Introduction to Critical Analysis
With the expansion of the societies immensely in Australia, the nonprofit organizations are constantly paying attention to their beliefs in today's social environments as the basis on which they enact their social objectives. Today, almost no organization, whether public find oriented, based on social issues, environmentally oriented, or concerned with some other aspect of society, such as creativity, protection, fairness or any other value, does not mention its core values that governs basic business operations (Malbašić & Posarić, 2017).
Values are so profoundly rooted in individuals that they are implied in organizational behavior instead of being seen commonly, and people may add that values are also deeply rooted in organizations in the same way as they are in the hearts and minds of common people (Malbašić & Posarić, 2017). What individuals can see are beliefs, perceptions, preferences, fears and habits. In private life and in the workplace, principles dictate human behavior. Through their beliefs, individuals come to the organization and thereby form organizational values. It can also be defined that organizational values as the core principles that decide the way business is done by the corporation (Malbašić & Posarić, 2017).
The following is an analysis of the nonprofit organizations which are driven from public sector and has a record of showing excellent social works in various dimensions like eliminating poverty and helping the community in the time of crisis. The selected organizations are Salvation Army Australia, Red Cross Australia and Society of Saint Vincent De Paul.
Critical Analysis of the Chosen Organizations: Holistic Overview
In the context of the chosen organizations, there are basic similarities in their functional operations. At first, all three of them are actively engaged in the field of social work. Their basic objective is to identify and understand the gaps in creation of social harmony. In fact, the soities are structured with different values and norms; the differences of classes and races always exist in them and it widens the gap between the harmony and pace that is desirable. At that point of time, the NGOs like the three selected for this analysis intervene and function positively. All of the three mentioned in the analysis are the organizations that have justified their position in terms of excelling the area of social practices (Malbašić & Posarić, 2017).
The organizational value, in the context of the same, also needs emphasis. When there are stakeholders involved, it becomes necessary for the organizations to review their policies and strategic approach so that they can sustain and stabilize their long and short term goals (Malbašić & Posarić, 2017). It is more like aligning the organizational work culture with the current trends and practices of the market (Malbašić & Posarić, 2017). Though the term ‘market’ is not applicable over the organization, it simply adds to the work criteria in which, Salvation Army, The Society of St. Vincent de Paul and the Red Cross Australia has worked so far. Their approach is fair as well as there is a clarity in their approach to achieve what core essence of organizational working anticipates from them (Malbašić & Posarić, 2017).
Additionally, in order to bring in clarity of work, the three organizations selected have specific and professional managerial structure (Veinhardt, et al, 2016). It requires no external review or feedback due to the fact that the organizations have developed their own specific revie system; they are governed by the international, national and regional councils of religion that have exclusive command over their work. There is a professional collaboration of the managerial structure of all three as well as the religious assumptions are well intact (Veinhardt et al, 2016). In a nutshell, the work ethics, organizational culture, approach to the common issues of people as well as support to the alleviation of common standards of living are some of the core values engrained in the work culture of all three and it makes then some of the best organizations in the world that have proved their excellence over the course of time.
Salvation Army Australia
Mission, Vision and Value
The origins of the Salvation Army date back to July 2, 1865, when a Methodist preacher started a job before the end of the 19th century in East London that would encircle the country. It originated as the Christian Revival Society and was renamed the East London Christian Mission soon afterwards. Since then, the nonprofit organization has worked to alleviate the social status of the poor, bringing justice to the rights hands—it is their mission statement as well—as well as to ensure that racial disparities are eliminated from society (The Salvation Army, 2018). The organization works with a mission to avoid language barriers so that people of all communities with different speaking languages may come together. It is a religious organization that perceives Jesus as their guiding light to do right things (The Salvation Army, 2018). There are three main objectives of the organization over which, the entire functional operations are based. These are caring, creating and building. In the caring section, the organizations seek to provide as much assistance to the poor as possible by making resources available to them. It implies the term ‘transformative potential’ as something which can be decisive in the...
