ADMINISTRATION
• Administration is the organization and direction of human and material resources to achieve desired ends - Pfiffner and presthus
• Administration has to do with getting things done; with the accomplishment of defined objectives. - Luther Gullick

FUNCTIONS OF ADMINISTRATION
![Page 5: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
1. PLANNING• Planning means to decide in
advance what is to be done. It charts a course of actions for the future.
• It is an intellectual process and it aims to achieve a coordinated and consistent set of operations aimed at desired objectives.
![Page 6: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
2.Organizing • Once the objectives have been
established through planning, management concern must turn to developing an organization that is capable of carrying them out. The management function of organizing can be defined as ,‖relating people and things to each other in such a way that they are all combined and interrelated into a unit capable of being directed toward the organizational objectives
![Page 7: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The most basic premise of organization is Division of work (is essential for
efficiency)
Work activities required for the organizational performance are separated

• Horizontal differentiation (i.e.. Dividing the organization into operational units for more effective and efficient performance.)
• Vertical differentiation (i.e.. Establishes the hierarchy and the number of levels in the organization

RESPONSIBILITY AUTHORITY
FORMAL ORGANIZATION
![Page 10: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The formal organization depends on two basic principles: • a) Responsibility: responsibility
in an organization is divided among available personnel by grouping the functions that are similar in objectives and content. This should be done in a manner that avoids overlaps and gaps as much as possible. Responsibility may be continuing or it may be terminated by the accomplishment of a single action.
![Page 11: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
CONTD..
• b) Authority: when responsibility is given to a person, he must also be given the authority to make commitments, use resources and take the actions necessary to carry out his responsibilities.
![Page 12: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
3. STAFFING
• Staffing is the selection, training, motivating and retaining of a personnel in the organization. Before selection we have to make analysis of the particular job, which is required in the organization., then comes the selection of the personnel. It involves manpower planning to have the right person in the right place and avoid ―square peg in the round hole‖.
![Page 13: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Manpower planning involves the following steps.
• 1. Scrutiny of present personnel strength.
• 2. Anticipation of manpower needs.
• 3. Investigation of turnover of personnel.
• 4. Planning job requirements and job descriptions.
![Page 14: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
4. DIRECTING
• Directing means the issue of orders, assignments and instructions that permit the subordinate to understand what is expected of him, and the guidance and overseeing of the subordinate so that he can contribute effectively and efficiently to the attainment of organizational objectives.
•
![Page 15: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Directing includes the following activities
![Page 16: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Giving orders:
• The central task in directing is giving orders. The order is the technical means through which a subordinate understands what is to be done. To facilitate this there are certain characteristics of good orders which manager should be aware of:
![Page 18: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• The order should be clear, concise and consistent to give sufficient information to ensure understanding
• Order should be based on obvious demands of a particular situation, it seems logical to the subordinates and not just an arbitrary whim of the manager.
• The tone of the order is very important. The manner in which the manager delivers the order has a great deal to do with its acceptance by the subordinate.
![Page 19: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
CONTD..
• Whenever possible, the reason for the order should be given. A subordinate will accept an order more readily if he understands the need for it.
• In some instances the manager uses delegation of authority instead of issuance of orders for avoiding too many specific orders.
![Page 20: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
SUPERVISION
• Supervision is the activity of the management that is concerned with the training and discipline of the work force. It includes follow up to assure the prompt and proper execution of orders.
• Supervision is the art of overseeing, watching and directing with authority, the work and behaviour of other.
![Page 21: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
LEADING• Leadership is the ability to inspire
and influence others to contribute to the attainment of the objectives. Successful leadership is the result of interaction between the leader and his subordinates in a particular organizational situation.
• There are number of styles of leadership that have been identified such as autocratic, democratic participative leadership.
![Page 22: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Motivating• Motivation refers to the way in
which the needs (urges, aspirations, desires) control, direct or explain the behaviour of human beings. The manager must motivate, or cause, the employee to follow directives
![Page 23: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Communicating: • Communication is the passing of
information and understanding from a sender to receiver.
• Communication is vital to the directing function of the management, one way to visualise this importance is to view the manager on one side of a barrier and the work group on the other. Communication is the means the manager has of reaching through the barrier to attain work group activity.
![Page 24: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
5.COORDINATING
• It is the act of synchronising people and activities so that they function smoothly in the attainment of organization objectives. Coordination is more important in the health services organization, because functionally they are departmentalized. Different kinds of organization require different amount of coordination.
![Page 25: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Controlling:
• Controlling can be defined as the regulation of activities in accordance with the requirements of plans.
![Page 26: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Managers have two broad options with respect to control.
• They can rely on people to exercise self-control (internal) over their own behavior.
• Alternatively, managers can take direct action (external) to control the behavior of others.
![Page 32: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

1)Establish Objectives and Standards
• There are two types of standards:– Output Standards - measures
performance results in terms of quantity, quality, cost, or time.
– Input Standards - measures work efforts that go into a performance task.
![Page 62: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)

2)Measuring Actual Performance
• Measurements must be accurate enough to spot deviations or variances between what really occurs and what is most desired.
• Without measurement, effective control is not possible.
![Page 63: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)

3)Comparing Results with Objectives and Standards
• The comparison of actual performance with desired performance establishes the need for action.
• Ways of making such comparisons include:– Historical / Relative / Engineering– Benchmarking
![Page 64: Functions of administration](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55620a6dd8b42acb1e8b46d0/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
