TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION

I. Nature of Organization and Administrative

1. Why study administration? What is Total Quality Management?

Students might logically wonder why they should study administration. Most students are probably more concerned about finding a position in the immediate future than about envisioning administrative responsibilities. Administration must be studied because it source as the backbone of an organization. It helps individual to have broader knowledge on how to have an effective administration as an asset to an organization. It should also be studied because its functions to an organization is very important because it links between an organization's various departments and ensures the smooth flow of information from one part to the other. Thus without an effective administration, an organization would not run professionally and smoothly.

Total Quality Management (TQM) is a process of continuous improvement that is focused on responding to customers needs, basing decisions on data, and allowing everyone to participate in the process. TQM is based on 14 principles, which, in order to work require a critical mass of employees who understand and support the principles. Some of the key elements that drive the TQM process are emphasis on teamwork and investing in ongoing training for all employees.

4. Defend that Management is both Art and Science.

First and foremost lets define Art. Art refers to the way of doing specific things and it indicates how an object can be achieved. According to George R. Terry, "Art is bringing about of a desired result through the application of skill." Art is, thus, skilful application of knowledge which entirely depends on the inherent capacity of a person which comes from within a person and is learned from practice and experience. In this sense, management is certainly an art as a manager uses his skill, knowledge and experience in solving various problems. So Management is an art, for each one of us has the capability and inherited characteristics of knowing how to manage specific works, organizing things and facilitating matters not just in the field of work but also in his own life.Management as a Science, Science may be described as a systematized body of knowledge based on proper findings and exact principles and is capable of verification. It is a reservoir of fundamental truths and its findings apply safely in all the situations. In this sense, management is a science as it has also developed some systematized knowledge. Like other sciences, management has also developed certain principles, laws, generalizations, which are universal in nature and are applicable wherever the efforts of the people are to be coordinated. Thus, Management as a science is unlike other sciences that deals with accuracy to things and problems, for Management requires proper knowledge and skills which is unpredictable.

5. What are the Fourteen Principles of Total Quality Management? The Fourteen Principles of Total Quality Management is the core concept on implementing total quality management, it is a set of management practices to help companies increase their quality and productivity, here are the fourteen principles as follows:

1. Create constancy of purpose toward improvement of product and service, with the aim to become competitive and to stay in business, and to provide jobs.2. Adopt the new philosophy. We are in a new economic age. Western management must awaken to the challenge, must learn their responsibilities, and take on leadership for change.3. Cease dependence on inspection to achieve quality. Eliminate the need for inspection on a mass basis by building quality into the product in the first place.4. End the practice of awarding business on the basis of price tag. Instead, minimize total cost. Move toward a single supplier for any one item, on a long-term relationship of loyalty and trust.5. Improve constantly and forever the system of production and service, to improve quality and productivity, and thus constantly decrease costs.6. Institute training on the job.7. Institute leadership. The aim of supervision should be to help people and machines and gadgets to do a better job. Supervision of management is in need of overhaul, as well as supervision of production workers.8. Drive out fear, so that everyone may work effectively for the company (see Ch. 3).9. Break down barriers between departments. People in research, design, sales, and production must work as a team, to foresee problems of production and in use that may be encountered with the product or service.10. Eliminate slogans, exhortations, and targets for the work force asking for zero defects and new levels of productivity. Such exhortations only create adversarial relationships, as the bulk of the causes of low quality and low productivity belong to the system and thus lie beyond the power of the work force.

Eliminate work standards (quotas) on the factory floor. Substitute leadership. Eliminate management by objective. Eliminate management by numbers, numerical goals. Substitute leadership.

11. Remove barriers that rob the hourly worker of his right to pride of workmanship. The responsibility of supervisors must be changed from sheer numbers to quality.12. Remove barriers that rob people in management and in engineering of their right to pride of workmanship. This means, inter alia, abolishment of the annual or merit rating and of management by objective (see Ch. 3).13. Institute a vigorous program of education and self-improvement.14. Put everybody in the company to work to accomplish the transformation. The transformation is everybody's job.

II. Philosophy and Management1. Ethics is teaching what is right or wrong, defend your personal assessment on: (Schematic form) Beliefs Values Principles Actions2. What is your management philosophy? How do you envision a Physical Education Program being run?

My management philosophy is Working towards Maximum Efficiency. This philosophy shall determine my goals and objectives to be achieved in a less possible time. I will ensure that the things I should do is ready from the pitfalls or the downfalls of my organization or business. I must plan first and find strategies and techniques to keep my company stable and constant in good condition.

