ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic forced human services agencies to adapt quickly to the economic realities faced by their customers. For child support agencies, the pandemic raised difficult questions about how strenuously agencies should enforce child support orders during periods of economic crisis and uncertainty. Drawing on interviews with agency and court staff, this study explores staff’s perceptions of pandemic-related effects on parents’ abilities to work and pay, how and why enforcement practices changed during the pandemic, and changes staff expect to persist. Agency staff reported a pause on enforcement at the pandemic’s outset, followed by leniency, flexibility, caution, and empathy in their practices.

ABSTRACT Quality standards assessments (QSA) offer human service organizations a way to measure their performance and alignment with organizational goals and objectives. Using a case-study approach, this article demonstrates how one youth-serving coalition, aiming to provide comprehensive wrap around services, developed QSA surveys to operationalize coalition objectives and track their progress. From 2015 to 2016, this coalition created QSA surveys focusing on both provider- and youth-reported quality, each providing its own unique angle for the assessment. Factor analysis was used to identify two underlying dimensions of youth perceptions of quality, encompassing both interpersonal interactions and benefits of the services received. Correlation analyses uncovered associations between center designation and both provider- and youth-reported quality. Overall, the findings offer scholar-researchers and practitioners of human service organizations as well as youth-serving networks more broadly guides and tools for measuring service quality.

ABSTRACT Workplace inclusion is recommended for improving human service employee job satisfaction and commitment; however, limited research explores how perceptions of inclusion may differ by employee race and ethnicity. This study investigated the relationships between employee perceptions of department and workgroup inclusion with employee job satisfaction and commitment, and whether these perceptions differed by employee race and ethnicity. Data was collected at three time points from a U.S. nonprofit health care organization. Multiple group structural equation modeling results indicated that workgroup inclusion served as a critical focal point for cultivating department inclusion, employee job satisfaction, and workgroup commitment for employees of color.

Nonprofit organizations operating in civil society have become the main channel for social service provision in most neoliberal welfare economies. Social service nonprofits (SSNs) deliver essential services mainly to vulnerable and marginalized populations. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, SSNs have been at the frontline of dealing with its socioeconomic consequences. This paper focuses on the activities and responses to the crisis of SSNs in Israel. Interviews with SSN directors (N = 17) show that they dealt with growing demands for services due to the social implications of the pandemic, along with operational difficulties, such as deterioration in clients’ condition, disruption in service continuity, and reduced funding and staff. Next to these difficulties, the findings highlighted the social innovations adopted by SSNs to maintain service provision, such as implementing remote service technologies, forming collaborations, and recruiting volunteers. Implications for the social services and policies are presented and discussed.

在公民社会中运作的非营利组织已经成为大多数新自由主义福利经济体提供社会服务的主要渠道。社会服务非营利组织(ssn)主要向弱势群体和边缘人群提供基本服务。自2019冠状病毒病爆发以来，ssn一直站在应对其社会经济后果的第一线。本文的重点是以色列核潜艇的活动和对危机的反应。对社会保障机构负责人(17人)的采访表明，他们处理了由于大流行病的社会影响而不断增长的服务需求，以及业务困难，例如客户状况恶化、服务连续性中断、资金和工作人员减少。除了这些困难之外，调查结果还强调了社会服务网络为维持服务提供而采用的社会创新，例如实施远程服务技术、形成合作和招募志愿者。提出并讨论了对社会服务和政策的影响。《人类服务组织:管理、领导与治理》版权归Taylor & Francis Ltd所有，未经版权所有者明确书面许可，不得将其内容复制或通过电子邮件发送到多个网站或发布到listserv。但是，用户可以打印、下载或通过电子邮件发送文章供个人使用。这可以删节。对副本的准确性不作任何保证。用户应参阅原始出版版本的材料的完整。(版权适用于所有人。)

