Organizational Behaviour
Introduction
Organizational change takes place when an organization enacts new behaviors or ideas. Organizational change may include structural reorganization. It is essential when some elements of the organization are outdated or not working effectively (Hellriegel, 2010). Within criminal justice agencies, several prosecutors and police agencies have enacted organizational changes within the past decades (Sever, 2008). Most such changes like community policing and prosecution were adopted to promote responsiveness and enhance input from the community, use a problem-solving approach to solve community-related challenges, and partner with other agencies to enhance the quality of general community life.
Social, Political, And Organizational Behavior and Influence on Criminal Justice Agencies
Agencies of criminal justice are hugely influenced by social behavior. For example, the recent police accusation of racism and excessive force toward African Americans resulted in a civil rights demonstration on black lives matter. Such events prompted a law change and behavior by various criminal justice departments, including the Judiciary. For instance, the court handed the culprits heavy sentencing to deter other officers from similar behavior.
On the other hand, political behavior also consistently impacts criminal justice departments through various decisions made by political leaders (Hellriegel, 2010). A particular political regime may push for policies that influence the operation of various criminal justice agencies, particularly the police. For instance, a particular political regime may decide to either increase or reduce financial allocation to law enforcement agencies inducing criminal justice agencies change of performance. Moreover, when policymakers fail to establish proper programs that discourage acts of corruption, criminal justice agencies might not deliver on their mandate effectively.
In addition, a particular organizational behavior may be beneficial or disastrous to the performance of criminal justice departments. An organization with poor management systems can be a barrier to the effectiveness of criminal justice agencies (Sever, 2008). Otherwise, when effective management reforms like public participation and transparency are adopted in decision-making, the work of criminal justice agencies becomes effective.
Relationship Between Organizational Systems and Organizational Behavior
Organizational behavior and organizational system...…can be traced to the police department. Moreover, promotions are usually driven by politics or unions, resulting in unqualified leaders in leadership roles.
Benefits of change management strategies to criminal justice agencies and the criminal justice system?
Organizational leadership should train better, lead properly, remove marginal or bad leaders, hire properly, and effectively mentor the leaders (Robbins, 2010). Also, criminal justice agencies must be more flexible in embracing diversity and inclusivity while appointing individuals to leadership positions. With such a change in leadership strategies, the system and the criminal justice agencies could enact policy changes more effectively and faster (Sever, 2008). Therefore, change management strategies enable criminal justice agencies to adapt to the changing environment.
Conclusion
Criminal justice agencies must adopt new policies, technologies, philosophies, and practices to ensure effective organizational change (Sever, 2008). Moreover, the primary perspectives to managing change in criminal justice departments include appreciating the need for change and the forces initiating such a change and enacting strategies that are in tandem with organizational values and…

Change is the movement away from its present state toward a desired future state. Organizations are constantly changing, but organizational change typically refers to the large-scale changes that are sometimes needed to reset the organization. Inevitably, change processes will meet with resistance. This paper will examine how resistance can be a driver in the change process, rather than an obstacle. There is a substantial body of literature that discusses how
Organizational Change The Burke-Litwin Model contains twelve organizational variables. Each of these variables is interconnected, so that changes in one variable will affect the others. Also built into the model is the idea that change can occur as the result of a concerted effort to change multiple variables. Ideally, an organizational change program will be strongest when all of the different variables are aligned in the direction of the desired change.

Change Plan Effectiveness of the organizational change There are various questions that the leaders of the organization have to ask themselves such as what happened after the changes? Were the expected results got? What were results got that were unexpected? Did the performance of the organization improve? Did the performance decline? Do any adjustments need to occur? The changes that have been implemented should be reflected on the performance of the organization.
Organizational Change Management Plan The pervasive adoption of home care treatment programs over their more costly and less flexible institutionalized counterparts is forcing rapid change throughout the healthcare industry. Many of these changes are predicated on serving the patient more effectively, and this often encompasses their treatment programs, the level of patient satisfaction attained with their remote care, and the effectiveness of remote support and treatment from trained healthcare professionals.
