Abstract

This study aimed to examine the factors that influence the decision-making of social workers through their professional experience. The qualitative research method and case study design were employed in this study. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with a total of twenty participants and the data obtained has been descriptive analyzed. Eight key elements have been identified that have an impact on the participants’ decision-making process. The chief elements of social workers’ included: descriptions, assessment phase, previous experiences, worldviews and ideologies, education, professional experiences and practice, exchanging ideas with their colleagues, and their own institutional and non-institutional expectations. Emotions and culture also form the social worker’s professional decision. The mentioned factors are a rule rather than an exception and these factors make it difficult for the social worker to develop rational decisions. To prevent these effects, the social worker should be aware of the transition between personal and professional values and take the responsibility to deal with them.

Özet

Bu çalışma, sosyal hizmet uzmanlarının mesleki deneyimleri aracılığıyla karar vermelerini etkileyen faktörleri incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Bu çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemi ve durum çalışması deseni kullanılmıştır. Toplam yirmi katılımcı ile yüz yüze görüşmeler yapılmış ve elde edilen veriler betimsel analize tabi tutulmuştur. Katılımcıların karar verme süreci üzerinde etkisi olan sekiz temel unsur belirlenmiştir. Sosyal hizmet uzmanlarının başlıca unsurları şunları içeriyordu: tanımlar, değerlendirme aşaması, önceki deneyimler, dünya görüşleri ve ideolojiler, eğitim, mesleki deneyimler ve uygulama, meslektaşları ile fikir alışverişi ve kendi kurumsal ve kurumsal olmayan beklentileri. Duygular ve kültür, sosyal hizmet uzmanının profesyonel kararını da oluşturur. Bahsedilen faktörler bir istisnadan ziyade bir kuraldır ve bu faktörler sosyal hizmet uzmanının rasyonel kararlar geliştirmesini zorlaştırmaktadır. Bu etkileri önlemek için sosyal hizmet uzmanı, kişisel ve mesleki değerler arasındaki geçişin farkında olmalı ve bunlarla başa çıkma sorumluluğunu üstlenmelidir.
