Abstract

The blurring of the boundaries and interconnectedness between learning and work are features worth exploring in the contemporary supervision landscape. Grounded on transition-experiential learning theories, the study analysed a social service organisation as a context for learning and examined how this context facilitated or inhibited supervision learning experiences for first-time supervisors. It draws on the qualitative findings of thirteen in-depth interviews whose data were analysed using the thematic analysis. This study found that the transitioning of first-time supervisors into the new role took place through their active participation in an organisational context. It concludes with the notion that workplace learning is a context-specific and interactive process. The social service organisation, with its unique features, serves the purpose of providing an environment for learning, with first-time supervisors afforded the opportunity to learn within the context and through interaction with other role-players. In summary, the study recommends a need for fostering of communities of practice, designing and management of workplace learning programmes, and ensuring the creation of sustainable and healthy workplaces. Keywords: social service organisation, organisational context, supervision practice, workplace learning, social service professions
当代监督环境下的工作场所学习:以一家社会服务机构的监督为例
学习和工作之间的界限模糊和相互联系是当代监管领域值得探索的特征。基于过渡体验式学习理论,该研究分析了一个社会服务组织作为学习环境,并研究了这个环境是如何促进或抑制首次主管的监督学习经验的。它借鉴了13个深度访谈的定性结果,这些访谈的数据使用主题分析进行了分析。本研究发现,首次担任主管的人通过积极参与组织环境而转变为新角色。它的结论是,工作场所的学习是一个特定于环境和互动的过程。社会服务机构,以其独特的特点,服务于提供一个学习的环境,为第一次主管提供了在环境中学习的机会,并通过与其他角色角色的互动来学习。总而言之,研究报告建议有必要促进实践社区,设计和管理工作场所学习方案,并确保创造可持续和健康的工作场所。关键词:社会服务组织,组织情境,监督实践,职场学习,社会服务专业
