AbstractThe purpose with this study was to get knowledge if there are any possible differences in, and correlation between, experienced stress, experienced demands, experienced control and experienced social support in correlation to Shiftwork.The study was made at two central hospitals in south of Sweden and had 90 participants (78 women and 12 men) that answered a questionnaire in the current variables. The result in experienced stress showed that there were no differences between shift workers. The results showed a difference between the day- and the nightshift in the correlation between control and stress. The writers speculates that the reason why the nightshift experience high stressvalues with high control can depend on the lack of presence by higher managers, compared with the dayshift. .

Från att ha setts som ett kall har synen på sjuksköterskeyrket successivt förändrats till att vara en profession med helt nya krav. Vi lever idag i ett 24-timmars samhälle och bedriver sjukvård dygnet runt. Att arbeta på oregelbunden arbetstid ? skiftarbete, har många negativa effekter på hälsan. Dygnsrytmen rubbas, och kan ge biologiska, fysiologiska och sociala störningar vilket gör att sjuksköterskans livsvärld påverkas och därmed också hennes hälsa vilket kan leda till lidande och utmattningssymtom.

Bakgrund: Mot bakgrunden av den allt högre graden av globalisering har nätverk fått en allt större betydelse för företag och organisationer. Globaliseringen har lett till en ökad konkurrens vilket har gjort att företag och organisationer idag upplever en större osäkerhet. Nätverk har därför blivit ett effektivt sätt att hantera denna osäkerhet på. Projektform har blivit den vanligaste arbetsformen i nätverk som med flera olika aktörer kräver en tydlig styrning, kommunikation och samarbete för att lyckas. Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att genom intervjuer med nätverksorganisationer förklara och beskriva hur de arbetar med utvärdering och prestationsmätning i projekt med deltagande medlemsorganisationer.

The foremost objective of business organizations is to generate value for shareholders and to opt for strategies which optimize it. Hence it is of key concern for business leaders to appreciate how operations best are run to maximize value creation. This study explores how financial theory can reveal the link between one particular business strategy and the corresponding effect on shareholder wealth. The question in focus is whether construction companies can enhance their value creation by implementing shift-work to increase the weekly production rate. The thesis particularly targets apartment block projects in Sweden and has the construction company Peab AB as primary object of study.
