 Steps in the Management Process

Steps in management process at home

1. Planning - thinking of all possibilities that members of the family can
accomplish to realize the set goals. A simple way to plan is to make a list of all
the things that need to be done.
2. Organizing - the proper way of implementing activities and using resources to
achieve maximum efficiency without setbacks. Close coordination between
family members must be done and a definite person in the family must
supervise.
▪ Organizing means assembling resources and fixing responsibilities to carry
out a plan.
3. Implementing/Controlling - carrying out of the plans including the activities
and all the resources. This is called "from plan to action." Direct guidance and
monitoring must be made to avoid waste of energy and money. Controlling is
also known as putting a plan into action.
▪ You make adjustments as the plan is being carried out or implemented. You
change or control your activities so that your plan is not a failure. This is also
called flexibility.
4. Evaluating - checking and assessing whether the planned activities were

 Duties and Responsibilities of a Home Manager

Management – the art of managing.

Home – the place from which a person, thing, etc. comes originally.

Why is Home Management Important?

Other than cleaning your house, the idea of managing your home is
probably the furthest thing from your mind right now. Home management affects
most home owners when something goes wrong. However, home management is
also an essential element of improving your home. However, when you want to
improve your home, home management will help you. Home management is the
process of preserving, protecting, improving and maintaining your home. Although
most of us think of home management as maintenance, it is really the process of
making the most of your home.

✓ Preserving Your Home

Preservation means making something last, or keeping it alive. You
perform home preservation every time you clean your home. Painting adds
beauty to your home, but also and preserves the underlying materials. These are
only a few of the things you do today to preserve your home. Because homes are
becoming more complex and technically sophisticated, it can be difficult to know
what and how to preserve. Preservation also takes the form of beautification.
Painting your walls or exterior will define your home or interior living spaces. It
also protects your drywall

______________________________________________________________________________________________________
TLEHOM - HOME MANAGEMENT Page 7
✓ Protecting Your Home
Protection means defending or guarding against attack and shielding from
danger. There are a number of dangers your home encounters every day. As a
homeowner, you need to understand threats to your home and have the ability to
predict what the most common threats are likely to be and thwart them.

✓ Enhancing Your Home

Enhancing means raising something to a higher degree, intensifying and
magnifying. Enhancing your home is much the same. Few homeowners want to
live in the same home for a lifetime. By improving and enhancing your home, you
not only increase the livability of your home, but also increase its value over time.

What is The Best Way to Manage Your Home?

Homeowners wanting to manage their homes have two choices: manual or
automated. Manual management is the process of going it alone. If you are
knowledgeable about your home, its maintenance, this strategy might work for
you. An automated solution is clearly a better choice in terms of costs and
capabilities. In fact, an effective home management solution is a home owner's
most valuable asset.

MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS
“Concept “means an idea or theory.

"Home" is usually referred as a place of achieving peace, development and

satisfaction for an individual, with its management predominantly concerned
with the quality of human relationship. As soon as the family is established, all its
members start thinking and working together for common goals. This gives rise
to formulate a plan of action, delegate responsibility, organize and control the

______________________________________________________________________________________________________
TLEHOM - HOME MANAGEMENT Page 8
available resources to achieve the desired goals. In this context, management
becomes a means of using resources (what you have) for the attainment of family
goals (what you want). Thus, home management becomes an' essential
component of family living.

So home management now is a challenge to every home maker to achieve

development, happiness and peace at home and in the community.

MANAGEMENT PROCESS
What is Management Process?
Those processes which are performed by managers are called management
processes. Managers are commonly involved in planning, organizing, directing,
motivating, controlling and decision-making.

