Zusammenfassung
Die vorliegende Studie ist ein Beitrag zur Professionalisierung der Beratung im Kontext des SGB II. Auf Basis einer repräsentativen Online-Fragebogenstudie mit Aussagen von 727 Fachkräften aus 26 Jobcentern in Nordrhein-Westfalen wurde mittels qualitativer Analysen und interdisziplinärer Diskussion der Ergebnisse ein tieferes Verständnis für die aktuellen Herausforderungen in der Beratung im aktiven Bereich der Jobcenter entwickelt. Dabei waren zentrale Problemfelder der wahrgenommene Zeitdruck in der Beratung, fehlende Möglichkeiten zur Reflexion und Weiterentwicklung von Beratungskompetenzen und die schwierige Integration der Beratungspraxis in die organisationalen Strukturen und Steuerungsbedarfe der Jobcenter.
Abstract: New Perspectives on the Counselling Services of Employment Agencies in Germany: Challenges from Counsellors’ Point of View
The present study contributes to the professionalization of counselling services offered by German employment agencies. Based on qualitative analyses of a representative survey study from 727 counsellors of 26 employment agencies in North Rhine-Westphalia together with the discussion of the present results from an interdisciplinary perspective, this research developed a deeper understanding of current challenges in employment counselling. In particular, a focus was set on experienced time pressure, the missing opportunities for counsellors to reflect and develop personal counselling skills, and the difficult integration of counselling practice into the organizational structures and management needs of the employment agencies.
