En arbetsmarknadspolitisk åtgärd som har införts de senaste åren för att minska antalet personer som står utanför arbetsmarknaden och som får försörjningsstöd är att erbjuda jobbcoachning till personer som är arbetslösa. Södertälje kommun har i riktlinje med detta, genom sitt bolag Telge koncernen tillsammans med Manpower AB, startat ett företag; Manpower Telge Jobbstart för att få ner den stora andelen arbetslösa i kommunen genom ett program innehållande jobbcoaching. Manpower Telge Jobbstarts verksamhet bekostas av Södertälje kommun och har under de dryga två åren sedan företaget startades visat upp goda resultat.Denna uppsats är en fallstudie, med kvalitativ ansats, på Manpower Telge Jobbstart. Insamlingen av empirisk data har gjorts genom två besök på företaget där tre personer som är insatta i verksamheten har intervjuats. Dessutom har två gruppaktiviteter med deltagare i programmet studerats.

I och med organiseringen inom bemanningsbranschen uppstår en relation där konsulten som är uthyrd på uppdrag får två chefer att förhålla sig till. Då bemanningsföretaget är arbetsgivare till konsulten bli ledarskapet inom bemanningsbranschen ett ledarskap som sker på distans, där konsultchefen inte deltar i det dagliga arbetet. Det är här som vår studie tar vid, att undersöka konsultchefers ledarskap på ett av Sveriges största bemanningsföretag, Manpower, samt undersöka vilka konsekvenser ledarskapet får för konsultchefer och konsulter. Detta leder oss till vårt syfte: ?Att undersöka konsultchefers ledarskap på Manpower Professional?Vi har valt att presentera tidigare studier inom bemanningsbranschen och då främst inom ledarskapet.

Uppsatsens syfte avser att redogöra för och undersöka hur man kan synliggöra kompetens inom ett bemanningsföretag. Denna kompetens är viktig för bemanningsföretagen då de måste kunna finna rätt person, med rätt kompetens, till rätt uppdrag. Som fallföretag har vi utgått från Manpower, men även tagit del av deras dotterbolags verksamhet The Empower Group. Metoderna som vi har använt oss av har varit djupintervjuer samt kompletterande enkätintervjuer, båda intervjutyperna var baserade på samma frågor. Vi har valt att intervjua såväl ledning som konsulter för att kunna se på skillnader mellan de två aktörerna.

 Vi har kommit fram till att kontorets framgångsfaktorer ligger bl.a. i på vilket sätt personalen rekryteras, teamarbetet, företagskulturen samt att personalen delar med sina kompetenser och erfarenheter och bollar idéer med varandra. Att personalen rekryterar lämpliga konsulter på rätt arbetsplats är andra framgångsfaktorer enligt oss. Vi har utformat ett koncept i form av en stjärna till kontoret som ett bidrag till fortsatt utveckling.   Vi har kommit fram till att kontorets framgångsfaktorer ligger bl.a. ipå vilket sätt personalen rekryteras, teamarbetet, företagskulturensamt att personalen delar med sina kompetenser och erfarenheteroch bollar idéer med varandra.

The intention of this study was to create an understanding of how multi-professional interaction could convert into inter-professional collaboration, which takes advantage of and acknowledges the individual professional identity. The intention was to understand the meaning of collaboration through the study of meetings between professionals who use different symbol systems. In particular, we wanted to study inter-professional interaction from a symbolic interactional perspective with a focus on Self, Identity, Symbols, Meaning and Professional community. The employed method was semi-structured interviews with ten questions. A convenience sample was used to identify working groups composed of different professions, such as teachers, social workers and therapy assistants.

The aim of this thesis is to study the effects of self-service on professional qualifications of library assistants in three public libraries in Sweden. The research questions are: - How do the library assistants experience that their professional qualifications have changed since self-service was introduced at the library? - Does the view on library assistants? professional qualifications and future differ between library managers and library assistants? - Does the view on library assistants? professional qualifications and future differ between the three different libraries? The method used is qualitative interviews with six library assistants and three head of libraries from three different public libraries. The theoretical framework for this study is constructed by theoretical ideas about professional qualifications and technology's impact on professionalism. The results indicate that the cognitive qualifications of library assistants have increased and social qualifications both increased and decreased.

The purpose of this study is to extend the understanding of how professionals in modern organisations want to be managed. We especially investigate professionals changing industries to describe if, and how, aprofessional in this situation is becoming a professional again after the change. This to find connections between intrinsic motivation and attitudes towards professionalism on one side, and applicable managerial methodson the other. Best practice in managing professionals is traditionally considered to be non-invasive methodologies such as indoctrination and training. Beyond that, operational-level management is usually considered to be bound to fail.The analysis suggests the following:? A professional changing industry will become professional again.? The driving force for becoming professional again is the strive for horisontal specialization, induced by higher education.? Management of professionals needs to account for the integrity of the horizontal specialization of the professional.

The professional football clubs can today be compared with company with profit aim, but the difference is that they also want to achieve sporting successes. In ten years, the Swedish Premier Division´s turnover has more than doubled and because of the strong economic development the license of elite was introduced.

The purpose of this study is to create understanding for how the audit process is implemented in professional football clubs compared with a limited company.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the work situation for temporary workers within the field of journalism. During the past decade, influential external forces such as commercialization, new technologies and increased competition have brought great changes within the industry.

The overarching aim of this paper is to study the professional encounter in its complexity. The requirements for receiving welfare is set by the professional and it's the professionals decision if they are met in the proper manner. This makes the assessment of the clients conditions and the correctness of the assessment hence important. There are several levels which is necessary for the social worker to take into consideration.We have therefore made a socio-analysis by using a theoretical model of Johansson (2006) where he uses the Social Psychology of the encounter to create a model with four levels, which is always present in the professional encounter: structural, positional, relational, and experience level.  Our base was that the one responsible for handling these levels was the professional which led us to search for literature concerning the professional approach.Our study is formed as a qualitative case-study. Our empirical data consist of qualitative interviews with four social workers handling social allowance.The results shows that the complexity of the professional encounter requires a professional approach.
