This article focuses on processes of granting posts and transfers to health care
workers and administrators that can be described as ‘mission inconsistent (MI)’,
meaning that they are not conducted in a way that maximizes health outcomes
or that respects the norms of health care worker professionalism. We synthesize
relevant literature from several different disciplinary perspectives to describe
what is known about the problem of MI posting and transfer in the health
sector, to critically engage and interrogate these literatures, and to briefly discuss
efforts that have been made to maximize mission consistency. The article
concludes by suggesting principles for future research that would foster a more
complete understanding of posting and transfer practices. |
