Retention of employees in pharmaceutical industry
Executive Summary
The pharmaceutical industry spends billions of dollars annually on gifts to
physicians often these gifts consist of items that are designed to enhance patient care (e.g.,
anatomical oodles) or learning (e.g., textbooks), but gifts may also be of a more personal
nature (e.g., vent tickets). Serious ethical concerns have been raised that gifts from the
pharmaceutical industry to individual health care professionals risk compromising health
care providers’ professional objectivity and integrity, andor undermining their
fundamental ethical commitment to putting the interests of patients first. This report
discusses the special nature of gift relationships, examines !hy gifts to health care
professionals from the pharmaceutical industry may be ethically problematic, and revie!s
professional ethical guidelines and legal standards regarding acceptance of gifts.

Cealth care professionals !ho prescribe pharmaceutical products base their
prescription decisions on many factors including effectiveness, safety, and cost. 2n an effort
to influence practitioners’ prescribing practices, the pharmaceutical industry employs diverse
marketing and promotional strategies, among them offers of free drug samples, educational
materials, meals, and other forms of gifts. These efforts are both intensive and expensive. 2n
)66& the drug industry spent more than M&G billion on visits to physicians’ offices. 2n the last
five years the number of pharmaceutical company sales representatives in the B.S. has
increased from ,),666 to NN,666.& Some N6L of physicians report having been offered cash
or gifts from pharmaceutical industry representatives.) .any physicians meet !ith

concerns have been raised about these contacts bet!een the pharmaceutical industry and

accepting gifts from pharmaceutical industry representatives risks compromising health care
providers’ professional objectivity and integrity, and undermining their fundamental ethical
commitment to putting the interests of patients first. ?ift incentives to participate in
continuing professional education programs are the !rong incentives for health care
professionals and trainees, !ho should be independently motivated to participate in lifelong

'scalating drug costs may ultimately result in limitations on access to care. 0ederal
regulations (at H =0-, "art )G*H) establish standards for conduct in relation to gifts for all
federal employees. (ut anecdotal reports from the field indicate that beyond these mandated
thresholds, local facilities’ policies about accepting gifts from the pharmaceutical industry
vary !idely !ithin @C3. To address this state of affairs, ne! national policy limits the
access representatives of the pharmaceutical industry may have to facilities and staff.O This
national guidance provides a foundation for the development of more uniform local policies
throughout the system. This report by the @C3 Eational 'thics =ommittee examines the
values at stake in relationships bet!een practitioners and the pharmaceutical industry from
the perspective of health care ethics. 2ts goal is to clarify the philosophical and professional
concerns that underlie regulations and policy in this area. The report addresses gifts provided
to individual health care professionals by representatives of the pharmaceutical industry.
$ften these gifts consist of items that are designed to enhance patient care (e.g., reflex
hammers, anatomical models) or learning (e.g., meals at educational events, textbooks), but
gifts may also be of a more personal nature (e.g., organi5ers, event tickets). The promotional
nature of gifts may be subtle or obvious, depending on, for example, !hether a sponsor or
product name is prominently displayed. 0or this report gifts are distinguished from purely
promotional items that have no intrinsic value to the recipient (e.g., product brochures) and
from compensation for professional !ork (e.g., honoraria). The report discusses the
definition of gifts, examines !hy gifts to health care professionals from the pharmaceutical
industry may be ethically problematic in the health care setting, and revie!s professional
ethical guidelines and legal standards regarding acceptance of gifts. 2t offers practical
recommendations to guide ethical policy !ithin @C3. 3lthough the analysis and
recommendations offered here !ere developed specifically in reference to gifts from

