Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Den här artikeln berör situationer då plagiat kan uppstå. Mer specifikt handlar artikeln om studenters färdigheter och förmågor när det kommer till plagiering eller situationer som skulle kunna förstås som plagiering. En enkät med nio olika situationer skapades i syfte att kartlägga studenters förmåga att identifiera när det kan handla om plagiat. 634 studenter på två olika institutioner vid Göteborgs universitet svarade på enkäten. Resultat och analys visar att studenter generellt hade god förmåga att identifiera enklare fall av plagiat, men klarade sig sämre i mer komplexa fall. Resultaten pekar vidare på att det framförallt är yngre studenter (födda på 90-talet) och akademiskt oerfarna som har lägre träffsäkerhet i sin identifikation. Artikeln avslutas med en reflektion kring undervisning och examination och lyfter särskilt fram tre delar: (i) vikten av att prata om plagiat, (ii) vikten av att arbeta med akademisk integritet och (iii) vikten av att arbeta med akademiskt oerfarna.

Public Administration in transition: Studying understandings and legitimations amongst middle managers within a government agency
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Journal of Language and Politics. - : John Benjamins Publishing Company. - 1569-2159 .- 1569-9862. ; 18:1, s. 107-130
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article focuses on how common-sense knowledge is enacted by middle managers in order to make sense of contemporary public administration. Specifically, the article demonstrates how managerialization and market logics is embedded in actors’ perceptions of public administration and becomes manifested through understandings and legitimations. The article presents an analysis of conversational data from middle management positions within a Swedish government agency. The analysis demonstrates how actors categorize a traditional hierarchy together with contemporary ideas of consumerism. It is also demonstrated how actors draw on legitimations of authority and mythopoesis in order to make sense of and to understand their managerial role within the agency. As such, the article contributes to contemporary public administration literature and its discussion regarding the effects of embedding marketization logics on actor and organizational levels as well as to ethnomethodologically informed literature within the social science and humanities.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this chapter, New Public Management (NPM) reforms are discussed, with focus on the Swedish public sector. The purpose is to question assumptions concerning the emergence of NPM within a Swedish context. A historical review reveals that reforms within the Swedish public sector express a heavy influence from the private sector; the idea of letting business and commercial logics guide the rationales of public-sector reforms can be traced back to the early twentieth century. The findings presented in this chapter are of particular interest for policymakers and public managers within public organizations. One conclusion is that the pragmatism and reformism characterizing Swedish social democracy during the post-World War II era has enabled an adaption and adoption for emerging NPM policies; Scandinavian thinking has not focused on bad practices but rather on evolving reforms. This has resulted in responsiveness for reforms, ultimately leading to a distinctly Swedish form of NPM emerging from the need to satisfy both socialism and capitalism.

The (re)production of accountability in the Swedish public sector
- 2010
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Accountability and responsibility are two notions that are deeply connected and intertwined.The prevailing notion is that personnel should be held accountable foractions made that are connected to the area which they are responsible for. However,contemporary research has tried to understand the underlying assumptions ofwhat accountability is. In this sense accountability becomes the alignment betweenoverall societal norms and individual actions. But whereas previous research hasbeen content with either an actor- or structure approach this paper tries to bridgethese standpoints by engaging Giddens (1984) Structuration theory. Viewing accountabilityas a social system, this paper focuses on extending our knowledge ofhow this is produced and reproduced during organisational change within theSwedish public sector. The case used in this paper derives from in-depth interviews,participatory observations and documental studies of the Swedish social insuranceagency. The analysis is conducted though a separation and identification ofstructures of signification, domination and legitimation. This paper concludes thatthe diverging modes of managerial- and bureaucratic discourses, derived fromchanges in surrounding societal norms and organisational control systems, supportsand reinforces the reproduction of accountability as a social system.

Searching for managerial discretion: How public managers engage managerialism as a rationalization for increased latitude of action
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Public Management Review. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1471-9037 .- 1471-9045. ; 21:3, s. 315-333
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article focuses on the managerial discretion that public managers experience. More specifically, it discusses how managerialism is an embedded ideological stance that influences understandings of public sector governance. I argue that managers’ perceptions of discretion are affected by these understandings. The analysis draws on empirical data from a longitudinal study, demonstrating how public managers engage discourses emanating from managerialism in order to rationalize increased discretion. The findings suggest that customer perspectives functions as a rationalizing factor for engaging public managers’ transition towards increased discretion. As such, this article contributes to knowledge about managerial discretion as well as managerialism.
