Det primära syftet med studien var att bidra med kunskap om hur kulturstyrning arbetas med och upplevs av organisationsmedlemmar på en offentlig organisation. Ytterligare ett syfte var att genom det kritiska perspektivet som teoretisk lins i analysen också synliggöra vilka underliggande maktmekanismer som föreligger i organisationsmedlemmarnas meningsskapande av kulturen. För att besvara studiens The primary purpose of the study was to contribute with knowledge about how culture management is realized in a public organization and further how it is experienced by its organization members. Another purpose was to make visible, through the critical perspective as a theoretical lens in the analysis, what underlying power mechanisms exists in the organization members' sensemaking processes a

The problem of growing waste and its management is global. The Chinese central government has tried several municipal solid waste (MSW) management pilot programs, but few of them succeeded. In this case study, the 2017 program applied the Target Responsibility System (TRS) to incentive 46 pilot cities to implement the specific requirements by the end of 2020.This thesis analyzes the heterogeneity

To create a deeper understanding of the phenomenon, the purpose of this research is to make sense of how dental students in a male-dominated profession that changes into a female-dominated profession perceive gender stereotypes and th

In this bachelor’s thesis, the employer preferences among Generation Z individuals are explored. Generation Z is currently the youngest generation entering the labour market. The entrance of Generation Z individuals is predicted to come with new challenges for firms in how to attract and retain skilful employees from this generation. By conducting a quantitative study, business students from Swe

Detta examensarbete har undersökt bildandet av vätecyanid (HCN) i linfrö (hela, krossade och olja). Fröna är idag populära att konsumera på grund av dess innehåll av fiber och fleromättade fettsyror. Livsmedelsverket rekommenderar ett intag på maximalt 1–2 msk hela linfrö/dag. Vid krossning bildar frönas cyanogena glykosider (ett typ av växtgift) vätecyanid som i större mängder även påverkar oss mThis degree project has analyzed the forming of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in linseed (whole, grinded and oil). The seeds are popular to consume mostly because of their high content of fiber and polyunsaturated fatty acids. The Swedish food administration recommends a maximum intake of 1-2 tablespoon of whole linseed per day. When crushing the seeds, the cyanogenic glycosides forms HCN, which can affe

Abstrakt Sömnen är en av grundpelarna för att vi ska kunna leva och fungera som människor. Inom intensivvården hamnar sömnen ofta i skymundan till förmån för medicinsk vård. Som intensivvårdssjuksköterska har man ett stort ansvar att se till hela patienten och dennes komfort. Syftet med denna prospektiva observationsstudie var att undersöka frekvensen av störningar nattetid på en intermediärsal på

We aim to increase the understanding of how social intrapreneurs give meaning to their organisational sustainability engagements with a specific focus on the SDG framework. Research Question: “How do individuals assigned with the management of organisational sustainability initiatives give meaning to their engagements within the context of the SDG framework?”. Our study contributes to the extant l

Swedish cities are getting denser. People spend a lot of time indoors, it therefore becomes important to guarantee daylight availability and solar access in buildings, in order to save energy and ensure human well-being. However, this becomes important in the case of outdoor spaces as well. Outdoor spaces can become places that invite people to stay. Thus, spending less time indoors, having as a p

Tystnadskultur bland tjänstemän inom kommunala verksamheter har varit ett debatterat ämne i Sverige de senaste åren. Svenska tjänstemän har en unik position i den kommunala verksamheten där de både ska vara opolitiska och samtidigt bidra med objektiv fakta till beslutsunderlaget. Befintlig forskning argumenterar för hur strategisk intern kommunikation kan användas för att skapa ett öppet kommunikaThe experience of a culture of silence among officials in municipal workplaces in Sweden has been a debated topic for the last few years. Swedish officials have a unique position in municipalities where they both must be unpolitical and at the same time contribute objective facts to the decision-making process. Existing research argues that strategic internal communication can be used to create an

