Book excerpt: Purpose: Burnout affects the quality of services provided to clients, the health and wellbeing of employees, and contributes to the infamously high turnover rates in social work. The purpose of this study is to use the professional quality of life model and the constructivist self-development theory to explore how social support and work-related factors influence risk of burnout. Research questions: 1) Does social support serve as a protective factor? 2) Are there other contributing factors that increase risk of burnout? Methods: Qualtrics was used to create an online survey, administered via email to 55 employees of the Department of Social Services. The survey included the Professional Quality of Life scale and Berlin Social Support Scales. Results: The only hypothesized significant relationship found was between number of hours worked per week and secondary traumatic stress. Another significant finding was that compassion satisfaction was higher in older social workers. Discussion: A larger sample is needed to show additional significant correlations. Future research should focus on gaining a better understanding of the causes of burnout and secondary traumatic stress in order to increase compassion satisfaction and other protective factors to proactively treat the problem.

This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines a key issue in the field of human and social services: how to retain workers in child protection and welfare organisations. Research over the last decade has highlighted the turnover of these workers as being a pressing and perennial issue that impacts upon service users, staff welfare, resources and the reputation of this sector. This book presents the findings of a study examining social workers' retention in child protection and welfare. The findings from this study highlights how workers' retention is influenced by exchanges relationships with colleagues and managers, and this book presents a unique 'career preference' typology which expands our understanding of how workers make decisions to stay or leave based upon their pre-conceptions of career pathways post-qualification. The book also examines findings associated with the employment mobility of these workers within child protection and tracks their next post after leaving, which provides some surprising findings regarding how we understand and measure turnover for these workers. The book also examines rich qualitative data from these workers' experiences of being a social worker in child protection associated with; job satisfaction, commitment to child protection and welfare work, making a difference, quality of supervision, autonomy, and exchange relationships with peers, all of which emerged as important factors in social workers' decisions to stay or leave. The implications of this study's findings for theory are also explored. Kenneth Burns is deputy course director of the Master of Social Work and a research associate with the Institute for Social Science in the 21st Century at University College Cork, Ireland.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This survey study interviewed social workers in rural communities to explore their perceptions of burnout, occupational stress, and agency support with the purpose of establishing best practices for increasing retention rates. Participants were current or past employees of a child welfare agency in El Dorado County. This agency was chosen to represent rural communities as it faces common rural challenges such as geographical isolation, limited resources, and unavoidable dual relationships. This agency has two office locations, each with drastically different retention rates. Although they are located in the same rural county, they have the same management and the same policies and procedures. Social workers in both offices shared their perceptions of burnout, occupational stress, and agency support with the goal of assessing what contributes to the difference in retention rates. The study findings showed that burnout and occupational stress were perceived similarly in both office locations. The social workers described a punitive management style, a lack of training and feelings of emotional exhaustion or ineffectiveness. However, the social workers in the office with the higher retention rate benefited from an emotionally supportive immediate supervisor and geographical distance from the management described as "punitive." These protective factors significantly increased the retention rates in that office as it created a sense of value among the social workers and decreased their exposure to work related conflict. While a supportive work environment is a benefit to any agency whether in a rural or urban setting, this study shows that the unique challenges inherent in a rural community makes support provided within agencies more significant to the job satisfaction of the social workers, which will therefore increase retention rates. This study highlights the importance of a management style which honors social work values such as using strength based approaches in addressing organizational culture, change and valuing social workers.

This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our complex, fast changing society, health is strongly influenced by the continuously changing interactions between organisations and their employees. Three major fields contribute to health-oriented improvements of these interactions: occupational health, organizational health and public health. As currently only partial links exist amongst these fields, the book aims to explore potential synergies more systematically. Considering the high mental and social demands in a service and knowledge sector economy, the first part of the book focuses on work-related psychosocial factors. As a large proportion of inequalities in health in developed countries can be explained by inequalities in working conditions, those psychosocial factors with a particularly high public health impact are highlighted. As addressing these psychosocial factors requires to involve the organization as the key change agent, the second part covers approaches to improve public health through organizational level health interventions. The last section takes a look into the future of occupational, organizational and public health: what are the future challenges regarding occupational health and how can they be tackled within and beyond the organizational level. Overall, this integrating book will help to broaden the evidence-base, legitimacy and efficacy of occupational- and organizational-level health interventions and thus increase their public health impact.
