You are the new general manager of a municipal recreational facility in your current community. There have been numerous problems in the past, especially as related to not meeting goals and objectives and not reacting efficiently to changes in the environment. You need to evaluate organizational effectiveness and have decided to analyze the numerous models that have been developed to help sport facilities measure organizational effectiveness based on the varying levels of environmental and organizational attributes. Choose one model (or multiple if you see fit) and discuss how you would implement that model into your organization.

There are always a number of models that can be used for organizational structures when
becoming a new General Manager of a recreational facility. But the one I would use in this case
when it comes to meeting future goals and objectives is the Matrix Model. There are two reasons
why this model would work, and they are as follows. First and foremost, this model would work
because it would allow people from different functional areas such as the marketing and IT
departments to work on certain projects together. This would also allow workers from different
departments to have a better understanding of what the other department also do, and they would
understand each other better. In this way there would be more unity and would allow the
workflow to be a lot easier. Not only that but according to K. Leonard of the Small Business
Chronicles “Managers oversee the department leads within their own team while they keep a
pulse on their teams as a whole. This allows for the managers to combine resources that
individual teams might now see in their own microcosm of the project” (Leonard, 2018). The
Matrix Model would be effective because all the progress of the project would be tracked. Not
only this but when it comes to resources this could also be combined from multiple departments
and would also strengthen the teamwork of everyone in the facility as a whole. This would make
it so that all employees and management would be working at their highest capacity which
would in turn make a higher success rate. But this is not the only model that I would implement
into this, there is another.
The second model that I would implement into this facility is called the Organizational
Model and this concerns breaking the organization into departments based on their function as a
whole within the facility. According to an article in Upcounsel “A functional structure is a
structure used to organize workers. They are grouped based on their specific skills and
knowledge. This vertically structures each department with roles and objectives all the way

president down to the sales departments”. The reason I would implement this model within the
facility is because each department would have their own manager, and this would assuredly help
control the quality and uniformity of all employees within a specific department. But not only
this but following the directions of a competent manager would definitely help aid in
productivity being high. Also, within this model it lays out the roles and responsibilities very
thoroughly which in essence means that there is accountability for the work. Not only this but
because this model groups employees based in their skills and knowledge, this would allow the
team to work more productively and be more cooperative. Because one of the biggest problems
within a sports facility is lack of communication or very unclear communication and this is
where the model is most helpful because it allows communication to be frictionless. This is clear
because of the hierarchy within the facility and the reduction of communication channels.
It is because of these two models which would be implemented within the nest few
months to a year that the facility would run more smoothly and also reduce the chances of
problems related to not meeting goals and objectives. Because these are two new models that the
facility is not used to they would be implemented slowly at first as I have said before until all
departments and employees understand and can put into full effect the changes that they would
need to make. This will be introduced into each department one at a time and will not be moved
forward to any other department until each can put the models into full effect. The departments
would be made to understand from beginning to end that they would be held accountable, and
this will be made absolutely clear with the department managers that are put into place. Because
both of these models’ emphasis communication it will be made clear that this would be the
managers most important job because without proper communication the facilities goals and
objectives will never be met. These models would also place value on each person in the

organization which would also make it so the goals and objective are met more effectively and
also at a better and higher rate.
These two models which I have mentioned would be the best ones to use within this
facility especially when it comes to meeting goals and objectives. They may take some time to
implement but the end result would be worth the time that is being put in. If these models are
followed as they are drawn out this should solve the whole problem that this facility is having
and make it a more productive facility.
