The environmental work of companies has become an incredibly important factor in achieving reduced levels of environmental pollution. For companies the work on environmental issues began in the 1980s. During this time companies also began to show interest for the personnel, an interest that was shown in the form of attempts to disclose personnel information in economics. Earlier this information was separated from the financial information, despite the fact that the revenues are created by the employees.The purpose of this paper is to examine how well companies with a notification or a permit today account for environmental- and personnel information in their director?s report.

Självledarskap beskrivs vara en process där en individ utifrån sin egen förmåga påverkar och influerar sig själv för att kunna hantera olika situationer som den utsätts för. Tidigare forskning visar på att självledarskapsstrategierna har en inverkan på inre och yttre arbetstillfredsställelse. Forskningen visar även på att arbetstillfredsställelse har en inverkan på personalomsättningen. Syftet med den här studien är att få en förståelse om anställdas självledarskap inverkar på personalomsättningen i restaurangbranschen genom att analysera arbetstillfredsställelse som en länk mellan självledarskap och personalomsättning. Restaurangbranschen är en bransch med hög personalomsättning som står inför utmaningen, hög tillväxt i framtiden.

The diversity of sources has gently been put together to assure the overall quality.

SammanfattningInsatsen personlig assistans inrättades 1994 i samband med att rättighetslagstiftningen lagen (1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade, LSS, började gälla. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda vilka kriterier som den enskilde, som på grund av sitt psykiska funktionshinder ingår i 1 § 3 LSS, måste uppfylla för att beviljas insatsen personlig assistans.I uppsatsen definieras psykiskt funktionshinder och kommunens ansvar gentemot de personer med dessa handikapp klargörs. Vidare utreds alla kriterier som den funktionshindrade måste uppfylla för att beviljas personlig assistans eller ekonomisk ersättning för sådan.Personlig assistans är främst till för dem som har fysiska funktions¬hinder och/eller ett mycket omfattande hjälpbehov. Det är här diskussionen om psykiskt funktions¬hindrade ska beviljas assistans uppstår. Psykiskt funktionshindrade kan i regel sköta sina grund¬lägg¬ande behov rent fysiskt, men är i behov av ?påputtning? eftersom de har problem med att påbörja sysslor i den dagliga livsföringen.

Ekonomiska styrmedel används för att få fler människor att åka kollektivt och mindre bil. Införande av trängselskatt och förhöjda parkeringsavgifter är exempel på dessa styrmedel. Men vad skulle hända om styrmedlen får ett kraftigt genomslag och de flesta eller alla dagspendlare skulle vilja resa kollektivt? Det överordnade syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka möjliga kapacitetsproblem vid en eventuell ökad kollektivtrafikanvändning bland dagspendlarna till Göteborg. Underordnat var att analysera problem och lösningar för en sådan ökning utifrån perspektivet hållbar transportförsörjning som använt i Proposition 2008/09:93.

Values, where an organization describes the attitude its members should have towards their work, are being used to a larger extent than before. The neoinstitutional theory describes organizations? attempts to create legitimacy through activities that are not really connected to their core activities.

The study covers these individuals awareness of the impact of values in their work as well as the way they relate to values.

The aim of this study was to examine how two integrating social enterprises relate to and combines social, ecological and economic sustainability and how they work with sustainable development in the field of social work. The study has been focusing on three questions: What are the values underpinning ?Macken? and ?Vägen uts? approach to sustainable development? What motivates these companies to work with ecological sustainability in the creation of new jobs? How do these companies combine social, ecological and economic sustainability? To answer our questions we have been interviewing nine employees through semi-structured interviews combined with observations and this study was analysed through a symbolic perspective. The conclusion of this study showed that these companies worked with specific themes to reach social sustainability. Recurring themes in the study was empowerment, recovery and the employee?s own experience of exclusion.

In 2014, the Swedish leisure-time centres after school became widely criticized on several occasions by school authorities. The cause for its criticism was a reflection of leisure time-centres with lots of untrained staff and a lack of pedagogical aspirations. The conclusion of the criticism was that these leisure-time centres do not fulfil their potential. However, these assessments has only to a limited extent become a part of the public educational discourse in Sweden. This discourse has mainly focused on the decreasing results in the Swedish school, which has caught the attention in the media and ended up on the political agenda.

Since the late 1900s, the consultancy has taken a firm grip on the labor market. The consultants' work profile has been secured through agreements such as guaranteed wages. The collective has been shattered as well as higher demands are required of the employee. This results in higher work demands, workload, a reduced staffing resource and hopeless wages which can lead to health problems and depressions. Previous research shows that consultants find it stressful to be associated with two companies and some clients can also point out consultant through different attributes.

Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka ledarskap i Svenska kyrkan. Utifrån Svenska kyrkans organisation och framtida utmaningar så är det intressant att se på vilken typ av ledarskap som finns idag och även den typ som ses som det ideala. Frågorna som jag sökt svar på är: Hur ser kyrkoherdars ledarskapsstil ut idag? Vilken typ av ledarskapsstil är önskvärd inför framtiden? Genom en enkätundersökning riktad till 300 kyrkoherdar och komministrar så kom det in 105 svar. I enkäten har respondenterna fått bedöma dels hur deras nuvarande kyrkoherdar agerar (kyrkoherdarna gjorde här en självskattning) dels beskrivit hur en ideal kyrkoherde agerar.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att identifiera faktorer som kan påverka samverkansorganet Östsams framtida utvecklingsmöjligheter. Jag har valt att göra en intervjubaserad fallstudie på fallet Östsam. Intervjupersonerna består av utvalda aktörer som arbetar i processen med Östams övergång från att vara en ideell förening till att bilda ett samverkansorgan. Vidare i undersökningen har jag valt att jämföra intervjuerna med den proposition som ligger till grund för det riksdagsbeslut som antagits angående bildandet av samverkansorgan. Begreppen: motiv, samverkansmöjligheter, skapande av legitimitet, utvecklingsmöjligheter och vision har legat till grund för stora delar av undersökningen.
