An inductive method with semi-structured interviews was used and six social workers in a small municipality in the southern part of Sweden participated in the study. The material was analyzed using the theoretical concepts holistic approach, coordination, collaboration, five organizational models and new institutionalism in the shape of isomorphism and legitimacy. The results of the study are that the social service in X-town is a multi-specialized organization and there for is in need of a well-functioning cooperation between the departments to maintain a holistic approach in the work with its clients. The opinions of the social workers in this study are comparable with the general views of specialization as the most rational option when organizing the social services. 90 percent of the social services in Sweden are organized based on specialization. This indicates that a multi-specialized organization is an adaption to the general views and will therefore receive legitimization from the society. (Less)
