Bankstown Multicultural Youth Services (BMYS)
Description of the framework of analysis
Bankstown Multicultural Youth Services (BMYS) is a not-for-profit and non-Government organisation (NGO). This analysis will consider the Weber’s theory of bureaucracy because BMYS possesses some characteristics that are relevant to the theory such as the hierarchy in structure, power and authority, a certain degree of division of labour/specialisation (Gardner, 2016).
The contingency theory of organisational structure would be applicable to BMYS as it refers to the challenges faced by the change within the organisation and the adaptation phase (Donaldson, 2006). In addition, the system theory would be useful in understanding how the systems and subsystems interact both internally and externally in BMYS (Mele, Pels & Polese, 2010). The human services organisation is constantly interacting with an external environment including the service users, the community and the Government. Thus, the system theory will support the understanding of the external impact (along with the internal component) on BMYS’s service delivery.
