Teaching Personnel System Design: Manpower Utilization

This paper focuses upon how the resources and technology available to an organization can be organized and structured to accomplish program goals. A systems model is offered whereby emphasis upon self-control, communication, and feedback is applied to agency performance rather than effort. A growing use of different kinds of manpower and increasing specialization in social welfare agencies requires consideration of both the individual and the work environment. The way in which work is organized and structured may increasingly determine the kind and quality of services an agency provides to its clients.
