3. Managerial Control
 Managerial control over an organization is a critical part of organizational behavior, the
Workplace Communicationwebsitenotes.There are several levelsof managerial control atCivic
CenterKarachi fromautocratic control,inwhichthe managementteamdictatestothe staff,and
interactive control, in which the staff has a say in how the company is run.

Ethics
 Civic Center creates and uses a strong ethical policy that notices organizational behavior
in the workplace. The management team is asked to enforce the company's ethical code
when it comes to interacting with employees, treating customers and doing business with
vendors.
 A company needs to consider all factors that can affect organizational ethics and work to
maintain the way of doing business at all times.
 High turnover in an organization can put ethics in jeopardy because incoming employees
are not familiar with the company culture and will need time to get up to speed.
Accountability
 A strong organizational structure can help maintain the organizational behavior of
accountability.
 When the company knows which staff members are responsible for various company
functions and projects, those employees can be made accountable for their success.
 If there is no accountability for success or failure within an organization, there is not way
to reward productivity or punish those who take away from the company's bottom line.
Developing a corporate culture where every employee is accountable for her actions can
have a positive effect on staff behavior.
Participatory Leadership
 This can be accomplished through mechanisms such as an employee advisory team that
allows employees to provide input into policies and programs to design a first rate work

4. environment. This team can empower and develop employees to their fullest potential,
create assignments based on employee strengths, and allow employees to fully explore
their interests as innovative ideas are brought forward
Wellness andLife Balance Programs
 Many public agencies have learned the importance and value of offering programs such
as flexible work schedules, onsite daycare, onsite dry cleaning pickup and delivery and
onsite exercise classes.
 Employees often happily pay the cost of these amenities. The convenience of having
many services onsite and the time saved running errands after or before work means
more time available for family and/or pursuits of personal interest.
Management of Organization:
Given the governance-related crisis Karachi is facing, climate change will have
profound impacts on its urban infrastructure systems and services, its built
environmentand ecosystemservices, and thereforeon its urban population and
economy.
The scale of these impacts will very likely exacerbate the existing social and
economic tensions and environmental drivers of risk, especially for
marginalized and low-income groups lacking basic services, warns a recently
prepared report.
The survey’s findings constitute an important part of the report that discusses
the state of basic services in Karachi and the vulnerability (to climate change)
this engenders. It includes an analysis of specific city trends that are increasing
the vulnerability of residents and the city as well as providing a list of
recommendations with the conclusions drawn from the assessment.
Dangerous land use
Pointing to the potentially dangerousland usepractices currently in place in the
city, the report warns that they “foretell of more serious ecological impacts in
the city. Sensitive areas are being occupied (for example, drainage channels are
being blocked by formal and informal developments),green cover is decreasing,

5. open spaces are shrinking and, in areas such as Machhar Colony and Rehri
Goth, land is being reclaimed in potentially dangerous ways that will endanger
those who build their homes on it.”
Karachi, according to the report, has no social housing, and government policy
requires that even the poor access homes from the market, which does not cater
to low-income groups which, in the absence of assets and formal-sector jobs,
also do not have access to credit from housing banks. The solution to this
requires major political changes in the ‘privatization’ ideology and involves
bringing state land into the low-cost housing market.
It calls upon the government to reduce basic service deficits and improve
infrastructure systems (water supply, sanitation, storm water and waste water
drains, solid waste disposal, transport and telecommunications, healthcare,
education and emergency response), which, it says, can significantly reduce
hazard exposure and vulnerability to climate change, especially for those who
are most at risk and vulnerable.
“The interconnected nature of current development imperatives, disaster risk
reduction and climate adaptation can best be pursued under a comprehensive
climate change adaptation strategy and action plan. An important part of such
a plan will be improvements in the existing institutions of governance and the
creation of strong horizontal linkages between them,” it says.
Karachi’s coast, it says, is daily receiving ever-decreasing river flow and more
than 450 million gallons of raw sewage. As population pressure and economic
compulsions continue to make land for housing unaffordable, vulnerable
people are being pushed into ecologically risky areas in search of land for
homes.

6. Unplanned densification
The process of (unplanned) densification will continue because there are no
ideas or planning processes in place that will be able to bridge the
demand/supply gap in housing.
“Impending climate change will likely have a huge impact on the coastal and
fishing communities, so any climate adaptation strategy must begin by
understanding and responding to the challenges these communities face,” it
says.
Migration, the report points out, would continue to increase due to changes in
the rural economy,cropping patterns andincreases in the rural population, and
so anticipating the nature and scale of migration and dealing with migrants and
their needs and impacts would have to become an essential part of urban
planning in the city.
“So far, issues related to migration do not figure in Karachi’s strategic
development plan except as numbers. However, various academic studies are
underway; howthese can helppoliticians and planners take informed decisions
needs to be understood and promoted,” it says.
Basic survival major worry
Findings of the community surveys showedthat the basic survival needs (food,
health expenditure and utilities) constituted the bulk of their household
expenditure and were also the main source of worry; this, combined with no
reported instances of savings, implied that people lived from “hand to mouth”,
leaving them with little or no financial resources to draw upon in times of need.

7. The provision of basic services such as adequate solid waste collection and easy
availability of clean drinking water was foundinadequate in all foursettlements
while flooding was considered as a major concern by all communities.
“More than two-thirds of respondents reported that at the time of a disaster,
community/neighbors and, to a lesser extent, NGOs, provided assistance, with
a very small number reporting receiving help from government sources,” the
report says.
Many of the issues highlighted in the report relate to the governance systems.
In Karachi, due to the prevailing adversarial relationship between the two main
political entities, the report authors believe, city-level institutions have been
battered out of shape or destroyed.
“So new, responsive and representative institutions are needed, that can better
plan, organize and deliver improved services (health, education, water,
sanitation) that meet the minimum requirements of the city’s residents
especially the poorand marginalized. Residentsare not hopeful,as they distrust
the state and consider it corrupt,” the report says.
The authorshope that with the “combinedpressure from civil society, chambers
of commerce and industry, academia, trade unions, and shopkeepers and
market operators associations, the two major political parties can be brought
closer together to overcome the governance-related crisis of Karachi.
