The purposes of this research is to explore disempowered characteristics of social workers for marital violence, and to collect the strategies for empowering the disempowered social workers through supervision. Since supervisors and supervised social workers are a dyadic relationship, through the recommendation of 24 social workers with "mild to high level" and "highly empowered", the researcher invited supervisors who had ever empowered them in the way of dyad to participate in this research. Accordingly, the opinions of 14 participants were collected by interviewing individually from several institutes of marital violence. The results show 8 disempowered characteristics of social workers comes from the observation of participants, which have negatively impacted social workers in physiology, emotion, and work efficiency, interfered with their interpersonal interaction, and destroyed their identity of organization and their willingness to participate in violence prevention. Therefore, in order to change disempowered characteristics, the interviewed participants had used 8 types of empowerment strategies, which included individual, interpersonal and organization dimensions. The supervisors not only could use their advantage, but also could sufficiently coordinate with resources from co-workers, inside (or outside) supervisors, and organizations. Finally, the phenomenon of disempowerment on social workers reviewed, and suggestions on implementing supervising strategies of empowerment were proposed for social work supervisors. |
