The two Alpha factors are intrinsically linked, making neither more Alpha than the other.
All attempts to address the shortage are futile without addressing the two alpha factors in tandem. Relief from the exertion of either alpha factor on the market in which the labour resource [nursing] occurs will inevitably affect the other alpha factor with which each alpha factor is inextricably liked.
Alpha Factor #1) Market Imperative and Earnings reflecting its Understanding: The need of the nurse to compensation that meets market requirement.Hypothesis of This Study
Market demand is addressed through provision of adequate compensation for a nurse's work within the environment in which it occurs thus meeting assurance of vital and renewable labour source. See Earnings further definedAlpha Factor #2) Environment in which Nursing Occurs: The need of the nurse to practice her profession in a reasonable environment.
The environment must be reasonable in its balance of work requirement. It must provide freedom from fear , or the perception of fear, that any nurse employer places the nurse and / or her patients at risk . The Environment in which nursing is accomplished is affected by both concrete and intangible factors. See Environment Further identified.
Alpha Factor identification, & the four alpha responses required for their appropriate alleviation are the basis for Hypothesis & Purpose of these Pages
