Studien avser att undersöka arbetsrelaterad stress och dess betydelse för relationer i privatlivet. Vidare undersöker studien betydelsen av arbetsrelaterad stress för den egna identiteten. Studien utfördes genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med åtta deltagare vid ett mindre företag. Intervjuerna byggdes på fyra större teman: synen på den egna identiteten, förändring av identiteten, relationer och gränsen mellan arbetsliv och privatliv.Resultatet visar att arbetsrelaterad stress och arbetsbörda har en betydande innebörd för relationer i privatlivet samt den egna identiteten. Genom att ta tid från privatlivet för att istället spendera denna på arbetsrelaterade uppgifter minskar möjligheten till vårdande av sociala band.

Syftet med uppsatsen är dels teoretisk i form av att reda ut begreppet social redovisning samt hur social redovisning och hållbarhetsredovisning förhåller sig till varandra, och dels empirisk då jag ämnar undersöka huruvida denna redovisningsform bättre kan visa en verksamhets effektivitet bättre än traditionell redovisning där verksamheten har sociala verksamhetsmål. Studieobjektet i denna undersökning är KulturAkademin, vilken är ett gemenskapsföretag vars primära verksamhetsmål är att driva musikskolan i Storuman.För att uppnå detta syfte genomfördes fyra intervjuer med personer som har erfarenhet av social redovisning eller företag med sociala verksamhetsmål eller en kombination av de båda.Undersökningen visar att det finns två olika uppfattningar om vad begreppet social redovisning innebär. En mening är att begreppet kan likställas med begreppet hållbarhetsredovisning som är en redovisning i tre dimensioner ? ekonomisk, social och miljömässig dimension och en mening är att det är en redovisningsform som visar de sociala effekterna av en verksamhet dvs en av de tre dimensionerna i hållbarhetsredovisning.Vad gäller det empiriska syftet är undersökningens resultat tydligt. En social redovisning skulle visa KulturAkademins effektivitet bättre än en traditionell redovisning då den traditionella endast visar ett verksamhets resultat ur en ekonomisk aspekt.

Quality is the key to a well executed product or service. The construction industry hasn?t highlighted the quality in recent times which have contributed to the construction industry receiving much criticism in the field. The public sees it as an offhanded industry where errors and delays are common.The reason for this is considered to be primarily the lack of time, constant pressure to reduce costs and skills and the ability to communicate between the parties about what the correct quality really means. The industry has begun to realize that it must start setting clearer standards and that there are great opportunities for improvement.This report will give Peab an opportunity to develop their quality work.