Decision making
▪ Decision making can be regarded as the cognitive process resulting in the
selection of a course of action among several alternative scenarios. Every
decision making process produces a final choice. The output can be an action
or an opinion of choice.
▪ Decision making is an essential leadership skill. If you can learn how to make
timely, well considered decisions, then you can lead

Importance of decision making in Home Management

Making decisions for efficient home management can be very difficult. It
could mean being firm even if it hurts the feelings of a family member, or even
depriving a family member or some privileges for the good of the rest.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________
TLEHOM - HOME MANAGEMENT Page 9
 Decisions are often made regarding the following matters at home:
Discipline
When our parents set rules regarding curfew, watching television on
weekdays, or going out with friends, they expect us to follow these rules. When
we deliberately disregard the rules, our parents have to impose sanctions. They
may decide to limit our privileges like prohibiting weekend meetings with your
friends or banning television for a certain period. Limits imposed by parents help
put a structure to our lives.

Prioritizing Expenses
The family expenses for a given period are generally classified into Needs
and Wants. Needs are expense items that the family members cannot do without.
Needs include food, housing, health maintenance, and education of the children.

Maximizing the use of available spaces

When living space is limited, decisions have to be made on who will share
sleeping and storage areas. It is ideal for parents to consult their children on this
matter to arrive at an arrangement that is acceptable to everyone.

Planning Meals.
With a limited budget for family expenses, it is important to be able to
decide on what food to serve the family. Homemakers should be guided by this
basic rule: buy foods that are high in nutritive value but are inexpensive.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________
TLEHOM - HOME MANAGEMENT Page 10
 Process of Decision Making
The Five-Step Decision Making Process

You can adapt the familiar five-step decision making process to decide which
program or service to assess.

➢ Identifying/clarifying the decision to be made.

▪ If the decision has not yet been isolated, it should be identified as a first step.
Sometimes the decision to be made will have been presented to the decision
maker. In those situations, Step 1 calls for the clarification of what the decision
actually entails.

➢ Identifying possible decision options.

▪ The next step requires the decision maker to spell out, as clearly as possible,
just what the decision alternatives really are. For instance, if one were
attempting to buy a bicycle, do the decision options only consist of the
different types of bicycles, or is another option to refrain from buying a
bicycle altogether?

➢ Gathering/processing information.
✓ Next, the decision maker collects or processes information that can help
guide the decision. If such information is already at hand, then it simply
needs to be processed; that is, studied and understood by the decision
maker. If there is no relevant information available, or if there is
insufficient information, then such information must be collected so it can
be processed. The more significant the decision, the more rigorous the
information-gathering process.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________
TLEHOM - HOME MANAGEMENT Page 11
➢ Making/implementing the decision.
✓ After the information has been considered according to its relevance and
significance, a decision based on that information should be made and,
thereafter, implemented.
➢ Evaluating the decision.
✓ In recognition of the fact that not all of one's decisions are likely to be
defensible, the final step in the five-step decision making process is to
determine whether the decision was appropriate. Ordinarily, this will be
done by ascertaining the decision's consequences.

Different Types of Decision

When deciding on the most suitable decision-making method, it is
important to consider that full participation is not required in every occasion.
You cannot expect in a group all decisions to be made by the entire group. It
would be an incredible waste of time! According to the type of decision, a group
might prefer different systems with more or less people involved.

Types of Decisions
➢ Strategic – relating to the identification of long-term or overall aims and
interests and the means of achieving them
➢ Organizational – relating to the way different aspects and parts of a group are
arranged with the aim of being more orderly and efficient
➢ Operational – relating to the way a group or organization works on a daily
basis
HOME MANAGER
What is a Home Manager?
A person who is in charge of the place from which a person, thing, etc.
comes originally.

 LESSON 2: FAMILY RESOURCES
Family
▪ is the most important primary group
▪ “a group defined by a sex relationship sufficiently precise and enduring to
provide for the procreation and upbringing of children”.
▪ According to Burgess and Locks “Family is a group of persons united by the
ties of marriage, blood or adoption; constituting a single household,
interacting and intercommunicating with each other in their respective
social roles of husband and wife, mother and father, son and daughter,
brother and sister creating a common culture”.
▪ The definition given by sumner and Keller is ‘Family is a miniature social
organization, including at least two generations and is characteristically
formed upon the blood bond’. Family is also defined as ‘a socially recognized
unit of people related to each other by kinship, marital and legal ties’.

What do we mean by FAMILY RESOURCES?

✓ This includes: Money things non-working members of the family may
possess energy, time, and skills.

