Approaching the concept of social economy in the CR through the prism of social work – reality and perspective
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2015) Danihelková, Ester
One part of the current discourse of Czech social work is the issue of “marketisation” and the so-called “quasi-market” in the sphere of social services. Social economy, as a part of the national economy, represents an action field for further development of the social work profession. In a wider context, this topic relates to the search for identity of the social work profession in the postmodern society which imposes new requirements and challenges for social work. From its very beginning, social work has been expected to provide protection against the social exclusion of clients and their re-integration into society. Employment is the important element in social integration. Castel suggests: It is increasingly more illusory for social work with the new conditions aimed at integration of its clients into society. In the society in which we live, the fundamental prerequisite for permanent integration is a full-valued job, i.e. something which is actually missing and which cannot be provided by social work itself (Castel 2010: 152). Social work now finds itself in a nonenviable situation as it can no longer rely on the integration that was once massively provided by the labour market and social insurance. The role of social work hitherto has been the fine-tuning of integration in individuals with various disabilities and disadvantages. Nowadays, social work is supposed to apply the same tools to cope with the integration of large groups of people who have been condemned by the labour market to live in uncertainty, while the welfare state has fewer resources to secure these people against the increasing job and life uncertainty (Keller 2010). Unlike social work, the social economy endeavours to optimise the processes associated with increasing poverty, social exclusion, and the impact of a globalised market in becoming a legitimate part of the market as well as civil society through the activisation and stimulation of citizens to self-help and community-service activities. The priority of the social economy is employment of socially excluded persons or those vulnerable to social exclusion (Hunčová 2006). Persistent unemployment, the need for a reduction in the national budget deficit, and maintaining the deficit at low levels are all factors which cause difficulties for conventional social policy and social work. This raises the question to what extent the social economy can contribute to the solution to these problems and whether or not it can assume the role of the public authorities and institutions in certain areas of interest (Borzaga, Defourny 2001). The objective of this document is to analyse the current status of the Czech social economy and social firms. Czech social economy has been gradually defined in its form and researched from the bottom. The initial point of the analysis is formed by the outputs of the project Thematic network for the development of social economy in the Czech Republic. The analysis also includes a description of the current state of social firms in terms of legislation and finances. The conclusion presents several recommendations for the social policy actors in relation to the development of social enterprise in the Czech Republic.

Methods of Detection and Assessment of Legal Capacity
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Yashchuk, Sergiy; Melnyk, Andrii; Hladyshev, Serhii
In order to determine the initial level of formation of professional and legal competence of the future social workers were used methods adapted by the author “Motivation of professional activity” by Zamfyr (Рамендик, 2013, p. 123) (in modification of Rean), which gave us the opportunity to diagnose the students‟ motivation for professional activity. It is based on the concept of internal and external motivation. We can talk about the internal type of motivation if the activity in itself is significant for the individual. And if in the basis of professional activity motivation lies the aspiration to satisfy other needs (in particular, reasons of social prestige, salary, etc.), in this case we can talk about the external motivation. External motives differentiated on external positive and external negative.
Opportunities for development of social work in Czech schools
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2015) Matulayova, Tatiana; Pešatová, Ilona; Michalova, Zdenka
Analysis of the relevant Czech legislation in the area of education system demonstrates that there are no legislative prerequisites for establishing the position of school social worker (Pešatová, Matulayová 2013). At present, there are no institutions of tertiary education system in the Czech Republic which would prepare and train the social workers for being a specialist in the school environment. There are social workers employed in the school sector, yet their job description covers administration rather than assistance provided in a professional manner. It can be concluded, that the profession of school social work is unrecognised in this system. There are several causes of the current state which appears unsatisfactory from the perspective of social work. One of them is the fact that the counselling system at schools was built in the 1970’s. Those days, due to ideology, social work was no longer institutionalised as a profession in the Czech society. Thus, the counselling system was built as a space for providing services of specialised pedagogical and psychological profession.

What can social work seek and find in the area of civil society?
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2015) Gojová, Vendula
From the changes which have occurred in society roughly over the last four decades, and the associated problems of development (Dahrendorf 1991; Esping-Andersen 2002; Giddens 2004; Keller 2009; Keller 2011) we can select the following phenomena in regard to the topic of this text – (1) people are constrained in their possibilities to ensure their own existence, (2) the globalised market increasingly meets the needs of communities less. We can identify various reactions and recommendations as to this state of society and the related crisis of the welfare state. One of the solution strategies may oscillate between proposals by Rosanvallon (Keller 2009) and Giddens (2004). It means solutions developed in a parallel way in the civil society space, in a space which should be close to social work. In the first part of this text we will try to discuss what in this area seems to be important for social work as an agent of social change. Of main importance is the second part which suggests the possible inter-disciplinary collaboration of social work and social entrepreneurship, which could support the potential of civil society. All this aims at answering the question of whether social work could use ideas of social entrepreneurship, resting exactly on this potential, to achieve its goals. And if so, what form its intervention might take.
Współczesna praca socjalna – towarzyszenie przez służbę
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019) Duda, Małgorzata
Często słyszymy, że praca socjalna to nie tylko zawód, ale i służba na rzecz osób, które doświadczają kryzysów życiowych. Związane są z nią oczekiwania w pełni profesjonalnych usług, ale też dużej empatii wobec klientów. Równocześnie coraz częściej pracownicy socjalni wskazują na trudności pogodzenia tych – często rozbieżnych – wymagań. Pośród przyczyn można wymienić uwarunkowania wynikające z procesów wychowawczych w rodzinach, szczególnie w obszarze transmisji pokoleniowej związanej z przekazem istotnych norm i wartości. Zarówno sami pracownicy socjalni, jak i społeczeństwo stawiają pytanie o to, kim powinien być współczesny pracownik socjalny i jemu podobni. Przyjmowane standardy usług w pomocy społecznej nie rozstrzygają tych kwestii – metody czy techniki działania to zbyt mało. W każdym działaniu pojawia się bowiem konkretny człowiek ze swoimi odmiennymi problemami. Rzeczywistość ta domaga się całościowego spojrzenia: w wymiarze materialnym i duchowym; z uwzględnieniem doświadczeń osobniczych, jak i kontekstu społecznego. Takie podejście stanowi niewątpliwie o specyfice tego zawodu. Służyć drugiemu pomocą to nie to samo, co być służącym, a towarzyszenie to nie wyręczanie. Podjęte kwestie wpisują się w szeroką dyskusję na temat granic profesjonalizacji w perspektywie zawodowej odpowiedzialności etycznej. W artykule uwzględniono wyniki sondażu przeprowadzonego pośród studentów ostatnich lat kierunku praca socjalna i nauki o rodzinie jednego z uniwersytetów krakowskich na temat preferowanych wartości, istotnych dla ich życia osobistego oraz aktywności zawodowej pracowników socjalnych.