Brief history of la,e chemicals
The .ill (rook sub !atershed and the (lackstone -iver Cead!aters have been identified by
the .assachusetts 'xecutive $ffice of 'nvironmental 3ffairs as key priority areas to improve
!ater 7uality !ithin the (lackstone -iver. The (lackstone -iver has been designated as a
Eational and 3merican Ceritage -iver by the Eational "ark Service. The (lackstone -iver
@alley Eational Ceritage =orridor !as designated by an 3ct of =ongress on Eovember &6,
&>NG to preserve and interpret for present and future generations the uni7ue and significant
value of the (lackstone @alley. 2n 3ugust &>>N, "resident =linton declared the (lackstone
-iver an Q3merican Ceritage -iverQ. The Eational "ark Service, t!o state governments,
do5ens of local municipalities, businesses, nonprofit historical and environmental
organi5ations, educational institutions, many private citi5ens, and a unifying commission all
!ork together in partnerships to protect the @alleyDs special identity and prepare for its future.
2ndian <ake is the largest body of !ater located completely !ithin the =ity of 8orcester,
.assachusetts (population of &I6,666R). The &>*1acre <ake !ith a mean depth of
approximately &6 feet offers many family activities including t!o public s!imming beaches,
picnic and recreation areas, a public boat launch and a tennis court. 2ndian <ake originally
encompassed ,6 acres and !as surrounded by marshes and farmland. 2n the late &N)6Ds during
the industrial era, the (lackstone =anal !as built to create a ne! transportation link bet!een
8orcester, .assachusetts and "rovidence, -hode 2sland. The .ill (rook !as dammed at
2ndian <ake to form the head!aters of the (lackstone =anal and (lackstone -iver to control
the flo! of !ater through the canal. 2n the late &N,6Ds the <ake !as used to harvest ice for
local businesses. The Bpper .ill (rook 8atershed area is approximately &H s7uare miles and
extends northerly into Colden. The main outlet from 2ndian <ake flo!s through a gated valve
in a southerly direction into Salisbury "ond and eventually into the (lackstone -iver. The
!atershed area is heavily urbani5ed and the major tributary entering into the <ake is 3rarat
(rook entering at the north!est corner of the <ake.
$ver the past H6 years, development !ithin the !atershed has increased dramatically !hich
has caused increased !ater 7uality problems at 2ndian <ake and its tributaries and inlets. This
development has attributed to rapid sedimentation from both upstream development and
urban runoff. Cigh phosphorous loading has also led to eutrophication and has resulted in
BABASAB PATIL >

severe impairment of !ater 7uality, primarily in the form of lo! dissolved oxygen, nuisance
a7uatic plants, turbidity and organic enrichment. This has been documented in numerous
studies and routine !ater 7uality monitoring conducted by the 2ndian <ake 8atershed
3ssociation (2<83) through the (lackstone Cead!ater .onitoring Team ((C.T) "rogram
and by the =ity /epartment of "ublic Cealth (/"C).

residents !ho !anted to monitor and revive the !ater body and has gro!n to be one of the
strongest neighborhood groups in the =ity of 8orcester, !orking in cooperation !ith both
city officials and residents to combat the effects of development !ithin the !atershed. The
2<83 no! maintains a membership of *66R members.
The 2<83 has completed many major tasks to protect and restore the 7uality of the <ake in
the recent years. These tasks include% se!ered homes along 2ndian <ake, dredged a portion of
2ndian <ake9 lobbied against major land taking for construction of -te &>6, lobbied =ity to

and complicated. 0ierce competition has driven salaries higher and higher and benefits
must be constantly improved. 3lthough the "harmaceutical 2ndustry has lo!er turnover
rates compared to other industries, the cost of turnover is much greater. 8ith strict
regulations and rigid timelines, a research specialistDs resignation leaves your company
!ith a delay in product development and a loss of talent. 3dditionally, !hen a
pharmaceutical representative leaves, they take the client relationships !ith them. These
stringent regulations leave employee actions vulnerable to repercussions from their boss,

effect, in !hich case it is just a !aste of money. 2t appears that overall exposure to drug
promotion may do more good than harm. There is not enough evidence of benefit to justify
doctors investing their limited time in allo!ing themselves to be exposed to drug
promotion. There is corruption in most professions including the medical profession.

