作为一个职业,社会工作在其道德指导和教育政策中编纂了对社会正义的承诺。虽然对社会正义的承诺在我们的几个行业的指导文件中被断言,社会工作对社会正义的意义和价值仍然缺乏共识,结果是不同的,有时是歧视性的做法,即使在“社会正义”标签下也是如此。本研究通过对文献的概念回顾,探讨了社会正义如何在社会工作中运作。研究结果表明,社会工作严重依赖约翰·罗尔斯对社会正义的定义,玛莎·努斯鲍姆和阿马蒂亚·森的能力方法,以及《社会工作词典》中对社会正义的定义。不幸的是,这些都不完全符合全国社会工作者协会的道德准则,推动职业发展。这项概念审查呼吁社会工作者共同确定该行业的指导原则。
As a profession, social work has codified within its ethical guidance and educational policies a commitment to social justice. While a commitment to social justice is asserted in several of our profession\'s guiding documents, social work continues to lack consensus on both the meaning and merit of social justice, resulting is disparate and sometimes discriminatory practice even under a \"social justice\" label. This study examines how social justice has been operationalized in social work via a conceptual
review of the literature. Findings show that social work leans heavily on John Rawls\'s definition of social justice, Martha Nussbaum\'s and Amartya Sen\'s capabilities approach, and the definition of social justice included in The Social Work Dictionary. Unfortunately, none of these adequately align with the National Association of Social Workers\' Code of Ethics, which drives the profession. This conceptual
review is a call to social workers to join together in defining the guiding principle of the profession.
