Social Work Educators' Perceptions Of Their Leadership And Management Competencies, Leah K. Lazzaro Dsw
Social Work Educators' Perceptions Of Their Leadership And Management Competencies, Leah K. Lazzaro Dsw
Social Work Doctoral Dissertations
Higher education, like many industries, is facing a staggering leadership gap as many educators plan to retire (Bailyn, 2014). As a result, social work education is called upon to respond to the need for emerging social workers to help fill the leadership positions as executive leadership retires en masse(Stewart, 2016). Leadership and management competencies are two separate and often competing skillsets. Managers plan and complete tasks related to an organization’s goals, while leaders inspire people and communicate a vision (Weinbach & Taylor, 2015; Wimpfheimer, 2004). Social work educators need both management and leadership skills to be prepared to face …

Social Work’S Contribution To Research Regarding Suicide Among African Americans, Darius Reed
Social Work Doctoral Dissertations
Suicide among African Americans has increased significantly in the past 15 years, yet it remains a neglected topic in social work research.

The systematic review also examines protective factors specific to African Americans that can be used to mitigate suicide …

Social Work Doctoral Dissertations
Family homelessness emerged as a social issue in the United States in the 1980s and has since established itself as a pervasive social problem. The issue of family homelessness is complex and multifaceted with multiple social, political, and economic contributing factors. Historically, society at large has been apt to attribute homelessness to individual faults and deficits, but the fact that family homelessness has only emerged and persisted as a notable social problem in recent decades hints at political and economic mechanisms at work that serve to complicate and perpetuate the problem. Tenant eviction is one such mechanism that appears to …
Exploring The Relationships Of Email Overload, Stress And Burnout In Social Workers, Lisa M. Lowrie
Exploring The Relationships Of Email Overload, Stress And Burnout In Social Workers, Lisa M. Lowrie
Social Work Doctoral Dissertations
Technostress is the inability to cope with information and communication technology which may result in stress and burnout. Email overload, stress, and burnout among social workers is a phenomenon that may impact retention in social and human service organizations. This mixed methods design uses the transactional theory of stress as the theoretical framework for measuring the relationship of email overload (email invasion, email volume, and email rapid response extraction) to stress and burnout in the social work workforce. This dissertation also explores the generational cohort, gender, and social work degree as predictors of email overload. Participants in this study were …