ABSTRACT Connections to supportive adults are essential to well-being for youth with intellectual and or developmental disabilities, yet few interventions have been developed to support connectedness among this population. The purpose of the current qualitative study was to identify strategies for overcoming barriers to implementation and fidelity for one of the few promising interventions developed to support these youth. In this article, we describe the adaptation and implementation of a family search and engagement model called Family Finding for Individuals with Intellectual and or Developmental Disabilities. We also present findings from our analysis of fidelity measures, participant discharge narratives, interviews with staff who administered the intervention, and youths’ other formal and informal supports. Findings pointed to strategies that helped workers overcome systemic, organizational, and individual-level barriers. We conclude this article with a discussion of study implications and limitations.

ABSTRACT In Europe, the widespread transition from the Traditional Staircase (TS) model to the Housing First (HF) model is transforming the way social service providers work with people experiencing homelessness. This study examined social service providers’ perspectives in both models regarding factors that facilitate or hinder their work. Data were collected through 17 photovoice projects involving 81 social service providers from eight European countries. The results show factors affecting social service providers’ work at three levels: systemic, organizational, and individual. Professionals in TS and HF identified similar topics; however, TS providers discussed more obstacles to work. Implications for practice are discussed.

Remembering Rino It was with much sadness that we learned of the passing of Rino J. Patti on September 16, 2021, at the age of 85. Rino founded this journal with Si Slavin in 1977 and served as Associate Editor and then Editor after Si stepped aside. Rino’s journal leadership reflects over 25 years of service to the professional practice of administration in the human services. Rino began his academic career at the University of Washington School of Social Work in 1967 where he also served as the founding director of the Center for Social Welfare Research while also leading the curriculum concentration related to macro-social work practice. His 21-year career at the University of Washington was followed by 9 years of service as Dean of the University of Southern California School of Social Work. In 1997, he became the Driscoll-Clevenger Professor of Social Policy and Administration until he retired in 2001. From 1991 to 1993, he also served as the president of the National Association of Deans and Directors of Schools of Social Work (1991–1993) and was the first board president of the Institute for the Advancement of Social Work Research (1993–1995). He was inducted as part of the inaugural class of Fellows at the American Academy of Social Work and Social Welfare in 2010. Among his many awards are the: NASW Presidential Award for the Advancement of Research (1996); Career Achievement Award from the Association for Community Organization and Administration (2003); and USC Faculty Lifetime Achievement Award (2006). Rino provided significant intellectual leadership by framing the research, curricular, and practice domains of administration and social policy throughout his career. In addition to mentoring many students who became professors and administrators throughout the country, his leadership reflected a caring, supportive, and accessible style that endeared him to all who had the opportunity to work with him. He also spent many hours as a journal editor helping young scholars improve their scholarship by providing extensive and detailed feedback on various manuscript submissions. He cared deeply about the next generation of scholars and demonstrated his compassion as educator, collaborator, and dean. In addition to his considerable contributions to the research literature on social work administration in the form of numerous articles, he was also known for his pioneering books. These include: Resnick, H. & Patti, R. (Eds) (1980). Change from within: Humanizing social welfare organizations. Philadelphia, PA: Temple University Press. Patti, R. (1983).