"vervie: of pharmaceutical
=linical research and development in the drug industry must be understood in the current
political and economic context of medical neoliberalism (0isher )66Ia9 forthcoming). 2n
the BS, neoliberalism is the guiding ideology behind economic policies that emphasi5e a
reduction in social services provided by the state and an increase in the role of the private
(for1profit) sector in the provision of social goods, such as health care, !elfare, and
education (.onahan )66G). .edical neoliberalism, in particular, is manifest in a consumer
model of health characteri5ed by an ine7uitable distribution of services according to !ho
can pay for different kinds of care (0rank )66)). The pharmaceutical industry benefits
from neoliberal forms of health care because un(der)insured populations in the BS can be
recruited as human subjects into clinical trials in exchange for limited, medical attention
for the duration of studies (0isher )66Ib).H 2n addition, many health care providers are
looking for ne! !ays to increase their revenue through a diversification of services (?ray
&>>*). 2n this climate, physicians become targeted as potential investigators on
pharmaceutical studies ("ham et al. )66,). The resulting organi5ation of clinical trials has
important implications for relationships of trust in drug development. "harmaceutical
clinical trials are characteri5ed as [contract research.’ Bnlike investigator1initiated research,
BABASAB PATIL )G
Retention of employees in pharmaceutical industry
those conducting pharmaceutical studies rarely have any role in defining the research
7uestions, designing the protocols, or analy5ing the results. 2nstead, scientists and
researchers at pharmaceutical companies determine these elements of clinical trials, and
clinicians are then hired to execute the protocols using their patients as subjects. 3lthough
physicians at academic medical centers and university hospitals confer legitimacy and
prestige on pharmaceutical studies, the bulk of contract research is conducted in the private
sector by physicians in private practices or for1profit, dedicated research centers.
!onceptual frame
r,
The concept of trust provides a useful lens for exploring relationships among
pharmaceutical companies, clinicians (i.e., physicians and research coordinators), and
human subjects engaged in drug development. 2n the majority of scholarship on trust in
medicine, the focus is primarily trained on patients’ trust in their personal care providers,
human subjects’ trust in the researchers or institutions conducting clinical trials, and
citi5ens’ trust in their health care delivery systems (e.g., .ill man &>II9 .echanic &>>G9
+ao et al. &>>N9 $’Eeill )66)9 3llsop )66G). Tet, for pharmaceutical clinical trials to
operate effectively, clinicians must trust the pharmaceutical companies !ith !hich they are
!orking and pharmaceutical companies must trust the clinicians and human subjects. 8ith
each of these relationships, trust is multifaceted and negotiated as individuals respond to
their o!n and others’ institutional opportunities and constraints. Several modes of trust are
critical for the success of clinical development. 2n the clinical trials industry as seen
else!here, trust is necessary to ensure effective cooperation of all relevant actors and
organi5ations (see <uhmann &>I>9 <a "orta et al. &>>I). $ne !ay of understanding this
BABASAB PATIL )I
Retention of employees in pharmaceutical industry
dynamic is to distinguish bet!een ho! trust is constituted differently in individuals and
institutions. This difference in types of trust is important because both levelsPthe
individual and institutionalPcan shape the other, but each have uni7ue implications,
particularly if trust is misplaced ($’Eeill )66)). Specifically, trust in individuals may
overemphasi5e those actors’ intentions and motives !hile obscuring the effects of ho!
institutions structure (and limit) that trust (Shapiro &>NI). 0or example, physicians
conducting drug trials may indeed have the best interest of human subjects in mind, but
nonetheless they have only limited jurisdiction over decision1making regarding subjects’
participation. Thus, subjects’ trust in those physicians may give them a false sense of
confidence that their !ellbeing is appropriately safeguarded. 'xamining trust at the level
of individuals can ignore the myriad constraints that are placed on the range of individual
actions and choices.confidence in the integrity of the federal government (H =0-
)G*H.&6&9 '$ &)GI,). 8hereas the public relies on legal enforcement mechanisms to
assure that private health care organi5ations comply !ith relevant la! and regulation, they
expect public agencies and employees to adopt policies that not merely follo! the rule of
la! but also promote its spirit by establishing goals of exemplary behavior as ethical
standards. 3cceptance of any type of gift from the pharmaceutical industry by @C3
employees risks eroding public trust in @C3, possibly to a greater degree than !ould be
the case for employees in private agencies. .ore importantly, the beneficiaries of
government programsPveterans, in the case of @C3Pare often more dependent on
government services than are those !ho rely on private programs. This greater dependence
gives rise to the government’s obligation to adhere to a stricter ethical standard. Effects on
Professional Relationships. ?iven the !ays in !hich gift giving differs from entering into
a contractual relationship, gifts from pharmaceutical representatives to health care
professionals can blur the distinction bet!een formal business exchanges and informal,
interpersonal exchanges.&* The social experience of giving and receiving gifts affects the
relationship bet!een the t!o parties in complex and subtle !ays. 3nthropological
literature&* explains that the recipient of a gift often feels three types of obligation to!ard
the giver% grateful conduct (i.e., acceptance of the gift and expression of gratitude), grateful
use (i.e., in accord !ith the giver’s intention), and reciprocation. $bligations to accept the
gift and thank the giver and to use the gift as the giver intended stem from the purpose of
BABASAB PATIL )N
Retention of employees in pharmaceutical industry
gift exchangePbuilding personal, moral relationships. The felt obligation to reciprocate, to
give or do something in exchange for the gift is most troubling in the health care context.
3s .urray notes, #3ppropriate reciprocation depends on particular cultural norms and the
specifics of the relationship.;&* 2n the context of a gift to a health care professional from a
pharmaceutical industry representative, practitioners commonly understand that the hoped
for reciprocation involves the health care professional !riting more prescriptions for the
drug(s) the representative is promoting. Bias & Conflicts of Interest. Cealth care
professionals may be influenced by accepting gifts in t!o !ays. 3s !e have noted, they
understand that prescribing selected pharmaceutical products is the industry’s preferred
form of reciprocation, and some may be influenced to do so in response to the gift
received. $ne study, for example, found that physicians !ho met !ith or accepted money
from representatives of pharmaceutical companies (e.g., for educational presentations)
!ere more likely to re7uest that the companies’ drugs be added to a hospital pharmacy than
!ere colleagues !ho did not interact !ith pharmaceutical companies.&N 3 revie! of
physicians’ prescribing patterns found that usage of t!o drugs increased significantly
among physicians !ho attended #all1expense1paid; symposia at resorts sponsored by the
manufacturer of the drugs compared to their practice before the symposia.&> The majority
of physicians responding did not believe that such incentives !ould alter their prescribing
practices. Similarly, a recent study reported that (ritish general practitioners !ho had
!eekly contact !ith drug company representatives !ere more !illing to prescribe ne!
drugs and more likely #to express vie!s that !ill lead to unnecessary prescribing; than
general practitioners !ith less fre7uent contact !ith pharmaceutical representatives.)6 The
second concern is that gifts may insidiously introduce undetected or under appreciated bias
into professionals’ assessment of the overall merit or value of promoted pharmaceutical
products. There is evidence to indicate that practitioners themselves are often poor judges
of !hether or !hen external factors, such as gifts, influence their decision making.*, &H,

