DOMAINS OF LABORATORY MANAGEMENT Flashcards
- Working with and through people
- Art of getting things done (achieving a goal) through people
LABORATORY MANAGEMENT
knows the job per se (A school dean → once a teacher → knows teachers’ struggles → makes sure to give correct and fair workload distribution)
Technical skills

Human skills
problem solving and creative thinking
Conceptual skills

(Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Reliable and Time-bound)
*Old approach
*Autocratic
*Hierarchical organizational structure
*Planning, organizing and controlling
*Outcomes depend on the leader (leader-dependent)
Classical Approach
*Participative (leadership rather than dictation)
*Formation of teams/committee
*Leading, motivating (thru incentives), and communicating
*Leader hears out suggestions from members
Behavioral Approach
*No prior planning (do it first → if problems arise → adapt)
*Adapting to changing circumstances
*Some situations may affect the organizational behavior
* Manipulate some variables to improve behavior (management styles, employee output, etc…)
Contingency Approach
(dictatorship)→ self-centered and leader usually gives orders and should be obeyed without questions (classical approach)
Autocratic
shared authority wherein the leader still gives orders but takes into consideration the inputs of his/her subordinates
Democratic
(laissez-faire) → wherein the leader is more lenient and permissive and allows the subordinates to make decisions and take responsibility.
o Not beneficial if subordinates/members is not good/ too good (no unity)
Permissive
focused on the role of every employees and organizational structures. (Each will be given a task and only focus on their given role)
Transactional
A network of computers that incorporate all the needs of the laboratory and its customers from intake of specimen and requests, processing of the different tests until the release of results.
