Abstract
Viewing social work as a discipline gives primary attention to theories and perspectives, whereas viewing it as a profession places emphasis on practice and skills. It is assumed that theoretical frames enable a shift from particularities to the glocal view, thus ensuring pluralism. While it is hinted that practice embedded in 'methods of social work' is limited and a prisoner of historical practice realms, what one misses in these myopic distinctions is that, in social work the 'centrality' of person/client is non-negotiable. These newer conceptualisations embrace 'in situations' and radical perspectives across all methods of social work. Methods of social work provide the base to traverse the micro–macro linkages and ensure policy focus on individuals, structure, systems, cultural norms and its consequent impact. Praxis of the methods is imperative to make policies relevant. This article presents the robustness of methods in firming policies, for addressing situations of exclusion and powerlessness, with the values of inclusion and empowerment. Drawing on the Bordieu's fields of power, capital and habitus, the article elucidates the application of methods of social work in a neo-liberal world to challenge structures that perpetuate inequity and translates the operationalisation of individual agency.

Work from home (or remote working) has become the new normal ever since the pandemic hit the world. This new normal, which represents the unison of social and technical assemblage, has been used as a backdrop in the study to explore the nature of employee job behaviour and its impact on job satisfaction. The sample consisted of employees who are working remotely from their homes in the information technology sector. The Cronbach alpha of the questionnaire was found to be .862. The results indicate that dimensions of employee job behaviour like enhanced work association, need for interaction for information exchange, and increased work responsibility were found to be highly correlated in the backdrop of work from home. Further, employee job behaviour was found to be significantly impacting job satisfaction of employees in the backdrop of work from home.
