Abstract:

RÉSUMÉ L'utilisation désormais fréquente de la notion de relation de service pour désigner les fonctions et les activités du travail social correspond à de profondes mutations dans la conception des politiques sociales, glissant d'un modèle républicain de promotion des individus et des groupes à une vision procédurale, relativement déliée du Droit. Assimiler le travail social à une simple relation de service fait oublier que le « produit » de la relation de service social (le soin, le secours, etc.) n'est pas suffisant pour expliquer le fonctionnement de la relation de service social. Car ce produit n'est pas la véritable finalité du service mais sert de prétexte au véritable produit attendu, celui de la réparation identitaire. Il n'y a pas de « service » qui soit capable de répondre à la question de la cohésion sociale et du « vivre ensemble ». Il faut donc bien que le travail social demeure « une relation de service sans services ».

Abstract:

Purpose The technological revolution in the service sector is radically changing the ways in which and with whom consumers co-create value. This conceptual paper considers social robots in elderly care services and outlines ways in which their human-like affect and cognition influence users’ social perceptions and anticipations of robots’ value co-creation or co-destruction potential. A future research agenda offers relevant, conceptually robust directions for stimulating the advancement of knowledge and understanding in this nascent field. Design/methodology/approach Drawing from service, robotics and social cognition research, this paper develops a conceptual understanding of the value co-creation/destruction potential of social robots in services. Findings Three theoretical propositions construct an iterative framework of users’ evaluations of social robots in services. First, social robots offer users value propositions leveraging affective and cognitive resources. Second, users’ personal values become salient through interactions with social robots’ affective and cognitive resources. Third, users evaluate social robots’ value co-creation/destruction potential according to social cognition dimensions. Originality/value Social robots in services are an emerging topic in service research and hold promising implications for organizations and users. This relevant, conceptually robust framework advances scholarly understanding of their opportunities and pitfalls for realizing value. This study also identifies guidelines for service managers for designing and introducing social robots into complex service environments.

Abstract:

The article deals with the issues arising in the process of performing their official duties by social workers. A representative survey of social workers on the most pressing issues of their provision of medical and social assistance and social and medical services in social service organizations of the population of Moscow was conducted. The problems of providing medical and social assistance to the population by social workers during the global pandemic COVID-19 are analyzed. This group of specialists carries out a significant amount of medical work that is not regulated by their official duties. The lack of necessary competencies does not allow social workers to provide medical and social assistance to consumers of social and medical services to a sufficient extent. It seems appropriate to transfer part of the functions of medical personnel to social workers. The data obtained in the study can be a methodological basis for improving medical and social assistance, increasing the availability of social and medical services provided in social service organizations.

Abstract:

Structural social changes and population aging are emerging as important policy issues in many countries around the world. In particular, although early retirees aged 50 or older are left behind from social welfare services and suffer from worsening social problems, policies have often only focused on elderly people aged 65 or older and vulnerable groups. Based on the theory of a welfare service delivery system, the present study analyzed the case of the Seoul 50 Plus Project in South Korea, which was established to enhance service professionalism and integrate various services to keep up with a changing environment, considering four factors: ‘integration’, ‘accessibility’, ‘systematic function distribution’, and ‘participation’. The case analysis revealed that interconnected service content, which can improve leisure activities, hobbies, and self-development, is very important along with job creation from social services to the 50 plus generation.

Abstract:

Purpose – Blog is a web-based social activity that has become mainstream media. The purpose of this paper is to develope a measurement instrument for assessing blog service innovation, which social media services providers and bloggers can use to promote blog functions and to ensure high quality blog services. Design/methodology/approach – The study adopted both qualitative and quantitative research methods and performed four steps of scale development, including item generation and item pooling, pretest and initial purification, scale refinement, and scale validation and critical item analysis. Findings – From a user-oriented service perspective, the major findings of the study were the 18 measurement items for blog service innovation scale (BLOG-S-INNO scale), which was derived from the innovative blog cognition of blog users. One critical factor in the BLOG-S-INNO scale was further identified to effectively predict outcomes of blog service innovation in social media services. Research limitations/implications – Management at social media services providers can apply the BLOG-S-INNO scale as a diagnostic tool to assess organizational innovation capabilities in relation to blog services, and to link their innovation strategies with the innovation experiences of bloggers improving bloggers’ affection. The findings of this study also make it possible to offer recommendations to help bloggers improve service innovation to increase the experience and preference of blog browsers. Originality/value – The study used qualitative research methods to construct a pool of items for measuring blog service innovation. Furthermore, the paper conducted quantitative research methods to develop a new blog service innovation scale and analyzed the key indicators of blog service innovation.

