What’s In
Hello GAS Grade 12! Are you enjoying your being the GENERALS? Well you are now
having your Specialized subject, Organization and Management. Do you know why DepEd is
offering you this subject? (Pause for a while and think for your answer). Yes! Because as a GAS
learner you may think of enrolling in any field of Business Management or Business
Administration when you enter the tertiary level.
In this lesson, you will discover that all organizations need good managers in order to
accomplish their goal. More so, organizational management is not an easy task thus
coordination, efficiency and effectiveness are required to carry out by managers.
What’s new
Figure 1
Task 1
1. Which part does the cycle start? Why do you think so?
2. Which part does the cycle end? Why do you think so?
3. Do you agree or disagree that a manager should be always following the arrows
in managing their employees? Why?
Management analysis is done by breaking it down into five major managerial duties; thus
making managerial knowledge more understandable. Figure 1 showed the management
functions.
Organizing. Demands assigning tasks, setting aside funds, and bringing harmonious relations
among the individuals and work groups or teams in the organizations.
Staffing. Indicates filling in different job positions in the organization’s structure; the factors
that influence this function include: size of the organizations, types of jobs, number of individual
to be recruited, and some external and internal pressures.
Leading. Entails influencing or motivating subordinates to do their bets so that they would be
able to help the organization’s endeavor to attain their set of goals.
Controlling. Involves evaluating and correcting the performance of the individuals or work
groups or teams to ensure that they are all working toward the previously set goals and plans
of the organization.
Management functions- planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling- will all go
to waste if coordination, efficiency and effectiveness are not practiced by organization’s
appointed managers. Top-level managers, middle-level managers, and team leaders or
supervisors must all be conscious of the said practices of successful organizations as they
perform their management functions.
