Working with HumanService Organizations
First and foremost, this topic revolves around the AUSTRALIAN society. So focus, examples and pointers should be within and related to the AUSTRALIAN context.
This is also a paper for a Social Work degree course and is under a subject called ‘Working with Human Service Organizations’. Hence, the context and relevant literature should be related to Social Work AND working with Human Service Organizations in AUSTRALIA. I will be uploading an attachment with the case study and article that this assignment SHOULD be based on. It is very IMPORTANT to read the article that I have attached carefully as this assessment should be written according to it.
Article attached is called ‘Briskman, L., Zion, D., & Loff, B. (2012). Care or collusion in asylum seeker detention, Ethics and Social Welfare, 6(1), 37-55.’ (Hence this should also be under the REFERENCE list)
The point of this paper is to DEMOSTRATE THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE IN ORGANIZATION THEORY ON A SPECIFIC ORGANIZATIONAL SETTING.
**Please USE TEXTBOOK: ‘Ozanne, E & Rose, D 2013, The organisational context of human services practice., 1st edn, Palgrave Macmillan, South Yarra, Victoria.’ as MAIN REFERENCE SOURCE.**
Assignment 1 is in two parts. Use the headings below.
Part A: Profile of the Organisations [Use half the words allocated]
Using clues that can be gleaned from the accounts of workers’ experiences in the article, provide a profile of the human service organisations in terms of:
– How recipients of services are conceptualised
– How workers are conceptualised
– Governance and decision making structures [Please NOTE that ‘governance and decision making’ in this context is WITHIN the organization itself and NOT external issues. Hence, structures INSIDE the organization/detention centre as per article.]
Part B: Influence of the External Environment [Use half the words allocated]
Critically consider the role of the external environment – particularly the societal politics behind the issue and the funding relationships these organisations have – in shaping the development of the culture within those organisation represented by how recipients of services and workers are conceptualised and the governance and decision making structures.
[ EXAMPLE would be the government policies in relation to ASYLUM SEEKERS in the AUSTRALIAN society. Hence for this section, it is about EXTERNAL factors/environment that influences the organizations decision-making and the culture within the organization.]
