    The Diffusion of Flexibility: Estimating the Incidence of Low-Regulated Working Conditions2013Ingår i: Nordic Journal of Working Life Studies, E-ISSN 2245-0157, Vol. 3, nr 3, s. 99-116Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this study is to determine the actual occurrences of flexible working conditions and to demonstrate an instrument for their assessment. Flexibility is discussed as a concept and defined in terms of deregulation of work, and a corresponding increase in self-government and ambiguity. Using empirical data from a national survey of the Swedish labor force, the results show that almost half (47%) of the jobs on the Swedish labor market can be characterized as low, or even unregulated. This means that almost half of the Swedish work force is subjected to working conditions involving a nonnegligible requirement for self-government.

    Young People’s Attitudes to Attractive Work, During and After Upper Secondary School2017Ingår i: Nordic Journal of Working Life Studies, E-ISSN 2245-0157, Vol. 7, nr 1, s. 55-68Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Attractive work has been defined as a job position which an individual wants, where the employee experiences job stability and where employee identification and dedication are fostered. The present study is aimed at increasing knowledge about attitude changes to work during young people’s transition from school to work-life. A closed cohort, consisting of 225 pupils from graduating classes in 10 upper secondary schools in Sweden, was studied. The most significant result was found in the pupils’ expectations regarding work attractiveness while they were still attending school and in the subsequent year, after they had finished school. During school attendance, there were no differences between the groups, while those who did not find employment after school greatly reduced their demands regarding attractive work.Those who managed to get a job maintained the same level of expectation as during their school years, in terms of requirements for an attractive job.

    "You feel the threat from Asia": Onshore experiences of IT offshoring to India2015Ingår i: Nordic Journal of Working Life Studies, E-ISSN 2245-0157, Vol. 5, nr 4, s. 41-66Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    This article investigates the experiences of employees and managers in Swedish companies that offshore IT services to India, focusing on how implementation of offshoring is changing the work organization and working conditions for software developers onsite. Our analysis highlights the fact that the working conditions have been significantly redesigned in several different ways because of offshoring, most obviously due to the need for knowledge transfer between the onshore and the offshore working sites. The study illustrates how employees and managers onsite utilized different strategies for knowledge transfer and how these strategies were more or less successful, sometimes due to resistance from employees. The article concludes that, although offshoring contributed to a separation of conception from execution in these companies, there were few signs of routinization of daily work tasks for onsite employees. Instead, it was the routinized and noncore tasks that were offshored while project management tasks were taken over by onsite staff, which meant that they ended up in a superior position vis-à-vis their Indian colleagues as new global hierarchies were created. Power relations at work, both within firms and between firms, are thus brought to light.

    Patterned Inequalities and the Inequality Regime of a Swedish Housing Company2015Ingår i: Nordic Journal of Working Life Studies, E-ISSN 2245-0157, Vol. 5, nr 4, s. 105-124Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    In this article, the authors analyze inequalities between different groups of employees at a housing company in a larger Swedish city. The concept of inequality regime is taken as a point of departure. The purposes of the article are three: first, to add to knowledge of how inequality is generated at an organizational level at specific workplaces; second, to contribute to the understanding of how different practices, processes, and meanings of inequality regimes may interact to create and reinforce inequalities between natives and immigrants; and, third, to contribute to the empirical usefulness of the concept of inequality regime by demonstrating how it can be operationalized and combined with other concepts in the analysis. The study shows how the practices, processes, and meanings at the given workplace generated and reproduced different kinds of inequalities: unequal wages, an ethnic division of labor, unequal influence and job security, and unequal opportunities to capitalize on useful skills (i.e., language competence). Important conclusions are that different kinds of inequalities may reinforce each other by creating vicious circles, and subtler forms of inequality may partly explain explicit wage inequalities.

    Social Innovation for Work Inclusion-Contributions of Swedish Third Sector Organizations2022Ingår i: Nordic Journal of Working Life Studies, E-ISSN 2245-0157, Vol. 12, nr 3, s. 23-44Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    The innovative contributions of third sector organizations (TSOs) to tackle work-related societal challenges are increasingly acknowledged in policy and research, but rarely in Nordic working life studies. The article helps fill this knowledge gap by an empirical mapping of efforts by Swedish TSOs to promote work inclusion among people considered disadvantaged in the regular labor market, due to age, disabilities, origin, etc. Previous studies of social innovation help distinguish their innovativeness in terms of alternative or complementary ways to perceive and promote work inclusion in regard to Swedish labor market policies. By combining various measures for providing and preparing work opportunities, addressing their participants through individualistic and holistic approaches, and managing work inclusion by varying organization, funding, and alliances, the mapped cases seem to innovatively compensate for government and market failures in the work inclusion domain to some extent, while also being limited by their own voluntary failures.

