社会和谐是中国特色社会主义的本质属性

社会和谐发挥了中国特色社会主义推动社会发展的优势。它有可能做到完全按照社会发展的需要和最广大人民的利益去调节生产关系和上层建筑,使其不断适应生产力发展的要求,从而达到整个社会协调持续地向前发展,政治经济文化社会保持和谐稳定的状态。社会和谐反映了中国特色社会主义在社会关系方面的特征,它符合于中国特色社会主义发展的历史趋势,体现了中国特色社会主义的基本价值取向。实现人的全面自由发展,是科学社会主义的最高价值取向,也是共产主义社会最本质的特征。而人的自由全面发展的标志,是每个人的自由发展是一切人的自由发展的条件。这恰恰就是人与人和谐相处的最高境界,是社会关系和谐的最高境界。今天我们建设社会主义和谐社会就是在为实现这个目标而奋斗。     

社会工作者在社会救助管理中的角色

社会救助站是社会救助体系实施对外救助服务的一个重要表现形式，然而，当前救助管理站由于自身和社会的因素，普遍存在着专业性不高、服务层次低、救助功能未充分发挥等方面的问题。本文从社会工作“助人自助”价值理念基础上的专业方法角度出发，提出了解决这一问题的相关办法。     

关于社会和谐是中国特色社会主义的本质属性的几点看法

社会本质是一个有层次的系统,包括社会价值目标和社会政治、经济和文化等特征。十一届三中全会以前缺乏对社会主义价值目标是社会主义本质属性的最根本标志的认识。十六届六中全会提出和谐社会是社会主义本质属性是在邓小平同志概括的基础上的又一种新的高度认识。和谐社会是社会主义本质属性的阶段定位是社会主义初级阶段。构建社会主义和谐社会要坚持以马克思主义和中国特色社会主义理论和“三个代表”重要思想为指导。     

Licensure of Social Workers

Social work organizations have actively been seeking licensure. This paper explores the impact of a licensure model using survey data of registered social workers gathered in Michigan. The effect of restricted entry to social work through licensure is apparent on characteristics of providers, clients and settings. The sharpest impact of licensure under the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) model is on the types of services provided. Those eligible are generally providing peoplechanging services while those ineligible are generally providing people-processing services to clients. This outcome is contrasted with the broad multifaceted definition social work organizations intellectually support.     

Social Justice and the Low-Paid Workers

This paper defines a minimal set of conditions which must be satisfied by any system purporting to be guided by a notion of social justice with a significant egalitarian element. The aim is to distinguish between egalitarian concern on the one hand and mere alms-giving sentiment on the other. Taking a broad historical span, the paper shows that, rhetoric apart, the empirical data does not support the claim that egalitarian concerns have played an effective role in determining the value of the real wage for the low-paid worker. In reality, the fate of low wages appears to have been determined by little more than an alms-giving sentiment. This has implications not only for current debates over labour market reform but also for social welfare policies in general. This is especially so because of the close affinity between the base Award rate and the evaluation of the ‘poverty line’. Attention to the Award wage of the low-paid worker, the paper argues, is all the more urgent in the current economic climate when an increasing proportion of workers are likely to be trapped in low paying jobs for very long periods and possibly indefinitely.     

Taiwanese Protective Social Workers Meeting Elected Representatives: Perspectives of Protective Social Workers

Abstract

As no empirical research in Taiwan has investigated elected representatives’ interventions in protective social work, this research explores protective social workers’ experiences of elected representatives’ involvement in protective cases. Quantitative and qualitative research was conducted with 313 Taiwanese protective social workers. Data were collected with an anonymous open-ended questionnaire from both public and private sectors. Findings revealed that elected representatives become comprehensively involved in some protective cases, stressing protective social workers to the point of burnout and resignation. However, no effective methods to limit or stop political interruption exist. Therefore, this study proposes that central and local governments should pay more attention to this phenomenon by restricting interference and arranging training and seminars for both protective social workers and elected representatives. In the near future, quantitative or qualitative studies should be conducted using a larger population and face-to-face interviews to acquire an in-depth understanding of the representation of the perspectives of protective social workers.

