1. Introduction

Professional values play an important role in the workplace and also allow us to conduct work in an efficient manner. In the field of social work, there are different values which are required to be maintained for ensuring better communication with different people. In this report, the discussion is mainly focussed on four different domains based on the human services which are required to be followed for the conduction of various tasks. Along with the discussion of different domains a proper concept of social justice is also offered for better understanding. In this study, the discussion is also made on the challenges which can rise during social services on both ends. Discussion is also focussed on different theories that were made for relating the task with the concept of social justice. 

2. Main (four) domains of human service

The different organisation follows four primary human services for determining the performance of competencies in an efficient manner (Fargion, Sanfelici, & Sicora, 2020). The four main human service indicators are "Executive Leadership, Resource Management, Strategic Management and Community Collaboration". Effective leadership can be used in the human resource departments for different social services for empowering different staff and allow them to overcome other challenges in their respective jobs. It also allows the staff to maintain all the needs and requirement of the organisation and allow them to deal with various clients in an effective manner (Fletcher-Watson et al. 2019). Effective leadership also allow employees from different departments to collaborate and perform a different task together. Proper communication is also ensured between other teams and departments so that all the targets can be fulfilled in an efficient manner. 

In social service empowering all the staff plays an important role as different challenges can be overcome and also different indicators can also be maintained in an efficient manner. Effective leadership also ensures the longevity of an organisation in an efficient manner. This part allows the management to deal effectively and manage the entire money and capital of the organisation in a better way. While performing various tasks proper planning and scheduling are also required for the betterment of the task and for proper execution. All these aspects are maintained with the help of resource management and also help to achieve all the targets of the organization (Gauthier, 2020). All the resources which are being used by an organisation are required to be used in a proper manner so that most of the objectives based on social work can be achieved in an appropriate manner. It also allows the management to implement various strategies in the business so that all the employees can be managed efficiently. It also allows the adoption of various communication strategies so that better interaction can be made with different employees. 

The resource is important to be used in the business so that proper skills can be identified for carrying out the required work, proper utilisation of the available resources, dealing effectively with different clients and many others. It also allows the workers to meet all the deadlines and perform various tasks as per the schedule which was prepared (Imron et al. 2020). Different budgets can also be maintained in this case along with all the equipment which are required for carrying out the job. Community collaboration is a process which allows one to take decisions easily and also to work based on the decision for the betterment of the task which is required to be conducted. It also determines the behaviours of the person working in the community and different responsibilities are provided to different people based on their qualifications. Community collaboration is a technique being used for dealing effectively with different people in an effective manner for the conduction of various tasks. It also allows the organisations to be in a situation in which the percentage of winning (Laukkanen, M., & Tura, 2020). It also provides the workers with a proper direction which can be followed for achieving all the targets and conducting various tasks in an appropriate manner. 

Strategic management is another factor which is required to be taken into consideration so that a proper plan can be made for dealing with all the workers. It also allows the management to establish different plans based on which different social services can be conducted and remain competitive in the business (Laukkanen, & Tura, 2020). There are different stages which are required to be followed in this aspect like a clear vision is required for the conduction of the task, proper and relevant information are also required to be gathered so that better execution of the work can be done. It also allows the management to develop different strategies so that a proper evaluation and analysis can be conducted based on the information which was gathered. All these things are to be maintained in the case of social service (McCormick et al. 2021). These are some of the main factors which are required to be managed for better execution of the work. 

3. Concept of social justice

Social justice is a view which provides every person in the country to enjoy different rights. Different communities are liable to enjoy economic, demographic and many other rights as per the government. It also states that every person must be treated equally and a fair chance must be provided to different people for justifications (Mittelstadt, 2019). Different marginal groups and communities of a country can enjoy all these rights. Different steps are also being followed like educating all the people about the culture which is being followed all over without disrespecting the community. Proper health services are also provided to different people so that a healthy and proper life can be lived. There are certain principles which are being followed for offering proper social justice to everyone. The main principles of social justice are "equity, access, participation and rights". All these principles allow people to enjoy fair distribution of all the resources which are available, must have access to various goods which are required to live life properly. Along with all these people from different groups are allowed to participate in the different fest and cultural programs and demonstrate the way by which they live. All these rights also protect the belive of different people from different circumstances (Laukkanen, & Tura, 2020). This social justice also provides all the people with a chance to appeal and proper justifications are also being done based on the law of the country. 

