社會工作師職涯轉換之研究－－以縣市政府具轉任資格之社工師為例

A Study on Career Transfer of Certificated Social Workers in Local Government

本研究旨在瞭解影響社會工作師職業生涯轉換的相關因素，以及社工師職業生涯轉換對其職業生涯與機構的影響。並依研究結果提出可供未來社會工作師職涯議題相關的政策與實務的參考。本研究以已通過社工師資格考的縣市政府社工員（師）為研究對象，研究方法除文獻探討及文件分析外，主要係採質性研究之個別深度訪談法，訪問包括七位已轉任公職之社工師，以及五位具轉任資格但尚未轉任之社工師。本研究主要發現包括：(1)影響社工師職涯轉換的因素可歸類為政策、組織與個人三個層面；(2)因公部門的工作穩定性高，社工師多以追求正式公職人員的身分為目標；(3)因縣市政府無適當轉任機制留住社工師，導致原本約聘社工員在取得社工師資格後有流失的現象。基於上述研究發現，研究者分別針對社工師個人、組織及制度等三層面提出八點建議，期能對健全台灣社會工作專業發展有所貢獻。

In addition literature review and document analysis, this study took qualitative analysis as main methodology. Twelve certificated social workers of local government accepted in-depth interview, including 7 transferred and 5 un-transferred. The main findings include: (1) Factors influencing career transfer can be categorized into three dimensions, policy, organization and individual; (2) Relative stability for civil servant post is an attractive reason for choosing transfer; (3) Loss of certificated social workers for some local government is a result of lack of well transferred mechanism.
