Management Reform

The public non-profit organizations and private profit-organizations, differ in very many ways, and this consequently due to the differences in the managerial levels, organizational levels and employees levels. The two organization possess different forms of management, thus making them to be different from each other (Andersen, 2010). Public organizations operate under very strict managements, which makes sure that the workflow remains smooth without any problems at all. In addition, the managers of the organizations are answerable to other public figures in authority, such as politicians (Cohen, Eimicke & Heikkila, 2013). On the other hand, private organizations are run by managers who tend to better their relationships with the employees, thus allowing the employees to work at ease. This allows the management of the company to be able to maintain the flow of information within the organization.

When it comes to the employees, public organizations tend to treat their employees unfairly, since the managers do not maintain a good relationship with their employees (Andersen, 2010). Managers are very strict, and they may not also allow the employees to participate in decision making of the organization. In private sectors, all employees are treated equally, a move which makes them to work very hard, thus being able to reach the organizations goals (Cohen, Eimicke & Heikkila, 2013). Employees are also allowed to participate in the organizations decision making, thus allowing the organization to be able to come up with very effective strategies.

            It is very hard to implement private organization’s practices to public organizations. This is consequently because public organizations are usually owned by a parastatal, a thing which makes it hard for the heads of the organization to allow practices such as the participation of employees in the decision making of the organization (Andersen, 2010). On the other hand, practices such as treating all employees equally and maintaining a close relationship between the management and the employees can be applicable in non-profit organizations, since it will favor the operations of non-profit organizations (Cohen, Eimicke & Heikkila, 2013).
