ABSTRACT This study developed a scale of perceived salient organizational career management practices based on a survey of 420 social workers from social work organizations in Guangdong province, China. A two-factor structure OCM scale was constructed using items reflecting the components of organizational career management (OCM) practices. The scale showed sufficient reliability and validity. The results demonstrated the necessity of designing promotion ladders, relevant training, career counseling and other OCM measures to assist social workers in their career progression. Practice Points The perceived salient OCM scale helps social work managers to understand how social workers perceive OCMpractices in social work organizations. Social work managers can specifically target OCM practices to social workers, and a systemic career progression ladder will facilitate a proactive and flexible response to social workers’ aspirations. Organizations should organize their OCM practices systematically, and the entire OCM system should be monitored and reviewed methodically.
摘要本研究基于对广东省420名社会工作机构的社会工作者的调查,开发了一个感知显著的组织职业管理实践量表。采用反映组织职业生涯管理实践成分的条目构建了一个双因素结构OCM量表。量表具有足够的信度和效度。结果表明,设计晋升阶梯、相关培训、职业生涯咨询等OCM措施对社会工作者职业发展有帮助。感知显著性OCM量表有助于社会工作管理者了解社会工作者如何感知社会工作组织中的OCM实践。社会工作管理者可以专门针对社会工作者进行OCM实践,一个系统的职业发展阶梯将有助于对社会工作者的愿望作出积极和灵活的反应。组织应系统地组织其OCM实践,并对整个OCM系统进行有条不紊的监视和评审。

ABSTRACT Social work managers face multiple challenges when seeking to create organizational environments that support community social outcomes. This study aims to provide a model of human services organizational management that includes social entrepreneurial orientation (SEO), and employs a multivariate regression analysis to identify relationships between SEO and social work management competencies using a nationally representative sample of nonprofits in Canada. Significant relationships were found between the SEO Scale (including social innovation, proactivity, risk-taking, and market engagement) and the Social Work Management Competencies Scale (including executive leadership, resource management, strategic management, and community collaboration). Further, organizational health significantly predicted resource management and strategic management, while revenue level significantly negatively predicted executive leadership. Multiple implications for findings are provided and a discussion is focused on applications for social work management. PRACTICE POINTS The enhancement of socially entrepreneurial factors within the nonprofit organization directly supports management competency development. As such, SEO (including social innovation, risk-taking, proactivity, and market engagement) provides a set of domains that can be used to initiate strong management practice. Scales for SEO and social work management competencies can be utilized as assessment and evaluation tools by providing management with data using multi-dimensional measures, capturing the varied ways in which the organization may improve related factors while identifying areas of strength. Although all areas relating to SEO are important contributors of social work management as independent factors, the most powerful results are observed when the entire scale is used as a whole. Practitioners may consider how this concept can be implemented wholly, or focus on the most prevalent predictors (i.e. social innovation and proactivity).
社会工作管理者在寻求创造支持社区社会成果的组织环境时面临着多重挑战。本研究旨在提供一个包含社会创业导向(SEO)的人力服务组织管理模型,并采用多元回归分析来确定SEO与社会工作管理能力之间的关系,并使用加拿大全国代表性的非营利组织样本。SEO量表(包括社会创新、主动性、冒险和市场参与)和社会工作管理能力量表(包括行政领导、资源管理、战略管理和社区协作)之间存在显著的关系。此外,组织健康对资源管理和战略管理有显著的负向预测,而收入水平对执行领导力有显著的负向预测。提供了研究结果的多重含义,并重点讨论了社会工作管理的应用。实践要点:非营利组织内部社会创业因素的增强直接支持管理能力的发展。因此,SEO(包括社会创新、冒险、主动性和市场参与)提供了一组可用于启动强大管理实践的领域。搜索引擎优化和社会工作管理能力的量表可以作为评估和评估工具,通过使用多维度措施为管理层提供数据,捕捉组织可能改善相关因素的各种方式,同时确定优势领域。虽然与SEO相关的所有领域都是社会工作管理的重要贡献者,但当整个规模作为一个整体使用时,可以观察到最强大的结果。从业者可以考虑如何全面实施这一概念,或者关注最普遍的预测因素(即社会创新和主动性)。