Abstract:

The objective of the study is to highlight the specifics of the work of a social worker when rendering social services at the person's home on the basis of the experience of social workers. Qualitative research strategy was used, including semi-structured interview. The study revealed a wide spectrum of the activities of the social worker when organising the provision of social services at home: the identification and assessment of the need for a service, the planning, provision, coordination and assessment of the assistance or care at the person's home, the involvement of the service recipient in decision-making, the involvement of close relatives of the service recipient, teamwork, cooperation with other institutions, and improvement of skills of the employees. The study revealed the benefit of social services at the person's home to the recipients of the services: living at their homes, they do not feel so lonely, they feel safe, needful, capable of benefiting from the needed assistance. Difficulties, which arise when cooperating with the recipients of social services at home, are the following: people provide false information when identifying the need for a service, mental disorders of the service recipient, dissatisfaction with the rotation of the visiting care workers, complaints regarding the lack of communication. Organisational limitations of bodies providing services are linked to formalism, shortage of the staff, time restrictions for services, lack of transport, unavailability of services due to the limited financial resources of service recipients.

Abstract:

This research explores service providers’ views on the barriers that prevent women in the sex work industry in Ireland from accessing co-ordinated health services. A purposive sample of eight service providers in the field of women’s health and social care in the West of Ireland were selected and interviewed for this study. The service providers were asked about their perception of the barriers of sex workers accessing health and social care services. Using thematic analysis, three key themes were identified: (1) lack of knowledge of women’s involvement in sex work; (2) identified barriers to health services; and (3) legislative and policy barriers to providing supportive services. While the service providers acknowledged that they do not knowingly provide services for sex workers, they all recognise that some of their service users are at risk of, and potentially are, involved in sex work. Yet, they were able to identify some of the barriers sex workers face when accessing their services. All these barriers were the result to the services’ limited capacity to support women engaging in sex work. At the time of data collection, the legislative context meant that selling sex under certain conditions was outside the law. This study highlights the consequences that criminalisation can have on the health of sex workers and the need for a paradigm shift in existing health and social care services. In this paper, we propose that a social justice rather than a criminal justice approach has the potential to address sex workers’ right to access appropriate health care. This paper gives due recognition to marginalised women, and advocates for better provision of services for women in the sex industry, while considering the new legislation of 2017.

Abstract:

Social services as an object of social-supplying legal relations that are enshrined in the Classification of Social Services are the subject of the research. An attempt to compare social services with each other and highlight common and distinctive features was made while analyzing them. Emphasis was made on the essence of each social service and the legal aspects of their providing. The features of social services as objects of the relevant legal relations were formulated. Care occupies a special place among the objects of social-supplying legal relations. Its types such as home care, inpatient care, day care, palliative care were considered. The author’s definition of social care service was given. The most characteristic features of this social service were singled out. Ways to improve the essence of some of them were suggested. Considerable attention was paid to the supported accommodation of the elderly people and people with disabilities, the homeless persons and transit supported accommodation. Critical remarks were made about the premises that would be allocated for supported accommodation, as well as about the legal status of persons who have expressed a desire to receive this social service. Social support is provided to families (persons) who are in difficult life circumstances, families raising biological and social orphans, individuals in employment and in the workplace. Physical support is provided to persons with disabilities. The article gives a brief description of all these types of social and physical support. Social services for providing temporary accommodation, social rehabilitation, information, counseling, mediation, advocacy, prevention, adaptation, integration and reintegration were highlighted in the article. The authors did not ignore such social services as emergency crisis intervention, in-kind assistance, transportation services, sign language translation. A new social service, which is just being introduced and relates to providing temporary rest to persons caring for persons with disabilities, was covered separately. Key words: social services, basic social services, Classification of Social Services, objects of social-supplying legal relations, essence of separate social services, state standard of social service.

Abstract:

The article presents the basic issues concerning the legal solutions contained in the on the Realization of Social Services by the Social Services Center Act. This legal act provides new tasks for municipalities concerning the creation of new organizational units of the commune i.e. social service centers. The aim of the this legal solutions is to develop and integrate the social services system at the local level. Establishing a social service center (CUS) is not an obligatory task of the commune. Therefore the question arises if the creation of the new organizational units would be related to the financial issues of the commune. Probably the communes would also take into the account the fact that in many of them have been running the social service centers targeted at specific social groups, usually seniors or disabled people for several years.

