Förutsättningar för implementering av agilt arbetssätt inom offentlig förvaltning : En kvalitetsstudie som undersöker hur övergången till agilt arbetssätt påverkar ledarskap och organisationskultur
No full textDenna studie har utforskat vilka faktorer som är viktiga vid en övergång till agilt arbetssätt inom offentlig sektor ur ett ledarskapsperspektiv. Studien har identifierat vilka hinder som kan uppstå när en organisation väljer att gå från ett traditionellt arbetssätt till ett agilt arbetssätt och hur ledarskapet behöver anpassas för att stödja det agila arbetssättet. Vidare har studien identifierat vilka verktyg och stöd som hjälpte organisationerna vid övergång till agilt arbetssätt på ett smidigt sätt. I uppsatsen analyseras de aspekter som påverkar införandet av ett agilt arbetssätt inom offentlig verksamhet. Syftet med studien är att kartlägga de faktorer som är centrala för att införa ett agilt arbetssätt i offentliga organisationer utifrån ett ledarskapsperspektiv och frågeställningar är; Vilka verktyg och stöd kan hjälpa offentliga organisationer att implementera agilt arbetssätt? Vilka utmaningar kan uppstå när offentliga organisationer övergår till ett agilt arbetssätt? samt Vilken ledarstil kan stödja team och organisationer i en agil miljö i offentliga organisationer? Metoden som används i studien är en kvalitativ forskningsansats. Med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer med tio ledare från två olika organisationer, undersöks de element som bidrog till en framgångsrik implementering av agila metoder. De mest betydelsefulla resultaten indikerar att agila metoder bygger på en kombination av systematisk planering, metodologisk flexibilitet, anpassning till nuvarande styrningssystem samt aktivt stöd från ledarskapet. Deltagarna betonar också att offentliga organisationer som tar till sig agila metoder möter strukturella hinder som påverkar både deras förmåga att anpassa sig och ledarnas roll under transformationsprocessen. Dessa hinder omfattar motstånd inom organisationen, hierarkiska ledningsstrukturer, oklara roller och ansvar, samt kulturella skillnader mellan traditionell offentlig förvaltning och agilt arbetssätt. Studien understryker betydelsen av ledarskapsrollen och hur denna förändras från en klassisk hierarkisk stil till en mer stödjande och tillitsfull ledarskapsform, vilket går i linje med agila principer. Vidare belyser studien hur ledarskapet anpassar sig till det agila arbetssättet genom förbättrad kommunikation, ökad tillgänglighet och aktivt lyssnande, särskilt under osäkra och föränderliga omständigheter. This thesis has explored which factors are important in a transition to agile working methods in the public sector from a leadership perspective. The study has identified which obstacles can arise when an organization chooses to move from a traditional way of working to an agile way of working and how leadership needs to be adapted to support the agile way of working. Furthermore, the study has identified which tools and support helped the organizations in the transition to agile working methods in a smooth way. The paper analyzes the aspects that influence the introduction of an agile way of working within public institutions. The purpose of the study is to map the factors that are central to introducing an agile way of working in public organizations from a leadership perspective and the questions are: What tools and support can help public organizations implement agile working methods? What challenges can arise when public organizations transition to an agile way of working? And What leadership style can support teams and organizations in an agile environment in public organizations? The method used in the study is a qualitative research approach. Using semi-structured interviews with ten leaders from two different organizations, the elements that contributed to the successful implementation of agile methods are examined. The most significant findings indicate that agile methods are based on a combination of systematic planning, methodological flexibility, adaptation to current governance systems and active support from leadership. Participants also emphasize that public organizations adopting agile methods face structural barriers that affect both their ability to adapt and the role of leaders during the transformation process. These barriers include resistance within the organization, hierarchical management structures, unclear roles and responsibilities, and cultural differences between traditional public administration and agile working methods. The study emphasizes the importance of the leadership role and how it changes from a classic hierarchical style to a more supportive and trusting leadership style, which is in line with agile principles. Furthermore, the study highlights how leadership adapts to the agile way of working through improved communication, increased accessibility and active listening, especially under uncertain and changing circumstances

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