ABSTRACT Drawing on the conservation of resources theory, this study examines the curvilinear relationship between social workers’ meaningful work and work engagement. Data gathered from 223 social workers reveal that the relationship between meaningful work and work engagement showed a U-shaped curve when psychological capital is low. In contrast, this relationship showed an inverted U-shaped curve when psychological capital is high. Our study makes significant contributions to the literature in the following ways. First and foremost, this is the first paper that provides an established base to validate the momentary and changing nature of meaningful work empirically. Second, we further addressed how the fluctuating nature of meaningful work can be addressed through individuals’ demographic variables of psychological capital. Finally, our results provide managerial interventions that support businesses in advancing the understanding of psychological processes in contexts related to the broad area of work and in organizations. PRACTICE POINTS Meaningful work enhances work engagement. Nonprofit organizations (NPOs) should provide a safe space where social workers can share their victories, perspectives, and frustrations. NPOs should provide ample support to employees and ensure they fit well into the new social work environment. Given the malleable characteristics of PsyCap, NPOs can offer interventions in the form of training to increase social workers’ sense of hope, efficacy, resilience and optimism. The curvilinear effect of PsyCap on the relationship between meaningful work and work engagement shows that NPOs should also design pathways to engage social workers with high PsyCap constantly.
摘要本研究以资源守恒理论为基础,考察社工有意义工作与工作投入之间的曲线关系。223名社会工作者的数据显示,当心理资本较低时,有意义的工作与工作投入之间的关系呈u型曲线。相反,当心理资本高时,这一关系呈现倒u型曲线。我们的研究在以下几个方面对文献做出了重大贡献。首先,这是第一篇论文,它提供了一个建立的基础,以经验验证有意义的工作的瞬间和变化的性质。其次,我们进一步探讨了如何通过个体心理资本的人口统计学变量来解决有意义工作的波动性问题。最后,我们的研究结果提供了管理干预措施,支持企业在与广泛的工作领域和组织相关的背景下推进对心理过程的理解。练习要点:有意义的工作能提高工作投入。非营利组织(NPOs)应该提供一个安全的空间,让社会工作者可以分享他们的胜利、观点和挫折。非营利组织应该为员工提供充分的支持,确保他们能够很好地适应新的社会工作环境。鉴于PsyCap的延展性,非营利组织可以通过培训的形式进行干预,增强社工的希望感、效能感、适应力和乐观感。心理帽对有意义工作与工作投入关系的曲线效应表明,非营利组织也应该设计途径,不断吸引心理帽高的社会工作者。

ABSTRACT The literature on the collaboration between businesses and Social Service Nonprofits (SSNs) emphasizes the importance of strategic management, based on joint governance and rational decision-making. This article presents a multiple case study analysis of four cross-sector collaborations, between for-profit business organizations and SSNs. The study examined the dynamics of interorganizational collaborations and their management in different stages of the collaboration. Data were collected from 36 in-depth interviews with key players from both organization types. The findings revealed that collaborations were based mainly on non-systematic decision-making and sporadic oral communication, with high participant turnover. Strategic planning was mostly absent, as were attempts to institutionalize administrative processes and procedures, form a new type of governance, and conclude formal agreements. An “organized anarchy” model is proposed to analyze the relations between the organizations and their operations during the collaboration period. Implications for future business-SSN collaborations and for collaboration management are presented and discussed. PRACTICE POINTS The study focuses on the inter-organizational dynamics of business-SSN collaboration, and sheds light on the patterns of inconsistency, ephemerality, and randomness that characterize them, using the “organized anarchy” theoretical model. The findings highlight the potential costs of these detected patterns, which might pose a threat to collaboration sustainability and hence to its outcomes, due to instability, participant turn over and lack of appropriate knowledge and training. Next to the potential costs, the findings also highlight the potential benefits of these patterns as they allow for agility, for making quick changes in response to challenges posed by changes in the environment, and for greater creativity and faster reaction to changing needs of the partner organizations, their service-users and staff. The study provides practical suggestions to enhance sustainability of business-SSN collaboration: Appropriate preparation, socialization, orientation and training of the parties to the collaboration, and strategic management of collaboration which includes joint governance mechanisms and frequent communication.
关于企业与社会服务非营利组织(SSNs)合作的文献强调了基于联合治理和理性决策的战略管理的重要性。本文介绍了营利性商业组织与ssn之间的四种跨部门合作的多个案例研究分析。本研究考察了组织间合作的动态及其在合作的不同阶段的管理。数据收集自对两种组织类型的主要参与者进行的36次深度访谈。研究结果表明,合作主要基于非系统决策和零星的口头交流,参与者流动率高。战略规划基本上没有,使行政过程和程序制度化、形成一种新型管理和缔结正式协定的努力也没有。提出了一个“有组织的无政府状态”模型来分析协作期间各组织及其运作之间的关系。提出并讨论了未来业务ssn协作和协作管理的含义。实践要点:本研究着重于商业社会安全协作的组织间动态,并使用“有组织的无政府状态”理论模型,阐明了这些协作的不一致性、短暂性和随机性模式。研究结果强调了这些被检测到的模式的潜在成本,由于不稳定、参与者流失以及缺乏适当的知识和培训,这些模式可能对合作的可持续性以及结果构成威胁。除了潜在的成本之外,调查结果还强调了这些模式的潜在好处,因为它们允许敏捷性,允许对环境变化带来的挑战进行快速更改,并且允许对合作伙伴组织及其服务用户和员工不断变化的需求进行更大的创造力和更快的反应。本研究为企业社会安全保障合作的可持续性提供了切实可行的建议:对合作各方进行适当的准备、社会化、定位和培训,并对合作进行战略管理,包括联合治理机制和频繁沟通。

