Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate the roles of child group home directors and their experiences with children. The study utilised the interpretive science paradigm and individual in-depth interviews for data collection. The qualitative theme analysis method explored the experiences of child group home directors. The participants, seven group home directors in the metropolitan area of Seoul, explained their multiple roles such as protector, nurturer, discipliner, mediator, and supporter of children while recognizing dysfunctions of children's family of origin. Participants claimed that the specialization of the child group home and the professionalism of its staffs were needed in order to improve the quality of child welfare. The results of this study might contribute to practical suggestions for group home professionals.
