Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we conducted an interview survey of heads of children's homes to find out how they view changes in measures from their perspective as managers. The purpose of this qualitative analysis was to clarify the head of the orphanage's facility's viewpoint on the change of measures for children, as well as to clarify the head's unique viewpoint, the ingenuity of his/her involvement, and his/her unique thoughts and conflicts, etc., as the head of the facility. The results showed that the facility director values "respecting the decisions of the team" as the role of the facility director. On the other hand, they also expressed that they often wondered whether they had really done all they could and whether there was more they could do. It was suggested that these ambivalent feelings and conflicts may lead to discrepancies with the staff.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究により，措置変更について児童養護施設の施設長が管理職としてどのような視点を大切にし，判断しているかについて，その一端を明らかにすることができた。これまであまり扱われてこなかった児童養護施設の施設長として措置変更に向き合う際に大切している点や施設長としての役割や工夫についても示すことができた。これらの知見は児童福祉分野の今後の発展に少なからず寄与するものであると考えられた。
