In addition to analyze the data SPSS version 26 were used, reliability of questionnaire items had been tested using Cronbach's alpha, the study applied frequency and percentages, descriptive statistics and regression analysis. According to the descriptive statistics analysis all the three leadership styles are practical in Panafric Global PLC. The end result in the regression analysis bared that transformational leadership style has a positive significant effect on the dependent variable (Job Satisfaction). Transactional and Laissez faire leadership styles were found to have insignificant effect on job satisfaction. As a result the researcher recommends PAG to put an effort in employing transformative leaders because their characters increase employee job satisfaction, PAG should also work on improving job satisfaction factors in which the employees are less satisfied with, and conduct job satisfaction surveys regularly and take counteractive actions on areas that need improvement. Extensive training in leadership-related programs that will be conducted regularly is also recommended by the study

    (Addis Ababa University, 2021-06) Mesfin Helina; Teshome Roza; Adugna Haweni
    Background: A cesarean section is the most common obstetric surgery performed today. Even though cesarean delivery is the safest mode of delivery for high risk situation, it also appears to have higher risk of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality than vaginal delivery in lowrisk cases. Objectives: To determine the maternal and fetal health outcome after cesarean section and its associated factors in Gurage Zone governmental hospitals, SNNPR, Ethiopia 2021 G.C. Methods: Institutional based retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in Gurage Zone governmental hospitals from February 21/2021- March 13/2021on cards of mother who delivered by cesarean section from February 2019 to January 2021. The total sample size was 398 and collected from five governmental hospitals. The collected data was entered and analyzed using STATA version 15. Binary and Multiple Logistic regressions were used to identify associated factors for maternal outcome and fetal outcome. Result: Out of mothers included in the study 23.4% of them had poor maternal outcome. The prevalence of poor fetal outcome was 19.74%. Obstetric complication [AOR of 2.65, 95% CI,(1.17, 6.01)], Medical disease [AOR of 3.39, 95% CI (1.13, 10.16)], General Anesthesia [AORof 16.8, 95% CI (1.32, 212.54)] and Ante Partum Hemorrhage as indication for Cesarean Section [AOR of 3.73, 95% CI, (1.08, 12.83)] are found to be statistically significant factors for poor maternal outcome. Also Medical disease [AOR of 5.78, 95% CI (1.17, 28.54)] and Cephalic Pelvic Disproportion as an indication for Cesarean Section [AOR of 5.57, 95% CI (1.74, 17.78)] are statistically significant factors for poor fetal outcome. Conclusion & Recommendation: The prevalence of poor maternal and fetal outcome is 23.37% and 19.74% respectively. The most common maternal complications post CS were infection(5.98%), Blood transfusion (5.71%), Hemorrhage (5.43%). Although much emphasis has been placed on reducing maternal mortality associated with pregnancy, mothers who escape pregnancy-related mortality but suffer health consequences should also be given special attention.
