Abstract: As an essential organization to promote the development of social work, social work association plays an important role in education and training, industry self-discipline, publicity activities, policy advocacy and professional research. Through half a year's field work and interviews with staff members, role incongruity, namely, boundary overstepping or breach of responsibility, is found to exists in social work association of M City. For one thing, there is boundary overstepping in conflict of interest in cross-boundary competition, responsibility overlapping in self-assessment and entrapment of responsibility in interest exchange. For another, there is breach of responsibility in wielding full power over industry self-discipline, providing high quality of member services, having limited ability to promote professional development for social work and so on. Role incongruity is mainly caused by weak external supervision, poor internal management and unclear role positioning. Therefore, to solve and prevent this problem, it is necessary to establish external supervision mechanism, improve the ability of internal management and clarify role orientation of the association.

Key words: social work association, role offside, role absense, role disorder
