Supervision in Social Work NGOs in Bihor County

Abstract

This paper presents qualitative research that aims at analyzing supervision in the social services provided by NGOs in Bihor County. We used the method of sociological investigation by means of interviews and data collection was accomplished through the technique of individual semi-structured interviews. The obtained responses demonstrate that individual supervision was mostly used and in most cases, the professional supervisor was from outside the organization. The respondents considered that supervision reduces professional stress. The main problems encountered in the implementation of supervision are the lack of financial resources and the association of supervision with bureaucratic control.
