• Žurnalo archyvas: straipsnio tekstas

ENThis article offers a conceptual framework within a decision- making (DM) context in situations, when child protection work-ers have to decide to either remove a child from his or her parents care or leave him or her in a family. Based on the thematic analysis of data from the 33 interviews, we have devel-oped the concept of DM context as a space of uncertainty which is multilayered and implies an inherent duality of each contex-tual element. The study contributed to the research on work in a private setting, by revealing the role of agency culture and public attitudes in child protection workers’ decisions. Keywords: Child protection workers; decision making; context; uncertainty. [From the publication]
