In public domestic violence prevention centers in Taiwan, supervisors and supervisees agreed on the role and function of the social work supervisor but reported a gap between this and the workplace reality. The gap reported by supervisees was larger than that reported by supervisors. These results are based on responses to a questionnaire comprised of structured Likert scale and open ended questions. A total of 187 questionnaires for supervisees were sent and a total of 136 valid questionnaires were sent back. The respose rate was 73%. For the supervisor, a total of 33 quesionnaires were sent and 21 valid ones were received. The response rate was 64%. On the open-ended questions, supervisors and supervisees mentioned four main obstacles of social work supervision in the workplace: shortage of supervisors (one per 10 supervisees on average), overly inclusive job description, vague boundaries between supervisors and supervisees, insufficient training and high mobility of social workers. The author suggests, in addition to the current concepts of social work supervision need to be revised that in the future social workers themselves might be accorded greater autonomy and decision making capability. |