Abstract:

The traditional social work services are mainly visits which have some problems such as inconvenient information circulation, unreasonable resource allocation, and low service efficiency. To improve these problems, Internet plus is used to reform social work services and form an Internet plus social work service mode. Although this model has a very good improvement effect on social work service, with the rapid increase of the number of social work services and the rapid growth of the number of volunteers, this model has limitations in the arrangement of social work services and volunteer management. Therefore, based on this model, with the help of machine learning, the Internet plus social work service mode can be deepened by using machine learning to manage social services and volunteers. Internet plus social work service is the main problem in this paper. The Internet plus social work service mode is formed. Then, the deepening role of machine learning in Internet + social work service is discussed, and some problems in Internet plus social work service mode are improved. Internet plus social work service mode can better improve the problems in traditional social work service. The paper also uses machine learning to further optimize the mode of Internet plus social work service, which has a good application in social work service prospects.

Abstract:

This article explores whether social enterprises are capable of fulfilling the public policy rhetoric surrounding them, to become sustainable providers of public services. It does this by examining their marketing activity within North-East England and focuses on social enterprises delivering adult social care public services. It finds that social enterprises are employing a product-dominant approach to marketing rather than a service-oriented, relationship marketing, approach. This undermines their ability to build the enduring relationships with all their key stakeholders that are the key to effective service management and fatally weakens their potential as sustainable public service providers. The article subsequently uses service theory to build an alternative model of marketing and business practice predicated precisely upon the need to build such relationships. Points for practitioners This article points to the need for public service practitioners to embrace a service orientation to the management of public services, rather than a product-dominant one derived from manufacturing. It outlines the key elements of relationship marketing in particular and highlights how this approach can contribute substantially to sustainable public service provision.

Abstract:

Services are considered to have had a tremendous impact on the Web as a potential silver bullet for supporting a distributed service-based economy on a global scale. However, despite the outstanding progress, their uptake on a Web scale has been significantly less than initially anticipated. Isolated service islands without links to related services have hampered service discovery and composition. In this paper, we propose a methodology to drive innovation from isolated service islands into a global social service network to connect the service islands for Workflow-as-a-Service. First, we propose Linked social service-specific principles based on Linked data principles for publishing services on the open Web as linked social services, and suggest a new platform for constructing global social service network. We then propose an approach to enable exploiting the global social service network, providing Workflow-as-a-Service. Finally, experimental results show that Linked social service can solve the service composition problem by enabling providing Workflow-as-a-Service based on the global social service network, and has the potential to be the next wave of services.

Abstract:

Today's world faces unprecedented complexities. Governments, businesses, and nonprofits have far to go in solving these problems. The economic recession of 2007 exposed a significant decline in public and private support for social services (Pitt- Catsouphes & Berzin, 2015) and the need for social workers to facilitate new ways of addressing the complex, interwoven problems of poverty, racism, social inequity, and discrimination. Now more than ever, social workers need to understand how social services can utilize new strategies with new solutions to address these issues (Berzin, 2012). ). Shuman & Fuller (2005) coined the phrase “revolution will not be funded,” indicating that nonprofits all over the country must devise new incomegenerating strategies to empower disadvantaged groups. Although the media reports that the U.S. economy has rebounded, foundations and governments still expect social service nonprofits to leverage new forms of revenue to fulfill their missions. There is also some uncertainty about how nonprofits will be funded long term as local, state, and federal government dollars dry up. In addition, some claim that social service organizations develop complex programs that do not match the interests of funders (Foster, Kim, & Christensen, 2009).

Abstract:

One of the most important challenges facing humanity today is the design and development of more sustainable processes those that balance the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The Sustainability as Service Science model (S^3) presents a novel perspective of the relationship between sustainability and services in the framework of service science by defining both sustainable services and sustainability as service and by describing the mutual relationship between sustainability and service. Information-rich, the field of sustainability in many ways suffers from information overload, which can foster uncertainty and confusion during any decision-making process. In this study we present a new social network framework, in which the social network is an 'information to knowledge' service that shares knowledge, in the process evaluating its correspondence to and trustworthiness within the field of sustainability. Guided by the three basic principles of awareness, responsibility, and commitment, the new information to knowledge framework is conceptualized as a platform from which to transform the plethora of information available in the field of sustainability into practical and trusted knowledge.

