Studien handlar om rekryteringsprocessens förfarande, där den huvudsakliga frågeställningen är "Hur synliggörs potentiella medarbetares kapaciteter i rekryteringsprocessen?". Studien syftar till att lyfta fram hur rekryterare bär sig åt för att synliggöra de potentiella medarbetarnas förmågor och personliga egenskaper, och hur de vet vad som är väsentligt att lyfta fram för en viss tjänst. Ytterligare fågeställningar jag har är: "Hur kan rekryteraren veta vilka egenskaper som ska belysas?", "Hur går rekryteraren till väga för att synliggöra specifika kapaciteter?" och "Kan rekryterarens personliga värderingar påverka rekryteringsförfarandet?".

Syftet med uppsatsen är att utifrån det psykologiska kontraktet och tre hypoteserundersöka dimensioner av relationen mellan chefer och medarbetare och belysaskillnader. Undersökningen bygger på enkätsvar från 81 medarbetare och 18 cheferfrån två organisationer. Vi behandlar i uppsatsen fem dimensioner av relationenmellan chefer och medarbetare, dessa är uppförande, rättvisa, trygghet, förtroendeoch kommunikation. Två av dimensionerna skiljer sig mellan grupperna när vi testarom det finns skillnader beroende på vilket företag en respondent tillhör och endimension skiljer sig när vi undersöker om det finns skillnader i uppfattningenmellan chefer och medarbetare. När vi jämför ett internationellt företag med ettmindre, lokalt, företag får vi resultat som motsäger vårt antagande att skillnaderi uppfattning om relationens dimensioner är större i det internationella företaget.Vi drar slutsatsen att relationens dimensioner inte är beroende av varandra utanpåverkas av olika faktorer.

Avtalsfrihet och pacta sunt servanda benämns ofta som avtalsrättens grundpelare. Det innebär att parterna är fria att själva utforma inbördes prestationer och skyldigheter i avtal och att bundenhet att fullfölja avtalet uppstår. En jämkning av avtalsvillkor innebär i många fall att dessa grundprinciper inskränks varför uppsatsen behandlar principernas ställning och skyddsvärde.Denna uppsats har till syfte att utreda räckvidden för en i avtal stadgad ansvarsbegränsning. Utredningen görs dels genom en genomgång av den proposition generalklausulsutredningen resulterade i och som förelåg införandet av oskälighetsbegreppet i 36 § AvtL, vari tillämpning för jämkning av avtalsklausul möjligen kan finnas, dels genom en sammanställning för vad som föreskrivs i rättspraxis och doktrin.En skiljedom, som klandrades och därför blev offentlig, visar hur skiljemännen valde att tillämpa 36 § AvtL för att jämka en avtalad klausul om ansvarsbegränsning och istället göra en skadeståndsbedömning delvis utifrån skadeståndsrättsliga principer.I uppsatsen utreds under vilka förutsättningar en eller flera klausuler kan jämkas och redogör för hur ett jämkningsförfarande generellt går till och analyserar vad ett eftersträvansvärt förhållandesätt till en faktor som tecknad ansvarsförsäkring är. Vidare utreder uppsatsförfattarna huruvida en ansvarsförsäkring hos part kan påverka utfallet av bedömningen i skadeståndsrättsliga frågor.

When the hospital mergerbetween the hospital of Malmö and the hospital of Lund is a fact, it seems clear that knowledgeabout managing motivation is important. The knowledge could also lead to increased possibilitiesto improve support for motivation where needed at the hospital.I have through a literature review created a descriptive model of the theoretical view onmotivational factors for participation in change and their relationships. The theoretical modelwhere then tested in a empirical study in which additional data created a more true model of themotivation on participation at the hospital.The findings of the study show how the descriptive model illustrates how the twodifferent departments both work with a empowering philosophy that have built in properties thatenable the employees to gain more motivation. The model also underline the importance of thecommunication role to enlighten the employee in what, where, when and why the change takesplace.

Music streaming services are changing the music industry from the inside. After being struck by the piracy wave in the early 2000's, the industry was characterized by declining sales, layoffs, and a seemingly futile battle on what had become a culture of copyright infringement. After the successful launch of the music streaming service Spotify, the Swedish recording industry took a turn for the better. Music streaming services are creating both new opportunities and challenges to the music industry. This paper aims to study some of the opportunities and challenges concerning the creation of new music.

To describe and identify the soldier's identity formation, values and norms working in group processes are taken into account.

Scania som är ett multinationellt företag har som vision att alla medarbetare ska kunna delta och påverka sitt eget arbete, och att hantera dagens läs- och skrivkrav ses som en nyckel till det. Under 2005 startade Scania i egen regi ett läs- och skrivprojekt med mål att höja medarbetarnas läs- och skrivkompetens. 13.5 % av medarbetarna i motormonteringen anmälde sig till läs- och skrivprojektet. För att se vilket genomslag utbildningen har gett har vi anlitats av Scania för att utvärdera projektet. Syftet med vår studie är att utifrån djupintervjuer med Scanias motorbyggare undersöka skriftens betydelse i motorverkstaden samt söka svar på vad läs- och skrivutbildningen har betytt för motorbyggarna.

The purpose of this study is to describe how the employee appraisal is perceived by managers, employees and representatives from human resources departments. The empirical material con-sists of 15 interviews: respondents were two representatives of the human resources departments, four unit managers and nine employees who work at a state institution or municipal management. In the study, I adopt a sociocultural perspective, with the communicative relational perspective. The latter is a special education perspective in which the interpenetration of participation, com-munication and learning emphasized.The result shows that the majority of employees would like to see that the talks will be held more frequently than once a year. One of the managers has in cooperation with his co-workers devel-oped a model based on that each year, in addition to salary talks, have an individual conversation, a conversation with each group and individual follow-up talks.
