TASK 11.1 Theories of leadership and managementScientific Theory: The theory was proposed by F.W Taylor that mainly focuses on analyses andsynthesizes workflows. The primary objective of this theory is to improve overall efficiency andproductivity of labours. However, this can only be possible every task became specialised anddiscrete. Therefore, Taylor emphasize on classifying the task or activities into smaller section sothat chances of accomplishing it in an effective manner increases promptly. NHS is providingspecial services to its employees that leads to improve their overall productivity. It is a kind ofrational approach which enables company to carried out task and measures systematically. Thistheory also contributes to major improvement in physical working condition of employees. Human Relation Theory: The theory was proposed by Elton Mayo's and it signifies that themost influencing factor that exist in workplace and influence employee productivity arerelationships that has been shared by all workers in an organisation. The researchers realized thatworker's productivity increases due to their relationship shared among other co-workers.Therefore, it is chiefly important for an organisation to encourage open and healthy workingenvironment that encourage employees to work incredibly hard (Colcleugh, 2013). With positiveand friendly working environment workers can build great rapport with each other.

Contingency Theory: The theory defines that managers make decision based on the currentsituation prevailing in the company instead of “one size fits all” method. Managers takesappropriate decision or action based on aspects most that is most important as per the currentsituation. Moreover under this theory, employees are involved in decision making process i.e.encouraging them to participate which ultimately makes them feel valued and important(Fernández-Guerra, 2011).Systems Theory:This theory is based on the assumption that how various systems affect theperformance of worker and how an employee affect the systems around them. A organisationsystem is consist of a variety of parts that collectively work together to accomplish a goal. It isbroad perspective that enable managers or leaders to evaluate events and patters in theworkplace. With the help of this theory, managers co-ordinate work in such a manner that leadsto achieve overall objective of firm in a cost-effective and efficient manner.1.2 How theories of management and leadership can be applied to different situationTheories of management and leadership assists in increasing productivity of organisation as wellas its service quality.

There are various situations takes place in firm in which managers use range oftheories for making effective decisions. Some of the situations that may arise at workplace ofNHS are defined below:Partnership working: Many times, there are situation arise in health and social careorganisation where partnership working is needed. In such conditions, all the employees needs towork together as team. Here, community teams play major role as they bring all the doctors andnurses into single team and work together to provide care required by patients. Manager of NHSapply management theories which helps them in taking effective decisions. Motivating teams: It is very necessary for manager and leader to motivate teams so thateffective working takes place within firm. In healthy and social care sector, if employees aremotivated, they are enable to provide services to patients in more effective way. Here,multidisciplinary team plays an important role.
