Minimum Income Standards in Israel
Recent years have seen a growing interest in the creation of Minimum Income Standards (MIS). The impetus for this is the belief that governments that do not employ MIS to set income support can ultimately be persuaded to do so. Even as scholars recognize the many hurdles in the way of an MIS's acceptance, they nonetheless hope, and seem to expect, that the hurdles can be overcome and the political will be created to adopt empirical MIS that would…
Poverty, Government Policy and Public Opinion in Britain and Israel
What are the effects of public opinion on social welfare policies? To what extent is increased financial strain associated with stronger support for anti-poverty policies? This article tests welfare state theory by comparing poverty, government policy and public opinion on poverty in the UK and Israel, based on rich and detailed comparable survey data on the conditions of the poor in both countries. The results show that, despite similar levels o…
Social Workers Serving Poor Clients
This qualitative study extends current research on social workers' perceptions of poverty and the views of their roles by investigating how these perceptions are manifested in actions. How are the perceptions of poverty, poor clients, and the roles and the responsibilities of social work directors of council social services in Israel reflected in their definition and implementation of the services’ poverty related policy, i.e., the services they …
An Empirical Analysis of the Interrelationship between Components of the Social Quality Theoretical Construct
Health care for the poor-An exploration of primary-care physicians' perceptions of poor patients and of their helping behaviors
Thinking Processes in Social Workers' Use of a Clinical Decision Support System
The authors examined the thinking processes in the use of a decision support system (DSS) by social workers in a human services agency to determine whether they used the system to improve their case reasoning. Information was obtained from in-depth interviews with eight social workers who used a DSS in their work and from content analysis of “narrative justifications” appended to 1,074 decisions that differed from those recommended by the DSS. Fi…
Equity Perceptions as a Determinant of Computer User Satisfaction in Human Services
This study employs Joshi's “equity implementation theory” to examine acceptance of computerization among 272 human service workers in three large, public social service agencies in Israel. This theory holds that worker acceptance of computer technology is contingent on both the perceived gains and losses the CT brings the worker and the comparative gains and losses to the workers' peers and managers. The findings showed that the more the perceive…
Computer Systems that Work
The objective of this study is to provide system developers with a framework to classify variables that influence computer use, and to assess their different roles in this respect. To that end, variables from thirty-five studies were identified, classified and reviewed for their effect on system use. Process variables including participation and involvement were the strongest predictors. Second in strength were system attributes such as perceived…
