Abstract

The present study aimed to assess occupational stress, burnout, coping strategies adopted by female teachers to address occupational stress, and the moderating effect of social support. The study adopted quantitative cross-sectional design. The sample was collected from 1,386 teachers at 86 private schools. The data was analysed using SPSS 22.0. The stepwise multiple regression, linear regression, Pearson correlation, and two-way ANOVA were used, and a p-value of 0.05 was significant. The study evaluated the moderating variable social support effect and found a significant correlation between social support, burnout, and coping strategies (p = 0.01). The results of the study revealed that teachers were found to use dysfunctional and emotional coping strategies most often; however, the coping strategies were significantly correlated with burnout (p = 0.003). Based on the results, the higher level of occupational stress and a moderate level of burnout were validated. Teachers are physically tired, and they have more to do at work than they can do in the time they have or with the skills they have. The study concluded that there is a dire need to promote a healthy working environment for better teacher performance.

Abstract

This paper talks about the issues surrounding the implementation of the Social Amelioration Program (SAP) by the Philippine government and how the social workers are caught between looking after themselves in this pandemic, being vigilant against criticisms, and making credible decisions on the eligibility of people who are going to avail SAP. In critically analyzing the issues and power relations, the paper presents two ideas: (a) analyzing the perspectives of the government and citizens on deciding who are eligible beneficiaries of the program using the deservingness theory which best describes the perspectives in play in the decision making and how these perspectives create tension in the implementation of the program; and (b) analyzing the power perspectives of the social worker, using Michel Foucault’s ideas of power, which help social worker maintain professionalism, remain optimistic about their profession, make sound judgments amidst all the noises of the bureaucracy, public doubts, criticism and possibly burn out.

Abstract

The system theory has a significant impact on social workers since the 1970s. It advocates that the whole system, or a family, is made of different individuals. In this regard, the interest of the ‘family’ or the group is greater than the interest of individual members. The system function as each part interacts (communicates) with each other. This article discusses the application of an intervention-based system theory in the practice of social work. Furthermore, it presents a case illustration of an actual case to understand the application of system theory in the practice of social work. The case illustration details the clients’ issues and how the fundamental basic systems in the system theory, specifically, the client system, change agent system, target system and action system could be applied in social work practice. The actual case illustration study has facilitated a system theory analysis of the people, the environments, and changes that are related to the clients’ wellbeing to find the most effective intervention targets and strategies. In this regard, system theories bring the environment back into the concept of people in the environment. It can be concluded that system theory is an important tool to guide professionals across all levels of social work practice.
