“…It will enhance 'deep' rather than 'surface' learning (Cooper 1994). In line with the introductory quotes from Scott and Farrow (1993) and Solas (19941, developmental supervision highlights 'professional imperatives' over 'efficient throughput' and the links between 'good teaching and 'good supervision'. Given that the supervisor will require the worker to remain actively engaged in the supervision process, the probability is that the outcome will be synergistic and creative.…”

“…The data did not, however, shed light on whether the development of these more regulated expectations, or indeed the increase in compliance more generally, was resulting in more effective supervision practice. Critics in the literature warn against assuming that organisations with formal supervision policies automatically translate into more satisfying or productive supervision experiences (Cousins, 2004; Scott and Farrow, 1993). The advent of managerialism has seen a greater focus on organisational monitoring in supervision, with less emphasis on the support and educational imperatives (Beddoe, 2010; Davys, 2007; Jones, 2004; Morrison, 2001).…”

This article reports on the findings of a mixed-method study exploring the experiences of supervision within Australian social work. It looks particularly at the ways in which organisational cultures support supervision as a mechanism of practice improvement. The research suggests the need to better understand performance within the practice and supervision sphere, and create ways in which workers can be acknowledged to develop their skills in a supportive organisational environment. It argues that within a neoliberal context, supervision has the potential to assist in the management of competing workplace demands.

“…Their study further established that most supervisors used case management as opposed to the client-centered approach due to workload. Scott and Farrow (1993), and Harkness and Hensley (1991) found that a mixed focus in supervision (administrative, training and clinical consultation) was related to better outcomes.…”

The professional literature has not documented the relationship between effective supervision, an organizational culture promoting evidence-based practice, and self-efficacy in child welfare practice. Secondary analysis of survey data from one public child welfare agency was conducted to examine the relationship between these constructs. Results suggest that for inexperienced workers, there is a difference in their self-efficacy based on the effectiveness of the supervision they receive. Respondents receiving effective supervision were more likely to perceive their organizational culture as promoting evidence-based practice. Further, there was a significant difference in levels of self-efficacy based on this perception of organizational culture. This exploratory study supports further research into these promising organizational strategies for performance and outcome improvement.KEYWORDS social work supervision, organizational culture, evidence-based practice, self-efficacy, child welfare Although the important role supervisors play in promoting effective service delivery has received much lip service, there is little research into what makes social work supervision effective, particularly in child welfare, and Recieved:
