Mod i strid och filosofi : Dygdetiska perspektiv från Aristoteles till drönarkriget
- 2017
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Mod är en egenskap som hyllats i alla krigförande kulturer. Konsten, litteraturen och filosofin har ofta tagit upp modet som tema, både för att befästa ett militärt ideal och för att problematisera denna egenskap. Men vad är egentligen mod? Var går gränsen till övermod? Vad utmärker mod i strid, och kan man träna soldater att bli modiga? Dessa frågeställningar tar plats även i vår tid där krig och försvar diskuteras i dagens militära miljöer, och frågor om etik är lika aktuella som frågor om effektivitet.I Mod i strid och filosofi studerar författarna historiska perspektiv på mod och dagsaktuell forskning kring strid och militär utbildning. Förr talade man om mod eller tapperhet som en av flera eftersträvansvärda dygder – idag talar man hellre om professionalism. Men hur mycket skiljer sig egentligen den moderna tidens militära ideal från de historiska? Kan vi lära oss något av den dygdetik som i århundraden användes för att forma modiga individer och tappra krigare?

Novice principals coping strategies during the Covid-19 pandemic in Sweden
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Educational Management Administration & Leadership. - : SAGE Publications. - 1741-1432 .- 1741-1440.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study presents findings from a qualitative case study where principals (n = 193), studying a national principal training programme, participated in a study exploring novice principals’ perceptions of how their leadership was impacted during the recent Covid-19 pandemic. A model classification of stressful situations related to coping strategies was used as the theoretical framework for the study and used in the content analysis with a deductive approach. In small groups, the principals used a specific conversation model and discussed their experiences of how their leadership had been affected during the pandemic. The findings showed that principals identified a lack of clarity and situations linked to the adaption to new rules required over time when staff and student absenteeism were consistent challenges. The majority of situations that the principals described can be linked to unclear but affectable situations, where they had to make uncomfortable decisions but also provide security and solutions. Principals mainly used problem-oriented stress management strategies by searching for information, analysing and finding new solutions.

Genus, risk och kris
- 2020. - 1
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Genus, risk och kris riktar fokus mot strukturer, normer och värderingar som kännetecknar det svenska samhällets syn på risk- och krishantering. Bokens olika kapitel ger exempel på och lyfter fram vikten av att kritiskt granska hur maktordningar arbetats in i processer av risk- och krishantering i nutida såväl som historisk kontext. Därtill ges förslag på teoretisk och metodologisk utveckling av forskning och praktik avseende genus och dess multipla maktordningarför risker och kriser.Risker och kriser drabbar samhället återkommande, i olika form ochmed olika konsekvenser. Arbetet med riskanalyser, beredskap och krishantering har traditionellt associerats med män och maskulinitet medan sårbarhet och utsatthet setts i förhållande till kvinnor. Författarna ger exempel på och lyfter fram hur maktordningar arbetas in i processer av risk- och krishantering.'Bland de områden som diskuteras utifrån empiriska exempel finns hemberedskap, arbetet med samhällets risker och sårbarhet, hälsorisker samt särskilda krishändelser, som den stora skogsbranden iVästmanland 2014 och den så kallade flyktingkrisen.I bokens teoriutvecklande kapitel diskuteras intersektionell riskteori samt relationen mellan maskuliniteter och klimatkrisen. Denna variation ger ett brett användningsområde i såväl teoretiska kurser som i tillämpad utbildning.Boken vänder sig till studenter på universitet och högskolor i samhällsvetenskapliga och naturvetenskapliga ämnen med inslag av frågor som rör risker och krishändelser samt yrkesverksamma inom risk- och krishantering.

Facilitating and straining factors affecting the health and sustainability of young managers in a modern mining industry : Self-fulfilment and development - a buffer for young managers?
- 2023

