“…The Wilcoxon and Proportion test statistics (3.01 and 3.96) are significant at the 10 per cent level. This result supports the findings of Megginson et al (1994), Macquieira and Zurita (1996), Cosset (1998) and, Sentürk et al (2011) and Estrin and Pelletier (2018). Table 5 presents the analysis by size of company revealing that although the CESA measure showed an increase immediately following privatisation in large, medium and small companies, the Kruskal Wallis test indicated that large companies experienced greater capital investment compared with the medium or small companies and that this result was significant at the 1 per cent level (P-value = .000).…”

This study aims to empirically examine the financial and operating performance of Egyptian privatised companies. The study compares the pre-and post-privatisation financial and operating performance of 60 companies from Egypt that have experienced privatisation through different methods during the period from 1991 and 1997. There were significant increases in the mean and median levels of profitability, operating efficiency, capital investment, output and dividends for the whole sample of companies after privatisation. There were significant decreases in the mean and median of both leverage ratios and employment levels. Further analysis was also undertaken using the three different background characteristics (i.e. size of company, type of industry and privatisation methods). No significant differences were detected in the Kruskal Wallis test analysis of privatisation methods. The Wilcoxon test, the Proportion test and the Kruskal Wallis test analyses for the company size and industry type revealed some significant results. Overall, the findings do seem to support the broad benefits of the Egyptian privatisation programme and the improvements in the financial and operating performance of the privatised companies. Contribution/ Originality: This study is the first logical analysis of the Egyptian privatization programme and its financial and operating performance since 1991. It is one of the very few studies to have investigated the privatization phenomenon in the Middle East.

“…The system provides free health care services at the point of access while it is mainly funded through general taxation, national insurance and some public fees (Al‐Hanawi, 2017). Similar to the UK, the governments of China and Turkey also own health care facilities in their country, although the privatization process was initiated in 1990 (Huang et al., 2013; Şentürk et al., 2011). In the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, most health care services are financed by the government, which is mainly dependent on oil revenues produced (Alkhamis et al., 2014).…”

Background Reforming health care systems can influence the workers. Among the aspects that could be influenced are the perception of job security, job satisfaction and turnover intention. However, nurses’ perception on job security, job satisfaction and turnover intention during health care reform and privatization is a topic yet to be explored. Objectives To examine the link between job security, job satisfaction and turnover intention during the reform and privatization of a health care system. Design A cross‐sectional survey design was utilized in this study. Methods The survey was composed of sociodemographic items, global job satisfaction item, global turnover items and job security scale. Data were analysed using SPSS, and univariate, bivariate and multivariate analyses tests were used. Results Although job satisfaction partially mediated the association between job security and organisational turnover during health care reform, it completely mediated the association between job security and professional turnover intention. Conclusions Further research is needed to examine this finding. Implication for nursing management The findings of this study benefit nurse managers and leaders for their evidence‐based management. Moreover, this study will help them focus on practices that satisfy the staff and improve the job security by improving the communication and work on changing the policy.
