Additionally two interviews with two employes at one of the offices and also one interview at the other Handelsbanken office.By the study I have found that all respondents have a positive impression according the internal communication.

The purpose of this study is to discover and explain the influences of media coverage of organizational crises on crisis communication, and vice versa. The study also shows how mediated crises develop, and how media framing and news sources affect this development.Carried out as a case study of three Swedish mediated crises, the methods used are quantitative and qualitative content analysis of media content from four Swedish newspapers and four organizations' press releases from the studied crises.Mediated crises develop through their specific pattern regardless of, but not independent from, the organizations' crisis communication. The crisis communication is used as an elite source in media reporting from the crises, but it can not control the mediated crises. However, it influences framing, and the possibilities to influence media reporting are better in the pre-crisis phase and the culmination..

Affärssystem har blivit allt vanligare i organisationer och framhålls av systemleverantörer som ett verktyg för att öka organisationers flexibilitet. Forskning tyder dock på att affärssystem både kan öka och minska flexibiliteten för organisationer. Få empiriska studier har genomförts vad gäller affärssystems påverkan på organisationers flexibilitet och forskningen är splittrad vad gäller affärssystems påverkan på flexibiliteten för organisationer. Syftet med denna uppsats är att illustrera och förklara hur ett affärssystem påverkar flexibilitet i en organisation. För att besvara syftet skapas en analysmodell som syntetiserar tidigare forskning om flexibilitet med en organisatorisk förändringsmodell.

The need to attract and retain individuals who add value to the organization constitutes an increasing challenge facing human resource professionals. In this context it is essential to establish stronger links between the individuals and the organization they work for. The aim of this study is to explore and discuss the role of ethical core values such as trust, respect, fairness, and honesty as a critical antecedent to employee commitment. From the perspective of employees, a comparative case study is conducted in two organizations with two different reasons to exist - a profit organization and a non-profit organization.

To answer the purpose of this essay, two questions were formulated; "What opportunities for learning does employees experience in the company?" and "How can learning in the workplace improve for the sellers?". First, we present what previous research has highlighted regarding workplace learning and learning within the callcenter industry. Afterwards we present ten semi-structured interviews with leaders and sellers within a telecom company in Stockholm.

En 80-talist karaktäriseras bland annat av sitt meningssökande, gruppfokus och sökande efter trygghet i otryggheten. Dessa attribut talar för att dessa individer skulle preferera en decentraliserad organisationsstruktur där de får svar på sina relevansfrågor via stimulerande arbetsuppgifter och arbetsformer. Arbetsformerna får gärna lämna utrymme för ansvar och målstyrningen är kanske den styrning som bäst motiverar en 80-talist. en 80-talist är uppväxt i ett konsumtionssamhälle och uppskattar den monetära belöningen då denna fysiskt och tydligt symboliserar organisationens uppskattning. Det är dock väldigt viktigt att denna kompletteras av icke-monetära belöningar i form av uppskattning, delegerat ansvar samt stimulerande arbetsuppgifter.

Denna uppsats görs en utvärdering av Agerus PrestationsIndex, ett verktyg för att mäta prestation i organisationer utifrån empowerment. PrestationsIndex är ett självskattningstest och bygger på en modell för empowerment med fem psykologiska rekvisit för självgående. Testet prövas psykometriskt för reliabilitet och validitet. Därutöver testas två hypoteser, dels om PrestationsIndex kan predicera prestation och dels om ojämnhet mellan de psykologiska rekvisiten kan påverka prestationen negativt. Resultaten visar starkt stöd för den första teorin när det gäller att predicera individuell prestation, men kan inte belägga PrestationsIndex som en prediktor för gruppresstation, när man har rensat för miljöfaktorer såsom trivsel och lust till arbetet.

This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of interdisciplinary collaborations between Art and Mathematics within the Arts program at the upper secondary school level. Grounded in sociocultural theory, this study explores learning through language, action, and context, drawing on the works of theorists such as Lev Vygotsky (1995/2016), John Dewey (1897/2011) and Roger S?lj? (2020). Through semi-structured interviews, educators in both Art and Mathematics discuss shared subject content and explore opportunities and obstacles in fostering a collaborative culture within the Arts program at the upper secondary school level. The study reveals common subject content in Art and Mathematics suitable for interdisciplinary collaboration.

The increasing health problems in our society have been lifted to the surface and debated for quite some time now. Even though the statistics of bad health somewhat have dropped, the problems still remain. Many companies are wrestling with this and are suffering from huge financial losses due to the costs of people frequently calling in sick for work. This has resulted in an increasingly high expansion of different types of preventive measures in order to avert health problems. But far from all companies reach these goals and it is there for of high value to study how important resources can be used in a more efficient way.The purpose of this study is to achieve a deeper understanding for Health promotive services in companies and to understand which influential factors are crucial in the process of reaching successful strategic Health promotions.
