'Rogue' Social Workers
In: Critical social work: an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to social justice, Band 15, Heft 1
ISSN: 1543-9372
This article explores one aspect of increased managerialism, the impact of the expansion of rules in organizations. Discussing findings from a recent large-scale Canadian research project with social workers, this paper addresses some of the effects of the proliferation of rules, including their ethical implications, and considers the usefulness of different theoretical accounts of the rule-bending individual. The research indicated that although rules did serve as technologies to regulate and normalize practitioners' behaviours, they were not monolithic in their consequences. Typologies, which divided individuals in terms of their responses to rules, were useful but insufficient explanations of the observed effects. The paper suggests that practitioners will use discretion to deal with the complexity of situations, the contradictory nature of the rules, and to resist being positioned as subjects in ways they found problematic, outcomes that support Lipsky's classic premises. Other findings were that the increase of rules, through their complexity and contradiction, promoted 'rogue' or rule-bending behaviour. A further outcome was that practitioners who perceived part of their responsibility to be change agents towards societal transformation encountered particular difficulties, because the expansion of rules impacted negatively on the availability of their time and energy.

What Will Social Workers "Will"?
In: Families in society: the journal of contemporary human services, Band 60, Heft 1, S. 11-18
ISSN: 1945-1350
Social work practice informed by the concepts of "will" and "self-actualization" for clients and practitioners can contribute to the enhancement of mutual aid processes in human relations. Learning to do this requires both the will and the ability to care in mediating between social systems and people's needs.
Do Social Workers Make Better Child Welfare Workers Than Non–Social Workers?
In: Research on social work practice, Band 16, Heft 4, S. 392-405
ISSN: 1552-7581
Objective: To empirically examine whether the educational background of child welfare workers in Florida impacts on performance evaluations of their work. Method: A proportionate, stratified random sample of supervisor and peer evaluations of child protective investigators and child protective service workers is conducted. ANOVA procedures are used to test if performance scores on a multitude of items differ for workers with university degrees in social work, psychology, sociology, criminology, education, business, and other fields. Results: The ratings of social workers' skills and competency do not statistically differ from those workers with other educational backgrounds on 20 measures of performance. Conclusion: Findings suggest that the educational background of child welfare workers is a poor predictive variable of their performance as evaluated by supervisors and peers. However, more research is needed to determine if performance evaluations of workers are positively correlated with successful service outcomes with clients.

Why Don't Social Workers Make Better Child Welfare Workers Than Non–Social Workers?

This invited response contends that Dr. Perry's main findings are really not that surprising nor should they be. It argues that he should have asked a different question rather than the one posed in his title. The reasons offered for social workers not differing from non–social workers in their respective performance of tasks at Florida's Department of Children and Families are the relative sameness in baccalaureate education at their foundation years, personality characteristics of those who enter helping professions in general, and the pervasive organizational culture in which they work. The response argues for an understanding of the sameness rather than an apology for the nondifference.
