Navigating Misrecognition and Risk
Internationally, educationally disadvantaged young men navigate adulthood amid fragmented recognition, precarious labour, and social risk. This study examines how this group in Hong Kong negotiates school-to-work transitions through recognition theory and risk society perspectives. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with 12 participants, the study analyses how misrecognition across school, family, workplace, and peer contexts shapes identities…
Psychometric evaluation of the Chinese version of self- and social recognition scales
However, there is no Chinese version of these scales. This study aims to assess the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Self- and Social Recognition Scales and examine the links of self- and social recognition with the well-being and career development of Chinese young adults, considering the influence of economic constraints and marginalization. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Hong Kong from October to November 2022, …
A Recognition-Based Study of Frustrations, Risks, and Navigation in Career Transition Among Educationally Disadvantaged Young Women
The indirect effect of autonomy on job satisfaction through collective psychological ownership
Effects of contextual constraints, work volition, and career adaptability on decent work conditions among young adult social workers
Using cross-sectional data collected from 974 young adult social workers aged 21–29 from three metropolitan cities in China, namely, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, this study examined the effects of contextual constraints, work volition, and career adaptability on decent work conditions and tests a moderated mediation model. Results showed that work volition mediated the relationship between contextual constraints and decent work conditions …
The Effects of Decent Work and Social Support on Enhancing Collective Psychological Ownership Amongst Young Adult Social Workers
It has been a pronounced concern for social service organisations (SSOs) on how to foster a sense of co-ownership amongst their employees. A total of 937 valid questionnaires were collected amongst social worker participants aged twenty-one to twenty-nine years working in three different places of China, namely, Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangzhou. By confirming the hypotheses, the findings revealed that decent work and social support were positive…
Characteristics of longer-term versus transitional Neets in Hong Kong
The sociodemographic and career-related characteristics of two types of youth who are not in education, employment or training (NEETs) in Hong Kong were examined and compared: longer-term (≥5 months, n = 787) and transitional (<5 months, n = 3,939). After controlling for sociodemographic variables, multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that longer-term NEETs are more likely to be associated with risk factors such as taking a carer role…
Children’s Lived Experiences in Poverty in Hong Kong as a High-Income Asian Society
Child poverty situated in different socioeconomic and environmental contexts has long been a central concern for practitioners, researchers, and policy makers. However, concerned research studies are predominantly adult-centric, confined to specific areas, or seldom found in Asian developed economies. Against the backdrop of this research gap, this study examines children's experiences of poverty in relation to economic and material aspects, soci…
Validation of the ultra‐short scale for measuring work engagement among social workers in Chinese contexts
Based on 683 valid questionnaires collected among a convenience sample of social workers from Hong Kong, Macau and three other cities in mainland China, this study investigated the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the three‐item ultra‐short Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (C‐UWES‐3). The results of confirmatory factor analyses supported the discriminant validity of C‐UWES‐3 by differentiating its three items from other five items m…
A Multilevel Investigation of the Association between Collective Psychological Ownership as Psychosocial Resources and Social Workers’ Turnover Intention
Using a multilevel approach and a nationally representative sample of 5,478 social workers from 813 social service organisations in China, this study investigated the association between collective psychological ownership (CPO), an emerging construct of psychosocial resources characterised by sharedness, and social workers’ turnover intention by controlling for psychological demands (i.e. emotional exhaustion and role ambiguity) and psychological…
Supporting Equity and Inclusion of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Individuals in Professional Organizations
Disability is an important and often overlooked component of diversity. Individuals with disabilities bring a rare perspective to science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) because of their unique experiences approaching complex issues related to health and disability, navigating the healthcare system, creatively solving problems unfamiliar to many individuals without disabilities, managing time and resources that are lim…
Person-Organization Value Congruence Mediates the Relationship between Job Resources and Collective Psychological Ownership
Recent research has suggested that job resources are positively associated with collective psychological ownership (CPO) held by social service workers. However, the psychological mechanisms that may explain how job resources relate to CPO are still unclear. The present study aimed to examine the mediating role of person-organization (P-O) value congruence in the relationship between job resources and CPO among social workers. Using a nationally …
The Impact of Psychosocial Resources Incorporated with Collective Psychological Ownership on Work Burnout of Social Workers in China
Prior studies investigating the impact of psychosocial resources on reducing work burnout of social workers have been largely conducted in western societies, in a sparse manner, and with nonrandom samples. Using a nationally representative random sample (N = 5,800) collected from the first wave of the China Social Work Longitudinal Study in 2019 (CSWLS 2019), this study aimed to examine the impact of psychosocial resources on work burnout with an…

Results : All three health domains of hikikomori were significantly improved over the follow-up period as evide…
Expediting youth's entry into employment whilst overlooking precariousness
With an emphasis placed on supply‐side interventions such as skills training and incentives enhancement, active labor market polices (ALMPs) are strongly promoted by international organizations and widely adopted across different welfare regimes to boost employment rates. This article first presents the under‐examined relationship between ALMPs and employment precariousness, which has posed a challenge to the neoliberal notion of employability an…
A Physical Health Profile of Youths Living with a “Hikikomori” Lifestyle
A cross-sectional study was designed to understand the impacts of "hikikomori" lifestyle on physical health. A total of 104 eligible hikikomori cases were recruited from the social services network of Hong Kong with a mean age of 19.02 ± 3.62 (ranged 13-31) year-old, and had completed the set of questionnaires and a series of anthropometric and physical health measurements. Despite SF36 score of 84.0 indicated good physical functioning in general…
How do ideas and discourses construct youth policies? The case of Hong Kong

Social work with youth in social withdrawal
This article discusses the characteristics and the process of in-home and beyond-home social work intervention with young people suffering from social withdrawal in the form of chronic self-seclusion at home. These young people are characterized by their socially avoidant behaviour and are deprived of the enjoyment of legitimate social status as a student, worker or trainee. As a way of confronting this problem, 'start where the client is' - an a…
Social withdrawal as invisible youth disengagement
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to critically discuss state inaction on and NGO responses to the hidden problem of youth disengagement in the form of social withdrawal. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on data drawn from six focus groups of social workers working with youths experiencing the problem of social withdrawal and another 30 individual interviews with service users having had this vulnerable background. Findings Subst…
Hong Kong
Towards a confucian notion of youth development in Hong Kong
This article discusses the reasons and discourses adopted by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government (Hong Kong SAR Government), with Mr Tung Chee Hwa as the Chief Executive, in preparing young people to become more mature and responsible. In the Hong Kong context this means they should be willing to fulfil community obligations and opt for consultation rather than confrontation should individual or community rights be sought. Conf…
Social policy in Hong Kong
This paper discusses the preservation and change of social policy in Hong Kong in the process of its development from a British colony to a Special Administrative Region of China (SAR). It is argued by the authors that the role and strategy of the colonial government in social policy and social welfare seem to have been largely preserved by the new SAR government which advocates for a new vision for social development. It is also argued that with…
