From the Paper:

"What are the different ways that hospital managers can increase employee morale after downsizing or "restructuring"? To understand how to increase employee morale, we need to first understand the reason behind hospital downsizing. In the past few years, hospitals have received less funding, due to the rest of the slowing economy. That is the bottom line. So, in order to keep operating, hospitals have had to decrease the work force and other costs. But, they didn't decrease the workloads?in fact, workloads have increased because the work force has decreased, which left more work for the surviving employees. And, when there is less staff to admit patients, patients suffer by not getting the care they need right away while waiting to be admitted."
