Scenario
After 19 years of service, Paul was appointed as the warden of a
small mixed-security prison in a rural community. He oversees
105 inmates and 51 staff members in a facility designed to hold
100 minimum and medium security prisoners. Over 80 percent
of his correctional officers have three or more years experience
on the job, and the treatment and education programs are run
by qualified professionals with long work histories at the
facility. Generally, Paul is happy with his job and doesn't mind
dealing with a few inexperienced correctional officers who tend
to make minor mistakes. He occasionally gets some tough
prisoners, but they settle down quickly because of the fair
policies enforced by Paul. The overall environment of the
prison is peaceful.
One day he had lunch with his friend Stephen, who is the
warden of a large maximum-security prison located outside a
metropolitan city with a high crime rate. Stephen oversees 720
inmates and 130 staff members in a facility designed to house
375 prisoners. Due to overcrowding and budget cuts, the prison
offers limited treatment and education programs, most of which
are staffed by volunteers. The majority of the inmates are
repeat offenders with lengthy sentences, and 20 percent of them
are serving life without the possibility of parole. Major
disciplinary infractions occur on a daily basis. Although the
overall atmosphere of the prison is orderly, there is constant
tension between the staff and inmates, and maintaining security
is an ongoing struggle.
Stephen's views about his job are completely different from
Paul's. Stephen finds his job overwhelming, thankless, and
stressful. This is surprising to Paul because both of them
underwent the same training, worked together as fresh officers,
and use similar managerial techniques. Paul begins to wonder
how situational determinants are affecting his and Stephen's
ability to be effective leaders and managers.
Assess the reasons for the different patterns in the relationships
that the two wardens have with their subordinates.
How can Paul and Stephen's management philosophies affect the
work patterns in their respective facilities?
How could work pattern and size of the organizational unit
affect Paul and Stephen differently? How could it affect the
desired management philosophy?
How could the prisons that Paul and Stephen work in differ with
regard to crises? How could this influence their management
philosophy?
