Thesis(PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 1996. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The study is focussed on the evaluation of the development of
participatory management in supervision. The motivation for the
study was, firstly, the increasing transformation of supervision
to a more managerial form whereby social workers are guided in
the fulfilment of their professional obligations; secondly, that
social workers and supervisors expressed an increasing desire and
wi 11 ingness to share the responsibi 1 i ty of managing direct
practice through participation.
The research was conducted within the conceptual framework of
developmental research. The investigation of the existing state
of supervision was undertaken by means of a literature study, as
well as a quantitative-and qualitative survey among supervisors
and their supervisees. This survey was also used to evaluate how
developments in the theory and practice of participatory
management was being brought into supervision.
The probability that participatory management would continue to
be implemented and developed in practice is high, since it is
bedded in a scientifically-sound conceptual basis derived from
authoritative literature and empirical support.
Practising supervisors and supervisees can continue to apply
participatory management in the ongoing reformation and
restructuring of their management of direct practice. It could
also contribute towards the improved quality of direct practice.
The implementation of participatory management should go'beyond
organisational limits. It should extend to the profession's
accountability to the wider client system, which should be made
aware of changes in the approach to direct practice management
in the form of greater participation between seniors and
subordinates.
It is regarded as essential that participatory management
approaches be subjected to tests to determine their efficacy,
validity, and reliability as practice methods in supervision.
Follow-up evaluation would help in the further development of
participatory management in supervision. Further research with
regard to participatory management is necessary with the view to
maintaining its features in conformity with contemporary trends
in the continuous reconceptualisation of management theory and
practices. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie is 'n evaluering van die ontwikkeling van
deelnemende bestuur in supervisie. Die motivering vir die studie
was eerstens die toEmemende ontwikkeling van supervisie tot 'n
meer bestuursgerigte vorm wat maatskapl ike werkers in die ui tvoer
van hulle professionele pligte rig; tweedens, dat maatskaplike
werkers en supervisors 'n toenemende behoefte en bereidwilligheid
te kenne gegee het om die verantwoordelikheid van praktykbestuur
te deel.
Die navorsing is binne die konsepsuele raamwerk van
ontwikkelingsnavorsing onderneem. Die huidige stand van
supervisie is deur middel van 'n literatuurstudie ondersoek,
asook deur 'n kwantitatiewe en kwalitatiewe opname ender
supervisors en maatskapl ike werkers. Hierdie opname is ook
gebruik om te eval ueer hoe ontwikkel inge in die teorie en praktyk
van deelnemende bestuur by supervisie ingesluit word.
Deelnemende bestuur sal hoogs waarskynlik voortgaan om in die
praktyk ge'implementeer en ontwikkel te word, aangesien di t op 'n
wetenskaplik gesonde konsepsuele grondslag berus wat deur
gesaghebbende literatuur en empiriese gegewens gerugsteun word.
Supervisors en maatskaplike werkers kan voortgaan om deelnemende
bestuur te gebruik in die voortdurende verbetering en
herstrukturering van die bestuur van hul praktyke. Deelnemende
bestuur kan ook die gehalte van direkte dienslewering verbeter.
Die implementering van deelnemende bestuur behoort nie deur
organisatoriese grense ingeperk te word nie, maar behoort
uitgebrei te word tot die beroep se aanspreeklikheid teenoor die
bre~r kli~ntestelsel deur bewusmaking van veranderinge in die
benadering tot praktykbestuur in die vorm van groter deelname
tussen seniors en ondergeskiktes.
Di t is noodsaakl ik om benaderings tot deelnemende bestuur te
toets om hul doeltreffendheid, geldigheid en betroubaarheid as
praktykmetodes in supervisie te bepaal. Opvolg-evaluering sou
'n verdere hydrae tot die ontwikkeling van deelnemende bestuur
in supervisie maak. Meer navorsing oor deelnemende bestuur is
ook nodig om tred te hou met huidige tendense in die volgehoue
herkonsepsualisering van bestuursteorie en -praktyke.