1ere training fits in. .any employers believe that training boosts morale,
enhances motivation, and improves personnel retention. .arriott hotels found, for
example, that effective training of its entry1level !orkers had a profound effect on keeping
these employees.
The 0lorida "o!er =orp. reduced its annual turnover rate from ,NL to >L using a uni7ue

&>>) Southport 2nstitute study of !orkplace education concluded that the longer an
organi5ation had an educational program in place for its personnel, the more likely it !as
to experience lo!er turnover, improved morale, and reduced hostility among its people.J)K
O 8hat else affects turnoverY 8hile there have been other reports of dramatic decreases in
employee turnover due to effective training, most of these studies lack validity since during
the periods studied there !ere concomitant changes that could have influenced turnover
rates. 0or instance, -oma <ee Taunton attempted to measure the impact of management
training on turnover among nurses. 3lthough her findings suggested a positive cause1
effect, results may have been ske!ed% 3t the time of her study, considerable do!nsi5ing of
hospitals !as taking place in her area.J)K 2t seems to follo! that anything that increases
unemployment may also increase !orker retention.
'mployee selection procedures can also distort turnover studies (better selection often
results in diminished turnover). -ichard 8ellins is 7uoted as saying, Q2f you have a
turnover problem ... N of &6 times it may very !ell be due to selection of personnel rather
than (lack of) training.Q
<eadership styles and major management innovations have a significant impact on
turnover, too. 8ellins found, for instance, that the turnover rate in !ork1team11oriented
facilities !as sometimes half that of similar institutions !ith traditional !orker1
management structures.
3lmost anything that influences morale can affect turnover (salary and benefits, ne!

