O recorte empírico trata do Conselho Comunitário Consultivo de Camaçari - Ba, primeiro adotado no país e que tem sido referência para a implantação de outros. Os CCs têm sido divulgados pelo setor químico industrial como ferramenta democrática, consensual e transparente, cujos objetivos são a promoção, aproximação e o diálogo entre complexos industriais e comunidades vizinhas. Ao lado disso permite estabelecer uma interação entre a percepção das comunidades e as ações das indústrias químico-petroquímicas instaladas em Camaçari, buscando a melhoria crescente nas condições de segurança, saúde e meio ambiente associadas às atividades das referidas indústrias. Dezessete entrevistas, registros de reuniões e observação participante foram as principais fontes de dados, cuja análise aponta para 3 principais características deste instrumento: falta de autonomia dos membros representantes da comunidade, ênfase no consenso e hegemonia do discurso técnicocientífico. O Conselho se constitui num sofisticado mecanismo de domesticação, docilização e responsabilização pela disseminação de uma ideologia organizacional hegemônica e de modos de governança neoliberais. Na raiz deste processo está o poder, protegido das massas e concentrado em mãos dominantes, que impossibilita a participação e o empoderamento dos segmentos populares. O consenso, considerado signo de civilidade, se apresenta mais como recurso retórico do que como prática. Embora as discussões geralmente aconteçam frente-a-frente, é permanente o risco de falseamento ou escamoteamento dos seus sentidos, pois não há compromisso explícito acerca da autonomia dos membros. As informações técnico-científicas referentes à saúde ambiental, questões ambientais de saúde e segurança do trabalhador são provenientes das empresas, não havendo outras fontes de informação para os conselheiros a não ser aquelas oriundas do senso comum. São grandes, portanto, as dificuldades de contraposição a um conhecimento socialmente legitimado, fazendo crer que o celebrado consenso é algo construído com base na omissão e perpetuação da concentração de poder. / Salvador

Social workers worldwide play a pivotal role in delivering social services to those in need of such services. Designated social workers (DSWs) deliver statutory services pertaining to the protection of children in need of care and protection. All social workers are confronted by several professional risk factors that jeopardise their well-being; yet risks specifically observed in DSWs support the plea to enhance their resilience. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological inquiry was to explore pathways of resilience among resilient South African DSWs by studying relevant literature and examining South African DSWs’ lived experiences. A secondary purpose was to draw on these experiences and literature to develop guidelines for South African DSW supervisors who may encourage the promotion of DSW resilience. Conducting a qualitative research synthesis was the first step and resulted in the confirmation of social worker risk and a deficient understanding of South African DSW resilience. An advisory panel of social work, DSW, and resilience experts assembled and formulated indicators of resilience in resilient South African DSWs, namely: a value-embedded life, having a support network, and having personal strengths, which, next, facilitated the identification of 15 resilient South African DSWs through snowball sampling. These 15 DSWs wrote narratives and were interviewed through semi-structured interviews in order to explore their lived experiences of workplace risks and their resilience processes. The findings concluded that these DSWs adapted to workplace adversities by living a purpose- and practice-informing creed, enjoying supportive collaborations, engaging in constructive transactions, and accentuating the positive. Guidelines for South African DSW supervisors, which emerged from these findings and literature, were proposed to be framed by reflective supervision as a step towards promoting South African DSW resilience. / PhD (Social Work), North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2014