Abstract:

Strong social connections often deter residential mobility beyond reach of the social network. A missing link in the body of research on this subject is the significance of the role of social networks in pooling resources for costly services and neighbourhood-level access to social services. Few have explored whether assistance from local social service agencies may substitute for practical help from social networks, thereby enabling low-income assisted renters to locate housing in more desirable neighbourhoods. Relying on data from the Moving to Opportunity experiment, this article examines the impact of social networks and social services on the dynamics of residential mobility. I find that the existence of social networks in the place movers left behind tends to increase the likelihood of moving back, but this likelihood varies with current access to social service providers and distance moved. These findings suggest that policy efforts in spatial dispersion of poverty should pay close attention to the geography of social services.

Abstract:

The development of social services is discussed in the paper. The institutional care system was dominating for a long time in Lithuania. The community-based social services are a new thing for social service users, providers and organizers. The different amount of resources is given to social services in municipalities. Almost 60 percent of social service fund is dedicated to institutional care and there is a tendency to increase the funding of institutional care. The childcare is mostly institutionalised. The social service system has to be directed towards the efficiency of the system, the involvement of private organizations and NGO into the provision of social services, the priority of community based services.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide an interdisciplinary framework bridging service design and social entrepreneurship with transformative service research (TSR) to create greater synergetic effects to advance wellbeing and drive social impact. Design/methodology/approach This research provides an interdisciplinary review and synthesis of literature to establish a basis for a conceptual framework advancing human wellbeing and driving social impact. Findings The overarching framework created incorporates various concepts, methods and tools across the three research domains. At the core of the framework is the ultimate goal of multilevel wellbeing and social impact. The core is subsequently supported by established social entrepreneurship concepts and strategies: prosocial motivation, hybrid identity, social bricolage, entrepreneurial thinking, community engagement, business model design and innovative delivery. The implementation of these concepts could benefit from the methods and tools used in service design, such as: design probes, service blueprints, appreciative inquiry, contextual interviews, actor maps, sustainable business model canvas and service prototyping. Practical implications The paper uses the refugee crisis as an illustrative example of how the proposed framework can be put into action by service organizations. Originality/value By bridging literature in TSR, service design and social entrepreneurship, this paper provides service managers with a framework to guide scalable systemic solutions for service organizations interested in advancing human wellbeing and driving social impact.

Abstract:

China’s religious social services complement the statutory welfare. Clarifying the situations and characteristics of different types of religious social services is conducive to promoting their better integration into public welfare. With the help of existing policy texts, research documents, and website data, this paper employs the thematic framework analysis method to analyze texts and documents and uses NVivo12 and SPSS26 to analyze website data. We explore the similarities and differences between contemporary Chinese Protestant social services and Buddhist social services from the perspectives of the service program, service organizations, and service resources, starting from multiple dimensions such as vertical and horizontal, similarity and difference. The main findings include the following: (a) In terms of service programs, Protestant social services are more inclusive than Buddhist social services and more public in terms of participant selection, religious environment, and the use of spiritual methods. Protestant social services are more open in terms of service value and public expression, while Buddhist social services are more localized and are politically consistent with the government. (b) In terms of service organizations, Protestant social services and Buddhist social services are based on three main types of legal persons. Protestant social services were the first to register organizational legal persons. Protestant social organizations differentiated into special service institutions and have core organizations with strong mobilization capabilities (CCC/TSPM). There is little difference between Protestant and Buddhist social services in private non-enterprise units and foundations (transparency index, business scope). (c) In terms of service resources, both Protestant and Buddhist social services rely on donations. The sources of funds for Protestant social services are more international, diversified, and market-oriented. In terms of government resource acquisition, Protestant social services actively “adapt”, while Buddhist social services passively “rely”.

Abstract:

Early-stage entrepreneurs struggle to find financial access to different types of services that help develop their businesses. In recent research, complementary currency systems have been identified as promising alternatives to the deficit of money for accessing goods and services. The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of service design as a tool to create more resilient currency services that enable the exchange of digital credits between entrepreneurs. The theoretical investigation focused on relationships between complementary currency systems as resilient strategies and sociological interpretations of value exchange. Furthermore, service design tools, methods, and approaches are applied to the thinking towards social currency innovation. The resulting Conceptual Framework for Social Currency Innovation (CFSCI) highlights the potential of service design in making services more accessible, transparent, and affordable. Service design is relevant in understanding financial transactions, as it helps to perceive exchanges between entrepreneurs as services. Service design research can contribute to a reframing of issues of unaffordable services by conceptualizing service systems that enable skilled individuals to exchange their knowledge through social currencies. These new currencies make transactions between entrepreneurs possible and the service design perspective makes them more meaningful for the users.