fe!). 2f you believe employee attitude surveys truly reflect morale, and you accept the
theory that morale is an important factor in personnel retention, then there is abundant
evidence to support the fact that training positively affects holding onto employees. 3

Executive Summary
The pharmaceutical industry spends billions of dollars annually on gifts to
physicians often these gifts consist of items that are designed to enhance patient care (e.g.,
anatomical oodles) or learning (e.g., textbooks), but gifts may also be of a more personal
nature (e.g., vent tickets). Serious ethical concerns have been raised that gifts from the
pharmaceutical industry to individual health care professionals risk compromising health
care providers’ professional objectivity and integrity, andor undermining their
fundamental ethical commitment to putting the interests of patients first. This report
discusses the special nature of gift relationships, examines !hy gifts to health care
professionals from the pharmaceutical industry may be ethically problematic, and revie!s
professional ethical guidelines and legal standards regarding acceptance of gifts.

Cealth care professionals !ho prescribe pharmaceutical products base their
prescription decisions on many factors including effectiveness, safety, and cost. 2n an effort
to influence practitioners’ prescribing practices, the pharmaceutical industry employs diverse
marketing and promotional strategies, among them offers of free drug samples, educational
materials, meals, and other forms of gifts. These efforts are both intensive and expensive. 2n
)66& the drug industry spent more than M&G billion on visits to physicians’ offices. 2n the last
five years the number of pharmaceutical company sales representatives in the B.S. has
increased from ,),666 to NN,666.& Some N6L of physicians report having been offered cash
or gifts from pharmaceutical industry representatives.) .any physicians meet !ith
pharmaceutical industry representatives four or more times per month.* Serious ethical
concerns have been raised about these contacts bet!een the pharmaceutical industry and
individual health care professionals, especially !hen gifts are involved.,1> The practice of
accepting gifts from pharmaceutical industry representatives risks compromising health care
providers’ professional objectivity and integrity, and undermining their fundamental ethical
commitment to putting the interests of patients first. ?ift incentives to participate in
continuing professional education programs are the !rong incentives for health care
professionals and trainees, !ho should be independently motivated to participate in lifelong
learning.I 3nd there are economic conse7uences !hen the costs of gifts are passed along to

'scalating drug costs may ultimately result in limitations on access to care. 0ederal
regulations (at H =0-, "art )G*H) establish standards for conduct in relation to gifts for all
federal employees. (ut anecdotal reports from the field indicate that beyond these mandated
thresholds, local facilities’ policies about accepting gifts from the pharmaceutical industry
vary !idely !ithin @C3. To address this state of affairs, ne! national policy limits the
access representatives of the pharmaceutical industry may have to facilities and staff.O This
national guidance provides a foundation for the development of more uniform local policies
throughout the system. This report by the @C3 Eational 'thics =ommittee examines the
values at stake in relationships bet!een practitioners and the pharmaceutical industry from
the perspective of health care ethics. 2ts goal is to clarify the philosophical and professional
concerns that underlie regulations and policy in this area. The report addresses gifts provided
to individual health care professionals by representatives of the pharmaceutical industry.
$ften these gifts consist of items that are designed to enhance patient care (e.g., reflex
hammers, anatomical models) or learning (e.g., meals at educational events, textbooks), but
gifts may also be of a more personal nature (e.g., organi5ers, event tickets). The promotional
nature of gifts may be subtle or obvious, depending on, for example, !hether a sponsor or
product name is prominently displayed. 0or this report gifts are distinguished from purely
promotional items that have no intrinsic value to the recipient (e.g., product brochures) and
from compensation for professional !ork (e.g., honoraria). The report discusses the
definition of gifts, examines !hy gifts to health care professionals from the pharmaceutical
industry may be ethically problematic in the health care setting, and revie!s professional
ethical guidelines and legal standards regarding acceptance of gifts. 2t offers practical
recommendations to guide ethical policy !ithin @C3. 3lthough the analysis and
recommendations offered here !ere developed specifically in reference to gifts from

