Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Higher education institutions (HEIs) have been steadily progressing towards the integrationof sustainable practices in their structures and operations. Several studies have reported the varietyof drivers of change and the barriers to change that universities have found in the integrationprocess. The present investigation is aimed at further characterizing and ranking the drivers for,and barriers of, sustainability integration in HEIs within their structures and operating functions.Open-ended expert opinion interviews of key sustainability leaders appointed at 45 HEIs from10 Latin-American countries were conducted in order to learn lessons from their diverse experiencesof the process. Additionally, a thematic workshop on HEI sustainability was organized to facilitatefurther discussions between 23 sustainability scholars and/or national coordinators of universitynetworks from 11 Latin American countries. As a result, 15 barriers were identified as hinderingthe institutionalization of sustainability in HEIs. This study also examined the relationship betweenthese reported barriers with 13 main drivers that were identified to be facilitating the integration ofsustainable practices within the organizational and academic structures at the universities. The strongcorrespondence between the several observed drivers for, and barriers to, change highlights theimportance of strategic planning that offers integrated actions. The findings of this paper can serveas a reference to assist HEIs in identifying drivers of, and barriers to, sustainability, so that the formercan be fostered and the latter addressed effectively. This can help identify and plan targeted actionsto make the transition towards sustainability in HEIs more natural and effective.

En analys av Arbetsdomstolens arbetsvärdering i ett lönediskrimineringsmål
- 2016
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I uppsatsen genomförs en formell analys av en arbetsvärdering utförd av Arbetsdomstolen(AD) i samband med ett lönediskrimineringsmål år 2001. I målet bedömde AD att en intensivvårdssjuksköterska och en medicintekniker utförde arbeten som i jämställdhetslagens mening bör betraktas som likvärdiga. AD bedömde dock att arbetsgivaren kunde presentera sakliga skäl för att medicinteknikerna hade en högre lön än intensivvårdssjuksköterskan och därmed förelåg inte lönediskriminering enligt jämställdhetslagens bestämmelser i dess lydelse år 2001. Arbetsvärderingen utgick från de i jämställdhetslagen angivna fyra huvudkriterierna krav på kunskap och förmåga, krav på ansvar, krav på ansträngning samt arbetsförhållanden som AD delade upp 20 olika typer av arbetskrav s k faktorer.Resultatet av analysens första huvudfråga är att det som sägs i domskälet ger stöd för att AD tolkar begreppet ‘likvärdigt arbete’ som ett grund-öppet mellanbegrepp, som är vanligt förekommande i juridiska kontexter. Detta innebär, som också AD betonar, att det inte finns någon regel eller metod, som kan tillämpas, utan grunden för beslutet i vilken mån arbetena är likvärdiga måste ytterst baseras på bedömningar. Däremot gäller att följden av beslutet att arbetena är likvärdig är väldefinierad i jämställdhetslagen. Tolkningen tydliggör att en arbetsvärdering ska betraktas som en normativ argumentation för hur lönesättningen bör utformas. Beslutet att arbetena är likvärdiga är m a o inget faktapåstående utan ska betraktas som ett normativt påstående om hur lönen bör sättas.I analysens andra huvudfråga identifieras och diskuteras ett antal oklarheter i AD:s argumentation för att arbetena är likvärdiga. Hur ska AD:s jämförelser av arbetena avseende de olika kraven – de partiella värderingarna – tolkas? Hur ska AD:s sammanvägning tolkas? Hur ska AD:s viktning av de olika kraven tolkas? Oklarheterna gör det svårt för utomstående bedömare att ta ställning till AD:s argumentation i arbetsvärderingen.En allmän slutsats av analysen är att den oklara terminologin som förekommer i arbetsvärderingen kan undvikas om begrepp och principer som utformats inom ramen för flerdimensionell beslutsteori skulle tillämpas. En korrekt tolkning av centrala begrepp och principer är en viktig förutsättning för att beslutsfattaren ska kunna på ett rationellt sätt reflektera över och argumentera för olika bedömningar och beslut i arbetsvärderingsproceduren.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The role of the “wounded healer” can have positive effects for former offenders as regards desistance and social (re)integration; however, research focusing on wounded healing/peer mentoring from a gender perspective is limited. Drawing on fieldwork conducted in Swedish peer support organizations (PESOs) for former offenders and qualitative interviews with former offenders working in five different PESOs, this study analyses how masculinity and support are performed and narrated by 15 wounded healers/peer mentors (men = 11, women = 4, age range 19–60 y/o). It contributes to knowledge about gendered power dynamics of peer support by showing that while masculinity can and do function as capital in peer support work, some displays of masculinity can trigger trauma, with negative consequences for women within PESOs.

Anti-doping and legitimacy : an international survey of elite athletes’ perceptions
- 2016

Ingår i: International Journal of Sport Policy. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1940-6940 .- 1940-6959. ; , s. 491-514

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Anti-doping work is a comprehensive enterprise that entails control and governance of elite athletes’ everyday lives. However, in policy-making regarding doping and anti-doping in elite sports, the athletes’ perspective has not been considered adequately. Focusing on elite athletes’ perceptions of anti-doping as both principle and praxis, the study aimed to analyse how these perceptions can be understood from a legitimacy perspective. A survey study involving 261 elite athletes from 51 different countries and four international sports federations was conducted. The results showed that the athletes did not question the legitimacy of the rules, but had concerns about the legitimacy of the way the rules and principles are enforced in practice, specifically with regard to matters of privacy, lack of efficiency and equal conditions as well as athletes’ involvement in the anti-doping work. The article describes how athletes’ perceptions of the legitimacy of anti-doping work constitute the basis for their willingness to follow regulations as well as a precondition for the work’s functionality and stability. In light of this finding, the article calls for the empowerment of athletes in anti-doping work.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- PurposeThis paper aims to conceptualize impacts of higher education institutions (HEIs) on sustainable development (SD), complementing previous literature reviews by broadening the perspective from what HEIs do in pursuit of SD to how these activities impact society, the environment and the economy.Design/methodology/approachThe paper provides a systematic literature review of peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2005 and 2017. Inductive content analysis was applied to identify major themes and impact areas addressed in the literature to develop a conceptual framework detailing the relationship between HEIs’ activities and their impacts on SD.FindingsThe paper identifies six impact areas where direct and indirect impacts of HEIs on SD may occur. The findings indicate a strong focus on case studies dealing with specific projects and a lack of studies analyzing impacts from a more holistic perspective.Practical implicationsThis systematic literature review enables decision-makers in HEIs, researchers and educators to better understand how their activities may affect society, the environment and the economy, and it provides a solid foundation to tackle these impacts.Social implicationsThe review highlights that HEIs have an inherent responsibility to make societies more sustainable. HEIs must embed SD into their systems while considering their impacts on society.Originality/valueThis paper provides a holistic conceptualization of HEIs’ impacts on SD. The conceptual framework can be useful for future research that attempts to analyze HEIs’ impacts on SD from a holistic perspective.

Collaboration for sustainability : A systems-oriented holistic perspective
- 2019
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Companies have been under increasing pressure to engage with stakeholders to advance their sustainability engagement. Collaboration has been recognised as a key element in such efforts. While the need for collaboration among organisations is increasingly recognised, there is still a need to better understand with whom companies collaborate, and how stakeholders might influence the process. This study analyses how companies collaborate in regards to sustainability and highlights the need to differentiate between influence on stakeholders and importance when establishing collaboration partnerships. This research proposes a collaboration for sustainability model including internal and external stakeholders on the vertical and horizontal level.
