After ten years of exploration, the policy of children directors has been gradually extended from pilot areas to the entire country. Children directors become an important force in promoting the development of the national child welfare governance system and governance capacity. This study conducts empirical research based on the Mitt-Horn public policy implementation system model with the sample of C City. Our study finds that there are three action paths among the influencing factors of the implementation of the children directors policy: goal ambiguity type, resource constraint type and organizational defect type. The effect of the implementation of children directors policy is the result of the coupling of policy, environment and organizational elements. This ultimately affects the implementation effect at the micro level through the child director's understanding and handling of the policy. To improve the effect of children directors policy, we need to further clarify the policy objectives, increase external resources, and promote the organizational governance of children directors and strengthen their training and support.

The revitalization of child-friendly communities is not only an important measure of community social work practice, but also a practical mapping of the theoretical model of community social work. The revitalization of child-friendly communities is not only different from the space-planning path advocated by the rational-based social planning model, but also different from the space-power path advocated by the regional development model that emphasizes residents’ participation, and it is also different from the space-service path advocated by the community care model that emphasizes service provision. In practice, the revitalization of child-friendly communities follows the integrated practice logic based on the community field. This integrated practice logic is oriented to the problems in the community field, upholds people-oriented values, emphasizes the participatory cooperation of multiple subjects, pays attention to rational design of children’s activity space, institutional guarantee of children’s rights, and professional supply of children’s services. This integration model needs to establish a “child-centered” value concept, to implement the methodological principle of community-based, to comprehensively use the practice strategy of pluralism.

Measuring children’s basic needs and deprivation from a multidimensional perspective is of great significance for exploring relative poverty governance and improving children’s well-being. As an exploratory study, this paper identifies the basic needs of children based on the perspective of children, and further uses the Alkire-Foster (A-F) method to measure and compare the multidimensional deficits of children in the eastern and western regions under the framework of deprivation and social exclusion. The results show that a child-centered indicator system is different from the framework preset by adults. Specifically, adults pay more attention to children’s survival needs and ignore children’s social needs. Second, regional imbalances in economic development affect children’s perception of basic living needs. Children in economically disadvantaged areas are more likely to develop a deep and long-term sense of deprivation, while children in economically developed areas perceive more social exclusion. Lastly, identifying the factors that contribute to children’s perception of deprivation and social exclusion will be a future focus for alleviating multidimensional child poverty and promoting child well-being. For economically disadvantaged areas, it is crucial to expand support for children and their families, improve children’s health and satisfy children’s needs for energy and learning resource. However, for economically developed regions, child policies need to shift towards public services and community support to reduce children’s feelings of multidimensional social exclusion.

Based on the job requirement-resource model and configuration perspective, this paper takes 300 social workers in Shenzhen as research subjects in a dynamic survey of social work in China. Fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis is used to analyze the configuration of the elements of job requirements and job resources and explore the complex causal effects behind high turnover intention. The findings of the study are listed as follows. The high turnover intention of social workers shows characteristics of “multiple concurrency”, “equivalence” and “causal asymmetry”. Any single antecedent condition is not a necessary condition for high turnover intention. High turnover intention is the result of a combination of multiple working conditions. Under the influence of the psychological mechanism of negative bias, the “attrition” effect of high job requirements is stronger than the “buffer” effect of the same work resources. It is much easier to produce high turnover intention than not to. The negative impacts of high job requirements will not be buffered by any work resources. In the face of the high turnover rate of social work talents, institutions should improve working conditions with considerations of the actual situation to avoid a one-size-fits-all approach. Social workers should establish correct values, take appropriate ways to release work pressure and negative emotions, and reduce or avoid excessive physical and psychological losses under the influence of negative bias.

Based on the samples of 235 front-line social workers in China, this paper explores the influence of self-compassion on compassion fatigue among front-line social workers and the mediation effect of career self-efficacy. The results show that, after controlling for age, education, years of employment, professional qualifications, monthly salary and communication frequency with supervisors, self-compassion and career self-efficacy of front-line social workers are negative predictors of compassion fatigue, and career self-efficacy played a partial mediating role between self-compassion and compassion fatigue. To help front-line social workers effectively deal with compassion fatigue and related professional mental health problems, the research suggests that first-line social workers should learn to apply self-compassion, set professional boundary and enhance professional literacy on the individual level, administrators should improve professional supervision and performance appraisal systems on the management level.

The competence of community workers concerns the exploration of social governance innovation in urban grassroot society in China. Current competence studies focus on psychometrics methods for competence scale development but neglect the context of social governance innovation and individual capacity development. In this study, in-depth interviews were conducted with community workers in Shanghai, China, based on the “problem-solution” and “structure-action” perspectives. Cross-analysis was performed on individual cases and their personal abilities. Results from the interviews revealed a “foundation-practice-principle” framework, which may be applied to developing educational programs for community workers.

Under the background of the rapid advancement of social work professionalization, the effectiveness of social work supervision has become one of the core factors affecting the quality of social work service. Taking the social work supervision model of Z City as an example, the paper constructs an analytical framework of “structure-relationship-power” on the basis of summarizing the factors limiting the effectiveness of social work supervision. It is found that the reason why the effectiveness of social work supervision is not significant is not only the restriction of external structure system, the relationship between stakeholders, but also the lack of authorization mechanism. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the guarantee system for the operation of the supervision mode, coordinate the relationship among stakeholders, and construct the power structure of multiple centers, so as to better enhance the effectiveness of social work supervision.

The value of social work stations participating in the modernization of grassroots governance is mainly reflected in the transformation of grassroots service concepts, the reform of service methods, and the achievement of service results. Integrate and draw on the core views of the “asset-based” community development model to promote the two-way integrated development of social work stations and grassroots governance modernization, not only follow the basic principles of policy, professionalism, integrity and effectiveness to do a good job in the construction of social work station platforms and organizations, but also carry out professional practice in accordance with the specific procedures and strategies of "drawing a map of community assets-clarifying the vision of grassroots governance-mobilizing assets inside and outside the community-implementing a series of professional activities-supervising and evaluating the construction of social work station", and using social work stations as the fulcrum to leverage new levers of grassroots service-oriented governance, and Helping realize the cohesive connection of grassroots governance.

Taking 12 domestic public health emergencies as samples, based on the three-dimensional linkage analysis framework of “government media public”, this paper empirically analyzes the influencing factors of government information disclosure in public health emergencies and their complex causal logic relationships by using the qualitative comparative analysis method (QCA). The research shows that six single conditional variables, such as technical level, official cognition, communication channel, media responsibility, public sentiment, and public demand, are not enough to constitute the necessary conditions for government information disclosure in public health emergencies, which is the result of the combination of multiple conditions; Further configuration analysis found that efficient and transparent government information disclosure includes three key condition configuration paths: technology enabled, media driven and multi effect. Based on this, suggestions are put forward to optimize the government information disclosure in public health emergencies in the future from the aspects of changing the governance concept, activating the science and technology engine, and improving public opinion recognition.
