The Impact of Subjective Quality of Working Life on the Performance of Municipal Social Work with People in Material Need in the Czech Republic
Original language description
OBJECTIVES: The aim of the presented research is to determine how working conditions of social workers enable them to carry out social work with people in material need in municipalities in the Czech Republic. THEORETICAL BASE: The paper utilizes Edgar Marthinsen’s concept of neoliberalisation of social work. METHODS: Mixed methods side-by-side QUAN(qual) design. A questionnaire survey was used to collect data. OUTCOMES: Working conditions of social workers in municipal authorities only marginally affect the implementation of social work with people in material need. A limiting factor in this finding is the concept of social work as the frequency of social work-related activities, which does not address the quality of activities performed, only their quantity. SOCIAL WORK IMPLICATIONS: The paper concludes with a comparison of the characteristics of neoliberal social work and the research findings. We summarize that social work in municipal authorities after the Social Reform 2012 came into force shows partial signs of neoliberalisation.
