Since its professional beginnings, social work has been a major actor and instrument of social policy. This study is a reconstruction of the development of social work in enterprises implemented as part of enterprise social policy in the territory of Bohemia and Moravia between the years 1876-1989. Using a hermeneutical approach based on historical research, the author explores the transformation of societal institutions, communities and structures.

Mit Hilfe eines hermeneutischen Ansatzes, der auf historischer Forschung basiert, untersucht die Autorin den Wandel gesellschaftlicher Institutionen, Gemeinschaften und Strukturen.
