社会工作协会功能角色研究

A Study on Functional Roles of Associations of Social Work in China

本文采用文献法和观察法,基于近年各地社会工作协会发展实践的考察,发现在"政社分开"的社会体制改革和以改善民生为重点的社会建设以及适度普惠型社会福利制度构建的进程中,社会工作成为政府创新社会治理和发展社会服务的中坚力量。而随着社会工作人才队伍和社会工作机构数量迅猛增长,地方政府纷纷依托社会工作协会对本地社会工作发展事务进行管理和服务。从实践来看,社会工作协会对推动社会工作本土化、专业化、职业化有着极其重要的作用,它扮演着"社会的助推器、政府的合伙人、社会工作者的监护人、社会工作机构的领路人"四种功能角色。