Can Case-Management Teams Solve the Dilemmas of the Street-Level Bureaucrat? Evidence from a Nonprofit Case Study 个案管理小组能解决街头官僚的困境吗?来自非营利组织案例研究的证据

ABSTRACT Street-level bureaucracy (SLB) theory posits bureaucratic demands and resource scarcity are primary drivers of suboptimal SLB-client interactions. As such, mitigating SLBs’ bureaucratic work is considered key to improving client treatment. Yet, little evidence exists that reconfiguring bureaucratic demands enhances SLB client engagement or decision-making. To this end, this study considers a case management team model where lead caseworkers were primarily responsible for client engagement while case assistants managed bureaucratic demands in a large southwest nonprofit’s anti-poverty program. We draw on interviews (N = 38) at two points in time with team members to examine the relationship between bureaucratic delineation, resource allocations, and decision-making. We find that delineating bureaucratic work along with teams’ access to generous client provisions expands the breadth and quality of resource distribution, but this is mitigated by team relational demands such as frequent case meetings. Our findings suggest enhanced resources are not necessarily a panacea for improving SLB-client engagement. Practical Points To help case management teams, or frontline staff more generally, develop and maintain amenable organizational relationships, we recommend the use of team-building trainings, workshops, and activities. While we find that discretionary decision-making was enhanced by case management teams, disagreements or a lack of clarity were not eliminated. We recommend organizations assist frontline staff with equitable discretionary decision-making through clear guidelines on resource allocations, available provisions, and in some instances, decision-trees that can assist with complex decision-making. To support frontline staff cohesion and job satisfaction, we recommend organizations implement worker learning communities. Worker learning communities regularly meet as a workshop, often led by internal organization staff, to learn new content, methods, and/or service delivery techniques, discuss complicated cases, or brainstorm new ideas to enhance equitable programming and services. While creative staffing plans like case teams are meant to build staff capacity, few social workers and other clinically trained service providers are supported in building management skills. We recommend explicit attention to the development of management and peer-leadership skills so team cohesion and decision-making can be actively cultivated within ambitious program development.
基层官僚主义(SLB)理论认为,官僚主义需求和资源稀缺是基层官僚主义与客户之间非最优互动的主要驱动因素。因此,减轻slb的官僚工作被认为是改善客户待遇的关键。然而,很少有证据表明,重新配置官僚需求可以提高SLB客户的参与或决策。为此,本研究考虑了一个案例管理团队模型,其中首席案例工作者主要负责客户参与,而案例助理负责管理西南大型非营利组织的反贫困项目的官僚需求。我们在两个时间点与团队成员进行了访谈(N = 38),以检查官僚划分、资源分配和决策之间的关系。我们发现,将官僚主义工作与团队获得慷慨的客户条款相结合,扩大了资源分配的广度和质量,但这被团队关系需求(如频繁的案例会议)所缓解。我们的研究结果表明,增加资源并不一定是提高slb客户参与度的灵丹妙药。实用要点:为了帮助个案管理小组,或更广泛地说,前线员工,发展和维持良好的组织关系,我们建议使用团队建设培训,研讨会和活动。虽然我们发现案例管理团队加强了自由裁量决策,但分歧或缺乏明确性并没有消除。我们建议组织通过明确的资源分配指导方针、可用的规定,以及在某些情况下可以帮助复杂决策的决策树,帮助一线员工做出公平的自由裁量决策。为了提高前线员工的凝聚力和工作满意度,我们建议各机构设立员工学习社区。工人学习社区定期召开研讨会,通常由组织内部员工领导,以学习新的内容、方法和/或服务提供技术,讨论复杂的案例,或集思广益,以加强公平的规划和服务。虽然像个案小组这样的创造性人员配备计划旨在提高员工能力,但很少有社会工作者和其他经过临床培训的服务提供者在建设管理技能方面得到支持。我们建议明确关注管理和同伴领导技能的发展,以便在雄心勃勃的项目开发中积极培养团队凝聚力和决策能力。