Types of Family Resources

1. Human Resources ¬ Every able-bodied member of the family is considered an
important human resource. People who can contribute their time, effort, skills,
strength, and expertise is considered part of the family’s human resource.

✓ Capabilities, Intelligence, and Skills Every - person has his or her unique
ability and intelligence in a way that improves not only himself or herself

______________________________________________________________________________________________________
TLEHOM - HOME MANAGEMENT Page 13
 but also others. It is important to identify the talents and skills that each
person has and utilize them for the common good.

✓ Strength/Energy - The strength of a person does not only mean having good
health and strong body. It also means having emotional stability, mental
alertness, and having reasonable commitment and positive outlook in life,
especially in work that improves self and society. Strength is also needed to
accomplish tasks on time in order to play, entertain, and relax with the
family afterwards.

2. Material Resources – Tangible assets such as house and lot, furniture and
appliances, jewelry, automobiles, and cash are referred to as the family’s
material resources. Every family must invest wisely in material resources,
making sure that they consider quality, durability, and appreciation value
when choosing what to purchase. Real properties and jewelry increase in
value over time while the value of furniture, appliances, and automobiles
depreciate or go down as they get old and worn out.

3. Non-material Resources – Time, health, and experience are intangible

resources but are also important. Without non-material resources, family
members will be unable to perform their duties and responsibilities at home,
in school, and at work.

✓ Non-material Resources
Time – Is very important - it is the resource that cultivates cooperation,
fulfillment of the prescribed duties, and smart maintenance of homes. This
is used to start and finish the work without giving burden to the body or
resentment to the person.
Health – The health of family members is important. When family

______________________________________________________________________________________________________
TLEHOM - HOME MANAGEMENT Page 14
 members are in good health, they can do their duties without delay.
Experience – The more experience a family member has, the more likely he
or she will get hired and be paid a good amount for his or her services. So,
job or work experience is an important non-material resource to have.
Time /Energy management – There are some tasks that require only little
time and energy to accomplish. Take these things into consideration when
scheduling activities. Household activities should be managed properly to
lessen unnecessary labor and help speed up work and reduce stress.

• Skills and interests of family members. Allow members of the family to express
their preferred task according to their interests and skills. Rotation of tasks can
be implemented on a weekly or bimonthly basis.
• Consider the health, age, and abilities of each member.
• Assign tasks based on the availability of the members.
• Coordination among all the family members for the improvement of family
resources to ensure attainment of all goals.

Importance of Proper Time/Energy Management

✓ Promotes harmony and security.
✓ Allows more time for leisurely activities.
✓ Opens opportunities for constructive activities such as organizing
worthwhile projects.
✓ Tasks are completed according to schedule.

Family resources
It is also the process that family can use to cope with difficult situations;
include the following resources:

______________________________________________________________________________________________________
TLEHOM - HOME MANAGEMENT Page 15
 ✓ Social resources - strong social support network which may include spouse,
children, parents, siblings, neighbors, co-workers and others
✓ Cultural resources - cultural values which can influence an individual or
family's ability to care for the sick and cope with stress e.g. optimism,
familialism, approach vs avoidance style, etc.
✓ Religious resources - spiritual beliefs, practices and support services
✓ Economic resources - family's income and savings
✓ Educational resources - level of formal education attained by an individual
which allows him to understand the patient's condition and give him
appropriate care
✓ Medical resources - accessibility to medical facilities and adequacy of help
from healthcare providers

These resources will be measured by the use of SCREEM-RES, a newly

developed family resources questionnaire developed by the staff of the section of
Supportive Palliative Hospice Medicine of the University of the
Philippines-Philippine General Hospital.
➢ Caregiver strain - physical, personal, emotional and financial stress
incurred by a caregiver as a result of, or in relation to, his/her caregiving
role/s. This will be measured by the Modified Caregiver strain index
➢ Family function - measures the extent to which a family works as a unit; it
denotes the family's ability to cope and adjust to different situations based
on 5 components: adaptation, partnership, growth, affection and resolve;
the Filipino Family APGAR will be used to measure this.
