AB  - There is no doubt that social workers are rendering professional quality services to vulnerable&#xd;
groups across the globe. In South Africa, however, social workers face challenges impacting their daily performance.&#xd;
This study explored the impact of Human Resource Management and Infrastructure (HRMI) on social&#xd;
workers&amp;apos; performance in rural areas. A qualitative research method was used to collate in-depth information&#xd;
from 30 social workers. A purposive sampling method was employed to purposefully select social workers&#xd;
who met the criterion. Primary data was obtained through Semi-structured interviews with social workers and&#xd;
secondary data from books and journals. The findings revealed that there is a lack of office space, a shortage&#xd;
of equipment such as official phones, computers, and stationery; and poor supervision which affects service&#xd;
delivery. The findings further revealed that the infrastructure consists of old buildings that are not conducive&#xd;
to human habitation or office space and of lack transport. Therefore, this paper proposes the following recommendations:&#xd;
that all necessary resources for the effective performance of social work duties be provided.&#xd;
It is further recommended that the infrastructure of the office space should be rehabilitated for a conducive&#xd;
working environment and there should be a provision of transport&#xd;
