  • Vouchers and Consumer-Directed Care

    Open Access•Wing Shan Kan, Ernest Chui•ARTICLE•The British Journal of Social Work•2021•Cited by: 2•References: 14

    There has been considerable interest in the concept of consumer-directed care (CDC) for ageing populations. One type of CDC employs vouchers that older people can use to procure a panel of social services that best fits their needs. The voucher-based strategy has been institutionalised in Hong Kong as the Community Care Service Voucher for the Elderly (CCSV). Using a qualitative, semi-structured interview method, researchers probed the experience…

  • Investigating the longitudinal interrelationship between housework time and market earnings

    Open Access•Meng Sha Luo, Ernest Chui•ARTICLE•The Journal of Chinese Sociology•2020•References: 13

    The work-to-family hypothesis and the family-to-work hypothesis provide alternate explanations for the housework-earnings relationship. This study examines these competing theoretical perspectives and explores the longitudinal, cross-lagged relationship between housework time and market earnings. The data consist of five waves (2004–2015) of an ongoing open cohort study with 1827 married Chinese adults living in urban China. The random intercept …

  • Self-Perceptions of Aging and Control of Life in Late Adulthood

    Open Access•Mengsha Luo, Meng Sha Luo et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Aging and Health•2020•References: 16

    Objectives: This study aimed to examine the longitudinal relationship between two central concepts in aging research-self-perceptions of aging (SPA) and perceived control of life (COL). Method: The data came from three measurement points over a 9-year period in the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). A random intercepts cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) was estimated. Results: The covariations between SPA and COL across 9 years were evident at bo…

  • Social workers’ judgments

    Open Access•Chi Kin Kwan, Ernest Chui et al.•ARTICLE•International Social Work•2020•References: 4

    Given the vital basis of the professional judgments made by social workers, this article proposes a framework with which to study the complex mechanisms involved in their judgments that considers three Ps: personal experience, professional training, and practice environment. Using a qualitative case study analysis, the authors apply the framework to examine the experiences of 20 Chinese social workers based in Hong Kong. Three cases have been sel…

  • The changing picture of the housework gender gap in contemporary Chinese adults

    Open Access•Meng Sha Luo, Ernest Chui•ARTICLE•Chinese Journal of Sociology•2019•Cited by: 5•References: 10

    Prior research has shown that time availability, relative resources, and gender perspective have great effects on couples’ division of housework, yet less attention has been paid to how the magnitude of these influences varies by cohort. By embedding the three dominant micro-level perspectives on housework in a macro-level context (i.e. cohort-level), this study examines each of the three perspectives’ explanatory powers for explaining the housew…

    Jie Lei, Mengsha Luo et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Service Research•2019•Cited by: 7•References: 36

    This study aims to identify whether the professional training of social workers has an effect on the attitudinal antecedents of turnover intention. This study investigated 395 trained and 353 non-trained social workers from the Integrated Family Service Centers in Guangzhou, China. It was found that professional education did not significantly alter the attitudinal antecedents to turnover intention. In both groups, a higher feeling of burnout or …

  • Trends in women's informal eldercare in China, 1991–2011

    Open Access•Meng Sha Luo, Ernest Chui et al.•ARTICLE•Ageing and Society•2019•Cited by: 2•References: 27

    Although many studies have described society-wide changes in adult women's care-giving for ageing family members, few have examined how this informal eldercare has changed across care-givers’ lifecourse and the temporal changes across different time periods and birth cohorts. Using a hierarchical age–period–cohort model to disentangle the confounding effects of age, period and cohort, this study examines the lifecourse and temporal changes in wom…

  • Student Engagement Matters

    Open Access•Yean Wang, dongping Qiao et al.•ARTICLE•The British Journal of Social Work•2018•Cited by: 2•References: 31

    From the perspective of self-determination theory, achievement motivation partially mediates and explains the relationship between perceived autonomy support and student engagement, and student engagement has full mediating role in the relationships between perceived autonomy support, motivation and learning outcomes. This study investigates the relationship between Master of Social Work (MSW) students’ learning processes and their perceived soci…

  • Collective action as narrativity and praxis

    Open Access•Raul P Lejano, Raul Lejano et al.•ARTICLE•Public Policy and Administration•2018•Cited by: 1•References: 27

    Policy scholars need to better describe the diversity of actors and interests that forge collective political action through nonformal social networks. The authors find extant theories of collective action to only partially explain such heterogeneity, which is exemplified by the urban protest movements in Hong Kong. A new concept, that of the narrative-network, appears better able to describe movements chiefly characterized by heterogeneity. Inst…

  • Gender Division of Household Labor in China

    Open Access•Meng Sha Luo, Ernest Chui et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Issues•2018•Cited by: 9•References: 25

    Using hierarchical age-period-cohort growth curve models, this study assesses changes in gender disparities in housework time across Chinese adults' life course and across different birth cohorts. The results revealed three key findings. First, inconsistent with convergence theory, the Chinese family is still a male-dominated but male-absent family, with women still doing the majority of domestic work and showing no signs of decline with age. Sec…

    Ernest Chui, Lisanne S F Ko•ARTICLE•China Journal of Social Work•2011•Cited by: 1•References: 7

    Hong Kong has experienced remarkable prosperity. This economic prosperity, however, has burgeoned at the expense of social development. Elderly people have not been able to benefit from economic development. The family's structure and functions have changed, and the weakening of traditional Confucian ethics has undermined the family's capacity to care for its older members. Public demand of the state for welfare has escalated. In light of the pos…

    Hong Kong has experienced the historic transfer from a British colony to a special administrative region of China in 1997 and faced the challenges of Asian economic crisis in 1997–1998, the first incidence of ‘bird flu’ and the severe acute respiratory syndrome epidemic in 2003. All these have aggravated the economic downturn. The government, in the wake of these challenges, has devised remedial measures in social welfare, yet painstakingly maint…

    Hong Kong, one of the "Four Dragons" of Asia, is faced with the gradual ageing of both its population and its urban fabric. Based on a "property-led" economy, the government and private property developers are eager to launch urban redevelopment projects.

