Under de senaste decennierna har det blivit allt populärare att organisera olika typer av verk­samheter i team. Vår avsikt med detta examensarbete var att skapa en förståelse för vad ett team är, när team är det bästa arbetssättet, hur man förankrar ett team samt vilka faktorer organisationer bör ta i beaktande i strävan att skapa ett väl fungerande team. I vår empiriska undersökning genomfördes semistrukturerade intervjuer med ledningen och teamledarna inom en organisation som nyligen infört en teambaserad organisation. I resultaten speglas ledningens och teamledarnas upplevelser av denna process. Våra resultat visar att det finns många faktorer som bör tas i beaktande då man organiserar verksamheten i team.

When the population is getting older, the need for complex care and nursing interventions in elderly care increases. To create a holistic view of the elder and their life situation, interprofessional team collaboration is often desirable and necessary. Teamwork is often described in positive terms, but previous research has shown that this work method is complicated and requires constant reflection and development. The purpose of this study was to investigate how elderly care teamwork is formed in the interaction between representatives of different professionals. To accomplish this purpose, we have studied how the team members define a well-functioning teamwork and difficulties, and how consensus is achieved in the team.

Vi har i den här uppsatsen valt att undersöka om den familjeterapeutiska metoden reflekterande team går att använda som reflektionsmodell för att efterarbeta en teaterupplevelse i gymnasieskolan. Vi har genomfört en studie på tre olika gymnasieskolor i en skånsk stad. Undersökningstillfällena började med att vi spelade upp Harold Pinters ?I väntan på Wilson? för eleverna för att efter föreställningen genomföra ett reflekterande arbete med en pedagogisk variant av metoden reflekterande team. Gruppen bildade två cirklar av stolar, en inre och en yttre, med lika många deltagare i båda cirklar.

Bakgrund: När individer från olika kulturer möts och arbetar tillsammans uppstår det ofta missförstånd och konflikter.

Att arbeta i team är något som blivit allt vanligare på senare tid. Många organisationer har övergivit den traditionella hierarkiska organisationsstrukturen och övergått till att införa en teambaserad organisationsform. Att arbeta i team innebär att teammedlemmarna tillsammans, genom nära och intensivt samarbete, kan utveckla idéer och fatta beslut som inte är möjligt individuelltför var och en av dem. Detta ställer krav på att organisationskultur, interna organisationssystem och ledarskap utvecklas och att de stödjer den nya strukturen. Vårt syfte med denna litteraturstudie är att beskriva ledarskapet av självstyrande team med utgångspunkt i litteraturen.

Earlier research has shown that generational differences between younger-supervisors and older-workers may cause tensions that lead to team ineffectiveness. There is however still a lack of research in this area. This thesis presents possible tensions that might occur between a younger supervisor and an older worker due to their age and generational affiliation, and how these tensions affect the team dynamics. The empirical data collection was limited to the boundaries of the dental care industry where these generational/age differences between younger supervisor and older worker are common. The thesis looks at the tensions from a qualitative perspective and data was collected in the form of in-depth interviews with selected dentists and nurses.
