研究顯示,社工員的議題近年來越來越受到重視,而多數的研究目標大都放在社工員的適應與壓力調適。本研究透過傅科規訓權力的觀點,運用田野工作的參與觀察的方式,參與一位新進社工員進入職場的歷程,並從新進社工員與機構互動的過程中,了解機構如何透過專業繼續教育,對新進社工員施行規訓權力,及欲了解新進社工員如何在機構專業繼續教育與工作的過程中,建構自己存在的主體。 研究發現在機構中或多或少都會聽到社工員一些不同的聲音,社工員的意見跟抱怨的方式也不盡相同,不管是挑戰的、配合演出的,或是同意下的沉默,都是社工員面對機構規訓機制協商、互動的方式,是一種持續的動態過程。社工員表達不同的看法或意見,也是社工員主體的另一種展現。 而研究者也藉由參與新進社工員的工作經驗,來為自己過去在職場中的工作經驗找到新的詮釋,肯定自己的抵抗行動,並重新體悟傅科的學說跟研究過程,再與自身的工作、生活、研究之存在經驗對話,為自己在組織中找到新的位置與力量。
More and more studies have shown their interests in social workers at institutes in recent years. However, most of them have their focuses on adjusting problems and stress management. Little attention has been directed to the interaction between the institute as a discipline organization and the social worker as a disciplined. Using the participant observation of anthropology fieldwork as the main method and the viewpoints of power discipline by Foucault as the analyzing framework, this thesis aims to discuss the process in which a new social worker, the disciplined, constructed her new form of subjectivity in response to her work tasks and the professionally continued education. In addition, this thesis also contends that the all the different voices, opinions, and ways to complaints, be it challenges, collaborations or consenting silence, at institution, can actually be seen as a negotiation or an interaction, a dynamic process, to the disciplinary mechanism. In fact, these intended differences in opinions, in a way, reflect the forming subjectivity of social workers. Through this participant observation on the new social worker, I had a chance to evaluate my work experience and to clear my doubts as an active social worker against some regulations at an institute. Intellectually, I had a better understanding of Foucault’s theories which were used in not only the analysis for this thesis but also for my previous work experience. As a result of writing this thesis, I re-discovered my position and strength as a social worker in an institution.
