Management science is one of the modern human sciences, and it is concerned with the best way to do business in institutions It can be defined as a set of scientific rules and principles that are concerned with the most appropriate use of resources by institutions to achieve the institution’s goal with the least possible time, effort and cost
Nursing administration is concerned with the leadership functions of governance and decision-making within organizations that employ nurses
Nursing administration involves performing some of the well-known administrative processes such as planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and supervising It is common for registered nurses to seek further education, such as a Master of Nursing degree or a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree, in preparation for nursing leadership positions

Management is a science It means that it relies on the scientific method when observing administrative problems, analyzing them, interpreting them, and arriving at results that can be generalized That is, it has principles, rules, schools, and theories that govern administrative work, and the application of these principles and theories leads to specific results
Management is an art that is, the manager needs experience, skill and intelligence in practicing his work and dealing with the human element to motivate him towards organizational goals, because not everyone who has studied management science is able to apply it The art of management is the ability to apply management in different fields
Management profession- Management is a profession, considered one of the most noble and sublime professions; because it places the person in a position of responsibility, and care for the affairs of employees and the institution, and management as a science, art and profession is closely and directly linked to society and people; because successful management is the basis for the development of society and people; it is linked to social, political, economic, educational affairs, and human resources management, and based on the skill of managers, society advances, and countries advance
Management is an art, a science and a profession together From all of the above, we can say that management is an art and a science together The administrator must rely on books and administrative theories in addition to the practical experience that is indispensable
•The process of setting goals, making the necessary decisions for the profession, and achieving them within a specific time through the optimal use of material and human capabilities
•The process of making decisions and finding alternatives to achieve the desired goal with the highest efficiency and lowest cost
•The process of achieving specific goals in a specific time by using the efforts of individuals and leading them and making use of available material resources, aiming for mastery, speed and economy as much as possible
•The origin of the word administration Latin meaning ( To Serve ), and administration thus means “service” on the basis that those who work in administration serve others
• Management means forecasting, planning, organizing, coordinating, issuing orders and controlling
Management is the process of planning, organizing, leading and controlling the activities and members of the organization, and using all organizational resources - human, financial, material and informational - for the purpose of achieving the organization's goals efficiently and effectively
• Effectiveness
It refers to the extent to which the organization's goals are achieved ( doing the right things, ie choosing the right goals )efinitions
• Efficiency
It means the economical use of resources ie economical use of resources and making good use of them doing things the right way ie achieving the best results with the least effort, time and cost
01- Organizing specializations at work Specialization allows workers to gain experience, continuously improve their skills and thus become more productive
02- Authority The right to issue orders with the importance of balancing responsibility with his work
03- Discipline The employee must obey, noting that employees will obey orders only if the management provides a good leader
04- Unity of source of command Employees must receive their orders from only one superior, without conflict in the chain of command
05- Unity of Directions People who are linked to the same pattern of activity should have the same single plan objectives Unity of command does not exist without unity of direction
06- Subordinating individual interests to general interests The interest of an individual or group in work should not overshadow the interests of the organization
07- Wages Wages paid must be satisfactory to both employees and employers And must be commensurate with the value of the employee to the organization
08- Centralization or decentralization This depends on the working conditions and the skills of the individuals
09- Chain of command It is called the formal lines of command or lines of communication and should not be long or consist of many levels
10- Order Both material and social demand are necessary, formal matters reduce wasted time and useless handling of raw materials
11- Justice In business management, integrating justice and equality is important, and treating employees well is important to achieve justice
12- Stability of individual positions Employees work better if they have security, as an unstable position and a high rate of job turnover affect the organization and vice versa
13- Initiative All individuals must be allowed to show their initiative as a source of strength for the organization
14- Professional spirit Management should enhance the morale of employees and encourage each individual without arousing jealousy or disturbing harmonious relationships
Basic functions of management science
The organizational structure is the formal framework within which management takes its place by means of a diagram that defines the relationships, through a description of the different positions that define the scope of responsibilities, authority, scope of supervision, and the vertical and horizontal relationships between these divisions
Types of organizational structure
- Official organizational structure
- Informal organizational structure
Official organizational structure
The formal organizational structure is known as The path of executive authority as a result of planning, draws and clarifies the relationship between people, their positions, responsibilities and the relationship between them
Informal organizational structure
It includes personal and social relationships that do not appear in the official organizational structure drawing
Steps to prepare the organizational structure
· Determine the purpose of the hospital
· Identify the sub-goals necessary to achieve the goal
· Determine the necessary activities and implement the sub-objectives (Example nursing/laboratory/nutrition activities, etc)
· Determine the work required to implement the activities
· Grouping jobs into positions such as doctors/nurses/technicians/unit heads/specialties/supervisory/technical categories)
· Grouping jobs into departments, for example (nursing jobs)
· Grouping departments into departments and sectors, then grouping them under one executive body, for example Health Affairs Directorate/Therapeutic Institution/Health Insurance
· Preparing an administrative organization guide that explains the rules, regulations, systems, and instructions, the most important of which is the organizational structure
Note
1- The number of department supervisors is determined according to the hospital’s organizational divisions, according to the location of the departments , the number of beds, and the type of Specializations
2- The number of department heads is determined according to the organizational divisions of the different departments in the hospital
3-
Each
hospital shall determine the number of supervisors, department heads, nurses
and their assistants in shifts and night shifts according to the workload of
each
Organizational structure of nursing management in a large general or
specialized hospital