Ingår i: Arbetsliv i omvandling. - Lund : Lunds universitet. - 1404-8426. ; :2, s. 3-53
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To be able to attract, retain and develop talented individuals to managerial positions is important for organizations. Recently, however, there are indications that young professionals are reluctant to accept a leadership role. There is a lack of research exploring the reasons for this reluctance and investigating the working conditions and health of young managers; especially within heavy industries such as mining. The aim of the study is to gain a deeper understanding of the factors affecting the health and sustainability of young managers in the mining industry. A qualitative case study is conducted based on in-depth interviews with 10 managers aged 35 years or younger at a large international mining company in Northern Europe. A content analysis indicated several straining and facilitating aspects of the work situation in terms of maintaining sustainability and good health. The resulting themes are analyzed and discussed through the lens of the Job-demand-control-support (JDCS) model. Perceived stimulation, growth, and development seems to have a facilitating role in promoting sustainability and health, and is one theme that stood out from complete adaptation to the model. The study contributes with insights into how this model can be applied to a specific professional group (young managers) and in a certain context (mining and similar heavy industry). The findings have practical implications for organizations regarding the ability to ensure good, healthy, attractive, and sustainable working conditions for young managers.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Baserat på trettiotre djupintervjuer med undersköterskor, sjuksköterskor och läkare analyseras betydelsen av smittspridningen av sars-coronavirus-2 för arbete inom vård- och omsorgssektorn i Sverige. Resultaten visar att arbetssituationen upplevs som i grunden förändrad vilket inkluderar relationer till patienter (hygien, vårdplanering), anhöriga (kontakt) och kollegor emellan (personalplanering, kommunikation). Samtidigt beskrivs arbetet fortgå som vanligt i relation till patienter (hygien, nära vård, medicinering). Utifrån en diskussion kring betydelsen arbetsintensifiering och flexibilitet bidrar analysen till en förståelse för dynamiken mellan kontinuitet och förändring på mikronivå, i det vardagliga, praktiska arbetet för personal inom vård och omsorgssektorn i Sverige.

Structure versus freedom of action : Leadership during the rescue operation following the 2004 tsunami
- 2010
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Emergency Management. - 1471-4825 .- 1741-5071. ; 7:3-4, s. 304-322
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of this study was to develop a theoretical understanding of leadership during a complex rescue operation following a major disaster in a foreign country. The analysis followed a grounded theory approach. Seventeen informants from three Swedish authorities were interviewed on leadership in the emergency handling of the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia. A theoretical conceptualisation was developed which includes three superior categories: antecedent conditions, situational constraints and core aspects of leadership. Within the last-mentioned superior category a core variable was identified: a balance between the need for structure and the need for freedom. Leaders who strive to create structure at the expense of freedom of action are less inclined to delegate and more likely to wear themselves out. Conversely, those who strive to create great freedom of action bypass many links in the organisational chain, thus 'short-circuiting' the organisation as a whole.

From common operating picture to situational awareness
- 2014
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Emergency Management. - 1471-4825 .- 1741-5071. ; 10:1, s. 28-47
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of this study is to investigate what influences the formation of a common operating picture and situational awareness during collaborative efforts to deal with complex disasters. Particular focus is given to the relationship between the operating picture and situational awareness. The study was conducted using qualitative interviews and a grounded theory approach, and is based on interview data from three crisis events. The results show that the operating picture is influenced by information coming together from different sources and forming a snapshot of the event, a portrait which changes and is updated over time, while organisational belonging, role and occupationally specific knowledge provide a framework for and influence situational awareness. The results also show that the operating picture forms the basis for an occupationally specific and role-based situational awareness and its subsequent decision-making. Further studies on the relation between common operating picture, sense making and situational awareness are discussed.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper illustrates the role of sociology at the Sweden military academies. In Finding a suitable balance between theoretical and practical education seems to have been a major thread through Swedish officer education from the eighteenth century to the present day. The emphasis has been on education that is closely linked to the military war positions, with extensive elements of combat planning and carrying out of military operations. But as tasks have changed, areas such as leadership and organizations have become more important and the positions of sociological theories and perspective have gradually increased. The belief put forward here is that the demand för sociology eill increase for two reasons: the current struggle to make Swedish officer education more university-like and, more important, the need for sociological knowledge yhat will grow the more the Defence Forces engagement will be engaged in the international arena.

The Swedish Reserve Officer: Filling Vacancies or Using Competences
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Armed forces and society. - : SAGE. - 0095-327X .- 1556-0848. ; 37:2, s. 284-300
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Abstract The aim of this study is to examine the reserve force’s role in and contribution to the new Swedish expeditionary armed forces. Survey data were obtained from 418 reservists. The results show that reserve officers are well educated and hold high positions in the civil society. According to the reserve officers themselves, the Armed Forces do not ask for their nonmilitary competence. The discontent with this situation is greater among the younger reservists as opposed to the older ones. Four different opinions on the need for the reserve officers are suggested. First, reserve officers are requested to fill vacancies, that is, a volume regulator. Second, the reserve officers are needed because they have unique competences other than military that are used by the armed forces. Third, reserve officers are needed from an economic point of view. Finally, reserve officers contribute to the civil–military relationship. However, when using a framework intended for regular officers, the contribution of the reserve officers’ civil professional competence has not been recognized.
