Summary/Abstract: This study analyzes the professional status and working conditions of experts in social work centers in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, highlighting key challenges they face. The main issues include work overload, lack of resources, security threats, bureaucratic constraints, and limited opportunities for professional development. These factors negatively impact professional autonomy and the quality of social services.The research findings indicate the need for systemic reforms, including increased financial and human resources, improved working conditions, legal framework reforms, and enhanced security measures. Special emphasis is placed on the importance of protecting professionals, developing training programs, and ensuring psychosocial support to reduce emotional exhaustion and stress.Improving working conditions in social work centers can significantly enhance service quality and the professional integrity of experts, contributing to overall social well-being, reducing social inequalities, and strengthening social cohesion.