I envisioned a Physical Program being run by following certain plans, goals and objectives with proper administration. It has certain management philosophies that have been followed, proper organizing and administering of future goals and missions needed to be achieve in a less possible time. I envisioned it run by not just one organization but with many committees with different functions each committee has to work with. Most especially it should be run by people who have the qualities and skills of effective and efficient leaders.

3. Explain the basis for philosophy of management and its implication to Physical Education.The basis for philosophy of management can help in optimizing or organizing roles, duties, and the goals of Physical Education by following its philosophy towards work and how one can manage his/her company, his people and how he can achieve or accomplish his/her work on the shortest possible of time and since Physical Education is "education through the physical". It aims to develop students physical competence and knowledge of movement and safety, and their ability to use these to perform in a wide range of activities associated with the development of an active and healthy lifestyle. Your management philosophy can help and guide you to promote and accomplished the goals and objectives of the latter.4. Make your reaction.

The study of management particularly its philosophy can really help in Physical Education. For example, the students who will later join in the work force will now have its guide on how to promote its specific field or work, throught the philosophy of management, students, coaches and even Physical Education Teachers can facilitate, organize having in mind the management philosophy as his armor or guide, because the Philosophy of Management can be essential part of any group activity. It is needed whenever people worktogether in an oranization. Intodays competitive environment, thequality and performance of the management determinet he success of organization.

III. Functions of Management and Administrative Skills1. Define and explain the following:The management functions of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling are widely considered to be the best means of describing the managers job, as well as the best way to classify accumulated knowledge about the study of management. Although there have been tremendous changes in the environment faced by managers and the tools used by managers to perform their roles, managers still perform these essential functions.

PlanningIt includes setting goals and defining the actions necessary to achieve the goals, in light of situation.

That is the situation must be analyzed and understood and the appropriate goal(s) and actions must be determined in order to take advantage of opportunities and/or to solve problems. While top-level managers establish overall goals and strategy, managers throughout the organization must develop goals, strategy, and operational plans for their work groups that contribute to the success of the organization as a whole. In addition, they must develop a plan for administering and coordinating the resources for which they are responsible so that the goals of their work groups can be achieved.

OrganizingOrganizing is the function of management that involves developing an organizational structure and allocating human resources to ensure the accomplishment of objectives. The structure of the organization is the framework within which effort is coordinated. The structure is usually represented by an organization chart, which provides a graphic representation of the chain of command within an organization. Decisions made about the structure of an organization are generally referred to as organizational design decisions.

Organizing also involves the design of individual jobs within the organization. Decisions must be made about the duties and responsibilities of individual jobs, as well as the manner in which the duties should be carried out. Decisions made about the nature of jobs within the organization are generally called job design decisions. Organizing at the level of the organization involves deciding how best to departmentalize, or cluster, jobs into departments to coordinate effort effectively. There are many different ways to departmentalize, including organizing by function, product, geography, or customer. Many larger organizations use multiple methods of departmentalization. LeadingLeading involves the social and informal sources of influence that you use to inspire action taken by others. If managers are effective leaders, their subordinates will be enthusiastic about exerting effort to attain organizational objectives.

To become effective at leading, managers must first understand their subordinates personalities, values, attitudes, and emotions. This goes beyond simply managing tasks; rather, it involves communicating, motivating, inspiring, and encouraging employees towards a higher level of productivity. Not all managers are leaders. An employee will follow the directions of a manager because they have to, but an employee will voluntarily follow the directions of a leader because they believe in who he or she is as a person, what he or she stands for, and for the manner in which they are inspired by the leader.

Controlling Controlling involves ensuring that performance does not deviate from standards. This function does not imply that managers should attempt to control or to manipulate the personalities, values, attitudes, or emotions of their subordinates. Instead, this function of management concerns the managers role in taking necessary actions to ensure that the work-related activities of subordinates are consistent with and contributing toward the accomplishment of organizational and departmental objectives. Effective controlling requires the existence of plans, since planning provides the necessary performance standards or objectives. Controlling also requires a clear understanding of where responsibility for deviations from standards lies.2. Identify the essential administrative skills for sports management according to Katz and Stier.

Robert Katz identified three administrative skills which are essential to successful management: the technical, human, and conceptual.

Technical skillTechnical skill involves process or technique knowledge and proficiency. Managers use the processes, techniques and tools of a specific area.

Human skill Human skill involves the ability to interact effectively with people. Managers interact and cooperate with employees.

Conceptual skillConceptual skill involves the formulation of ideas. Managers understand abstract relationships, develop ideas, and solve problems creatively.

