Organizational Challenges in the Public Sector. A Qualitative Study of the Swedish Armed Forces and Elderly Care
Get PDFSociety is continuously impacted by accelerating technical and social changes that challenge individuals, organizations, and societies. This appears to lead to the emergence of negative organizational behavior patterns that impose high levels of demands on employees. Firstly, the purpose of this study is to qualitatively examine how three organizational challenges—organizational anorexia, organizational greed, and organizational narcissism—are expressed in the Swedish public sector. Secondly, the Swedish Armed Forces and the field of elderly care are compared to discover additional organizational challenges by carrying out comparisons. The sample of organizations used is described in the Methods section. The study’s main findings show that these three organizational challenges have been experienced in different ways in these organizations. A new organizational challenge has appeared, organizational temporality, describing participants’ perceptions of time when carrying out their assigned tasks
Skolans värld möter samhällskriser
No full textKlimatförändringar, pandemier och skolskjutningar är alla exempel på samhällskriser som aktualiserar frågan om hur skolans personal arbetar i krissituationer. Vilken beredskap har skolan att hantera samhällskriser? Vilka kompetenser behöver skolans personal? Vad innebär det att vara en krisaktör? I boken beskrivs olika typer av samhällskriser, deras faser, orsaker och karaktäristika. Författarna argumenterar för att krishantering bör ses som en aspekt av den professionella lärarkunskapen och läsaren får ta de del av konkreta strategier och förhållningssätt som är en del av skolans krishantering. Barnperspektivet lyfts fram, liksom situationen i svensk skola och vilka förutsättningar som här finns för ett fungerande krishanteringsarbete, inte minst när det gäller förebyggande insatser. Skolans värld möter samhällskriser riktar sig till skolpersonal som behöver kunskap om krishantering i skolan. Boken innehåller forskningsnära diskussioner om hur en kris på olika sätt påverkar skolan, dess personal och eleverna. Den presenterar praktiska övningar för reflektion som kan användas som underlag i utbildning av blivande och verksamma lärare, men också av rektorer och annan skolpersonal.

Gender Differences in Different Contexts
No full textThe development of gender differences as an area of research has been rapid over the last decades. Varieties of studies have focused on the gender differences as well as the similarities of women and men. The common purpose of the research attempt is to find out the possibilities and even the consequences of gender differences and the impact on human beings on one side, and social and cultural environment on the other. This book is an attempt to provide theoretical and empirical framework to better understand gender differences in various contexts and on different levels. Therefore, the contributions cover an array of themes that span from an individual level to an organizational and societal level
A Gender Perspective on Teachers as Crisis Managers
No full textStressful conditions affect communities at different levels and may involve occupational groups not normally associated with issues of crisis and security. Teachers in the compulsory school system are members of such a group. The purpose of this study is to examine teachers’ view of their own role as crisis management actors in a female-dominated occupation. A Grounded Theory approach applying a gender perspective was used as an analytical tool for data processing. In total, 16 informants from four different schools in two different municipalities in Sweden were interviewed. The analysis of these interviews shows that teachers’ perceptions of risk, crisis, and security are influenced and characterized by social and emotional regulation aimed at (a) reducing vulnerability, (b) increasing the sense of security, and (c) regaining or restoring a sense of order and control. These strategies have been discussed froma gender perspective as teachers do not regard themselves as legitimate crisis management actors
“Bit će ti teško napredovati…” Autoetnografska studija suočavanja sa “staklenim stropom” u procesu akademskog zapošljavanja
Get PDFThis narrative is an autoethnographic study of how discrimination and prejudice
counteract the academic meritocratic system. In Sweden, which is one of the most
gender-equal countries in the world, opposition to gender equality and prejudices against
what is considered the Other can be hidden and thus reproduced in decision-making
processes and structures. This narrative shows how a professorial recruitment process
bypassed the meritocratic system i.e., the system in which qualifications and educational
results in combination with the individual’s achievements should play the greatest role in
the promotion process. This is a story about how the supposed meritocracy is twisted and
manipulated within university contexts and how the “temperament” of a foreign female
researcher is utilised to exclude her from entering through the coveted doors of academic
departments. Different experiences, characterised by demanding conditions, have been
analysed with the help of gender theoretical perspectives, opposition to gender equality,
intercultural perspectives and a number of social psychological perspectives linked to
prejudice. The description is interwoven with previous experiences from younger years,
which together contribute to an increased understanding of the individual narrative and
its specific context.U ovoj autoetnografskoj studiji razmatra se način na koji diskriminacija i predrasude
stoje u opreci prema akademskom meritokratskom sustavu. U Švedskoj, koja je jedna od
najravnopravnijih zemalja na svijetu, protivljenje ravnopravnosti spolova i predrasude
prema strancima skrivene su iza organizacijskih procesa i procesa donošenja odluka. U
početnom dijelu rada opisuje se kako je proces zapošljavanja profesora zaobišao
meritokratski sustav u kojem bi akademske kvalifikacije i obrazovni rezultati trebali
imati najveću ulogu u procesu napredovanja akademskog osoblja. U centralnom dijelu rada
analizira se kako se tobožnja meritokracija izokreće i manipulira unutar sveučilišnih
konteksta i kako se osobne karakteristike poput “temperamenta” autorice iskorištavaju kako
bi joj onemogućili ulazak na željena vrata akademskih odjela. Traumatska iskustva
zapošljavanja na švedskom sveučilištu, povezana s prijašnjim iskustvima rata u Bosni i
Hercegovini, pridonose boljem razumijevanju individualnog narativa i društvenog konteksta
Švedske. Rad je doprinos promišljanju i teorijskoj analizi osobnog iskustva kroz
povezivanje rodnoteorijske, interkulturne te socijalno-psihološke perspektive
Dark Sides of Organizational Behavior and Leadership
No full textIn recent years, scholars have focused more on the "dark sides of leadership." Both the negative and positive aspects of the relationship between leaders and followers are considered. But the relationship between leaders and followers is also influenced by the context in which the relationship occurs. Organizational aspects such as culture and structures are studied in relation to how negative leadership develops. Organizations, just like humans, are able to develop justifications for their actions, to self-aggrandize by claiming their exclusivity. In this book, the dark sides of organizational behaviors and leadership are considered from different aspects and contexts. The book contributes knowledge of how negative leadership develops, what part organizational structures play, and what the consequences are for the leader, the subordinates and the organization
