A Study on the Effect of Client Violence on the Burnout of Social Workers in Homeless Assistance Organizations: The Moderate Variable Effects of Institutional Interventions

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to confirm the effect of client violence toward the burnout of social workers in homeless assistance organization and the moderating effect of institutional interventions. Researching the actual condition of client violence and making efforts for solution can help provide basic safety and superior quality of welfare service to social workers. This study carried out a survey of 149 social workers in homeless assistance organizations (homeless shelter, drop-in center) located in Seoul. The major findings can be summarized as follows: First, client violence showed effects on both “emotional exhaustion” and “depersonalization”, but not “personal accomplishment”. Second, the moderating effect of Institutional Interventions and prevention was shown on the relationship between client violence and burnout(depersonalization). Based on the research results above, the implications of this study and the directions for future research are suggested.
