Typical task-oriented behaviours are: planning work activities, clarifying objectives and monitoring employees' performance and actions.
The EPOC comprises six dimensions: assertiveness, working with others; task-oriented leadership; people-oriented leadership; situational awareness; planning and anticipation.
The EPOC classifies explicit professional oral communication of an observed person into six dimensions; assertiveness, working with others, task-oriented leadership, people-oriented leadership, situational awareness, and planning and anticipation.
The task-oriented side of management includes planning, organizing, controlling, delegating, integrating, measuring, and improving.
Empirical evidence is nonetheless accumulating to suggest that across community and in-patient settings a combination of individual, time and organisational constraints may ultimately be acting to dilute professional education and training, replacing a contemporary philosophy of service user and carer involvement in care planning with ritualised, task-oriented practice.
They may be too task-oriented and not sufficiently people-oriented, too tough and not responsive enough to people's needs, too big-picture-oriented with not enough emphasis on planning and follow-through.
They are more task-oriented and less people (relationship) oriented.
Albinsson and Stang [ 46], in interviewing 32 experienced nursing home employees about how they thought the leader should function to achieve high quality of care, found that task-oriented behaviour characterized by well-defined leadership, goal formulation and care planning was emphasised as decisive in this regard.
Even in the office, people sit in open-plan workspaces, but everyone is staring at a computer or attending task-oriented meetings where opportunities to connect on a human level are scarce.
Generating a coherent, appropriately phrased text that usefully performs a task-oriented communication task is difficult to formalize because it requires the integration of complex and sophisticated domain information with discourse planning, user modeling, and linguistic constraints.
They are purpose-oriented, not task-oriented.
