Sustainability

Student organization is considered an important approach for the sustainable development of ideological and political education, and it helps construct learning style and campus culture. This research studies college students’ motivations for their involvement and exit behaviors. Using a binary choice model, we analyze critical factors affecting the involvement and exit behaviors of college students based on social cognition theory, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and expectancy theory. On the one hand, our results show active cognition is most influential for the involvement behavior, followed by personal interest. Meanwhile, active cognition is positively affected by mother’s higher education level and senior students’ influence. Respondents who agree that joining organizations brings closer relations with teachers and other students as well as promoting heterosexual communication are more likely to join. On the other hand, the most influential factor for the exit behavior is unclear promotion mechanisms. Low-quality activities and wasting time with organizations cause students to quit. Moreover, lack of training opportunities and professional guidance dampens members’ enthusiasm. Complicated interpersonal relations, bureaucratic style, entering a higher grade and changing psychology cause some members to quit and further affect organizational learning. We provide additional insights on management strategies towards organization sustainability, such as improving leader selection and building harmonious interpersonal relations.

“…Tidak dapat dipungkiri, berdasarkan hasil berbagai penelitian, pekerjaan sosial memberikan banyak manfaat dan ganjaran (Wallace et al, 2010;Cohen, 2009). Pekerjaan sosial adalah profesi yang didefinisikan dan didorong oleh nilai-nilai layanan; keadilan sosial; martabat dan harga diri seseorang; pentingnya hubungan manusia; integritas dan nilai etis; dan kompetensi (Martindale et al, 2017;Heron, 2005;Boddy & Dominelli, 2017;Gardner, 2001).…”

Critical and Radical Social Work

“…We supported each other in ways that we were not receiving from the school, thereby fashioning a counter-space to alienating social work education (Masocha, 2015;Wagaman et al, 2019). While some scholars suggest social work students should join student organisations in order to develop their skills, affirm their social work values, commit to policy and political issues, or support their professional identity development (Cragg, Carter and Nikolova, 2013;Martindale et al, 2017), we participated because it reduced our isolation and enabled our survival (Linder et al, 2019): 'Before joining DAG, I assumed I was the only one struggling in the programme. I thought that the reason I wasn't getting support was because I was asking too much.…”

Disabled student advocacy to enhance accessibility and disability inclusion in one School of Social Work

et al. 2021

In this article, current and former social work students with disabilities consider how the student Disability Action Group has facilitated greater accessibility and disability inclusion in our Canadian university’s School of Social Work. After reviewing the relative absence of disabled student voices in the published literature on disability/accessibility advocacy initiatives in Canadian social work education, we reflect on the work of the Disability Action Group and the successes and challenges we have faced. We encourage other disabled social work students to collectively advocate for their learning needs and call on faculty and staff to better support us in enhancing accessibility and documenting and sharing student efforts to do so.
