New patterns for organizing human services.

Abstract

Matrix organization theory is proposed as a vehicle for reorganizing human services delivery systems. A private psychiatric hospital situation is used to illustrate the application of these concepts. Similarities and differences with larger systems are considered, and implications are drawn for managing human services professions in different-sized systems when a matrix structural arrangement is employed.
