Volunteering is an exclusive phenomenon that involves certain obligations in activities, which individuals choose completely on free will. One of the main components in volunteering is that people engage in community work, without receiving any compensation. Volunteering as a form of leisure relies on the fact that during activities individuals acquire certain experience. Research presented here shows the barriers which prevent the spread of volunteering as a form of leisure in sports sector. Barriers can be related to the nature of sports events and inappropriate volunteers appreciation. The barriers also relate to the lack of information, skills, or lack of financial costs, which are mostly related to travel and food. The identified barriers were evaluated in order to reveal which of them mainly prevent the spread of voluntary activities in the sports sector. The main barriers preventing spread of volunteering are inappropriate preparation of voluntary activities in sport organizations and volunteers' age. Also important barriers are inappropriate volunteers' appreciation and lack of information.

This paper considers human resources to be important for the effective functioning and development of the organization in current socio-economic conditions. Corporate management involves the impact on people (corporate staff) primarily. The authors noted that the staff management assessment is a powerful instrument to increase the management process’s effectiveness. The normative documents of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine define the following methods of quality control of medical services: clinical audit and monitoring. The purpose of a clinical audit is to find opportunities to achieve high-quality health care. Continuous tracking of staff provides an opportunity to make effective management decisions and increase productivity. An adequate system for assessing the quality of medical staff should respond not only to the result of medical care but also to prevent defects. Personnel management in health care quality should be carried out to avoid mistakes in the provision of medical care. This concept is designed to create an internal structural quality management system. Therefore, it is essential to understand the assessment process and its interactions at different stages of the management process within the organization. In the paper, the authors determined ways to enhance the medical staff management assessment. The study presents the essence and features of medical staff assessment based on the general principles and methods for assessing the effectiveness of public and private medical institutions. The authors analyzed the medical staff assessment system in medical institutions and identified its features under medical reform. Besides, the study provided the investigation of the current state of the staff assessment of medical institutions. It analyzed the areas of concern in the methods and mechanisms of staff assessment. To investigate the current situation in the medical institution, the structure and movement of medical staff were analyzed. The findings identified the gaps in the current staff assessment system and the reasons for the low rates of nursing staff. The authors highlighted ways to improve the current staff assessment system in the institution through the social satisfaction criterion, interviewing the parturient women and configuration management of quality based on the PDCA cycle. The obtained results showed that the medical institution had different reserves available to increase the parturient women satisfaction with the level of medical services received.

This article states that the private sector and the government can resolve contradictions and bridge interaction gaps through a public-private partnership due to complementing each other functionally. The study aims to determine the elements of public-private partnership development in healthcare and primary conditions for further forming an effective environment for implementing the principles of public-private partnership in healthcare management. This investigation examined the public-private partnership state worldwide and in Ukraine and the prospects for its development in the context of healthcare reform. It was noted that cooperation between the public and private sectors is becoming increasingly social. However, the current practice does not show effectiveness in achieving certain goals. The properties and differences in realizing social public-private partnership projects were investigated. The risks and problems in the implementation of public-private partnerships in healthcare were identified. The authors developed the structural and target model for ensuring the development of public-private partnerships in healthcare. It was determined that the basic conditions contributing to the successful implementation of public-private partnership projects in healthcare should include the factors as follows: political willpower to promote the development and support of public-private partnership; legislative and regulatory system to attract private sector funding; availability of feasible and effective projects and mechanisms for their selection; availability of information and staff needed for project implementation. The findings substantiated that state budget support is essential in reducing the risks of a private partner at the initial stage of public-private partnership development. The world experience showed that state funding of public-private partnership projects in healthcare might vary depending on the project life cycle stage. Given the importance of improving the funding of public-private partnerships, especially in terms of state budget funding for health projects, key elements and possible areas for improvement were identified.
