3ISSUES IN HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICE MANAGEMENT
Introduction
It is required for a manager of health and human service management to understand the
different issues associated with the field while using effective ethical, legal and theoretical
framework and analyze the issue to introduce adequate strategies to resolve it effectively
(McPherson & Pincus, 2017). The following paper will discuss the importance of using ethical,
legal and theoretical frameworks to analyze and understand an issue and identify a specific issue
and effective process to mitigate it.
Multiple theoretical perspective to understand issue
In order to resolve an issue it is required to understand the contributing factors to
implement effective strategies to address the factors and resolve the issue effectively. Theoretical
perspectives are considered as the set of assumptions that helps to answer a question to derive
result. Using a single theoretical framework limited the analysis of the issue to a specific idea,
whereas multiple theoretical frame work helps to understand the issue from different
perspectives thus, ensures appropriate analysis of the issue and facilitate the way of
implementing strategies based on the ideas of different theories (Mirzoeff, 2014). Hence, it is
important to use multiple theoretical perspectives to maximize the way of introducing a range of
ideas to solve an issue.
Ethical and legal decision making processes
Ethical and legal decision making processes is a complex process that is used to analyze
the actions taken for individual or for an organization. The standard of ethical decision making
provides the guidelines in order to choose a decision or action that is favorable for individual
while excluding the bad or harmful choices that are not acceptable. Hence considering the ethical

standards during decision making is one of the most important criteria that should be maintained
by individual in order to take reasonable actions according to a situation which is acceptable for
all (Campbell, 2016).
Impact of one’s own value on action
Everyone has their own values and beliefs that develops based on their surroundings. It
develops over time and reflects our background such as culture, friends, family and experiences.
However, there are some problems in allowing the personal values of people to influence their
action (Fullan, 2014). One of the major issue with personal values is that it influence people to
ignore the information that are inconsistent with a particular situation and make decisions based
on one’s preexisting beliefs, thus reduces the ability to work professionally (Marcus, MacDonald
& Sulsky, 2015). Thus, it is important to reflect on one’s personal vales to understand oneself
better and identify the significant incidents where personal perceptions cannot be applied to
make decisions.
Health and human service issue
In case of health and human service management the manager faces different issues.
Among them depression of the employees is one of the most significant issue that impact on both
the productivity and service of the organization. The poor mental health of employees impact on
their performance effectively and depression has been identified as the one of the major mental
health issue of the employees that may be caused due to excessive work pressure, departure or
death of relatives or other traumatic events and affect the performance of the employees
(Nabipour et al., 2015). Hence, it has become one of the major issues in health and human
service management and requires effective strategies to resolve the issue.
