Download or read book Staff Perceptions of a Participatory Strategic Planning Process at One Community College written by Eve L. McDermott and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of participants involved in one community college's strategic planning process in which faculty, administrators, and staff at all levels of the organization were encouraged to participate. Data were collected through direct observation, focus group interviews, analysis of institutional documents, and a pen and paper questionnaire. Data were analyzed through a constant comparative method. Reduction of the data produced themes exploring the reaction of participants to the new strategic planning process. This qualitative study generated four hypotheses that relate to these research questions: 1. Staff participation in an organization's strategic planning process results in a deeper staff understanding of the organization's mission, a higher staff commitment to the organization's goals, and a demonstration of greater staff energy and vitality. 2. Community college departments will interpret and implement institutional strategic planning processes in ways that are unique and congruent with their academic discipline; a single process cannot be successfully dictated. 3. When managers serve as facilitators or use others to facilitate strategic planning processes, staff will self-organize, a process will emerge, and leadership will take a variety of forms. 4. Community college staff who encounter change in strategic planning processes can be categorized as Guarded Optimists, Curmudgeons, Crusaders, or Along for the Ride, based on levels of frustration and optimism. Recommendations for Practice: 1. Obtain acceptance of terminology from all units before beginning the participatory strategic planning process. Use acceptable terms in form/templates and in facilitation. 2. Do not dictate a single process for strategic planning across all disciplines. Design forms and processes that are adaptable to differences in styles of critical thinking. 3. Use facilitators to assist units in the participatory strategic planning effort. Train the facilitators to work in ways that empower participants. 4. Reduce participant frustration and increase optimism by providing sufficient time, creating sustainable feedback loops, both of which demonstrate that the unit manager has thought through the process. 5. Increase participation in strategic planning processes to gain deeper understanding of the organization's mission, higher commitments to organizational goals, and a demonstration of greater energy and vitality.

Book excerpt: Synthesizes the empirical literature on organizationalstructuring to answer the question of how organizations structure themselves --how they resolve needed coordination and division of labor. Organizationalstructuring is defined as the sum total of the ways in which an organizationdivides and coordinates its labor into distinct tasks. Further analysis of theresearch literature is neededin order to builda conceptualframework that will fill in the significant gap left by not connecting adescription of structure to its context: how an organization actuallyfunctions. The results of the synthesis are five basic configurations (the SimpleStructure, the Machine Bureaucracy, the Professional Bureaucracy, theDivisionalized Form, and the Adhocracy) that serve as the fundamental elementsof structure in an organization. Five basic parts of the contemporaryorganization (the operating core, the strategic apex, the middle line, thetechnostructure, and the support staff), and five theories of how it functions(i.e., as a system characterized by formal authority, regulated flows, informalcommunication, work constellations, and ad hoc decision processes) aretheorized. Organizations function in complex and varying ways, due to differing flows -including flows of authority, work material, information, and decisionprocesses. These flows depend on the age, size, and environment of theorganization; additionally, technology plays a key role because of itsimportance in structuring the operating core. Finally, design parameters aredescribed - based on the above five basic parts and five theories - that areused as a means of coordination and division of labor in designingorganizational structures, in order to establish stable patterns of behavior.(CJC).

This book was released on 1985 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major purpose of this study was to develop and test a procedural model for assessing work group effectiveness in a community college. The model required a process to identify differences and commonalities among work groups perceived to be effective and those perceived to be less effective. In addition, this study examined the differences and commonalities of employee work groups commonly found in community college organizational structures. The population used to test this model consisted of the employees of an Oregon community college, Utilizing the Work Group Survey II, group members individually described twenty-six functional characteristics of their respective work groups on a five point Likert scale and group means were determined. Analysis of the mean scores for each of the twenty-six variables was made using a two-way fixed analysis of variance. The most notable differences between Effective and Less Effective groups were in Group Characteristics such as: (1) Group Heterogeneity, (2) Group Stratification, (3) Factionalism, and (4) Group Status. Very limited differences could be detected between Instructional and Instructional Support classifications of work groups, but significant differences were found between Operational Support work groups and the other two classifications. The most notable differences were in Task Characteristics such as: (1) Task Programmability, (2) Polarization of Group Efforts, and (3) Accuracy. There was never any intention to draw inferences about other community college populations from the data collected and analyzed by this study. Test data did, however, confirm some results of prior studies and lacked consistency with other data from other types of organizational settings.
