Abstract

<p>This study analyzed the working conditions of social workers in facilities that provide insured long-term care services. Specifically, we examined the welfare-related activities of social workers in a capitalist society. We conducted a questionnaire survey of social workers in facilities and offices that provide long-term care insurance services. A factor analysis was performed on their perceptions of their work. The following factors were extracted: Factor 1, social usefulness perceived in the job : Factor 2, right to self-control in the job : and Factor 3, authority in the job . When the three-factor score means were compared by the social workers’ occupations and affiliations, the social workers responsible for care manager duties at home care support offices scored the lowest for Factors 1 and 2. The social workers who were counselors at community comprehensive support centers scored the lowest for Factor 3. Thus, the study results suggest that social workers are also affected by a “worker nature” promoting a working style that prioritizes profit growth in a capitalist society where marketization has expanded.</p>
