human resources simultaneously improves the well-being and business performance. According to the research results of this study, the tacit signal development process seems to be eff ective method in the improvement of organization performance at certain circumstances. The practical fi ndings from human based organization performance development can be explained with theoretically consistent calculations, that increase the reliability of evidence based management.TÀmÀ vÀitöstutkimus koskee organisaation suorituskyvyn kehittÀmistÀ hiljaiset signaalit -menetelmÀÀn pohjautuvaa kehittÀmisprosessia kÀyttÀen. Hiljaiset signaalit ovat organisaation inhimillisiin kompetensseihin kohdistuvia toimintaa ohjaavia mielipiteitÀ ja tuntemuksia, jotka kumpuavat henkilöstön hiljaisesta tiedosta.Hiljaiset signaalit menetelmÀÀn perustuva kehittÀmiskysely antaa toimintaa ohjaavaa tietoa kehittÀmisprosessiin, jonka tuotoksena toteutetaan optimaalisia työelÀmÀinnovaatioita työyhteisötasolla. Optimaaliset työelÀmÀinnovaatiot ovat
kollektiivisesti sovittuja toimenpiteitÀ, joilla parhaiten parannetaan työyhteisön kyvykkyyksiÀ ja suorituskykyÀ.
Tutkimuksessa selvitetÀÀn organisaation inhimillisten kompetenssien kehittÀmistÀ ja sen liittymistÀ suorituskyvyn (performance) parantamiseen työyhteisöja organisaatiotasolla. NiinpÀ tutkimuksessa voidaan nÀhdÀ kaksi tÀrkeintÀ
tavoitetta: selvittÀÀ hiljaiset signaalit kehittÀmisprosessin vaikutus organisaation kehittÀmiseen ja suorituskyvyn parantamiseen sekÀ lisÀtÀ tutkimustietÀmystÀ henkilöstölÀhtöisen kehittÀmisen vaikutuksista liiketoiminnan tuloskortteihin. Hiljaiset signaalit kehittÀmisprosessin tapaustutkimusten avulla haetaan vastausta siihen miten vaikuttavuudeltaan tehokas kehittÀminen tulisi toteuttaa ja mikÀ ilmiö selittÀÀ henkilöstökehittÀmisen ja organisaation suorituskyvyn vÀlisen yhteyden. Johtamista ja organisaation kehittÀmistÀ on tutkittu paljon, mutta tutkimustuloksia on jokseenkin vaikea hyödyntÀÀ organisaatioiden kehittÀmiseen kÀytÀnnössÀ. Tutkimusten myötÀ on lisÀÀntynyt tietoisuus siitÀ, ettÀ henkilöstövoimavaroilla on suuri merkitys organisaatioiden suorituskykyyn. Useat tutkimukset viittaavat siihen, ettÀ henkilöstölÀhtöinen organisaation kehittÀminen on parantanut organisaation suorituskykyÀ, mutta eivÀt kerro miksi nÀin tapahtuu.Yksi tutkimuksen tavoitteista on selittÀÀ miten henkilöstön kehittÀminen vaikuttaa organisaation taloudelliseen menestykseen. Jotta henkilöstölÀhtöistÀ kehittÀmistÀ voidaan tehdÀ tehokkaasti, on ymmÀrrettÀvÀ mistÀ suorituskyvyn nousu syntyy.TÀssÀ tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan yhtÀ henkilöstökehittÀmisen ratkaisua kriittisesti, tieteen tutkimusperiaatteita noudattaen. Tutkimuksessa otetaan lisÀksi huomioon se, ettÀ organisaatio on inhimillisistÀ tekijöistÀ johtuen kompleksinen ja dynaaminen systeemi, jonka mekanismien havainnollistaminen vaatii poikkitieteellistÀ ajattelua. Tutkimuksessa esitellÀÀn inhimillisistÀ kompetensseista rakentuva organisaatiosysteemi, jossa kompetenssien muodostamat inhimilliset voimatekijÀt vaikuttavat vuorovaikutuksellisesti toisiinsa. NÀin voidaan havainnollistaa inhimillisiÀ kompetenssitekijöitÀ, jotka voivat sekÀ edistÀÀ ettÀ vaikeuttaa organisaation kehittÀmistÀ. Dynaamisen luonteen omaava organisaatiosysteemi vaatii dynaamisen kehittÀmisprosessin, joka mukautuu organisaation tilanteeseen ja huomioi henkilöstön hiljaisen tiedon tÀrkeyden.
Johdon tulee ymmÀrtÀÀ ilmiö, jossa henkilöstöresurssien tehokas kehit tÀ minen parantaa sekÀ henkilöstön hyvinvointia ettÀ tuottavuutta (suorituskykyÀ) samanaikaisesti. Tutkimuksen tulosten perusteella hiljaiset
signaalit -kehittÀmisprosessi vaikuttaa dynaamiselta ja tehokkaalta ratkaisulta organisaatioiden suorituskyvyn parantamiseen tietyissÀ olosuhteissa. KÀytÀnnön toimintatutkimusten havainnot henkilöstölÀhtöisestÀ tuottavuuden noususta ovat selitettÀvissÀ tutkimuksessa esitettÀvÀllÀ teoreettisesti johdonmukaisella laskentamallilla, mikÀ lisÀÀ tieteelliseen nÀyttöön perustuvan tutkimuksen luotettavuutta ja arvoa

Prevalence, associated factors and outcomes of pressure injuries in adult intensive care unit patients: the DecubICUs study
Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9â27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6â16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2â1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4â1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3â3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat
