Different forms of organization in the field of social work, creates different conditions of the individual social workers occupation. This affects not only the people who carry out this work, but also the clients who come in contact with social services. This survey was based on six interviews executed during spring in the year 2010. The respondents were social workers within economic aid and their nearest executive manager at two municipalities in Kalmar County. The overall aim for this survey was to examine how these social workers were influenced by various ways to organize the municipal work activity. This through following questions: How was respective social service in the municipalities organized? How were the social worker effected in their daily work by the organization? Where there any specific up- or downsides in the way that economic aid was organized in the aspect of the social workers daily work? The result of this survey was synonymous with a lot of the previously executed research in the area in the sense that the larger municipalities were more specialized in its organization than the smaller. Interesting though was that the larger municipality was reorganized and had taken a turn towards a more integrated organization. The underlying reasons for the changes in the organization structure were recourses, control, interchangeability and effectiveness. The survey also indicated that cooperation with external operators as well as other authorities, healthcare and private institutions had a large impact on the social workers everyday existence. Even the vicinity to colleagues within the wider aspect of social services was significant.
