Inledning och bakgrund: Klimatet på arbetsmarknaden är hårt i dag på grund av en rådande lågkonjunktur och det blir allt viktigare för arbetssökande inom den konkurrenskraftiga arbetsmarknaden att bygga upp sitt personliga varumärke med egenskaper som ger positiva associationer.Syfte: Att kvantifiera de egenskaper som förmedlats i platsannonser för att kunna ge riktlinjer om vilka egenskaper som oftast förekom och därmed blir viktiga för arbetssökande att se över och bygga upp i deras personliga varumärke samt göra en jämförelse av resultatet mellan olika yrkesområden.Genomförande: För att uppfylla studiens syfte har en kvantitativ innehållsanalys genomförts på ett urval platsannonser från Arbetsförmedlingens hemsida för att få fram de personliga egenskaper som har angetts som önskemål.Resultat: Resultatet visar att de oftast förekommande önskemålen hos arbetsgivarna om vad de arbetssökandes personliga varumärke ska innehålla är att personen kan visa sig självständig och självgående. Beroende på yrkesområde finns det sedan olika önskemål hos arbetsgivarna. Det näst vanligaste önskemålet hos arbetsgivare totalt sett är att personen kan uppvisa att denne är en lagspelare och besitter en god samarbetsförmåga. Om personen söker arbete inom kultur, media och design ska denne vara kreativ, initiativrik och idérik. Detta skiljer sig mot en person som arbetar inom ekonomi, administration och juridik.

Nedgången bland IT-företagen efter att bubblan sprack runt millennieskiftet ledde till att färre studenter sökte sig till de IT-relaterade utbildningarna och många redan utbildade hade svårt att hitta arbete. När konjunkturen vände för bara något år sedan, skapades ett motsatt förhållande. Idag finns det en stor vilja hos företagen att expandera sin verksamhet, men den bristande arbetskraften sätter stopp för utvecklingen. Antalet sökande till landets utbildningar är fortsatt lågt.Arbetet avser att undersöka hur dagens företag marknadsför sig och motiverar den utbildade personal som finns på marknaden. Vi har genom en intervjustudie försökt att se på hur företagen gör för att attrahera och locka ny personal.

The economic climate that has been going on for the last years has more or less affected everyone. This has created a need to get more knowledge about how our banks work and also how peoples own personal financial situation looks like. When our banks over this last period have compensated their employees with even greater deals of money, reactions has gone to the roof. This discussion has made us interested in the subject, which led to the decision to write an essay about remunerations within banks.The purpose of this essay is to investigate if our banks remunerations to their employees have any effect on their profit numbers. Does the size of the compensations vary with changes in the market? Do larger compensations contribute to a greater result?The study will look at Sweden?s four largest banks, Handelsbanken, SEB, Nordea and Swedbank.

Syftet med denna uppsats ämnar att beskriva svenska modeföretags internationaliseringsprocess. Därför ska vi undersöka och analysera nätverkets betydelse, barriärers påverkan, val av etableringsstrategier och varumärkesbyggnad vid internationalisering. För att uppnå syftet med vår studie har nedanstående huvudproblem formulerats: Hur går svenska modeföretag tillväga vid etablering och varumärkesbyggnad på den internationella marknaden? Uppsatsens teoretiska utgångspunkt innefattar svenska modeföretags etablering på den internationella marknaden vilket berör internationaliseringsprocessen, nätverksperspektiv, barriärer, etableringsstrategier samt varumärkesbyggnad. Studien utgår från en kvalitativ forskningsmetod med en deduktiv ansats där fyra fallstudier har tillämpats.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate and with it clarifying what is meant by a dismissal for personal reasons must be based on valid reasons. More specifically, what is valid reason and what is required for that demand to be regarded as fulfilled.To my help to achieve this I have asked questions such as what kind of behavior from the employee can be the basis for a valid termination of the employment, what factors do the court put emphasis on in a trial and what is the requirements for the employer during the dismissal.The study has further objectives which are to illustrate the phenomenon of valid reason from a diversity perspective and from an international perspective. To achieve those objectives following questions have been asked: Is some groups covered in a greater extent than others by the requirement that a termination of employment must have valid reasons and are there international counterparts to the Swedish requirement that a dismissal must be factually based.What emerged from the study judicial inquiry is that the phenomena to which the employee is guilty of first is to see as valid reason when the employee are aware of the obligations undertaken in the employment but acting against them and inflicts some sort of damage for the employer.With regard to the employer's obligations in a termination proceeding are they to see as comprehensive and can be summed up to the fact that the employer should do everything in his power to avoid a dismissal.When it comes to the factors a court should take into account is this also a matter of major proportions. The court shall take into account all of the circumstances relating to the dismissal, which means that, with absolutely certainty, determine in advance what the court will decide is an almost impossible task.Furthermore, it emerged from the study that the requirement that a dismissal for personal reasons must be based on valid reasons may come to certain groups of workers to a greater extent than others. The study's investigation also indicates that the Swedish legislation, as it reads today, probably in breach of regulations enacted by the European Union.   .

The aim of this essay is to investigate how a demarcation is made between employees? right to religious freedom next to employers? interest in running their enterprise in an efficient way. Case law shows that the Arrowsmith-principle forum internum and forum externum could be used when a demarcation has to be made. Furthermore, case law shows that that the employee?when accepting a contract of employment?have accepted certain restrictions of his or her religious freedom.

It has become increasingly simple for companies to offer its employees shares in the form of incentive or option plans to acquire.  Companies motivate incentive plans with employee buy-outs that it will lead to higher involvement of work. The offers are often associated with disposal restrictions to the employee such as not immediately dispose of shares or that the employees will have to remain of employment within a certain timeframe. The problems with disposal restrictions are that it makes it difficult to determine the point of taxation.When shares deemed acquired at the time of share subscription the benefit will be taxable as income from service and the increase in value income from capital. When shares are deemed to be acquired only after cessation of disposal restrictions this will result in that the benefit is taxed only once.After the Supreme Administrative Court rulings in 3167-09 and 3168-09, it is now obvious that the acquisition is deemed to occur at the time of acquisition. The problem is not yet solved because the constant development of the security market needs to be considered.

Vidare blev ansatsen av induktiv karaktär då vi efter bästa förmåga ville angripa studien utan att vara helt styrda av tidigare forskning.

Denna studie undersöker vilka kvalifikationer som värderas vid internrekrytering hos polismyndigheten. Studien undersöker varför en viss kandidat rekryteras samt hur själva rekryteringsprocessen går till. En utvärdering av organisationskulturen får också stor plats i studien då det tidigare är känt att just polismyndigheten präglas av en stark kultur. Vi undersöker om och hur kulturella aspekter påverkar organisationen och också rekryteringen. För att genomföra denna undersökning har empiriskt material samlats in genom kvalitativa intervjuer.

Syftet med studien var att få en ökad förståelse för hur personer med psykisk ohälsa upplever bemötandet i arbetslivet. Bemötandet i studien kommer att förklaras utifrån ett stigmatiseringsperspektiv. Detta eftersom bemötandet i arbetslivet i tidigare forskning visar på en stigmatisering av personer med psykisk ohälsa. Studien presenteras utifrån hur stigmatiseringen tar sig i uttryck i arbetslivet samt om detta påverkar individens självbild. Hanteringen av den upplevda stigmatiseringen hos personer med psykisk ohälsa kommer även behandlas under studiens gång.
