The Role of Supervision in the Retention of Public Child Welfare Workers

Abstract

Contrary to common belief, having a manageable caseload size may not be critical to the retention of child welfare MSW social workers. In this study of the retention of 765 title IV-E MSWs in public child welfare, support from supervisors emerged as a pivotal factor in employee retention. With analyses regressing retention and intent to leave public child welfare agencies, support from supervisors emerged as a predictor, but caseload size did not. The preliminary findings of qualitative interviews corroborated these results. This study corroborates literature indicating that support from supervisors enhances retention of specially trained child welfare workers.

Building organisation–public relationships: Towards an understanding of the challenges facing public relations

Abstract

The main aim of this article is to investigate the challenges facing public relations professionals in building organisation–public relationships (OPRs), by means of an overview of related modernistic literature, mainly within a modernistic paradigm. Dominant business developments have historically impacted the broader role of public relations in organisations and society, and it is maintained that the change in the domain of public relations to a relational perspective is yet again a consequence of the efforts by business to survive in the new millennium. There can be no doubt about the strategic importance of relationships to the survival of organisations and to public relations. A relational approach to public relations has major strategic value, and embracing its challenges is vital for the profession. The relational approach offers a two-fold opportunity to public relations professionals, namely to confirm their contribution to achieving organisational goals through the measurement of their relationship-building efforts, and the prospect of realigning themselves with other business functions in the organisation. The main objective of this article is to review the change in the domain of public relations to a relational perspective, and to investigate the current challenges facing public relations professionals in building mutually beneficial OPRs on the basis of the relational perspective of public relations.     

“垄断福利”的负面效应与治理路向

公益性事业单位专业技术岗位设置与管理——以公共图书馆为例

公益性事业单位专业技术岗位设置应将岗位总量及岗位间比例控制在核定编制内,岗位结构科学合理、精简高效,岗位职责、权利和义务相一致。专业技术岗位设置的步骤为岗位调查、岗位分析评价、确定岗位任职条件、制定岗位设置与实施方案、编制岗位说明书、岗位聘用及岗位认定。完善的激励机制是岗位管理的基础,有效的竞争机制是岗位管理的核心,科学的评价机制是岗位管理的关键。只有在科学设置专业技术岗位的基础上,转换专业技术岗位的管理机制,才能营造公正、和谐、规范的用人"软环境",这是破解公益性事业单位人力资源"整合"难题的唯一出路。     

全球结社革命的主权理论反思

发端自20世纪后半期的＂结社革命＂见证了公民社会的全球复兴,拓展乃至重构了国家与社会之间的关系与制度空间。然而,现有的结社革命理论并没有能够认真对待公民社会组织与主权国家之间的关系。一方面,从主权的视角来看,结社革命固然是个人权利成长的历史表征,但它同样是一个主权观念不断被重塑的产物;另一方面,对公民社会组织与主权国家之间关系的考察表明,如何处理二者之间的关系,则需要我们进一步从关系性视角反思主权的正当性,重解主权,乃至为公民社会组织的兴起提供合法性依据。     

论司法鉴定机构的公益性建设

从属性上分析。司法鉴定应当是政府着力提供的一种公共服务,具有公益属性,作为司法鉴定依托的司法鉴定机构应该以公益性建设为主导的价值方向。为侦查服务的侦查机关内设鉴定机构具有天然的公益性,但实践中出现的一系列问题也使其公益性出现偏位．从而引起人们对其公益性的质疑。在全国人大常委会《关于司法鉴定管理问题的决定》指引下的司法鉴定机构建设过程中,应该避免社会司法鉴定机构走向市场化的竞争域,从而保障鉴定意见这一法定证据的公正性、客观性和中立性。从现行鉴定体制出发,以建设国立司法鉴定机构为向导,使司法鉴定机构走向公益性的良性发展道路．是所要探讨的一个核心问题。国家级司法鉴定机构的公布,标志着我国司法鉴定机构公益性建设的开端．以此为契机,应认真思考公益性建设的进路。
