Public Child Welfare Professionals - Those Who Stay, Rhonda Reagh
Public Child Welfare Professionals - Those Who Stay, Rhonda Reagh
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Public child welfare workers-especially those working in the "trenches" -are the life blood of child protection. Yet, the ever present challenge is keeping committed and talented professionals in the field. This article is based on a 1990 study which examined the phenomena of staying in the field through the eyes of the professionals who have done so. The study investigated the life histories and work experiences of 18 selected child welfare workers in a mid-western state through data gathered from in-depth written and oral life histories. Findings provide insight into the world of the child welfare worker.

Beyond Coping: An Empowerment Perspective On Stressful Life Events, Lorraine M. Gutierrez
Beyond Coping: An Empowerment Perspective On Stressful Life Events, Lorraine M. Gutierrez
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Research on stressful life events has demonstrated their negative effects on health and mental health. The possibility of empowerment, how individuals can take action to change their situations, has been largely overlooked by this research. Empowerment theory and research suggest that the outcome of stressful life events can be less debilitating when individuals are encouraged to identify with similar others, to develop specific skills, to perceive the societal or institutional components of their problems, and to engage in change on a collective level. This article develops this perspective by proposing how an empowerment perspective can enhance our understanding of the …

Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work Faculty Publications
Many studies of the law and policy creation process examine the efforts of particular interest groups and coalitions to influence the views and votes of legislators. Wysong focuses on the role of professional associations, specifically associations of health care professionals, in the legislative debate over the High Risk Occupational Disease Notification and Prevention Act, an example of what is most commonly known as "right-to-know" legislation.
The ethical codes and service-oriented goals of professions suggest that associations of professionals might act differently than interest groups. Wysong shows that the core groups in debates over health and safety legislation recognize that their …
The Elusive Boundaries Of Social Work, Arnon A. Bar-On
The Elusive Boundaries Of Social Work, Arnon A. Bar-On
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Repeated attempts to conceptualize social work have assumed that social work should and can have a precisely defined domain. One suggestion is to equate social work with personal social services. This article suggests that the uniqueness of social work lies in the very absence of defined boundaries. Implications for social work practice are identified, in particular social work's heavy dependence on resource controllers, and the consequent need of social work education to shift its traditional focus from client-centered interventions to managing non-client interactions.

Designing Community Social Services, John O'Looney
Designing Community Social Services, John O'Looney
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The literature is reviewed on the qualities of integrated and non-integrated organizational systems. Social service delivery has changed in recent decades such that organizational strategies and structures that may have once been successful no longer appear to be so. As tasks have changed, so too have the technologies that might assist in the more effective delivery of social services. A discussion of how organizational strategies might be designed, so as to link emerging tasks requirements with the ability to effectively use existing and potential technologies, concludes the paper.
From Entitlement To Contract: Reshaping The Welfare State In Australia, Richard Weatherley
From Entitlement To Contract: Reshaping The Welfare State In Australia, Richard Weatherley
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Australia has sought to contain social welfare expenditures through more stringent targeting of benefits, increased scrutiny of applicants, and by requiring more vigorous job search and training activities. The changes implemented since the Labor Party assumed office in 1983 represent the most sweeping restructuring of the Australian welfare state in 50 years. They mark a shift from an individualistic, rights-based view of welfare state entitlements to one stressing reciprocal obligations. This article examines the origin and implications of this reshaping of Australia's welfare state programs. It considers the dilemmas of enforcing workrelated obligations and other compliance measures in an era …

Racial Differences In Timing And Factors Associated With Retirement, Namkee G. Choi
Racial Differences In Timing And Factors Associated With Retirement, Namkee G. Choi
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Utilizing data from the 1968-1987 interview waves of the Panel Studies of Income Dynamics, this paper analyzes the racial differences in timing and factors associated with the retirement of a sample of 408 male workers. The analysis of the timing of retirement shows that black males past age 60 have a lower retirement rate than white males. Multivariate logit analysis also indicates that disability is a reason for retirement of both black and white males. In addition, white males who desire for leisure and black males with lower economic status are found to be more likely to retire.
Economic Strain, Family Structure And Problems With Children Among Displaced Workers, Carolyn C. Perrucci
Economic Strain, Family Structure And Problems With Children Among Displaced Workers, Carolyn C. Perrucci
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
For a small sample of Indiana families that had recently experienced unemployment due to a plant closing, perceived economic strain was related to a larger number of academic and interpersonal problems for their oldest child at home, average age thirteen. The relationship between parental economic strain and children's difficulties lessened with the introduction into the analysis of selected parental psychological resources and coping strategies. Family structure was also related to children's problems, despite parental resources and coping strategies.
Survey Of Social Work Educators: Qualifications And Compliance Criteria, Carol T. Tully
Survey Of Social Work Educators: Qualifications And Compliance Criteria, Carol T. Tully
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
In its Criteria for Accreditation (1987), the College Commission of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) implemented faculty qualifications standards that were strictly defined. Compliance with these standards in undergraduate and graduate schools of social work was the focus of this study. Data were gathered on 137 social work programs and include faculty qualifications information on 874 social work educators teaching in private and public institutions of higher education in the southern region. The findings indicate that baccalaureate programs in social work were more likely to be in compliance with SACS criteria than graduate schools. Strict compliance rates …
Commodification, The Welfare State And Israeli Kibbutz, John Gal
Commodification, The Welfare State And Israeli Kibbutz, John Gal
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The notion of commodification refers to the degree to which the individual is dependent upon the market for the satisfaction of his economic and social needs. The welfare state has been described as having a decommodifying influence in that it provides the individual with the means to maintain a reasonable standard of living while not working. An examination of the Israeli Kibbutz is undertaken in order to understand the workings of an extreme case of decommodification. In Kibbutzim, there exists a very highly developed system of welfare services that arc determined by individual needs and not by individual earning power. …
The Effect Of Corporatism On Contemporary Public Attitudes To Welfare, Michael Wearing
The Effect Of Corporatism On Contemporary Public Attitudes To Welfare, Michael Wearing
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
This article examines evidence for the possible link between public support for increased spending on government welfare programs and the strength of government welfare intervention in six OECD countries; Austria, Germany, Britain, the USA, Australia and Italy. Data is used from a 1985 international survey to question the congruence between the public's support for state welfare and the degree of corporatism as an indicator of state intervention in these countries. The concept of corporatism is limited to an analytic device that indicates the form of state intervention and policy making in particular historical periods and within sectors of state activity. …

The research in all stages of the evaluation process. The thesis also includes a discussion of the relative advantages and disadvantages of an oral interview format.
