The Role of Faith-inspired Health Care Providers in Sub-Saharan Africa and Public-Private Partnerships : Strengthening the Evidence for Faith-inspired Health Engagement in Africa, Volume 1This role of faith-inspired health care
 providers in sub-saharan Africa and public-private
 partnerships is comprised of a three volume series on
 strengthening the evidence for faith inspired engagement in
 health in sub-Saharan Africa. An increasing level of
 interest in the role of faith in development has generated
 much debate and dialogue at the international and national
 levels over the last decade. Despite difficulties in
 communication and differences in cultures within such
 debates, there has been a continued reaffirmation of the
 potential benefits that faith-inspired communities can bring
 towards efforts to achieve the millennium development goals
 (MDGs), especially in the areas of health. This series
 focuses on assessing the role and market share of
 faith-inspired providers and on assessing the extent to
 which they are involved in and benefit from public-private
 partnerships. The purpose of this series of three HNP
 discussion papers is to round up various analytical
 perspectives and emerging research on faith engagement in
 health in Africa from a range of researchers and
 practitioners from the north as well as the south. The
 series is structured into three volumes: a first volume on
 the role and market share of faith-inspired providers and
 public-private partnerships, a second on satisfaction and
 the comparative nature of faith-inspired health provision,
 and the third on mapping of faith inspired provision and the
 extent to which faith-inspired providers reach to the poor.

Building Organisational Sustainability during the COVID-19 Pandemic with an Inspiring Work EnvironmentThis article aims to analyse significant differences in four constructs: occupational stress, job satisfaction, work engagement, and work productivity among employees before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of the paper is to develop a multidimensional model with these four constructs and analyse the differences in the strength of their effects on the model across two intersectional times: before the COVID-19 pandemic and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research was implemented on a sample of 885 employees in Slovenian organisations. During COVID-19, Slovenia had one of the strictest lockdowns. Based on the research, we can confirm significant differences in the four analysed constructs among employees before COVID-19 and during COVID-19. Based on the results, we can confirm that occupational stress had a more negative effect on job satisfaction and work engagement during COVID-19 than before prior to it. Our research and conclusions highlight the measures with which organisations can reduce the problem of occupational stress and with which organisations can increase job satisfaction, work engagement and work productivity among employees during COVID-19. Based on this, organisations may be able to build a more supportive work environment during, and after, COVID-19.
