Abstract: The "social" attribute of social work and the government procurement services (GPS) gradually grow into a new academic growth point in the field of social work and social policy. Exploration on the sociality of social work involves both the theoretical debate and practical disputes, and it has become a new model of social work professional mission and practical issues; the development of social organizations in the GPS, elements of autonomy and the adjustments and changes of the political and social relations brought by them become the new fields with important academic value and practical innovation. Rebounding "sociality" in the "de-socialization" crisis is the key issue of social work theory. Social trust and "mosaic autonomy" are the "alternative" exploration in the localization of the social work in China. Further discussions on the relationship between government and society in GPS focus on the limits of technological governance and its transcendence. The debate on the nature of social work, the differentiation of development logic and the exploration of practical difficulties are conducive to the cohesion of the social work academic community and the healthy and orderly development of social work in China. It is the symbol of social work research in a new stage.

Key words: social work, sociality, the relationship between government and society, theory and practice, academic community
