| Summary: | The researcher is propelled and motivated by the Minister of Public Service
Association, Geraldine Frasser-Moleketi, recognising the serious nature of
HIV and AIDS and its impact on South Africa when she initiated the Impact
and Action Project in January 2000, which was aimed at ensuring that Public
Service is able to sustain a quality service in spite of pandemic: AIDS.
The apprehension of writing on the theme is to enlighten both the employer
and employees with their obligations, rights and legal framework in the
management of the pandemic: AIDS within the employment perspective. The
eminence of the study is based on the participation of management and their
intervention, because without their involvement, AIDS deaths translate into
lost productivity, increased high rate of absenteeism, short or long illnesses,
and lower morale of employees and hampering of rendering of services.
The study comprises of five chapters, containing the orientation of the study;
literature review; research design and methodology; data analysis and results
and summary, findings and recommendation, respectively. The instrument
employed to gather data was applied in five regions, and data is gathered from
a target sample of 96 out of 2084 employees. Please note in order to avoid the
continuous use of "HN and AIDS", virus, epidemic, disease or cumbersome
descriptions, the noun pandemic: AIDS, will be used and will denote "HIV
and AIDS". === MBA (HRM) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2005
