檢視社會工作管理的倫理議題

Ethical Issues in Social Work Management

身為社會工作管理者，除了須具備相關的管理知能，同時也須關注倫理的議題，也就是有關判斷行為的對錯以及應有的道德職責。然而，上述這些相關的倫理議題在社會工作文獻中較少被討論，多半的文獻偏重於直接服務中與案主相關的倫理議題。因此，本文將針對間接服務中社會工作管理之倫理議題加以分析，檢視社會工作管理者所需要關注的倫理相關知識以及面對的挑戰。本文的討論共分為五部分，包括：（一）行政倫理與社會工作倫理，（二）相關的核心價值與倫理理論，（三）倫理守則，（四）當代社會工作管理者所面對的組織環境變遷及倫理議題；最後，本文針對專業制度與社會福利組織提出的建議。