Den högsta ledningens kommunikation är av stor vikt i organisationer, då den utgör grunden för övergripande styrning och strategi, samt skapar förutsättningarna för en enad verksamhet. Trots vikten av ledningskommunikationen i organisationer saknas förståelse för fenomenet ur ett medarbetarperspektiv. Denna studie utgår från ett medarbetarperspektiv, med avgränsning till generation Y, samt ett komThe top management's communication is of great importance in organizations, as it forms the basis for overall governance and strategy, and creates the conditions for a unified business. This study is based on an employee perspective, with a limitation to generation Y, as well as a communicative perspective on leadership. With the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, the conditions for organization

Denna studie syftar till att bidra till förståelsen hur organisationer inom den offentliga sektorn använder kommunikation för att reparera och återuppbygga förtroende, och för att förstå vilka typer av strategier de nyttjar för det ändamålet. För att uppnå detta har en kvalitativ analys av Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap kommunikation under covid-19-krisen och myndighetens interna krisThe aim of this study is to contribute to the understanding of how organizations in the public sector use communication to repair and rebuild reputation, and to understand what kinds of strategies that they use for that purpose. To achieve this an analysis of the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency’s communication during the covid-19 crisis and the agency's internal crisis at the end of 2020 an

Contributor to climate change, cities are the major responsible for a great amount of natural resource consumption and global waste production as a consequence of the ”take, make, dispose" aspects of our linear economic model. In face of this issue, Circular Economy (CE) is a new concept that seeks to decouple economic growth from the consumption of finite resources by shifting the linear eco

Digitaliseringen och framväxten av internet har inneburit stora förändringar i hur organisationer kommunicerar externt, och forskning indikerade att nya digitala marknadsföringsstrategier som Inbound Marketing hade en ökad effektivitet hos privata företag till följd av det nya digitala landskapet. Trots detta fanns inga tidigare studier kring strategins potentiella värde för offentliga organisatioThe digitalization and rise of the internet have led to major changes in how organizations communicate externally, and research indicated that new digital marketing strategies such as Inbound Marketing had an increased effectiveness in private companies as a result of the new digital landscape. Despite this, there were no previous studies on the potential value of the strategy for public organizat

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly transformed the world of academia, forcing many academics to begin working remotely, disrupting their work-life balance. Late-career academics are under-represented in the literature when it comes to their understanding of work-life balance and remote work. For this reason, we decided to combine the concepts of work-life balance and remote work, and explore the pe

Personlig varumärkning är ett koncept som innebär att varumärken och dess image till stor del identifieras med en person. Personliga varumärken kommer med stora fördelar, exempelvis att en djupare relation etableras mellan organisation och konsument, vilket kan vara svårt att uppnå för en mer opersonlig organisation. Däremot kommer det även med större risker, som att organisationen och personen baPersonal branding is a concept that is based on brands and their image being largely identified with a person. Personal brands come with many benefits, for example that a deeper relationship is established between the organization and the consumer, which can be difficult to achieve for a more general organization. However, it also comes with greater risks, being the organization and people behind

Alberta’s Tar Sands are one of the most environmentally and socially destructive fossil fuel projects on Earth. Socio-political resistance or acceptance will determine the Tar Sands’ future: whether production continues or whether it is phased out to ensure meaningful climate action in Canada. I examined how news media communicates a “Just Transition” from the Tar Sands and proposed that their wri

The global energy system is still dependent on fossil fuels, but it has become necessary to change this system immediately. In this research, I conduct a case study of the Central Java province in Indonesia to consider how an energy transition can be implemented at the subnational level. I investigate factors influencing the adoption of renewable energy in the province. I use the multi-level persp

Backshoring has been the focus of a growing body of research in recent years, with several different determinants having been postulated through theoretical perspectives in the previous research. This study aims to determine how applicable these perspectives and their reasoning are to cases of backshoring of six Swedish companies. In this context backshoring is defined as the relocation of product
