Anställdas attityd till miljön och miljöledningssystemet
ALSTOM Power Sweden AB
Today environmental management systems (EMS) are common documents (more correctly, a combination of documents) that direct, steer and regulate environmental efforts within many companies. The intention of EMS is that its guidelines are reflected in how the employee carries out his everyday work tasks. This study aims to illuminate the attitudes that exist regarding the EMS at ALSTOM Power Sweden. By using questionnaires and interviews as a method to communicate with employees,a study of the existing attitudes regarding the EMS was carried out. The results were analyzed categorically and statistically and show that there are consistent attitudes among employees, but that there are also inconsistent attitudes. Differences in attitude and conceptions are especially apparent when comparing management to their employees in some cases, which may be explained by looking at organizational structure and means of communication. Viewing the issues from this perspective may aid in future improvements of the EMS at ALSTOM.
