6. Organizational Theory and Design
Theory:
If I were to apply a theory to my organization; I would apply "Human Relations Theory" because I feel that in human services
it is important to focus on worker satisfaction and means of employee productivity. Applying this theory not only makes
workers feel satisfied but also appreciated. In "BlueSky Child Protective Organization I feel that it is important to not only
recognize and respect the ones working for you but also have respect and kindness toward the children and families we are
helping. this type of integration of people will motivate people to be and do their best as team players, creating a smooth flow
of productivity, cooperatively with economics, psychological and social satisfaction.
