AbstractThe purpose of this study is to examine the effect of job performance on the Geriatric Social Work Competency(GSWC) among social workers in the Individualized Support Service for Older Adults, which is a new community care for older adults in South Korea, and the moderating effects of supervision. In order to provide quality services in the face of increasing needs for elderly care, it is necessary to understand the level of job performance as well as the GSWC of social workers who are dedicated to provide customized care services in the community. The GSWC is widely used in related fields as a tool to measure the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that social workers in the geriatric social work field should have (Damron-Rodriguez, Lawrance, P., Barnett, & Simmons, 2006). In order for social workers to perform their jobs effectively, it is important not only to strengthen their capabilities but also to provide organizational support such as an appropriate supervision (Park, 2019). An empirical study is needed on how the level of supervision adjusts the effect of job competency on the GSWC among social workers.Keywords: specialized service in the individualized support service for older adults, social workers, geriatric social work competency, supervision
