“…The method of direct observation is used for the more precise investigation of processes, properties and behavior. 44 The advantage of observations is that with this survey method, the data on the work processes are collected in reality and the information recorded is not based solely on the subjective assessment of study participants. 44 Thus, the direct observations were used as a mixed qualitative and quantitative instrument to verify or falsify the results from the two previous instruments.…”

Introduction Physicians are increasingly confronted with new requirements in their daily job, which go beyond the mere treatment of patients. The aim of this Mixed-Method-Study is to better understand management as it relates to physicians’ daily work, to clarify the physicians’ perception of their management role and to examine physician’s self-assessed competence in these functions. Methods We used three different instruments: Semi-structured interviews, a self-assessment survey and direct observations to evaluate managerial activities performed by residents. Both latter were based on instruments established for management research. Results Interviewed residents were familiar with the term “Management” but had difficulties in defining it. Concerning managerial functions in context of their daily work, we identified three main categories: Self-management, Patient-management and Management of the ward. In this context, physicians named numerous examples of management tasks and for which they felt ill prepared. Eighty-eight residents participated in the self-assessment survey and rated the majority of the management tasks as necessary for the residents’ work. Although physicians estimated the proportion of managerial work to comprise only 40.6%, a much higher number of mere management tasks could be identified through direct observations (n = 12). Activities related to management were more often observed than genuine physician tasks. Discussion This study illustrates the prominent role of management activities in context of the residents’ work, while at the same time showing that residents do not feel sufficiently educated, prepared nor competent in management tasks.

“…Aus Gründen der Professionalität, öffentlicher Legitimation und fachlicher Weiterentwicklung ist die Notwendigkeit von Diskussionen über Wirkung anerkannt, um einer Selbstentmündigung der Sozialprofessionen ent gegenzuwirken (Thole & Cloos, 2000;Otto & Ziegler, 2006;Mayr hofer, 2014). Die Forschung mahnt in diesem Kontext Mechanismen an, die zur besseren Erklä rung der Wirkung sozialer Interventionen sowie zur Evidenzbasierung sozialpro fessionellen Handelns und organisationaler Entscheidungen herangezogen wer den können (Sommerfeld & Hüttemann, 2007;Baumgartner & Sommerfeld, 2012;Dahmen, 2011;Merchel, 2013;LobHüdepohl, 2021).…”

Zusammenfassung: Bis heute existiert kein geteiltes Verständnis von Wirkung im Sozial wesen. Vertiefte Kenntnisse sind hilfreich, um die kontroverse und unübersichtliche Wir kungsdebatte zu konsolidieren und ergebnisorientiert führen zu können. Der Bei trag rekonstruiert auf der Grundlage einer Literaturanalyse die Deutungen von Wirkung in vier ausgewählten Handlungsfeldern des Sozialwesens im deutschsprachigen Raum (Jus tizvollzug, Fremdplatzierung, Entlastung pflegender Angehöriger, Kurzberatung). Er verdeutlicht, dass sich die Deutungen von Wirkung an den Klient:innen und gelin genden Interventionen orientieren. Eine auffallende «Ökonomisierung» der Wirkungs debatte bestätigt sich in der Analyse nicht. Schlüsselwörter: Wirkung, Wirkungsorientierung, Wirkungsdimensionen, Wirkfaktoren, So zial wesen Interpretations of impact in social services: Approaches to a fuzzy concept Summary: To date, there is no shared understanding of impact in the social services. Indepth knowledge is helpful to consolidate the controversial and confusing impact de bate and to be able to lead it in a resultoriented way. Based on a literature analysis, this article reconstructs the interpretations of impact in four selected fields of action in the social service sector in Germanspeaking countries (correctional services, outofhome placement, relief for caring relatives, brief counselling). It shows that the interpretations of impact are oriented towards clients and successful interventions. A striking "marketi zation" («Ökonomisierung») of the impact debate is not confirmed in the analysis.
