The field of work and employment is constantly undergoing changes. In order to help organizations to adjust to new conditions, different models for organizing have been developed. Many of these models are spread worldwide, due to the need for organizations to meet demands of flexibility and efficiency. In this study, a small number of models, which contains solutions of how to organize work in Human Resources, have been selected. The author and scientist Dave Ulrich, who has had a large influence on the development of the work in Human Resources, originally founded these models.The aim of this study was to examine how these models were functioning, in reference to the different departments of Human Resources labor within the township of Uppsala.

This study is an attempt to examine how hospital libraries should develop its activities towards their target groups in time of reductions. The method was a case study of the hospital libraries in Uddevalla and Trollhättan. An opinion poll was carried out among a selection of hospital staff, patients, medical researchers and students. In addition a patient group at some wards was observed. The libraries in the study produce an annual report, which presents a proposal for developments.

The study examines the meaning of having a dog in the workplace of personnel who work with therapy. The purpose was to examine the personnel?s view of dogs in their work envi-ronment. The study uses two theories. One is ?psychosocial work environment? and the other theory used is ?symbolic interactionism?.

In order to broaden the understanding of work motivation the aim of the study was to compare how three different teams within the same organization constructed motivation. The three teams consisted of post sorters, team leaders and mailmen. Three focus group interviews were conducted with three men and eight women. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed with QSR NUD*IST. The result showed both similarities and differences in the construction of work motivation in the three teams.

Undersökningens syfte var att se hur den interna marknadsföringen ser ut i en imaginär organisation. Intern marknadsföring i ett nätverk eller en imaginär organisation är komplicerad då det inte bara är den egna personalen som skall nås utan även andra aktörer i nätverket. Konfektionsföretaget GANT har i litteraturen blivit utpekad som ett typexempel på en imaginär organisation, varför jag valde att genomföra min undersökning hos ledarföretaget för GANT, Pyramid Sportswear AB. De slutsatser jag har dragit är att det inte finns ett medvetet internt marknadsföringsprogram för hela GANT, och inte heller för den varuproducerande delen. Den interna marknadsföring som sker finns att finna i den tjänsteproducerande delen av GANT, vilket synliggörs mest påtagligt i det svenska återförsäljarnätet..

DokumentationsbladDatum: 2007-08-28Nivå: Examensarbete DFörfattare: Henrik LarssonHandledare: Christina HultbomRapportens titel: Motivationsarbete i praktiken ? Hur arbetar personalcheferna på akademiska sjukhuset i Uppsala för att motivera personalen?Problem: Det finns många teorier om vad som motiverar människor på arbetet, men i vilken utsträckning stämmer teorierna överens med motivationsarbetet på akademiska sjukhuset?Forskningsfråga: Hur arbetar personalcheferna på akademiska sjukhuset i Uppsala för att motivera personalen?Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur personalcheferna vid Akademiska sjukhuset i Uppsala tänker och arbetar kring arbetet med att motivera personal utifrån Herzbergs tvåfaktorteori.Avgränsningar: I uppsatsen bortses från alla övriga faktorer som kan antas ha betydelse för motivationsarbetet på en arbetsplats förutom de som beskrivs i Herzbergs (1993) tvåfaktorteori.Teori och modell: Uppsatsen utgår från Frederick Herzbergs bok The motivation to work.Metod: Enkät och intervjuundersökning.Resultat: I stort sett finns ett stöd och en medvetenhet för de faktorer Herzberg listar i The motivation to work bland undersökningens respondenter. Underbemanning samt organisationens storlek gör det dock svårt att bedriva ett aktivt motivationsarbete.Sökord: motivation, arbetsmotivation, organisation, motivationsarbete, Herzberg.

Organising knowledge in a corporate environment : a case study at the development departments of Ecophon ABThe purpose of this master's thesis is to investigate how three development departments of a technical firm could organise their collection of documents and information resources to improve their management of information. Three sets of questions have been posed: 1) How does the target group of engineers deal with information, and what problems can be identified in this process? 2) What does their collection of resources consist of, how is it organised, and what problems are apparent? 3) How can principles of knowledge organisation be applied in a corporate environment?The investigation has been carried out as a case study. Three main methods of collecting empirical data have been used: surveys, unstructured interviews and collection observations. The results of the study have highlighted three major problem areas: the collection's lack of structure and searchability, the absence of policy regarding how employers should deal with information, and the inadequate knowledge among staff on how to search for, use and disseminate information.By looking at previous research on knowledge organisation, we have been able to draw conclusions regarding how the target group could organise and manage its information and knowledge in order to achieve greater efficiency in dealing with information and carrying out work tasks.

The aim of the study is to examine different statements for and against regional identity in the research of the new organisation of the Swedish society. The aim is also to observe in what extend the Swedish committee of responsibility has had an awareness of the identity politics in its effort to improve the presumptions for the new, successful regional division.The questions are:1. In which ways do the opinions of the participant of the work of the committee of responsibility, coincide and differ when it comes to the importance of the regional identity in the case of a new regional division?2. How has the committee of responsibility worked on development of consciousness and mobilisation for the creation of the regional identity in its final report?A method called the argumentation analysis was used in this study.

This report describes the work with creating a CMS (Content Manager System). A CMS is a web tool so you easy can publish materials on your web page. With a CM Scan you can without any knowledge of programming web pages create and maintain a web page. This will result in that you and your organisation save time and money. You can also split the responsibility for the webpage in different roles, but still keep the control. We have chosen to create our CMS in a script language called php4 and with the database server MySQL, we have also used JavaScript a lot.

Slutsats: Det finns ingen perfekt mall som ska användas vid förändringar. Detta gäller i synnerhet förändringar som handlar om införande av en ny IT baserad arbetsrutin i en traditionsbunden organisation. Reaktioner på en förändring och på införande av ny teknik är olika från person till person, från organisation till organisation. Vi har genom denna uppsats kommit fram till att det finns ett antal nyckelord som borde tas i beaktande samt tillämpas om en förändring ska accepteras av personalen. · Information · Kommunikation · Väcka intresse och motivation · Uppföljning av arbetets gång.

Our purpose is to analyse three different epistemological discourses that exist in the social practice, Library and Information Science LIS, using the strategy for interpretation from the mimesis model by Paul Ricoeur and the terms from the critical discourse analysis by Norman Fairclough. The aim is also to explore there different views of knowledge organisation. We review previous research involving epistemology, knowledge organisation and discourse analysis in LIS. These show that there are many different epistemological standpoints and that later research has shown a more critical and sceptical state of knowledge organisation than earlier traditional positivist ideals. Discourse analysis is described as an important theory and method in LIS.

In the current situation there is not much written about assessment of laboratory work, and the majority of the working physics teachers are retiring and there are only a few newly qualified physics teachers. The purpose of this thesis is to examine how physics teachers assess laboratory work within upper secondary schools, with Gy2011 in mind. The new grade system, Gy2011, has a larger focus on the laboratory work then the earlier system Lpf 94. Skolverket has in their man-ual with examples of assessment two different sorts of laboratory experiments. The first assess-ment is regarding the planning of a laboratory work and the other about how able the pupil exe-cutes laboratory work.