Intention to Leave the Profession: Welfare Social Workers Compared to Health Care and Community Social Workers in Israel

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to compare specific work related-factors (personal factor: length of work experience; structural factors: personal subjection to violence and fear of being subjected to violence; and psychological factors: professional quality of life—compassion satisfaction, burnout, and compassion fatigue) between welfare social workers (SWs) (n = 200) and health care and community SWs (n = 173). Furthermore, since the issue of turnover among SWs has important implications for the provision and programming of social services, the study also aimed to assess the relationship between these factors and SW intention to leave the profession. For the purpose of this study, online questionnaires were distributed to SWs working at social agencies and services. The findings suggest that the two categories of SWs showed a similarity with regard to the association between the personal and structural factors and intention to leave the profession. However, with regard to the psychological factors, the components of professional quality of life were found to operate differently in each category of SWs. It is suggested that future research examine other work-related factors and explore the intention to leave the profession among other social work specializations and employment sectors.

生命历程理论视野下的新生代农民工社会保护研究

新生代农民工在现代化进程中成为社会弱势群体,是渐进的个人生命历程与剧烈的社会变迁交互作用的结果。在利益分化失衡、社会发展断裂和价值意义碎片化的社会转型期,新生代农民工的身份认同、制度认同和文化认同出现了深层危机,并由此而导致进一步的社会隔离、社会紧张和社会风险。对新生代农民工进行强有力的社会保护有利于其健康发展与和谐社会的构建。这一保护应坚持以公正性为根本、以动态性为保障、以发展性为方向的原则;构建以教育权、发展权、福利权、生命健康权、信息权和就业权为核心的权利体系,赋予其平等的权利并将其权利制度化;完善以政府为主导、社区为中介、组织为关键、家庭为基础的社会支持系统。     

Social Changes in the Countryside

Analysis of Soviet village life today permits us to identify the point to which it has historically advanced along the road of socialist reorganization and to understand the nature of the significant changes that have occurred in the last few years. Furthermore, through the prism of this analysis it becomes possible to look into the future of the socialist village as well and to determine its most important needs. The progressive changes in farm production and the entire way of life of the peasants is a result of the implementation of Lenin's plan for cooperatives and of the tremendous creative work of the Communist Party in the countryside. Implementation of the broad program of agricultural development has created an economic and social potential that forms a dependable base for accelerated improvement of the village and allows new tasks to be posed and fulfilled. They are formulated in the documents of the Twenty-fifth Congress of the CPSU and in the Central Committee decree, "On Further Development of Specialization and Concentration of Agricultural Production on the Basis of Interfarm Cooperation and Agroindustrial Integration," and in the materials of the October 1976 Plenum.     

制度排斥、社会距离与农民工社会融入——基于广东省东莞市的分析

本文利用一项广东省东莞市流动人口调查数据分析发现,有广东省户籍、有子女在东莞工作或上学、来东莞市时间长、对工作及住房条件满意度高者,社会融入状况较好;当前相对严格的户籍准入制度仍然是农民工社会融入的最主要体制性障碍;长期的制度排斥产生了不良的心理后果,较为普遍的自信心缺失也阻碍了农民工社会融入.     

The Use of TGroups in Training Social Workers

Summary It is suggested that T groups might be of value in Social Worktraining as a means of encouraging Social Workers to make greateruse of group techniques. T groups have been criticized on ethicalgrounds and for their tendency to produce psychological disturbancein predisposed individuals. In he context of Social Work trainingT groups have a dual function, promoting self awareness in theparticipants and increasing their knowledge of group dynamics.A procedure is described which emphasizes the necessity of focusingon group behaviour as opposed to individual psychopathology.It is believed that by doing so the psychological hazards arereduced. A brief outline is given of the manner in which materialproduced in the group sessions may illustrate theoretical materialintroduced elsewhere on the course

Business Social Responsibility: Perspectives of Businesses and Social Workers

ABSTRACT

This article compares the attitudes of social workers and business employees regarding the community involvement of businesses and the role of social workers in this involvement. The study, based on a structured questionnaire, was conducted in Israel and consisted of 316 participants from two cohorts: social workers and business employees. The principal findings show that social workers are more inclined than business employees to recommend that social workers increase their involvement in business social responsibility (BSR); business employees are more likely than social workers to advocate that the latter assume managerial functions; both groups support a low level of influence for social workers on decision-making processes and a role of exchange of knowledge rather than full partnership. The discussion addresses the implications of the findings for increasing social workers' involvement in BSR and cooperation with the business sector.     

Examining the Curricula for Entry-Level Social Workers in Aging-Related Fields

The rapidly growing older population necessitates the provision of more gerontological social workers. This study evaluates the social work programs that are offered by a university in Hong Kong, based on separate surveys of alumni and employers. It also examines the effects of alumni background characteristics on perceived training adequacy. The training is found to be moderately adequate in preparing the alumni for practice in aging-related jobs, but there is a need to improve the existing curricula. Implications for the improvement of the curricula and suggestions for further studies are also discussed.
