Which one of the following is a principle of social welfare administration ?

  • A.Principle of Agency Purpose
  • B.Principle of Self-Determination
  • C.Principle of Planning
  • D.Principle of Programming

Answer: A

The keyed answer is the principle of agency purpose.

In Harleigh Trecker's account of social work administration, the principles of policy and administration begin from the agency's purpose: policies and the whole programme must be grounded in what the agency exists to do. That is why agency purpose is listed as a principle of social welfare administration.

Self-determination (B) is a basic principle of social casework and group work, not of administration. Planning (C) and programming (D) are functions or stages of administration rather than principles on the list the key follows. I could not confirm a published list that excludes planning, and planning is sometimes called a principle of general administration, so this question rests on the keyed textbook list.