我们悲痛地得知里诺·j·帕蒂于2021年9月16日去世，享年85岁。1977年，里诺与斯·斯拉文(Si Slavin)共同创办了该杂志，在斯·斯拉文离职后，里诺先后担任副主编和总编辑。里诺的期刊领导力反映了超过25年的服务于人类服务管理的专业实践。1967年，里诺在华盛顿大学社会工作学院开始了他的学术生涯，在那里他还担任了社会福利研究中心的创始主任，同时还领导了与宏观社会工作实践相关的课程集中。他在华盛顿大学工作了21年，随后担任南加州大学社会工作学院院长9年。1997年，他成为德里斯科尔-克莱文格社会政策与管理教授，直到2001年退休。1991年至1993年，他还担任全国社会工作学院院长和院长协会主席(1991年至1993年)，并担任社会工作研究促进会首任董事会主席(1993年至1995年)。2010年，他入选美国社会工作与社会福利学会(American Academy of Social Work and Social Welfare)首批院士。他的众多奖项包括:NASW总统研究进步奖(1996年);社区组织与管理协会颁发的终身成就奖(2003年);南加州大学终身成就奖(2006年)。在他的职业生涯中，里诺通过构建管理和社会政策的研究、课程和实践领域，提供了重要的智力领导。除了指导许多在全国各地成为教授和行政人员的学生外，他的领导还体现了一种关怀、支持和平易近人的风格，这使他深受所有有机会与他一起工作的人的喜爱。他还花了很多时间作为期刊编辑，通过对各种稿件提交提供广泛而详细的反馈，帮助年轻学者提高他们的学术水平。他非常关心下一代的学者，并表现出他作为教育者、合作者和院长的同情心。除了以大量文章的形式对社会工作管理的研究文献做出了相当大的贡献外，他还以其开创性的书籍而闻名。这些包括:Resnick, H. & Patti, R.(编辑)(1980)。从内部改变:使社会福利组织人性化。费城:坦普尔大学出版社。帕蒂，R.(1983)。社会福利管理。Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall。帕蒂，R.(2001)。社会福利管理手册。加利福尼亚州千橡市:Sage。Patti, R.， Poertner, J. & Rapp, C.(编)(1989)。社会福利服务效能管理。宾汉姆顿，纽约:霍沃斯出版社。帕蒂，R.(2009)。人力服务管理手册，2版。千橡市，加州:Sage。虽然同事们都知道里诺是社会工作管理领域的主要思想领袖之一，但他个人的一面却不那么明显，除了我们这些在他85岁的后半生认识他的人。他深爱着他的妻子纳丁和他们的孩子克里斯和劳拉。里诺给了我职业生涯中收到的最有价值的礼物之一。这份礼物是他“君子”形象的一个例证(一个难得的正直和荣誉的人，通常是一个既有尊严又有正义感的人)。作为他相当机智的一个例子，人类服务组织:管理，领导与治理，2022年，第46卷，NO。2,111 - 124 https://doi.org/10.1080/23303131.2022.2043976

ABSTRACT Chinese social workers struggle to remain in this emerging profession; structural barriers are a challenging issue. This qualitative research explored the structural barriers Chinese social workers encounter and the coping strategies they utilize through interviews and focus group discussions with 49 experienced social workers. Two themes concerning structural barriers emerged: (a) constraining structural contexts; and (b) immature professionalization. Three categories of coping strategies were identified: (a) building a partnership and integrating resources; (b) utilizing a professional and personal social support network; and (c) improving organizational governance and strategic management. The barriers and coping strategies differentially impacted various career stages.

The barriers and coping strategies differentially impacted various career stages.","PeriodicalId":46043,"journal":{"name":"Human Service Organizations Management Leadership & Governance","volume":"101 1","pages":"370 - 391"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77735190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT Currently, racially and ethnically diverse communities are over represented in behavioral health and child welfare services, and data show that these populations have higher health disparity outcomes, which warrants targeted and tailored programing. This research used a systematic review to answer the research question: What strategies can behavioral health and child welfare leaders use to culturally adapt evidence-based programs (EBPs) and evidence-informed programs (EIPs) to serve racially and ethnically diverse clients to ensure effective allocation of scarce resources? Twelve themes of cultural adaptation strategies were found and evidence suggested that these adaptations resulted in better outcomes than the controls. These findings indicate that leaders that want to appropriately allocate scarce resources should consider cultural adaptations to their EBPs or EIPs to improve outcomes for their racially and ethnically diverse clients. Finally, a cultural adaptation tool is presented that can be applied across systems, ages, and differing races, ethnicities, and cultures.
