“…In a recent report on the difficulties of the social work profession, job demands included increasing paperwork, unmanageable caseloads, and problems with difficult clients, as well as staff shortages and reduced availability of adequate supervision (Center for Workforce Studies, NASW, 2006). At the same time, confusing legislation and concomitant guidelines have increased the conflicting and incompatible demands on social workers (Bransford, 2005). Previous literature on burnout has suggested that these demanding job conditions are significant antecedents of social worker burnout (Söderfeldt, Söderfeldt, & Warg, 1995).…”

ABSTRACT. This study examines the main and interactive effects of role stress, job autonomy, and social support in predicting burnout and turnover intention among social workers. This study included a subsample of 346 social workers identified from a cross-sectional random survey of 1,500 California state-registered social workers. Adjusted for age, gender, organizational tenure, and annual salary, structural equation analyses revealed that role stress had a positive direct effect on burnout. The variables of social support and job autonomy had a negative direct effect on turnover intention, but not on burnout. Results showed that job autonomy interacted with role stress in predicting burnout, while social support interacted with role stress in predicting turnover intention. Study results suggest that creating decentralized job conditions is essential for preventing burnout, and that building supportive job conditions is needed to retain social workers who are experiencing high role stress.

This article analyses the effects of burnout in a sample of social workers from Malaga, Spain. The results obtained with the structural equations model confirm that burnout has a negative influence on workplace support, job satisfaction and life satisfaction and that workplace support has a positive influence on job satisfaction. Workplace support acts as mediator variable between burnout and job satisfaction and buffers the negative effects of burnout on job satisfaction and life satisfaction among social workers.

“…Their clinical notes and scientific literature are filled with personal and social details essential to understanding the patient’s insider perspective. Psychology examines a person’s behavior and experience “in its quest to identify, remediate and prevent mental and physical disorders.”19 (p1128) Social work often applies a holistic social justice perspective to practice that includes concepts of advocacy and empowerment 20. The ability to express, which was valued more highly by the psychologist and social worker group, is clearly fundamental when attempting to understand the life contexts that drive meaning within the patient’s insider world.…”

Objective To determine whether rehabilitation clinicians representing different therapeutic disciplines would choose to recover from profound disability differently. Design Applying recovery preference exploration as a data-collection tool, clinicians imagined recovery from complete disability in each of the 18 activities assessed on the FIM instrument. We hypothesized that recovery-choice pathways would vary among the disciplines because of differences in training and practice focus. We compared each clinician’s preference for imagined recovery of the ability to perform each FIM activity relative to the other 17. Item-level preferences were explored by discipline. The mean absolute difference (MAD) in the medians of the 18 FIM recovery preference values between each of the disciplines was used to quantify overall differences. Setting Inpatient rehabilitation unit within a larger tertiary care urban hospital of an academic medical center. Participants Ninety-three clinicians actively providing care to patients in an inpatient rehabilitation setting classified into 5 groups anticipated to have similar types of practices: physicians and medical students (physician group), nurses, occupational and recreational therapists (occupational therapy [OT] group), physical therapists (physical therapy [PT] group), and neuropsychologists and social workers (psychology group). Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Relative recovery preferences in 18 FIM activities. Results The MAD value between the 2 groups with the least similar recovery values (physician and psychology groups) was 1.78 times larger than the MAD value between the 2 groups with the most similar recovery values (PT and OT groups). Conclusions There were subtle differences in recovery choice pathways that may logically relate to differences in the cognitive processes used in clinical decision making among the therapeutic discipline groups.
