Abstract: The paper explores the correlation effects of recruitment, selection, training and development in public and private hospitals of India. The data was collected using a questionnaire survey method from the medical staff including doctors, nurses and administrators of 30 (15 private and 15 government) hospitals in India. The data was analysed using statistical measures like descriptive statistics, correlation and regression. The results revealed that the public hospital employees were more satisfied with their recruitment and selection process, less committed to their organisation and experienced lower levels of occupational stress than the employees of private hospitals. Furthermore, the healthcare personnel who were satisfied with the recruitment, selection, training and development process were also found to be satisfied with their job and career. These persons are more committed to their organisation and experienced lower levels of occupational stress.

Keywords: hospital recruitment; employee selection; training and development; public healthcare; private healthcare; questionnaire survey; India; employee stress; employee satisfaction; employee commitment; hospitals; hospital employees.