Thus, technical skill deals with things, human skill concerns people, and conceptual skill has to do with ideas.

3. Can managerial skills and competencies be taught and learned? Make your reaction.

Yes, managerial skills can be taught and learned, since management is an art and a science, so every individual can learn these managerial skills. The Technical skill, which can also be taught because of its process or technique, one may be able to follow its process, techniques and tools of specific area. On the Conceptual skill, it can also be learned since each of us has its own way or technique of developing or solving ideas creatively by their own. And lastly the human skill, these skills can be taught since each of us has his/her inborn capability of interacting effectively with other people.IV. Budgeting and Sound Financial Management1. The Budget:

Definition: A budget is a quantitative expression of a plan for a defined period of time. It may include planned sales volumes and revenues, resource quantities, costs and expenses, assets, liabilities and cash flows. It expresses strategic plans of business units, organizations, activities or events in measurable terms. Types: Multi level Standards BudgetThis is a simple procedure that consists of new budgets based on the following.1. Amounts of expenditures based on the same as the on the previous year.2. Amounts of expenditures based on the sameas last year, but increased for inflation.3. Amounts of expenditures based on the same as the on the previous year, increased for inflation and for new increases for approved new programs or services.

Index BudgetingThis form of budgeting is mandated in some states or school systems in which ceilings are established for spending. Frequently this system will be established from a set of year as a base to limit increases to the rate of inflation and population. PPBESAn example of program or performance budgeting is PPBS, planning, programming, budgeting, system which became PPBES when the function of evaluation was added. PPBES was a formal attempt to couple strategic planning with programming and budgeting into a single system.

Zero based BudgetingThe basic concept of zero budgeting is that organizationas or programs must justify their entire fiscal request, not just the increases. In standard budgetting, and organization simply takes the previous budget and requests increases for new or expanded aspects, along with an inflaton figure. Fund BudgetingServes as an important internal accounting function but is most useful in presenting financial reports to higher authorities, such as school boards or athletic councils. Purposes: Budget helps to aid the planning of actual operations by forcing managers to consider how the conditions might change and what steps should be taken now and by encouraging managers to consider problems before they arise. It also helps co-ordinate the activities of the organization by compelling managers to examine relationships between their own operation and those of other departments. Other essentials of budget include: To control resources To communicate plans to various responsibility center managers. To motivate managers to strive to achieve budget goals. To evaluate the performance of managers To provide visibility into the company's performance For accountabilityFunctions:Budgets serve a number of useful functions. They include: PlanningThe major planning decisions will already have been made as part of the long-term planning process. The budgeting process ensures that managers do plan for future operations, and that they consider how conditions in the next year might change and what steps they should take now to respond to these changed conditions. This process encourages managers to anticipate problems before they arise, and to respond to changing conditions with reasoned judgment, instead of making hasty decisions that are based on expediency.

CoordinationThe budget serves as a vehicle through which the actions of the different parts of an organization can be brought together and reconciled into a common plan. Without any guidance, managers may each make their own decisions, believing that they are working in the best interests of the organization.

CommunicationIf an organization is to function effectively, there must be definite lines of communication so that all the parts will be kept fully informed of the plans and the policies, and constraints, to which the organization is expected to conform. Everyone in the organization should have a clear understanding of the part they are expected to play in achieving the annual budget. This process will ensure that the appropriate individuals are made accountable for implementing the budget. Through the budget, top management communicates its expectations to lower level management, so that all members of the organization may understand these expectations and can coordinate their activities to attain them. It is not just the budget itself that facilitates communication - much vital information is communicated in the actual act of preparing it.

MotivationThe budget can be a useful device for influencing managerial behaviour and motivating managers to perform in line with the organizational objectives. A budget provides a standard that under the right circumstances, a manager will be motivated to strive to achieve. However, budgets can also encourage inefficiency and conflict between managers. If individuals have actively participated in preparing the budget, and it is used as a tool to assist managers in managing their departments, it can act as a strong motivational device by providing a challenge. However, if the budget is dictated from above, and imposes a threat rather than a challenge, it may be resisted and do more harm than good.

ControlA budget assists managers in managing and controlling the activities for which they are responsible. By comparing the actual results with the budgeted amounts for different categories of expenses, managers can identify costs which do not conform to the original plan and thus require their attention. This process enables management to operate a system of management by exception which means that a manager's attention and effort can be concentrated on significant deviations from the expected results.

