Knowledge Application and Improvement Ideas for In-service Social Work Professionals

Abstract

Social work professionals are an indispensable force for building a harmonious socialist society as well as strengthening and innovating social management. This article analyzed the salary, job satisfaction, and knowledge application of social work professionals in Nanjing (NJ) by means of a survey questionnaire and found that although most professional social workers are relatively satisfied with their jobs in addition to the effective application of their knowledge, a certain percentage of the respondents reported that the knowledge that they had learned at school were not consistent with the actual needs of work, which affected their income levels and job satisfactions. For this reason, it is suggested that a variety of measures should be taken to improve the quality of professional education of social work and enhance the competitiveness as well as the recognition of the social work profession.
