Team Work and Supervision in Psychosocial Field of Action

U radu se pojašnjava pojam „psihosocijalni“ koji je postao neizostavan u svim područjima proučavanja i djelovanja vezanih za čovjeka i njegovu prirodu u obiteljskom, grupnom i širem društvenom kontekstu. Pa i u naoko potpuno različitim fenomenima - mehaničkim, električnim, elektroničkim, pa čak i mehatroničkim i robotičkim – možemo vidjeti ulogu psihosocijalnih pojava. Slijedi rasprava o grupnom i timskom radu, vrstama timova i voditelja, optimalnim načinima funkcioniranja, postizanja poželjnih rezultata rada tima uz očuvanje integriteta, zdravlja, a onda i rasta, razvoja, osobnog i profesionalnog napredovanja članova. Za postizanje ovako visoke, a neophodne razine funkcioniranja timova nije lako osigurati uvjete rada u kojima stručnjaci s različitih područja djelovanja, a osobito u psihosocijalnom radu, ne bi postali žrtve tih/svojih postignuća. Kako bi se izbjegle ove i slične komplikacije neophodno je osigurati provođenje odgovarajućeg tipa supervizije kojim se to/takva razina zaista i postiže. U tom kontekstu predstavljeno je više tipova supervizije i supervizora sa svojim specifičnostima uvjetovanima dominantnim područjem bavljenja tijekom supervizijskog rada, određenima uz ostalo i specifičnostima timova i timskog rada i, što je posebno zanimljivo, stilom vođenja supervizije o čemu postoje različita gledišta na razini teorije i prakse. Izdvajaju se različita viđenja same ideje „supervizijskog stila“ i stilova koji su jasno predstavljeni i opisani uz pojašnjenje optimalne primjene svakoga od njih, kao i moguća postignuća. Osobito se naglašava važnost redovne supervizije u području socijalnog rada te osobnog i stručnog napredovanja, stalne edukacije, ali i puta ka uspješnom preveniranju pregaranja na poslu, nošenju s posrednom i neposrednom traumatizacijom, pa i mogućim tragedijama.The paper clarifies the term “psychosocial”, which has become indispensable in all fields of study and action related to man and his nature within family, group and wider social contexts. The psychosocial occurrence can be seen even in much broader, seemingly entirely different phenomena - mechanical, electrical, electronic or both mechatronic and robotic ones. A discussion on the group and teamwork is followed by the review of types of teams and leaders, as well as the optimal way of functioning, achieving desirable results of teamwork while preserving the members’ integrity, health, growth, development, personal and professional. It is not easy to provide the work conditions which enable the professionals from different fields of activity, especially in psychosocial work, to achieve the required high-level team functioning and not fall victim to these/their achievements. To avoid these and/or similar complications, it is necessary to ensure the appropriate type of supervision is carried out. In this context, several types of supervision and supervisors are presented, with their specificities conditioned by the dominant area of work during supervision, determined also by the specificities of teams and teamwork and, especially interesting, by the style of supervision, of which there are different views at the theory and practice level. The different views of the very idea of “supervisory style” and styles that are clearly presented and described with the explanation of the optimal application, as well as possible achievements. Particular emphasis is placed on the importance of regular supervision in the field of social work and personal and professional advancement, continuing education, as well as the path to successful prevention of burnout at work, coping with direct or indirect traumatization, and even possible tragedies
