Abstract
The study examined the contribution of macro-intervention social workers to volunteer activists from the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community. Volunteer activists who were supervised by macro-intervention social workers were compared with those who were not supervised. The comparisons related to internal variables (leadership competence and client participation), as well as to external variables (community activity, and representation), and to support from rabbis for community activity. The sample consisted of 62 activists who were supervised by macro-intervention social workers, and 101 activists who were not. The findings revealed differences between the supervised and non-supervised activists with regard to levels of community activity and representation. With regard to leadership competence and client participation, no significant differences were found. Analysis of the study findings aimed to provide new perspectives on the contribution of professional supervision, as reflected in the differences found between the activists who were supervised versus those who were not.
Résumé
Cette étude examine l’apport des travailleurs sociaux spécialistes de la macro-intervention aux activistes bénévoles de la communauté juive ultra-orthodoxe. Les activistes bénévoles supervisés par les travailleurs sociaux spécialistes de la macro-intervention ont été comparés à ceux agissant sans supervision. Les comparaisons ont porté sur des variables internes (aptitude au leadership et participation des bénéficiaires), de même que sur des variables externes (activité communautaire et représentation), et sur le soutien des rabbins à l’activité communautaire. L’échantillon comptait 62 activistes supervisés par des travailleurs sociaux spécialistes de la macro-intervention, et 101 activistes sans supervision. Les résultats ont révélé des différences de niveaux en matière d’activité communautaire et de représentation entre les activistes supervisés et ceux qui ne l’étaient pas. Quant à l’aptitude au leadership et la participation des bénéficiaires, aucune différence significative n’est apparue. L’analyse des résultats de cette étude visait à offrir des perspectives neuves sur l’apport de la supervision professionnelle, tel que reflété par les différences identifiées entre les activistes supervisés et ceux qui ne l’étaient pas.
Zusammenfassung
Die Studie untersuchte den Beitrag von Sozialarbeitern im Bereich der Makrointervention für ehrenamtliche Aktivisten aus der ultraorthodoxen jüdischen Gemeinde. Es wurden ehrenamtliche Aktivisten, die der Leitung von Sozialarbeitern aus dem Bereich der Makrointervention unterstanden, mit Aktivisten, die keiner Aufsicht unterlagen, verglichen. Der Vergleich bezog sich sowohl auf interne Variablen (Führungsfähigkeit und Beteiligung) als auch auf externe Variablen (Gemeindeaktivität und Repräsentation) sowie auf die Unterstützung seitens der Rabbiner für Gemeindeaktivitäten. Die Stichprobe umfasste 62 Aktivisten, die der Führung von Sozialarbeitern aus dem Bereich der Makrointervention unterlagen, und 101 Aktivisten, die keiner Leitung unterstanden. Die Ergebnisse wiesen Unterschiede zwischen den beaufsichtigten und unbeaufsichtigten Aktivisten im Hinblick auf Gemeindeaktivitäten und Repräsentation auf. Bei der Führungsfähigkeit und Beteiligung konnten keine bedeutenden Unterschiede festgestellt werden. Eine Analyse der Studienergebnisse zielte darauf ab, neue Perspektiven über den Beitrag professioneller Leitung, wie sie sich in den Differenzen zwischen beaufsichtigten gegenüber unbeaufsichtigten Aktivisten wiederspiegelten, bereitzustellen.
Resumen
El presente estudio examinó la contribución de trabajadores sociales de macrointervención a los activistas voluntarios de la comunidad judía ultra-ortodoxa. Los activistas voluntarios que fueron supervisados por trabajadores sociales de macrointervención fueron comparados con aquellos que no fueron supervisados. Las comparaciones se referían a variables internas (competencia del liderazgo y participación de clientes), así como también a variables externas (actividad de la comunidad, y representación), y al apoyo de los rabinos a la actividad de la comunidad. La muestra consistió en 62 activistas que fueron supervisados por trabajadores sociales de macrointervención, y 101 activistas que no lo fueron. Los hallazgos revelaron diferencias entre los activistas supervisados y no supervisados con respecto a los niveles de actividad de la comunidad y representación. Con respecto a la competencia del liderazgo y la participación de clientes, no se encontró ninguna diferencia significativa. El análisis de los hallazgos del estudio tenía como objetivo proporcionar nuevas perspectivas sobre la contribución de la supervisión profesional, según lo reflejado en las diferencias encontradas entre los activistas que fueron supervisados frente a aquellos que no lo fueron.
摘要
此次研究探讨了宏观干预社工对一个极正统犹太社区的自愿活动人士的贡献。我们对比了受宏观干预社工督导的自愿活动人士和不受督导的自愿活动人士。对比范围涵盖了内部因素(领导能力和客户参与度)和外部因素(社区活动和代表性),以及拉比对社区活动的支持力度。抽取的样本中包括 62 位受宏观干预社工督导的活动人士,以及 101 位不受督导的活动人士。结果表明,受督导和不受督导的活动人士在社区活动水平和代表性方面存在差异。领导能力和客户参与度方面则未发现显著差异。对研究结果的分析旨在从新的视角看待专业督导的作用,这种作用体现在受督导和不受督导的活动人士所表现出的差异上。
