Abstract CONCEPTUALISATION OF SUPERVISION IN SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AS A SOCIAL SERVICE ORGANISATION

ABSTRACT
Social work supervision is core in enhancing the delivery of quality services to clients while enhancing the professional development of social workers. The historical development of social service supervision reflects that professional and organisational demands do not co-exist without challenges. The tension that often manifests between professional and managerial supervision, is explained using the analogy of “polity dualism”, a concept widely used in political science to describe the co-existence of democratic and traditional rulership. The study adopted a qualitative exploratory-descriptive design underpinned by an interpretive paradigm. Seventeen social workers and supervisors were purposively sampled from one district. The findings were presented using two main themes and two related subthemes, respectively. These included participants’ understanding of supervision and relating supervision understanding with experience. The recommendations point to the need for supervisors to adhere to supervisory responsibilities with the allocated number of supervisees, decreasing administrative duties and provision of ongoing capacity-building programmes.

Key Words: Professional supervision, Managerial supervision, Polity dualism, Neoliberalism, Supervisor, Social Worker.
