Roles
There are specific roles for staff at chesterfield college FC, this is to make the running of the club smooth and well run. It gives people certain jobs and gives them a role of what they need to do within the club. If each person has a specific duty then this means that the jobs that are needed to be done are delagated to them and it is there responsibilty to get it done. If different jobs are delegated to different people and each person knows there roles then the club will run correctly and be succsefully run as each job that needs to be done is getting completed. There are 3 main people in the running of chesterfield college FC. These people are neil cluxton, dave rushbury and carl vickers.
Neil cluxton - Neil cluxton is first team manager of the squad. He is also head coach and picks what players go into each of his squads. His role is to coach the players and win games for chesterfield college fc. With this role he also has other responsibilities such as organising the fixtures for the club home and away and also trying to promote the club. He is seen as the leader and the person the players should look upto as a rolemodel. "A role model is someone who other individuals aspire to be like, either in the present or in the future" (Business dictionary, 2011)
Dave rushbury - Again dave rushbury is another important role model for the players. He runs the reserve team, this involves picking the starting 11 and coaching them throughout the game. Other responsibilities that dave has took on his being the physio for the side. The players come to dave with any injurys they may have hoping dave can give them advice on how recover from the injury. Having a physiotherapist at the club is a great advantage as it helps the club be fully fit and reduces costs if theres already a physio within the club.
Carl vickers - Carls role within the club is to take on training sessions and warm ups before games. Hes needs to get the players motivated and prepared for games. This is an important role as he can play a big part in preventing injurys by making sure everyone warms up correctly but also getting them motivated an determined to win the game. Carl is another role model as he coaches the players and coaches them on how they can improve as players.
Other roles in the club are taken on by myself as a volunteer and also through other staff such as security guards. Security guards are first aid trained and ready prepared for an unforeseen accidents. They also make sure changing rooms are looked after an there are no issues with thieves. There responsibilities include keeping the safety of the players. As a volunteer myself i help with the running of the club where i can, for example getting equipment ready, helping with coaching sessions and matches also preparing kits and water bottles for the players.
" The formal roles of members of an organisation will usually be set out in an organisational chart which sets out the span of control of the various levels of supervision. The informal roles that people play are less easy to map out but are also very important " ( The times, 100)
Organisational theory
What is organisational theory?
Organisational theory is " A Study of organizational designs and organizational structures, relationship of organizations with their external environment, and the behavior of managers and technocrats within organizations. It suggests ways in which an organization can cope with rapid change".
The organisation theory is broken down into 4 different areas. Each area explains the effects on a business and highlights areas which could be improved or what could be a threat on the business. These four areas include : . Physical structure
. Social Hierachy
. Culture achievement + process
. Technology
Physical structure
The physical structure put in place for chesterfield college FC is definetely one of its strengths. It is based at the clowne college campus which is a recently built modern buliding. The benefits this modern building includes are not only its looks but its upto date facilties it contains. With two astro turfs, football pitches, home and away changing rooms, indoor sportshall and disabled access throughout the college the physical structure is a big strength of chesterfield college. The benefits of having a good physical structure include the attraction it has towards getting students to want to come to chesterfield college as there first choice because of the facilties it contains. Also having a good physical structure should give students the tools to reach there full potential benefiting the college with even better results.
Technology
Chesterfield college FC has began to use modern day technology to its advantage. With the recent help of volunteers its allowed the club to do detailed match reports of the fixtures and they have been able to email these reports to local newspapers. Before this was a harder task as letters may have been sent and not emails affecting the time process of when the reports may have been published. Also video technology is being used to show highlights of the fixtures and views of the players. This technology we are hoping to upload to the college website which will help raise the profile of the club. Technolgy has become an important area for the club as it allows the club to gain more awareness and improve what they can do with the club
Social Hierachy
Social hierachy is how the employees are structured within the company or organisation. This can be key to how well the company is run and to how succsesful it could be. Chesterfield college is goverment ran and its structured in a organsied way. The club is structured with the first team manager at the top (Neil) acting as the leader, then below Dave rushberry as reserve team coach and lecturer then leading to carl vickers as fitness coach and lecturer. After this comes other members such as the volunteers and security guards. The benefits of having a social hierachy are that each person will know their own role and responsibility. Therefore each responsibility is covered and done by a specific person but the disadvantages to this system can be that if someone was to leave the hierachy or be sick then its leaves a gap where there roles and responsibilties were. If this was to happen a higher person in the hierachy would need to be informed so the gap could be filled. The problem could be that they arent informed quick enough so roles are not done or that they dont have the volume of staff to cover for this position.
Achievement culture
Achievement culture is where you are rewarded for achieving goals and doing well. In terms of what this means for chesterfield college football club is that if the team does well and wins trophies then this can lead to more media awareness giving more funding towards the football club. But also this can link in with the college. If students do well in exams and achieve good grades this can lead to extra goverment funding and positive awareness of the college.
Process culture
Process culture impacts on how the organisation is run in terms of the impacts laws and legislations may have on the organisation. For example Chesterfield college FC must adhere to laws and legislations such as health and safety. This can impact on what the organisation can do and sets the rules as to how they should run as an organisation.
