Pacific Management Study

There is a general lack of research and knowledge in the Pacific mental health and addiction sector.  Le Va is committed to increasing research and knowledge into Pacific health leadership and management. 

As a contribution to the sector, Le Va has published Kirk Mariner's Master's dissertation entitled Attributes for Effective Management of Pacific Health Services in New Zealand.  This was launched at the Drua fono in Christchurch on Friday, 16 May 2008. 

Kirk's study identifies and explores key attributes that are considered desirable by Pacific health managers for the effective management of Pacific health services in New Zealand. It replicates Phase I of the study undertaken by Boldy, Chen and Jain, Attributes of Effective Managers and Implications for Health Care Management Education in the Asia-Pacific Region (1994) (the Boldy study).