!ater 7uality !ithin the (lackstone -iver. The (lackstone -iver has been designated as a
Eational and 3merican Ceritage -iver by the Eational "ark Service. The (lackstone -iver
@alley Eational Ceritage =orridor !as designated by an 3ct of =ongress on Eovember &6,

!ork together in partnerships to protect the @alleyDs special identity and prepare for its future.
2ndian <ake is the largest body of !ater located completely !ithin the =ity of 8orcester,
.assachusetts (population of &I6,666R). The &>*1acre <ake !ith a mean depth of
approximately &6 feet offers many family activities including t!o public s!imming beaches,
picnic and recreation areas, a public boat launch and a tennis court. 2ndian <ake originally
encompassed ,6 acres and !as surrounded by marshes and farmland. 2n the late &N)6Ds during
the industrial era, the (lackstone =anal !as built to create a ne! transportation link bet!een
8orcester, .assachusetts and "rovidence, -hode 2sland. The .ill (rook !as dammed at
2ndian <ake to form the head!aters of the (lackstone =anal and (lackstone -iver to control
the flo! of !ater through the canal. 2n the late &N,6Ds the <ake !as used to harvest ice for
local businesses. The Bpper .ill (rook 8atershed area is approximately &H s7uare miles and
extends northerly into Colden. The main outlet from 2ndian <ake flo!s through a gated valve
in a southerly direction into Salisbury "ond and eventually into the (lackstone -iver. The
!atershed area is heavily urbani5ed and the major tributary entering into the <ake is 3rarat
(rook entering at the north!est corner of the <ake.
$ver the past H6 years, development !ithin the !atershed has increased dramatically !hich
has caused increased !ater 7uality problems at 2ndian <ake and its tributaries and inlets. This
development has attributed to rapid sedimentation from both upstream development and
urban runoff. Cigh phosphorous loading has also led to eutrophication and has resulted in
BABASAB PATIL >

severe impairment of !ater 7uality, primarily in the form of lo! dissolved oxygen, nuisance

their freedom to choose
for themselves !hat to do, including !hether or not to accept gifts from drug companies.
"sychological
research has found that threats to freedom often elicit reactance. -eactance is an emotional
reaction against
threats to freedom or pressure to change. -eactance can cause people to adopt or

'hat is promotion(
"romotion can be defined as persuasion !ith the aim or effect of increasing or
decreasing the use, sales or acceptance of a product, service or idea. "romotion is a subset
of marketing. The * other main components of marketing are% developing the product,
pricing and distribution or placement. Thus the , "s of marketing are% product, price,
promotion and place. "romotion includes many methods% advertising, sales representatives,

higher levels of prescribing for more common less severe cases !here the drug !as

associated !ith increased or decreased 7uality of prescribing. 2t may sometimes have no
effect, in !hich case it is just a !aste of money. 2t appears that overall exposure to drug
promotion may do more good than harm. There is not enough evidence of benefit to justify
doctors investing their limited time in allo!ing themselves to be exposed to drug
promotion. There is corruption in most professions including the medical profession.

unintended bias. #Social science research sho!s that even !hen individuals try to be

drug companies and praise is a more effective !ay to influence people than criticism.
Co!ever 2 have not been able to find any examples in 3ustralia or any of the many other

but on loser examination 2 find that they had fooled me. 2 fre7uently ask audiences at the

have been sent to me. 2f you see a good example please send it to me at
peterZhealthyskepticism.org. 2t is still possible that some promotion is ok but 2 think the
parentage must be very small. 2 conclude that the percentage of promotion is potentially

