Abstract
One of the tendencies of social work is the field of industry, which started with labor movements in the world, and most of the important industries in the world benefit from the existence of these helpers. More than 50 years after the arrival of social work in Iran and the existence of this trend in the oil industry, but no development has been created in it. The aim of the present study is to discover and analyze the lack of realization and development of industrial social work in Iranian industries. The present study is a qualitative study at the national level in which 10 knowledgeable and relevant social workers were purposefully participated in the data saturation criterion through semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed by grounded theory study. Research has shown that multiple barriers to industrial social workers include structural barriers, ambiguous job status, and ignorance and negligence. The constructed structural phenomenon is marginalization and passivity. In order to achieve and develop industrial social work, in addition to removing the barriers, it is social workers who must present themselves to the industry in order to recognize the opportunities they can create for the industry and the capacities of their professional field. Benefit from important industry goals. In fact, the demand for industrial social work professionals is one of the main strategies to achieve this.
