Organizational Culture Inventory

Using the Child Welfare Organizational Culture Inventory (CWOCI) in a public child welfare agency, perceptions of administrative and supervisory support held by employees with social work degrees (BSW and MSW) were compared to perceptions of administrative and supervisory support held by employees without social work degrees. Child welfare employees with social work degrees reported lower administrative and supervisory support than employees without social work degrees. Implications for social work educators, public child welfare administrators and supervisors, and future research are presented.

This exploratory study used a convenience sample of 792 currently enrolled BSW students drawn from across accredited social work programs within the United States who completed a 60-item electronic survey to identify the occurrence, types, frequency, and severity of their substance use. More than 93% (n=742) of the study participants reported having used alcohol, and 62% (n=445) reported using drugs on one or more occasions. Reported types of use, frequency of use, and severity of use as measured by AUDIT and DAST scores showed BSW students' substance use similar to or above other national samples of college students. Recommendations for future research and implications for social work educators in addressing substance use and stress management and promoting destigmatized help-seeking among their BSW students are discussed.