"vervie: of pharmaceutical
=linical research and development in the drug industry must be understood in the current
political and economic context of medical neoliberalism (0isher )66Ia9 forthcoming). 2n
the BS, neoliberalism is the guiding ideology behind economic policies that emphasi5e a
reduction in social services provided by the state and an increase in the role of the private
(for1profit) sector in the provision of social goods, such as health care, !elfare, and
education (.onahan )66G). .edical neoliberalism, in particular, is manifest in a consumer
model of health characteri5ed by an ine7uitable distribution of services according to !ho
can pay for different kinds of care (0rank )66)). The pharmaceutical industry benefits
from neoliberal forms of health care because un(der)insured populations in the BS can be
recruited as human subjects into clinical trials in exchange for limited, medical attention
for the duration of studies (0isher )66Ib).H 2n addition, many health care providers are
looking for ne! !ays to increase their revenue through a diversification of services (?ray
&>>*). 2n this climate, physicians become targeted as potential investigators on
pharmaceutical studies ("ham et al. )66,). The resulting organi5ation of clinical trials has
important implications for relationships of trust in drug development. "harmaceutical
clinical trials are characteri5ed as [contract research.’ Bnlike investigator1initiated research,
BABASAB PATIL )G
Retention of employees in pharmaceutical industry
those conducting pharmaceutical studies rarely have any role in defining the research
7uestions, designing the protocols, or analy5ing the results. 2nstead, scientists and
researchers at pharmaceutical companies determine these elements of clinical trials, and
clinicians are then hired to execute the protocols using their patients as subjects. 3lthough
physicians at academic medical centers and university hospitals confer legitimacy and
prestige on pharmaceutical studies, the bulk of contract research is conducted in the private
sector by physicians in private practices or for1profit, dedicated research centers.
!onceptual frame

The concept of trust provides a useful lens for exploring relationships among
pharmaceutical companies, clinicians (i.e., physicians and research coordinators), and
human subjects engaged in drug development. 2n the majority of scholarship on trust in
medicine, the focus is primarily trained on patients’ trust in their personal care providers,
human subjects’ trust in the researchers or institutions conducting clinical trials, and
citi5ens’ trust in their health care delivery systems (e.g., .ill man &>II9 .echanic &>>G9
+ao et al. &>>N9 $’Eeill )66)9 3llsop )66G). Tet, for pharmaceutical clinical trials to
operate effectively, clinicians must trust the pharmaceutical companies !ith !hich they are
!orking and pharmaceutical companies must trust the clinicians and human subjects. 8ith
each of these relationships, trust is multifaceted and negotiated as individuals respond to
their o!n and others’ institutional opportunities and constraints. Several modes of trust are
critical for the success of clinical development. 2n the clinical trials industry as seen
else!here, trust is necessary to ensure effective cooperation of all relevant actors and
organi5ations (see <uhmann &>I>9 <a "orta et al. &>>I). $ne !ay of understanding this
BABASAB PATIL )I
Retention of employees in pharmaceutical industry
dynamic is to distinguish bet!een ho! trust is constituted differently in individuals and
institutions. This difference in types of trust is important because both levelsPthe
individual and institutionalPcan shape the other, but each have uni7ue implications,
particularly if trust is misplaced ($’Eeill )66)). Specifically, trust in individuals may
overemphasi5e those actors’ intentions and motives !hile obscuring the effects of ho!
institutions structure (and limit) that trust (Shapiro &>NI). 0or example, physicians
conducting drug trials may indeed have the best interest of human subjects in mind, but
nonetheless they have only limited jurisdiction over decision1making regarding subjects’
participation. Thus, subjects’ trust in those physicians may give them a false sense of
confidence that their !ellbeing is appropriately safeguarded. 'xamining trust at the level
of individuals can ignore the myriad constraints that are placed on the range of individual
actions and choices.confidence in the integrity of the federal government (H =0-
)G*H.&6&9 '$ &)GI,). 8hereas the public relies on legal enforcement mechanisms to
assure that private health care organi5ations comply !ith relevant la! and regulation, they
expect public agencies and employees to adopt policies that not merely follo! the rule of
la! but also promote its spirit by establishing goals of exemplary behavior as ethical
standards. 3cceptance of any type of gift from the pharmaceutical industry by @C3
employees risks eroding public trust in @C3, possibly to a greater degree than !ould be
the case for employees in private agencies. .ore importantly, the beneficiaries of
government programsPveterans, in the case of @C3Pare often more dependent on
government services than are those !ho rely on private programs. This greater dependence
gives rise to the government’s obligation to adhere to a stricter ethical standard. Effects on
Professional Relationships. ?iven the !ays in !hich gift giving differs from entering into
a contractual relationship, gifts from pharmaceutical representatives to health care
professionals can blur the distinction bet!een formal business exchanges and informal,
interpersonal exchanges.&* The social experience of giving and receiving gifts affects the
relationship bet!een the t!o parties in complex and subtle !ays. 3nthropological
literature&* explains that the recipient of a gift often feels three types of obligation to!ard
the giver% grateful conduct (i.e., acceptance of the gift and expression of gratitude), grateful
use (i.e., in accord !ith the giver’s intention), and reciprocation. $bligations to accept the
gift and thank the giver and to use the gift as the giver intended stem from the purpose of
BABASAB PATIL )N
Retention of employees in pharmaceutical industry
gift exchangePbuilding personal, moral relationships. The felt obligation to reciprocate, to
give or do something in exchange for the gift is most troubling in the health care context.
3s .urray notes, #3ppropriate reciprocation depends on particular cultural norms and the
specifics of the relationship.;&* 2n the context of a gift to a health care professional from a
pharmaceutical industry representative, practitioners commonly understand that the hoped
for reciprocation involves the health care professional !riting more prescriptions for the
drug(s) the representative is promoting. Bias & Conflicts of Interest. Cealth care
professionals may be influenced by accepting gifts in t!o !ays. 3s !e have noted, they
understand that prescribing selected pharmaceutical products is the industry’s preferred
form of reciprocation, and some may be influenced to do so in response to the gift
received. $ne study, for example, found that physicians !ho met !ith or accepted money
from representatives of pharmaceutical companies (e.g., for educational presentations)
!ere more likely to re7uest that the companies’ drugs be added to a hospital pharmacy than
!ere colleagues !ho did not interact !ith pharmaceutical companies.&N 3 revie! of
physicians’ prescribing patterns found that usage of t!o drugs increased significantly
among physicians !ho attended #all1expense1paid; symposia at resorts sponsored by the
manufacturer of the drugs compared to their practice before the symposia.&> The majority
of physicians responding did not believe that such incentives !ould alter their prescribing
practices. Similarly, a recent study reported that (ritish general practitioners !ho had
!eekly contact !ith drug company representatives !ere more !illing to prescribe ne!
drugs and more likely #to express vie!s that !ill lead to unnecessary prescribing; than
general practitioners !ith less fre7uent contact !ith pharmaceutical representatives.)6 The
second concern is that gifts may insidiously introduce undetected or under appreciated bias
into professionals’ assessment of the overall merit or value of promoted pharmaceutical
products. There is evidence to indicate that practitioners themselves are often poor judges
of !hether or !hen external factors, such as gifts, influence their decision making.*, &H,

