Management in Human Service Organizations by Marc L. Miringoff Pdf

Abstract: A college teaching text and authoritative guide to organizational problem-solving offers a comprehensive and innovative approach to improving the management of a variety of programs (e.g., mental health, alcoholism, social services, etc.). Following an introductory chapter on the need for a proper perspective in human service management, the remaining 12 chapters are grouped under 2 principal themes: analyzing the organization to determine how well human services are developed; and managing the organization to effectively initiate and maintain improved services. The philosophical approach employs such management concepts as authority, professional expertise, decision-making, and goals for organizational analysis, and employs various management tools (e.g., program evaluation, budgeting, reporting system, staff development community relations) for improving services in human service organizations.