ABSTRACT Although community-based ethnic organizations (CBEOs) play a crucial role within the human services landscape, their role often remains unacknowledged. Our study examines the role of CBEOs in the context of the larger human services environment. Purposive sampling was used to interview immigrant/refugee CBEO leaders (N = 7). Four overarching themes emerged: perceived role of CBEOs in immigrant/refugee services; CBEO challenges in the human services environment; inclusion versus exclusion in the HSO network; and CBEO positioning as a way forward for human services. We argue for increased legitimization of CBEOs serving immigrant and refugee communities for an equitable human services environment.
虽然以社区为基础的民族组织(CBEOs)在人类服务领域发挥着至关重要的作用,但他们的作用往往未得到承认。我们的研究考察了首席执行官在更大的人力服务环境中的作用。有目的的抽样被用来采访移民/难民首席执行官领导人(N = 7)。出现了四个总体主题:首席执行官在移民/难民服务中的感知角色;CBEO在人力服务环境中的挑战HSO网络的包容与排斥;以及将首席执行官定位为人力服务的前进方向。我们主张增加为移民和难民社区服务的首席执行官的合法性,以实现公平的人类服务环境。

ABSTRACT Effective supervision is a key aspect of community-based mental health practice that may enrich staff development, and improve the quality of care for clients. This case study describes the organizational efforts of a not-for-profit, community-based mental health and addiction service provider to strengthen its approaches to clinical supervision. The organization’s leadership engaged in the development of a comprehensive model aimed at establishing a culture of internal clinical supervision to meet the needs of staff and clients. The model incorporates existing best practices, and may strengthen research on supervision through the integration of practice-based insight.
有效的监督是社区精神卫生实践的一个关键方面,它可以丰富员工的发展,提高对来访者的护理质量。本案例研究描述了一个非营利的、以社区为基础的心理健康和成瘾服务提供者为加强其临床监督方法所做的组织努力。该组织的领导层致力于开发一种全面的模式,旨在建立一种内部临床监督文化,以满足员工和客户的需求。该模型结合了现有的最佳实践,并可能通过整合基于实践的见解来加强对监督的研究。

ABSTRACT Human services professionals who work in child welfare face notable risks for burnout, which is associated with higher levels of job stress, job dissatisfaction, and turnover. The authors of this study developed and validated scores on the Inner Wealth Inventory (IWI), a screening tool for appraising Inner Wealth (IW), a strengths-based construct with implications for reducing burnout. The collective results of exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, convergent validity testing, and internal consistency reliability analyses supported the psychometric properties of the IWI with two independent samples of child welfare professionals. Implications for human service managers, researchers, and practitioners are discussed.
从事儿童福利工作的人类服务专业人员面临着显著的职业倦怠风险,这与较高水平的工作压力、工作不满和离职有关。本研究的作者开发并验证了内在财富量表(IWI)的分数,这是一种评估内在财富(IW)的筛选工具,是一种基于优势的结构,具有减少倦怠的含义。探索性因子分析、验证性因子分析、收敛效度检验和内部一致性信度分析的集体结果支持两个独立样本的儿童福利专业人员的心理测量特性。对人力服务经理、研究人员和从业人员的影响进行了讨论。
