The study revealed that there was a gap between Ideal and actual role responsibilities. Further, there was a distinction between the role perceptions of MSW and non-MSW workers. The MSW workers gore higher priority to the treatment and service aspects of their role, which was seen as being a function of their professional training. The implications of these findings for social work education are explored.
