Much like the architectural blueprint of a house which reflects its functional layout depending on the wishes and needs of the client, the design of an organization is also indicative of its function as delineated by its founders. Design consists of people, the division of labor into different units and coordination between them (Jonker et al., 2012). This means getting people to assume roles and responsibilities, defining the relationships between various roles, setting up processes to get all tasks done, and establishing systems to facilitate these processes. External and internal factors influence organizational design at the onset and continually reshape ...

It is common for people, especially those opting for prison-related jobs, to perceive the prison as one of the most high-risk places. Such assumptions overlook the fact that compared to the number of prison wardens who die in a year, the number of prisoners who die in prisons is far much higher. It is disheartening to note that a significant percentage of these deaths are far from natural but are rather directly linked to medical neglect, sexual assaults, gang violence, and lack of rehabilitation in prisons among other causes, all of which being preventable causes. These deaths have always taken a plethora ...

Introduction

This means that employees within a healthcare facility, which include the nursing fraternity, are obliged to uphold high level of standards in creating sustainable relationships with patients. According to Perron and Pronsati (2012), those high standards should be guided ...

Prisons were introduced in the 1700s as correctional facilities to punish and mould the behavior of lawbreakers. A prison administrator is an individual charged with the responsibility of maintaining order in a prison. Titles such as superintendent, governor, and warden are used in reference to prison administrators. The most important goals of prison administrators are maintaining control over the prison system, offering care, and managing custody of the inmates (Cornelius, 2010). The achievement of these goals, however, depends on factors that affect the administrators. These factors include the problem of overpopulation in the facilities, issues among inmates, and inadequate budget ...

Because of the huge costs that are incurred in the construction of a new correctional facility, countries such as the United States of America and Britain have opted to subcontract private prisons to cater for the rising need for space in the prison facilities. Mass incarceration has created an opportunity niche that is currently being exploited by American Business people. The privatization of prisons in the United States is caused by the punitive measures and the tough sentencing rules adopted by the criminal ...

Medical profession has a broad spectrum of ethical and legal issues at a broader organizational level as well as at an individual level. While it is an individual who actually delivers the services, it is because of the brand that a patient goes in. Hence, it is logical to extend the responsibility of omissions and commissions from the individual caregiver to the organization also.

Negligence has serious connotations in any profession, but more so in the medical profession. A simple injection administered through the wrong route (for example, an IV (intra-venous) injection administered as an IM (intra-muscular) injection could result in severe ...

Introduction

Organisations can thrive in a market environment only when they effectively compete and adapt to new trends by improving the quality of goods and services they offer (Fen & Lian 2010).

There are various security measures that can be applicable in safeguarding assets in a building, facility or premise. This will depend on the level of severity of the security risk that may be currently faced (Fennelly, 2013). The most commonly used method of enhancing security in buildings is through the use of locks along with key control. In this regard, a business owner may decide to use locks that are referred to as dead bolts, where necessary (Fennelly, 2013).

The other type of key and lock is referred to as ...

QUALITY INDICATORS

Management is to an organization what a driver is to a car. The decisions made by the management team are vital in the direction that the organization takes. Any pitfalls that an organization might face are resultant from the decisions that management might have made or failed to make.

In a number of states and in the Federal correctional system, there are a number of inmates that have been literally sent to harsh solitary confinement for all of their sentences in prison. For example, a set of prisoners in the Ohio correctional system have been designated ...

Q 1
The coaching of an employee through progressive discipline is advantageous since preparation is prelude to the course of enacting and implementing discipline at work. This approach offers room for free and comfortable interaction with managers and their employees.

This gives room for not making hasty conclusions until one gathers the facts. The major elements that support positive discipline are ...
