INTRODUCTION

In this unit, you will explore the three main models of service delivery used over the last two hundred years by the government in the United States. You will explore the advantages and disadvantages of these models of service delivery. As the staff model has given way to contract models, the ability to change, add, and delete programs has increased, but the costs of service delivery have gone up. To battle these costs, a new model of supporting faith-based organizations has emerged that reduces costs (Klingner, Nalbandian, & Llorens, 2010). You should evaluate features of these models for use within you own organization.

You will discover that changing the status quo in delivery model can be very challenging and complex for a human resources manager. Understanding both sides of the issues is critical in making the changes to add a new service and staffing it with a new job design, such as you will do in your course project.