4. Social barriers faced by both clients and workers within community service sector

            The functions corresponding to responsible changes of social workers energize the relationship of sustaining progressive motives and connectedness between central ideas. Propagation of oriented structure is visualized on ensuring the development in relative response on consecutive work. Methods of signifying multiple changes have been evaluated in the strength of promoting hard description and organic function of distinguishing random change (Mousaviasl et al. 2019). In responding to social barriers it compounds over higher change and relation on isolation and equality. Social barriers compounds on the narration of describing constant opportunity and contribution over higher development. It resists on the correlative strength to maintain productive lives and signifies changes in the scheduling of work and constant representation of social service (Pecukonis, 2020). The corporative term of opposition conducts the relation between career formation and substitutes on the variance of growth and eventual support. In dealing with multiple changes it collides with a division of predicting human relations and brings acknowledgement to dividend structure.

            The barriers are involved such as aggregated knowledge of correlative information and representatives of health originators. Opposition contradicted the service authorization of social work and appropriate in the marginal effort (Fargion, Sanfelici, & Sicora, 2020). Responsive challenges work in the compounder method of initiating potential gain and contribution of new decision to transfer different diversity of changes and recognition of improving stability and position of work relation (Peters, 2020). In margining the response of employees there are corresponding differences to relate between communication barriers and maintenance of leadership control.

            Supportive differentiation works in relation to collaboration and value referred in performance. Elaborative stability confines a task management that brings allotment view higher logistics in an efficient manner (Santoro, 2021). Responsive relation on work agenda recovers on social service to remark on sufficient importance to work on different challenges which can be extended to improve quality support and contribution under the maintained feature of leaders (Ramsaroop & Petersen, 2020). The self-centric response and relationship on appearing longer zone in responsive marketed of social distinction and allows to contribute on the business field. The ransom function has navigated issues of measuring clauses and support of business-oriented graphical terms and function of the business.

5. Theoretical approaches supporting professional community service work

            The perspective relating to the theoretical approval employment action has procured higher support of business orienting and consumer change. Management on the development of leadership states on setting higher versions of ensuring challenges in response to social cognitive theory. It hence resists permission for basic changes in recovering efficient statements to work on corresponding changes (Sokhey, 2020). The progress of orientation connects to social learning where it represents changes in organizational workers in viewing particular changes on observation. The individual sets of this theory respond to changes and imitations to improve attention to active action and retain the action in significant transformation. Leading to the approach it suspects' an individual must experience a situation where the behaviour can be repeated and must be motivated to repeat the behaviour (Ramsaroop & Petersen, 2020). The relation of the theoretical approach contrasted with the significance of managing basic growth and enhancement on crediting multiple opportunities at professional skills and community service.

            Sustaining value of development in works contributes to a constant term of visible growth in Social learning theory which is independent works through social work. This response in imitated the work culture of social workers that help in comprehending the supportive role in describing higher-term models affect the behaviours and moods in those they work with (Scherbakova et al. 2020). Social learning theory can also help social workers form intervention strategies that use positive modelling and support to create advanced positive behaviours toward the customer. It resists the active relation of random change and business on basis of learning from different approval of margin change and reference to work relations (Ramsaroop & Petersen, 2020). Corresponding navigation of the theory connects to diversified progress in approval of quality time and approach to governing social workers. The visible change in management procures higher convention and credit worth over advance outcomes. Social networking theory also enhances the relation of employability and sustainer to improve digital terms and operations.

            The response of relevant change has been discovered on approval of centring theoretical review which enhances higher origin of development and conception to another business term. It evaluates the response of social curving nature and progress on giving work orientation and responsible relation to growing. The enhancing justification rules on the culture dependence related to signify structure of management on community effective relation and convention to improve stability.

6. Conclusion

            This study concludes the relation of composing different values initiated through compatibility and proposition of subordinate culture and progressing over different segments of opposing professional values and social recombination. This study encountered relation between professional values and relation of communal service. It describes response of relative change and contribution to improving active process of feasible challenges and corporative relaters in work services. It comprehends support of connecting social barriers composed in working progress and accessing basic changes and conceptions of segmenting new relation. The study event concludes results in support of theoretical approach and consistency to reveal work relations based on social justice. It sustains the function of evaluating market support in the clause of employee need and corporation to evaluate need in social working. The central idea has been recovered in proportion to the time connected with the corresponding system to evaluate active modification.