    Intervention to prevent mental ill health among health care workers2014Ingår i: Nordic Journal of Working Life Studies, E-ISSN 2245-0157, Vol. 4, nr 2, s. 117-138Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Psychological strain in working life is gaining ever more attention. Health care workers are often under extreme emotional stress, which can become so overwhelming that they show signs of mental ill health.

    This project aimed to develop a model for sustainable psychological support within a hospital clinic to prevent mental ill health among employees.

    Mental strains at work and mental ill health among clinic employees were mapped out, after which interventions for psychological support were designed in collaboration with employees. The interventions were conducted over one year and evaluated. Throughout the process the clinic received continuous feedback. Both questionnaires and interviews were used.

    The results of identifying mental strains and conducting interventions showed that employees experienced mental strain at work and perceived a need for support. Intervention evaluations showed that the project provided support, new insights and an increased acceptance for long-term prevention of mental strain. Quantitative and qualitative methodologies supported results.

     

    The conclusion was that increased legitimacy for mental strain at work and continuous feedback between clinic management and employees, as well as organisational circumstances are important factors when developing long-term intervention programs with various forms of psychological support.

    Working with Robotic Animals in Dementia Care: The Significance of Caregivers' Competences2023Ingår i: Nordic Journal of Working Life Studies, E-ISSN 2245-0157, Vol. 13, nr 3, s. 49-69Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Robotic animals are increasingly discussed as a solution to challenges connected to the aging population and limited resources in care. While previous research focuses on the robots’ effect on the patients’ well-being, there is a general lack of knowledge regarding the hands-on experience of caregivers’ use of robots. Therefore, the aim of the study is to explore the competences that caregivers draw upon when facilitating interaction between residents and robots. The study was conducted through ethnographic observations and interviews with caregivers at dementia care homes in Sweden. The notion of ‘competence’ is understood as knowledge about the ways of working and social norms that are valued within a community of practice, which members develop through engagement in the community. The findings show that caregivers’ use of robotic animals as caregiving tools rests on embodied, social, and ethical competences.

    Women in the Steel Industry: Closed in Corners or Provided with Possibilities2020Ingår i: Nordic Journal of Working Life Studies, E-ISSN 2245-0157, Vol. 10, nr 4, s. 65-83Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

     The steel industry has been one of the basic industries in both Sweden and Finland. It is in a process of change, where research and development play an increasingly prominent role. In Sweden in particular, there is also an ambition to increase the number of women in the industry. This study is based on interviews and workshops with 12 women working in researcher or managerial positions in the Swedish steel industry. Their experiences show that employing more women in the industry is not enough to make effective use of the female talent pool, nor to increase gender equality. Besides belonging to a gender minority, women often had different backgrounds and career paths from their male colleagues, and their organizations need to be able to recognize the value of untraditional characteristics. The organizational environment determined whether these women became just an improvement in gender statistics or real gains in the quest for competence.

    The Performance Appraisal Interview -  An Arena for the Reinforcement of Norms for Employeeship2011Ingår i: Nordic Journal of Working Life Studies, E-ISSN 2245-0157, Vol. 1, nr 2, s. 59-75Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    In the present paper, we report findings from a study of performance appraisal interviews between middle managers and employees. The study is based on analysis of video uptake of authentic performance appraisal interviews, and through detailed examination of participant conduct and orientation, we point to structural mechanisms and institutional norms which limit the possibilities for employees to raise topics connected to negative experiences of stress in performance appraisal talk. It is argued that norms concerning ideal employeeship are shaped by a partly hidden curriculum in the organization which in turn is talked into being in the performance appraisal interviews. The study concludes that empirical attention to the social interplay in performance appraisal interactions reveal how participant conduct aligns or disaligns with institutional and social underpinnings of workplace ideals.

    Coping With Moral Stress in the Swedish Public Services2016Ingår i: Nordic Journal of Working Life Studies, E-ISSN 2245-0157, Vol. 6, nr 3, s. 59-77Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper examines how today's public workers cope with moral stress in organizations where new public management reforms have been implemented. More specifically, the interest is focused on examining which practices are developed in order to fulfill professional standards within the limits of inadequate resources in order to manage moral stress. Case studies at Swedish public work places are analyzed with the help of Lipsky's theory about street-level bureaucrats' coping behavior and theories about the elements of resistance in coping. The main result is the discernment of three dominant modificational strategies to manage stressful moral dilemmas in encounters with clients. The paper contributes to the understanding of coping with moral stress by highlighting that the detected coping forms among a varied group of public professionals imply an active adaption, reification, and opposition to the managerial reforms.
