“…Supervision in Social Work is one of the most important processes for professional development and continuous skills (Schmidt & Kariuki, 2019), because it promotes well-being (Newcomb, 2022). According to Kadushin & Harkness (2014), there are three types of supervision: support to professionals; educational or pedagogical (used in the teaching of the profession); and administrative that focuses on coordination, team support and case management.…”

La supervisión del trabajo social es un proceso de apoyo que influye en las decisiones de los profesionales y promueve el desarrollo personal y profesional. En este artículo, revelamos la importancia de la supervisión de apoyo del trabajo social en un contexto pandémico (COVID-19) para los trabajadores sociales que trabajan en instalaciones sociales (residencias y servicios de atención domiciliaria) que acogen a personas mayores en el sistema de bienestar de Portugal. En términos de metodología, este modelo de práctica de trabajo social se realizó entre sesenta profesionales utilizando una plataforma online, Zoom. Se recogieron datos cualitativos en cada sesión y se analizaron las preguntas, dudas y reflexiones de los profesionales, así como las posibles estrategias. Los trabajadores sociales en ejercicio consintieron en participar no sólo en la supervisión, sino también en el proceso de investigación. Los resultados pusieron de manifiesto la fragilidad de estos servicios sociales a la hora de prestar atención social y demostraron que la supervisión del trabajo social permitió a los profesionales mostrar una mayor resiliencia y expresar capacidades para afrontar lo desconocido de la pandemia. Además, hubo un notable aumento de la confianza de los profesionales en la toma de decisiones en la gestión y prestación de cuidados y la seguridad de las personas mayores y sus cuidadores formales, y también, permitió a los profesionales desarrollar habilidades para actuar en situaciones de emergencia, así como ser conscientes de la importancia del autocuidado.

“…The DSD and SACSSP (2012), through the Supervision Framework for the social work profession in South Africa, recognise the supportive functions of supervision that mainly assist in increasing job satisfaction and improving work morale. Schmidt and Kariuki (2019) explain that the supportive function of supervision contributes towards the elimination of work-related stressors and promotes healthy working conditions that contribute to increased job satisfaction.…”

“…Social workers and supervisors in this particular district thought that supervision should focus mainly on the educational function so as to achieve professional growth. For professional growth to be realised, it must be informed by the appropriate assessment of gaps in social workers' knowledge and skills as well as the understanding of current practice challenges (Schmidt & Kariuki, 2019). Joubert, Hocking and Hampson (2013) mention that professional supervision is an integral component of social work practice, providing opportunities for case discussion and reflection, support and professional development.…”

The historical development of social service supervision reveals that the professional and organisational demands do not co-exist without challenges. The tension that often manifests between professional and managerial supervision is explained using the analogy of “polity dualism”, a concept widely used in political science to describe the co-existence of democratic and traditional rulership. The study adopted a qualitative exploratory-descriptive design underpinned by an interpretive paradigm. Seventeen social workers and supervisors were purposively sampled at the Department of Social Development, King Cetshwayo District, KwaZulu-Natal. The findings were presented in terms of two main themes and two related subthemes. These included participants’ understanding of supervision and relating their understanding of supervision with experience. The recommendations could be summarised to involve the need to limit supervisors’ responsibilities to providing supervision only and to address the challenges posed by polity dualism by relying on professional supervision that offers more support and guidance and encourages collaboration between supervisors and supervisees. Keywords: managerial supervision, neoliberalism, polity dualism, professional supervision, social worker, social work supervisor

“…Thus, tourism events do not only have an impact on the economic and infrastructure sectors, but there are other sides that have a long-term effect on the positive development of human resources. Regarding the participation of young citizens in the community, civic engagement is an important key in generating and increasing the motivation of young citizens to get involved [4], [7].…”
