Frontline social workers usually uphold the values that they think essential for their profession. However, are they thinking the same as what their service users expect from them as a “good social worker”?

Jointly written by Dr Kam Ping-kwong and his students, this book is the first in Hong Kong that discusses the quality required of social workers from the perspective of service users. Instead of a detailed discussion of theories, the book focuses on interactions and experience between service users and social workers. Through 24 interview reports and service users’ comments, the book leads readers to reflect on the personal quality, professional knowledge and interactive skills with service users required of social workers. After reading their candid sharing, readers can have a deeper understanding of the nature of social work and know that it is not simply a job.

Many professional service sectors in Hong Kong have become well-established and entered the “bottleneck stage” in recent years. In view of this, the Research Centre for Sustainable Hong Kong at CityU aims to provide an interdisciplinary and innovative platform for applied research that will promote sustainable development and collaboration. The accounting sector is the first target for case studies. Through in-depth interviews, questionnaires, focus groups and seminars, the team has collected views from industry practitioners. Based on the data, the research team analyses the current situation and future prospects for the accounting sector in Hong Kong. In addition, the team has invited newcomers from the sector, middle management and industry leaders to write about the difficulties currently encountered in the field and to offer suggestions for practical solutions.
