Application: Conceptual Frameworks

To understand leadership within human services organizations, it is first important to recognize four frameworks that work within human services organizations. The

frameworks are structural, human resource, political, and symbolic. The structural framework promotes efficient operations and goal-oriented administration. A leader

under this framework may emphasize structure, strategy, and results. The human resource framework promotes human aspects, both individual and group, within an

organization. A leader under this framework supports and empowers staff. The political framework emphasizes conflict and differences among organizational members. A

leader under this framework attempts to build coalitions and negotiate compromise. Finally, the symbolic framework relates to organizational culture and mission.

Leaders under this framework are inspirational and visionary. When organizational issues arise, one or more of these four frameworks may come into play. Leadership

styles also correspond to a given framework.

For this Application Assignment review the Introduction to “Human Services Administration” video script that is attached. Take note of and select one issue faced

by the human services administrator. Consider the cause of the issue you select. Think about which framework relates to it and the leadership style that corresponds to

it. Be specific in attributing the issue you observe to the framework and the leadership style that is at work.

The assignment (2 1/2 pages):

* Identify and briefly describe the issue you selected from the video script.
* Explain which conceptual framework(s) applies to the major issue you selected.
* Explain one leadership style that corresponds to the framework(s).
* Share an insight about how conceptual frameworks account for leadership style in human services organizations.

Support your Application Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list for all resources,

including those in the Learning Resources for this course.

Read the following scenario and respond the questions that follow in a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document.

A large farm produces a number of vegetables for sale to the highest bidder (usually buyers who aggregate the produce from lots of small farms and sell the produce to

grocery store chains). The farm is receiving complaints about the quality of its produce. More specifically, complaints are being received about the produce being

damaged or bruised, becoming inedible too quickly, or not being consistent with the package label (in terms of how much produce is in each box or container).

Identify potential quality concerns in the traditional areas of machinery, employees, measurements, and materials.
Organize these quality concerns using a cause-and-effect diagram.
Recommend potential changes to these traditional areas to attempt to reduce or eliminate the quality problems that are leading to the complaints.
