Along with the developments experienced since the 1980s, there have been various changes and transformations in many areas of the world, especially in the economy. These developments, based on globalization and neoliberalism, have led to many changes in social, cultural, psychological, economic and administrative domains. The evolution of human and managerial ideas has contributed to the emergence of new approaches under the name of human resources management policies. As a result of these policies, studies such as the establishment of new organizational links, consolidation of existing organizational ties and strengthening the relationship between management, professional and service area have gained importance. Particularly, from the administrative point of view, the emergence of new governance in accordance with the principle of “subsidiarity” has affected the whole public administration area. When it comes to the 21st century, changes in administration as well as rights-based social work demands in societies have led to a change in the management approach of social work institutions and organizations. Thus, the changing management approach in social work institutions and organizations will be discussed with this context in this study.
