Thriving in Program Management Environments

Abstract

The shifts in hospitals from single-site functionally organized university and community hospitals to multilayered, mega institutions have had dramatic effects on social work practice. Through this longitudinal research we examine, using a strengths perspective and qualitative interviews, the strategies social workers in 22 hospitals across Ontario, Canada, utilized to survive and thrive. The findings identify the importance of clearly articulating one's value to the organization, staying current, and being flexible.