1ere training fits in. .any employers believe that training boosts morale,
enhances motivation, and improves personnel retention. .arriott hotels found, for
example, that effective training of its entry1level !orkers had a profound effect on keeping
these employees.
The 0lorida "o!er =orp. reduced its annual turnover rate from ,NL to >L using a uni7ue

&>>) Southport 2nstitute study of !orkplace education concluded that the longer an
organi5ation had an educational program in place for its personnel, the more likely it !as
to experience lo!er turnover, improved morale, and reduced hostility among its people.J)K
O 8hat else affects turnoverY 8hile there have been other reports of dramatic decreases in
employee turnover due to effective training, most of these studies lack validity since during
the periods studied there !ere concomitant changes that could have influenced turnover
rates. 0or instance, -oma <ee Taunton attempted to measure the impact of management
training on turnover among nurses. 3lthough her findings suggested a positive cause1

hospitals !as taking place in her area.J)K 2t seems to follo! that anything that increases
unemployment may also increase !orker retention.
'mployee selection procedures can also distort turnover studies (better selection often
results in diminished turnover). -ichard 8ellins is 7uoted as saying, Q2f you have a
turnover problem ... N of &6 times it may very !ell be due to selection of personnel rather
than (lack of) training.Q
<eadership styles and major management innovations have a significant impact on
turnover, too. 8ellins found, for instance, that the turnover rate in !ork1team11oriented

fe!). 2f you believe employee attitude surveys truly reflect morale, and you accept the
theory that morale is an important factor in personnel retention, then there is abundant
evidence to support the fact that training positively affects holding onto employees. 3
