MANAGEMENT IN THE SOCIAL WORK CURRICULUM

Abstract

The need for administrators of large, complex social welfare agencies will continue to grow. Whether schools of social work attempt to teach all students certain aspects of administration, to give all students a base for future administrative assignments, or to prepare executives, certain dilemmas exist. These include terminology-administration or management and definitions: narrow versus wide, science versus practice, and methodology versus ideology. Content dilemmas include skills versus attitudes, and the ideal versus the real. Administration as participatory democracy differentiates social welfare administration from business or public administration in resolving these dilemmas.
