THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP - AN AVAILABLE AND FEASIBLE SOLUTION FOR ENHANCING THE SOCIAL WORKERS’ MOTIVATION AND SATISFACTION IN WORK

Summary/Abstract: Social work is a support profession that regards the category of persons in situations of social difficulty, embodying preventive and/or reparatory endeavours oriented towards ensuring an optimum level of psycho-social functioning at individual, familial, group or community levels. Every time there is a discussion on social work, the beneficiary and the primordially of his/her interests are placed in the limelight. This time, the attention is focus on the social worker. The subject of the motivations and satisfactions in the professional activity of the social workers, although crucial from the quality of the social assistance act’s point of view is insufficiently approached. The boldness to tackle this sensitive subject is grounded on the conviction that, in this moment, the social services market in Romania offers enough opportunities to launch entrepreneurial activities in this domain, either in the form of private practice, or through non-profit s, but also as social enterprises. In this regard, we plead for empowering the social workers, so that they develop the courage to detach of the limitative working contexts and to maximally exploit their professional potential, in personal benefit, but also in the benefit of his/her profession and of the society.
