    Area of Science:

    • Organizational behavior
    • Human resource management
    • Healthcare administration

    Background:

    • Effective strategic staffing is crucial for healthcare organizations.
    • Charles Handy's Shamrock Organizational Model offers a framework for understanding modern workforce structures.
    • This model categorizes staff into three distinct, valuable groups.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and explain the Shamrock Organizational Model for strategic staffing.
    • To highlight the composition of the three staff groups within the model.
    • To define the shared responsibility for workforce competency.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of Charles Handy's Shamrock Organizational Model.
    • Application of the model to strategic staffing in healthcare settings.
    • Identification of key stakeholder responsibilities.

    Main Results:

    • The Shamrock Organizational Model consists of a core full-time staff, a short-term contingency workforce, and a long-range supplemental workforce.
    • All three staff groups are considered equally valuable.
    • Competency assurance is a shared, non-transferable duty.

    Conclusions:

    • Hospitals and supplemental staffing companies must collaborate to ensure the competency of all workforce segments.
    • Understanding and implementing the Shamrock Organizational Model can optimize strategic staffing.
    • Shared responsibility is key to maintaining a competent and effective multi-tiered workforce.
