This study explores the working conditions, professional discretion, and resistance to neoliberal managerialism of direct line workers. A statewide survey was sent out to all licensed social workers in Minnesota, and 2,329 direct line social workers responded. Results show that social workers most feel the managerialist pressures of productivity and efficiency and standardization of practice, and to a lesser extent the pressures of incentives and sanctions as well as monitoring of their work. Full-time social workers are working an average of four unpaid hours per week. Professional discretion was also limited, especially related to macro, political, economic, and social areas of practice. While social workers are mostly resisting through talking among themselves and managers, almost half have organized in some way to address practice issues. Public employees were much more likely to be unionized than private-sector employees, but those not in unions showed great interest in joining. Further suggested research includes assessing the effects of managerialism on clients and how social work supervisors and executive directors experience and navigate managerialism.","PeriodicalId":21875,"journal":{"name":"Social work","volume":" ","pages":"11-24"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145606108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the conservation of resources theory, the research distinguishes between two primary sources of bullying in the workplace: managers and colleagues. Data were obtained from a sample of 296 social workers in Israel through a structured online questionnaire. The findings reveal a significant negative association between bullying (by both managers and colleagues) and the sense of meaning at work, which, in turn, was positively associated with the well-being of social workers. However, a direct negative association between workplace bullying and the well-being of social workers was found only in relation to bullying by colleagues, highlighting the unique harm caused by peer dynamics. These results emphasize the critical importance of fostering organizational environments that protect meaning at work, while also developing policies, interventions, and support systems to address workplace bullying and safeguard social workers' professional and personal well-being.","PeriodicalId":21875,"journal":{"name":"Social work","volume":" ","pages":"35-42"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145551018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

FSW is carried out in a way that marries social work's empathetic and empowerment-driven approach with efforts to improve financial capability and asset building (FCAB). These FCAB efforts pertain to activities, programs, and policies that aim to increase individual and household financial well-being. Such development of and participation in specialized saving and borrowing opportunities and building financial management skills are generally designed for financially marginalized populations. Rooted in social work's long-standing tradition of addressing social injustices and economic welfare, FSW has evolved significantly from its early efforts in poverty alleviation to encompass a broad spectrum of interventions targeting individuals, groups, and communities. Today, FSW practitioners address financial challenges through multidisciplinary approaches that integrate insights from behavioral finance and psychology, and they use technology to promote financial well-being and resilience in a changing economic landscape. This article will provide an overview of FSW as a field and practice, exploring its incorporation of insights from other disciplines, interventions, education, and global spread to improve well-being.","PeriodicalId":21875,"journal":{"name":"Social work","volume":" ","pages":"61-68"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145530921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article authors examine the health disparities U.S. Latinx autistic adults may experience throughout their lifespan and apply a combined theoretical framework-the ecological systems theory, critical race theory (CRT), and intersectionality-to a study of Latinx autistic young adults. CRT conceptualizes how race, along with the intersectional identity of disability, interact in the socioecological systems of the United States. Together these theories guide the examination of the dynamic interactions impacting the health of Latinx autistic individuals. The proposed integrated theoretical framework supports practitioners' abilities to be culturally humble and responsive to Latinx autistic adults' health experiences. Practitioners engaging with Latinx autistic communities, and specifically social work researchers, practitioners, and educators, can gain awareness of how individuals' social context and positionality contribute to people's experiences of health, discrimination, and wellness in their day-to-day lives. This article provides practical examples and recommendations for implementation. Although this article centers on the intersections of Latinx racial identity and autism disability, the proposed theoretical framework can be useful in identifying and addressing health disparities among other marginalized communities.","PeriodicalId":21875,"journal":{"name":"Social work","volume":" ","pages":"283-293"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144837754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This qualitative report is a secondary analysis offering insights and practical considerations for social work clinicians interested in working with law enforcement as an integrated or embedded clinician. Guided by a social constructivist and self-efficacy theoretical lens, the study analyzed 35 in-depth interviews with participants across 13 states. The analysis identified three key themes: experience matters, multifaceted challenges and complex work environments, and personal preparation. These findings provide valuable information for clinicians considering this field, highlighting the importance of prior experience, the challenging nature of the work, and the need for thorough preparation that may not be offered or standard within the work environment. The study underscores the significance of these factors in ensuring social workers' preparation and effective collaboration with law enforcement, ultimately contributing to improved outcomes in community policing efforts and responsive approaches to addressing community crisis needs.","PeriodicalId":21875,"journal":{"name":"Social work","volume":" ","pages":"303-311"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144969570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
