Organizational Factors and the Implementation of Family to Family: Contextual Elements of Systems Reform
Crea, Thomas M.; Crampton, David S.; Knight, Nelson; Paine-Wells, Lisa
Child Welfare, v90 n2 p143-161 2011
In efforts to reform the child welfare system, agency leaders must involve staff at all levels; yet, little research has been done to determine which organizational factors encourage or inhibit staff engagement. Employees from an urban child welfare agency were invited to complete a survey regarding organizational effectiveness and its influence on reform efforts. The results show how these findings can be used by managers to improve practice, specifically through increased information sharing with stakeholders. (Contains 3 tables.)
