In this study the social worker-in-work context relationship in a welfare organization is described
within an ecological epistemology so as to construct an alternative view on employee mental
health.
A literature study shows how descriptions of the interconnectedness between a sense of
individuation and a sense ofbelonging creates a double view ofboth levels to form a more holistic
view of an ecological relationship system.
Organizational interrelationships are described within this framework as being congruent or
incongruent and thereby promote or detract from social work practitioner mental health.
Conclusions and recommendations discuss the usefulness of such a perspective for social work
management practice and suggest a framework for managers to view organizational mental health
and to evolve ideas for co-creating a greater sense of coherence in disrupted organizations. / Social Work / M.A. (Mental Health)