The current research is intended to evaluate the urban Minimum Livelihood Guarantee Scheme (MLG) scheme, which is serving as the primary anti-poverty policy measure for individuals and families in China. In this article, we construct an evaluation framework, incorporating the concepts of equity, efficiency and effectiveness, which are the most essent…

  • An Exploratory Path Model of Social Work Students’ Satisfaction with Field Education Experience in China

    Yean Wang, Ernest Chui•ARTICLE•Social Work Research•2016•Cited by: 3•References: 1

    The present study explores a path model of the associations between social work students’ field education experience and their satisfaction. Based on Herzberg’s two-factor theory, the postulated model investigates the relationship between students’ achievement motivation, preparedness, relationships with others, and satisfaction. The model also explores the mediation effect of students’ evaluation of supervision quality and school supervisors’ su…

    The aims of this study were to assess the impairment levels of users and waitlisted applicants for Hong Kong's Integrated Home Care Services (Ordinary Cases) (IHCS [OC]), reveal their possible hidden needs and potential demand for higher level services, assess their unmet needs for IHCS (OC) and explore whether not using IHCS (OC) was associated with any deterioration in impairment. In all, 567 respondents were clinically assessed twice, over a 6…

  • Professional identity and turnover intentions of social workers in Beijing, China

    Open Access•Haiyan Jiang, Yean Wang et al.•ARTICLE•International Social Work•2017•Cited by: 55•References: 4

    In order to address the ascending turnover rate among social workers in China, this article presents the idea, based on social identity theory, that professional identity is an important factor influencing turnover rate. Employing structural equation modelling (SEM) techniques, the study found that professional identity was negatively associated with social workers’ turnover intentions, and that social workers’ job satisfaction mediated the relat…

  • Student Engagement Matters

    Open Access•Yean Wang, dongping Qiao et al.•ARTICLE•The British Journal of Social Work•2018•Cited by: 2•References: 31

    From the perspective of self-determination theory, achievement motivation partially mediates and explains the relationship between perceived autonomy support and student engagement, and student engagement has full mediating role in the relationships between perceived autonomy support, motivation and learning outcomes. This study investigates the relationship between Master of Social Work (MSW) students’ learning processes and their perceived soci…

  • Collective action as narrativity and praxis

    Open Access•Raul P Lejano, Raul Lejano et al.•ARTICLE•Public Policy and Administration•2018•Cited by: 1•References: 27

    Policy scholars need to better describe the diversity of actors and interests that forge collective political action through nonformal social networks. The authors find extant theories of collective action to only partially explain such heterogeneity, which is exemplified by the urban protest movements in Hong Kong. A new concept, that of the narrative-network, appears better able to describe movements chiefly characterized by heterogeneity. Inst…

  • Gender Division of Household Labor in China

    Open Access•Meng Sha Luo, Ernest Chui et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Issues•2018•Cited by: 9•References: 25

    Using hierarchical age-period-cohort growth curve models, this study assesses changes in gender disparities in housework time across Chinese adults' life course and across different birth cohorts. The results revealed three key findings. First, inconsistent with convergence theory, the Chinese family is still a male-dominated but male-absent family, with women still doing the majority of domestic work and showing no signs of decline with age. Sec…

  • The changing picture of the housework gender gap in contemporary Chinese adults

    Open Access•Meng Sha Luo, Ernest Chui•ARTICLE•Chinese Journal of Sociology•2019•Cited by: 5•References: 10

    Prior research has shown that time availability, relative resources, and gender perspective have great effects on couples’ division of housework, yet less attention has been paid to how the magnitude of these influences varies by cohort. By embedding the three dominant micro-level perspectives on housework in a macro-level context (i.e. cohort-level), this study examines each of the three perspectives’ explanatory powers for explaining the housew…

  • Whether Professional Training Matters

    Jie Lei, Mengsha Luo et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Service Research•2019•Cited by: 7•References: 36

    This study aims to identify whether the professional training of social workers has an effect on the attitudinal antecedents of turnover intention. This study investigated 395 trained and 353 non-trained social workers from the Integrated Family Service Centers in Guangzhou, China. It was found that professional education did not significantly alter the attitudinal antecedents to turnover intention. In both groups, a higher feeling of burnout or …

  • Trends in women's informal eldercare in China, 1991–2011

    Open Access•Meng Sha Luo, Ernest Chui et al.•ARTICLE•Ageing and Society•2019•Cited by: 2•References: 27

    Although many studies have described society-wide changes in adult women's care-giving for ageing family members, few have examined how this informal eldercare has changed across care-givers’ lifecourse and the temporal changes across different time periods and birth cohorts. Using a hierarchical age–period–cohort model to disentangle the confounding effects of age, period and cohort, this study examines the lifecourse and temporal changes in wom…

  • Investigating the longitudinal interrelationship between housework time and market earnings

    Open Access•Meng Sha Luo, Ernest Chui•ARTICLE•The Journal of Chinese Sociology•2020•References: 13

    The work-to-family hypothesis and the family-to-work hypothesis provide alternate explanations for the housework-earnings relationship. This study examines these competing theoretical perspectives and explores the longitudinal, cross-lagged relationship between housework time and market earnings. The data consist of five waves (2004–2015) of an ongoing open cohort study with 1827 married Chinese adults living in urban China. The random intercept …
