Organizational Structure and Institutional Care
Copyright policy )Organizational Structure and Institutional Care
This study examines the formal organizational structure of a residential institution for the mentally retarded and specifies some of the influences of alternative structures upon selected staff behaviors in resident care. The objective was to test the proposition that decentralization of institutional structure facilitates the individualization of resident care. Longitudinal and cross-sectional analyses of a number of specific organizational variables and resident management practices revealed strong relationships between the dependent variable and certain organizational, stafi, and resident characteristics. A theoretical model of the interactions among the variables was developed and tested by means of path analysis.
