Systematic review of work motivation: Health sector employees in Panama City

2026-01-29T12:12:39-08:00

This topic constitutes a critical axis for ensuring the quality of healthcare services, particularly in urban contexts such as Panama City, where demand is continuously increasing. However, working conditions, institutional pressures, and the demands arising from patient care create tensions that can affect the commitment and satisfaction of healthcare personnel. This scenario underscores the need to thoroughly analyze the motivational factors that influence the retention, performance, and well-being of health professionals, as well as the institutional strategies required to strengthen them. The general objective was to analyze the motivation of health sector employees from a multidimensional perspective. Framed within a post-positivist paradigm, the study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining standardized surveys based on both classical and recent theories—such as classical motivational theories, Self-Determination Theory, and the Job Demands–Resources Model—with semi-structured interviews of professionals from various medical and administrative disciplines. A systematic review of chronological documents revealed that the most influential factors in motivation are institutional recognition, professional development opportunities, effective communication with leaders, and a favorable organizational climate. Furthermore, the post-pandemic context continues to act as a catalyst for this labor reflection. It is concluded that motivation does not depend solely on economic incentives but also on psychosocial and cultural variables, which must be addressed through comprehensive public human resource policies. Strengthening a sense of purpose, organizational and emotional equity emerges as a key strategy to foster resilience and commitment among healthcare personnel in the urban context of Panama City.

Stress vs. job burnout: Implications for human talent productivity in contemporary organizational environments

2026-01-29T12:17:42-08:00

Stress and job burnout are increasingly frequent phenomena in contemporary organizations, with significant effects on employees’ individual well-being, productivity, and job satisfaction. Several factors—excessive workload, constant pressure to meet objectives, lack of recognition, ineffective leadership, imbalance between personal and professional life—generate unhealthy work environments. Considering this reality, it becomes essential to analyze stress and job burnout: implications for human talent productivity in contemporary organizational environments. This research, conducted under a qualitative paradigm, with a descriptive-documentary design, and based on an exhaustive review of scientific literature and case studies, enabled a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms through which stress and burnout affect both employees and business productivity. Among the most relevant preventive or corrective measures are the implementation of organizational well-being programs, the creation of healthy work environments, the promotion of open and transparent communication, the development of leadership focused on supporting and fostering human talent, the encouragement of work flexibility, and the availability of psychological assistance resources. The findings suggest that effective management of stress and burnout not only protects employees’ physical and emotional health; it also constitutes an organizational strategy that strengthens commitment, loyalty, and performance, thereby fostering a positive work culture. Consequently, comprehensive attention to these phenomena emerges as a strategic priority for modern organizations, ensuring sustainable benefits both for employees and for institutional efficiency.

Ethical orthodoxy: a conscious consideration from the perspective of University Management

2026-01-29T12:39:29-08:00

This article is the result of research aimed at presenting a theoretical contrast that encourages reflection on ethical orthodoxy from the perspective of university administration. Ethical orthodoxy implies the normativity of human actions, which requires conscious deliberation on social, managerial, and organizational problems. It refers to the strict application of norms and control processes based on discipline and method. In this sense, the article urges university administration to focus its efforts on fully fulfilling its ethical responsibility to design and implement training programs that are aligned with new managerial and business realities and demands. These programs should have as their fundamental objective the development of the necessary competencies so that those who receive this training can efficiently, effectively, and above all, successfully fulfill their roles within the organization. The theoretical postulates are based on the foundations developed by Seijo, Ochoa, and Ochoa (2024), Castro (2018), Duque (2019), Etkin (2015), Sanabria (2016), among others. The methodology was based on a documentary and bibliographic review, complemented by a hermeneutic analysis of hypothetical cases to contextualize the findings. The results reveal that a systemic approach can improve educational quality and equity by developing essential 21st-century skills. The study concludes that hybrid learning, with a long-term vision and the collaboration of all stakeholders, can transform education globally.

Bibliographic Review

En un panorama empresarial sacudido por escándalos de corrupción, crisis de reputación y una demanda social creciente de transparencia y propósito, la obra de la Dr. Chesterton, Ortodoxia, llega como un tratado necesario y riguroso. Lejos de ofrecer un simple recetario de buenas intenciones, el autor construye un sólido marco conceptual en el que la ética deja de ser un departamento o un código decorativo para erigirse como la ortodoxia central, dogma operativo incuestionable de toda organización que aspire a ser legítima y perdurable.

PREFACE

2026-01-29T12:54:05-08:00

Writing about business ethics in the third decade of the 21st century may seem, at first glance, an exercise in optimism or even naivety. It takes place in a global landscape marked by rampant inequality, the climate crisis, public mistrust of institutions, and corporate scandals that occur with disturbing regularity.
In this context, ethics runs the risk of being perceived as a luxury, just another department, often relegated to the sidelines, or a simple manual of good intentions that is celebrated in annual reports while being ignored in the boardrooms where strategic decisions are made.