Abstract:

Nonstate service providers in the form of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) play an important role in the delivery of social services and the development of social work practice, in particular in fragile and conflict-affected countries. In such challenging settings, NGOs also mobilize various resources, implement novel activities or service delivery models that may induce the development of social innovation; however, such perspectives have been overlooked in the social work literature. This study outlines a framework for understanding how social innovation generates by nonstate service providers in a challenging social work context. By analyzing 15 interviews from Bosnia and Herzegovina, the study identified three interrelated key mechanisms that drive social innovation by local NGO service providers: a) transcopy, b) coactive novelty and c) knowledge construction. The processes underlying these mechanisms include transnational networking, copying and adapting, contextual modification, relationship-building, pioneering novel solutions, knowledge production and transfer. This study offers new insights into the role of nonstate service providers in the development of social innovation in a challenging social work context and has several implications for practice.

Abstract:

How does service-based education influence societal sustainability? Beyond product innovation, service innovation has been emerging as a paradigmatic issue for research. Human resource quality is one vital factor for service innovation. Service human capital development (i.e., education), however, has been relatively neglected in research on sustainability. This conceptual article discusses the chain of relationships between service learning and service climate, service innovation, and societal sustainability. In contrary to the widely spread concept of gaining competitive advantages through individual (organizational) service innovation, we emphasize the collaborative advantage that all individuals can construct together by service innovation to achieve sustainability. To achieve such a goal, the education for service human resources by service learning becomes a foundation. With these propositions, this paper contributes by offering possible future research issues, and by stimulating practice and policy discussions.

Abstract:

This article describes how Presbyterian Support Upper South Island is providing services that nurture social capital in community settings in North Canterbury.One such service within the ‘SAGE’ programme is described. The SAGE programme is a family mentoring service which matches older volunteers with families and is a service that is considered to be responsive and flexible. The interconnected multi-layered approaches within this service nurtures the bridging between individual, family and community environments in a preventative way. The resulting improvements in social connection are small but important steps in strengthening the fabric of local community development and in creating a better sense of belonging for all involved.

Abstract:

In the article, based on the analysis of scientific sources on the research, an attempt is made to identify the main components of a positive image of social service and outline ways to form them. It was found that in relation to the practice of social work there are three levels of image: the image of social work as a type of professional activity; image of the organization providing social service (collective, corporate image); image of a social worker. The image of social service is understood as a stable, emotionally colored image aimed at creating, maintaining and strengthening positive public opinion about the institutions of the social protection system, the quality of social services. The analysis of the scientific literature on the problem of the image of organizations, including enterprises in the service sector, allowed to identify and present the essential characteristics of the main elements of the image of the organization that provides social services. These are: the internal image of the social service, the image of services, the image of information accessibility, the external image of the organization, the image of its head. Emphasis is placed on the fact that all these elements are closely intertwined, forming the overall image of social service, and affect each other. Therefore, the formation of a positive image is a complex purposeful process. This is not one or more individual activities, but the whole system of the organization. To create a positive image requires a system of measures not one-time, but permanent. Managers of social services need to systematically evaluate and adjust their activities to create the image of the institution and only in this case can expect long-term success.

Abstract:

Mashup is a user-centric approach to create value-added new services by utilizing and recombining existing service components. However, as services become increasingly more spontaneous and prevalent on the Internet, finding suitable services from which to develop a mashup based on users’ explicit and implicit requirements remains a daunting task. Several approaches already exist for recommending specific services for users but they are limited to proposing only services with similar functionality. In order to recommend a set of suitable services for a general mashup based on users’ functional specifications, a novel social-aware service recommendation approach, where multi-dimensional social relationships among potential users, topics, mashups, and services are described by a coupled matrices model, is proposed in this paper. Accordingly, a factorization algorithm is designed to predict unobserved relationships, and we use a genetic algorithm to learn some specific parameters, and then construct a comprehensive service recommendation model. Experimental results for a realistic mashup data set indicate that the proposed approach outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.
