Assignment 6.2 Nancy Carrizales Mr. Juan Animas Jr. SOCW 6323-01V University of Texas Rio Grande Valley

Abstract Social work administrators are important and necessary people who hold positions of responsibility and trust within social organizations. All administrators are role models for paid and voluntary staff, clients, and community members. Administrators of social organizations must make many decisions every day that are critical to the operation of the organization and the services provided to individuals in need. Social workers generally ascribe to open two-way communication and shared decision making as opposed to top-down communication. Administrators, moreover, present the organization itself as a model work environment that is humane, transparent, just, helpful, and compassionate. Keywords: administrators, social, organization, work, decisions, community

Assignment 6.2 Administrators who align themselves with the action social model are dedicated to creating a positive organization whose benefits are of high quality. At their core administrators are dedicated to strengthening and empowering not only clients but social workers and the entire social agency. They use the agency’s assets and resources in a responsible way. They infuse the organization with social work values, especially social justice. Administrators ensure that the agency is a good neighbor in the wider community, maintaining positive relationships with other organizations in the agency’s social environment, and with society. Consistent with the social work Code of Ethics, administrators advocate within and outside their agencies for adequate resources to meet clients’ needs and allocate those resources in ways that are open and fair. Administrators are committed to using resources in ways that promote the agency’s cause, maintain its character, and extend its services. When not all clients’ needs can be met, administrators, in coordination with both the core social workers and clients, develop allocation procedures that are nondiscriminatory and based on principles that areas just and consistent as possible. Administrators using the action-social perspective monitor and strengthen the organization’s culture to ensure that its programs are congruent with its vision. The internal environment of the organization must always be one of openness, responsibility, and service in line with the values of the social work profession. This relates to when I would work in a school and the administrator was the school principal who would be the one the oversee school activities such as schedules and timetables of classes, oversee students meet their learning objectives, develop, organize, sort-out and maintain

school’s curriculum. Administrators also monitor and observe teachers and evaluate their performance. They also come up with programs and ideas for their campus. There was also the conducting in parent-teacher meetings to talk about student’s advancement and conduct. They also evaluate test/ exam results of students to know where each student ranks. Lastly they organize professional development programs, cultural events, annual days and workshops for students and staff manage school’s budget, supplies, and maintenance. They ensure security for students, staff, and visitors According to Grover Starling, an administrator will decide to make a decision alone when faced with the following constraints: When time limits preclude group process, when the administrator has all the information needed to decide, when the alternatives are clear and the constraints are easily calculated, when intergroup coordination and cooperation is not a factor, when values inherent in the decision are straightforward and are not in conflict. Congruent with rational problem solving, after gathering information and reviewing the strengths and limits of each alternative solution, the administrator chooses the alternative that is cheapest, most efficient, or most effective in accomplishing a specific goal. Then the administrator will often involve others in implementing the decision. Individual decision making using RPS is fast, requires few organizational resources, and can be effective in implementing an administrator’s values and in giving the organization direction. Groups tend to be superior to individuals because they can break a complex problem into pieces and each member can assess different parts of it. Group members together often have more accumulated knowledge and information than any one individual. The diversity of experience and thinking styles present in a group can lead to more innovative solutions than an “expert” could produce by working alone.
