Tillhörighet och att få vara en del av ett socialt sammanhang är nödvändigt för oss människor. Social exkludering utgör ett hot mot individens välbefinnande och har visats påverka individens beteende och åsikter.

I studien deltog 26 studenter varav hälften blev exkluderade under ett datorspel. Deltagarna svarade på enkäter om hur de mådde, åsiktsfrågor och deras behov av tillhörighet.

Inom vissa yrkesroller kan den psykosociala arbetsmiljön vara särskilt svår och ingen dag är den andra lik. Ledare av olika slag har i dagens situation många krav på sig att utföra sitt arbete och att alltid vara anträffbara. Att arbeta med att stödja och motivera arbetslösa och socialbi-dragstagare är en speciellt svår situation att hantera när det gäller den psykosociala arbetsmil-jön. Syfte med denna undersökning är att genom vår frågeställning förstå hur den upplevda psykosociala arbetsmiljön är hos anställda på en verksamhet som arbetar med människor som är i stort behov av stöd och uppmuntran. Detta vill vi göra för att utveckla mer kunskap om vad som ligger bakom upplevd arbetssituation ur psykosocial aspekt och därmed kan vi således sprida kunskapen vidare och ha en förståelse för densamma i vår framtida yrkesroll.

Internt har ledningen utformat nya riktlinjer och policys för hur kommunikationen ska hanteras på bästa vis.

This paper examines the consequences of membership and participation in immigrant associations on individual immigrants? political integration and indirect political participation with reference to Swedish society. The theoretical underpinnings consist of a social structural outlook on social capital, combined with the Civic Voluntarism Model, both of which focus on the potential role of social networks for moving people into political action. After a presentation of parallel qualitative data over the experiences of individual members in a Finnish and Bosnian-Hercegovinian organisation, it is suggested that immigrant associations support the political integration of their members into the host society. Firstly, the case studies indicate that members of immigrant associations gain the opportunity to augment their civic skills, which is a significant prerequisite for political participation.
