Work Locus of Control and Perceptions of Practice
The literature suggests that perceptions of practice likely differ between workers with an external work locus of control (WLOC) and those with an internal WLOC. It was hypothesized that workers with an external WLOC are less likely to perceive that they positively influence clients, take less responsibility for client outcomes, feel less successful, place less importance on success in employment decisions, and have less confidence in their knowl…
Professional development opportunities as retention incentives in child welfare
Does job resource loss reduce burnout and job exit for professionally trained social workers in child welfare
Line Worker, Supervisor, and Manager Perceptions of Supervisory Practices and Tasks in Child Welfare
This article reports on the results of the Survey of Supervisory Practices and Roles, which was administered to a representative sample of line workers, supervisors, and managers (n = 1000) in 14 counties in one state to examine the essential roles, practices, and tasks for excellent supervisory practice in child welfare. Significant differences were noted between line workers, supervisors, and managers as to what practices and tasks are essentia…
The Role of Supervision in the Retention of Public Child Welfare Workers
Contrary to common belief, having a manageable caseload size may not be critical to the retention of child welfare MSW social workers. In this study of the retention of 765 title IV-E MSWs in public child welfare, support from supervisors emerged as a pivotal factor in employee retention. With analyses regressing retention and intent to leave public child welfare agencies, support from supervisors emerged as a predictor, but caseload size did not…
Social Work Students' Perceptions of Poverty
Over a period of 14 years (1991-2004), graduate social work students (n = 2,213) in ten California schools were surveyed about their perceptions of poverty as they entered and exited their graduate programs. Entering students expressed preferences for societal/institutional change methods to address poverty, as opposed to methods of individual adaptation and were even more inclined upon graduation. Implications for social work education and pract…
The California Collaboration
This article documents the Title IV-E child welfare social work project of the California Social Work Education Center (CalS WEC): The establishment and ongoing support of collaborative arrangements among 58 California counties, the California State Department of Social Services, and all of the California graduate social work schools. The primary goal of this collaboration is to produce MS Ws who will commit to helping disadvantaged children and …
Preparing for Child Welfare Practice
Specialized child welfare MSW programs and stipend support for child welfare MSW students have been developed in several states through the Federal Title IV-E program. Thirty-seven focus groups conducted over four years with approximately 550 Title IV-E MSW students in California were submitted to qualitative thematic analysis. The intense emotional challenge of child welfare work emerged in the focus groups. A three stage cognitive-affective mod…