Performance evaluation

A manager's performance is often evaluated by measuring his or her success in meeting the budgets. In some companies bonuses are awarded on the basis of an employee's ability to achieve the targets specified in the periodic budgets, or promotion may be partly dependent upon a manager's budget record. In addition, the manager may wish to evaluate his or her own performance. The budget thus provides a useful means of informing managers of how well they are performing in meeting targets that they have previously helped to set.

2. Financial ManagementDefinition:Financial Management means planning, organizing, directing and controlling the financial activities such as procurement and utilization of funds of the enterprise. It means applying general management principles to financial resources of the enterprise.Purposes: To ensure regular and adequate supply of funds to the concern. To ensure adequate returns to the shareholders which will depend upon the earning capacity, market price of the share, expectations of the shareholders. To ensure optimum funds utilization. Once the funds are procured, they should be utilized in maximum possible way at least cost. To ensure safety on investment, i.e., funds should be invested in safe ventures so that adequate rate of return can be achieved. To plan a sound capital structure-There should be sound and fair composition of capital so that a balance is maintained between debt and equity capital.Accountabilities:Accountability in fiscal terms means that people are responsible for some activity involving money. They must provide evidence of appropriate care as conservatoers, which is now taken to iclude wise use of all resources. It describes the practice of good business principles, when handling money. At broader levels, accountability has come to mean wise use of all resources purchased by the district. This includes accounting function, but it also includes the dec ision-making process by which funds are spent and the outcomes resulting from such expenditures.

3. Explain and defend the importance of effective budgeting for sports organizations.Budgeting in sports organizations is important most especially because through effective budgeting the probable revenues and costs of the Physical education activities or programs can be organize or associated with providing coaching, clothing, competition and fixtures. Effective budgeting also allows the sports organizers to create a spending plan for money, it ensures that your facilitated or organized sports organization will always have enough money for the things needed and the things that are important. Following a budget or spending plan will also keep the sports organization or any other organizations out of debt.4. How effective managers retain control over their budget and financial decisions.Here are the strategies for maintaining control on budget and in financial decisions: Continually forecast the budget. Regularly forecast resource usage. Managers should review the number of people currently working on a project and the project's future resource needs on a weekly basis . Doing so will ensure that you're fully utilizing the resources you have and that you have the right resources ready for the rest of the project. Regularly revisiting the resource forecast will help keep your project budget on track. Keep the team informed. Always keep the project team informed of the project budget forecast. An informed team is an empowered team that takes ownership of the project. By keeping the team informed of the budget status, they will be more likely to watch their project charges and far less likely to charge extra 'gray area' hours to your project (those are the hours that they know they worked by aren't sure what they were working on.) Manage scope meticulously. Managers must carefully manage scope by creating change orders for work that isn't covered by the project's initial requirements. Change orders authorize additional funding for the project to cover the cost of extra work, and thus keep the project to its new budget. V. Facility Management and Maintenance1. Responsibilities of of sports employees2. Is periodic audit of facilities essential in terms of maintenance and managing? Support your answer.Yes, beacause through this audits the proper allocatement and the circulation of facilities inside and outside the sports room be monitored.3. Enumerate the essentials of good facilities. There will be absence of injuries and accidents The Games will run smoothly throughout4. Common problems associated with facilities.A tennis court must be well alocated or ventilated to avoid the layers being hit by stones and other hazardous objects.For examples, the Swimming pools, it must be properly organized, because there is an instance that a lifeguard had been electrocuted because the lights are turned on as he climbed the ladder on the pool.Basketball courts that too close together can also cause great injury to to the players.

5. Explain the importance of having appropriate management and maintenance of indoor and outdoor facilities.It must be important to coordinate with the proper use of sports facilities to avoid accidents and serious accidents. You must provide rules and techniques as well as the rules be established, communicated and understood.

VI. Designing Management in Physical Education and Sports1. What is all about designing that create Physical Education and Sport exciting? How should I manage Physical Education and Sports events as if Im doing my own business? Defend your own answer based on implications of management.Its all about the activities and sports each students or athletes will be engaged to that made them excited in any field activities or in Physical Education that strengthens their skills and capabilities. If I am doing my own bussines in Physical Education, I will follow the specific managing techniques and my philosophy in management as my guide in organizing and facilitating such activities.2. As a Physical Education teacher how will could you adress a gay/lesbian, bullying, and physically incapable students.As a Physical Education teacher I will let all the students participate in any class discussions and activities involving their skills. As for the gay/lesbian students, bullies and incapable students I will interact with them as the same as I interact with other students with preference of what they know and what they can do. So that their will be diversity in my classroom.VII. Law, Risk Management in Physical Education and Sports
