A bottom-up approach begins at the lower levels and trickles up. For example, nurses might decide to schedule their rotations so that no nurse received more than one night shift and one double shift per week. When managers notice this results in fewer errors, they might make it company policy.

One contentious aspect of human services research is what motivates individuals within an organization. One school of thought stresses the need for worker autonomy as a source of motivation, and underlines how individuals who feel empowered to make an input are more apt to serve the organization in a dynamic and loyal fashion.

Human Services Describe the five different models of policy-making process and apply them to various policies: The Rational Model (also called the Synoptic approach) is reportedly the "purest of the models" because of the quality of scientific methods it embraces, and the way it advocates objectivity, and occasionally doing it dogmatically, according to Unit 5.

It was thought that the Six Sigma concept was simply "too powerful to fail," a misconception on which the whole misfortune of the Six Sigma programs is based.

Implementation in sectors like finance and
