The aim of this study is to create an increased understanding of shared leadership and how it takes shape in the relationship between first-line managers in human service organizations. Shared leadership is seen as a complement to the traditional one-man leadership and briefly means that two managers share the role that usually is held by a single leader. The study has a qualitative approach based on semi-structured interviews with managers in human service organizations. The interviews mention the mangers thoughts and experiences about shared leadership and gain approval in the hermeneutic science field. The study is analyzed based on symbolic interactionism where perspectives from the theoreticians Mead and Goffman are used.

Earlier research has shown that young and adult citizens in Europe participate in politics in different ways. While adult citizens participate in more traditional ways, non-traditional ways are more frequent among younger citizens. Moreover, issue-based participation increases when Europeans turn away from mainstream politics. Citizens in the European Union EU-15 between 15-24 ages are likely to be ?critical? citizens of a working democracy compared to people in older ages (Sloam, 2016).

Vad handlar regeringsuppdrag Frivillig återvandring om? Detta var frågan vi ställde oss under uppsatsens gång. Med hjälp av en kvalitativ metod i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer var förhoppningen att förstå regeringsuppdraget och dess syfte i det svenska samhället. Genom begrepp så som segregation, stigmatisering, rationalitet, solidaritet och genom de relationella och punktuella perspektiven har vi fått en förståelse inför invandrarens problematik till anpassning i det svenska samhället då denne kan uppleva problematik då invandraren har svårt att få det stöd denne behöver till att ta ett beslut i frågor om att stanna eller återvandra. Vi har även valt att behandla Foucaults begrepp om den disciplinerande makten då staten och samhället försvårar beslutet invandraren står inför.

Syfte: Utifrån lagförslagen om åtgärder mot skattefel i SOU 2008:32 vill vi se om och hur företagen påverkas. Metod: I vår uppsats har vi använt oss utav en kvantitativ metod där vi tillsammans med Företagarna har gjort ett utskick till dess medlemmar för att kunna besvara vårt syfte. I denna del ska framgå vilken metod har använts för att utföra studien, hur data har samlats in, analyserats och redovisats.Resultat & slutsats: Vi har kommit fram till att många företag kommer att skrämmas till att välja revision, men den största delen företag är oberoende av förslagen. Oberoende av fråga tenderade svaren att se likadana ut.Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Det förslag som vi har till fortsatt forskning är vad de olika intressenterna kommer att vilja ha för finansiell information då frivillig revision gäller. Uppsatsens bidrag: Denna uppsats ger läsaren en indikation på hur företagen resonerar kring de lagförslag om åtgärder mot skattefel som en utredning på uppdrag av regeringen har utfört..

I en butiksmedarbetares vardag uppkommer ständigt frågor vilka många gånger berörs av arbetsrätten. Det kan konstateras att medarbetares kunskaper gällande bland annat anställningsbevis, anställningsskydd samt rättigheter och skyldigheter varierar i hög grad. Det har här visat sig att erfarenhet hos medarbetare är en starkt bidragande faktor. För att få en ökad medvetenhet hos medarbetarna kan även chefens ledarstil komma att påverka, då denne överlag besitter viss kunskap gällande lagar och regler som delvis omfattas av arbetsrätten. Chefens ledarstil påverkar även medarbetarskapet och motivationen på arbetsplatserna.
