Abstract

People would like to work and have their part in the society. Working means paying
taxes,paying dues to social insurance and to have a job for earning and living. Is this really all of it? Does individual work just fulfill the entire concept of a welfare state and to make money?
A Job is more than the pure earning and living. It is a central part of a person’s life and so it is a part of self-fulfillment and self-efficacy in a human’s life. But there are challenges for social organizations to face. First there are clients who need a service on the other hand the social worker as subject in a working environment. Social work is always in a contradiction between the client as a customer and working on a “normal” market for social services. So if there is a market all economic rules of this market are also counting for organizations of social work. This crosswalk can be done by a subject-orientated view for the social worker as a self-realization human with personnel development and also for the clients who need individualized services for their special needs.
Social work must give up fiscal accounting and use economic instruments to work on a market and to match with other organizations on the same market. So the services become more transparent for the clients and the organization becomes attractive to a competent social worker.
