The Contribution of Macro-intervention Social Workers to the Success of Volunteer Community Activists

Abstract  

The study examined the contribution of macro-intervention social workers to volunteer activists from the ultra-Orthodox Jewish
community. Volunteer activists who were supervised by macro-intervention social workers were compared with those who were
not supervised. The comparisons related to internal variables (leadership competence and client participation), as well as
to external variables (community activity, and representation), and to support from rabbis for community activity. The sample
consisted of 62 activists who were supervised by macro-intervention social workers, and 101 activists who were not. The findings
revealed differences between the supervised and non-supervised activists with regard to levels of community activity and representation.
With regard to leadership competence and client participation, no significant differences were found. Analysis of the study
findings aimed to provide new perspectives on the contribution of professional supervision, as reflected in the differences
found between the activists who were supervised versus those who were not.
