Ledarskap för ett hållbart arbetsliv : Teknikstrategier och arbetslivets gränser
- 2023
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Användning av allt mindre mobiler och mer lättflyttade datorer gör att gränsen mellan vårt hem och vårt arbete gradvis suddas ut. Användandet av digital teknik möjliggör för skolor att finnas på flera platser, en utveckling som tydliggjorts under pandemin. Sociala medier har för många skolanställda blivit en naturlig del både i det pedagogiska arbetet och i den dagliga kontakten med varandra, elever och vårdnadshavare. Hur skolan formeras i en digital verklighet är därför en nyckelfråga för framtiden.För att bidra till en bättre förståelse för digitaliseringens påverkan på arbetslivet och arbetsmiljön har vi genomfört ett forskningsprojekt med titel ”Ledarskap för ett hållbart digitalt arbetsliv: Teknikstrategier och arbetslivets gränser”. Projektet har finansierats av AFA Försäkring inom deras FoU-program “Digitaliseringens effekter på arbetsmiljön”.Projektets syfte har varit att analysera hur styrning och ledarskap kan utformas i skolan för att tillvarata nyttan hos sociala medier och samtidigt skapa en hållbar digital arbetsmiljö för medarbetare och chefer.Våra resultat bygger på ett omfattande empiriskt intervjumaterial, och ett mindre antal enkäter. Vi kan i våra resultat se att samtliga aktörer som är engagerade i skolan behöver diskutera hur man vill och bör använda sociala medier. I vissa fall kan det behövas en tydligare styrning, i andra fall kan det vara tillräckligt med en mjukare styrning med tydligt uttryckta förväntningar och levande diskussioner om hur man som lärare och skolledare ska förhålla sig till sociala medier. Sammantaget tecknas en bild där användandet av sociala medier inte bara suddar ut gränslinjerna mellan det privata och det offentliga, utan också utvidgar gränserna för den egna yrkesrollen. Berättelserna vi har fångat från olika aktörer visar på komplexiteten och svårigheten att styra sociala medier som befinner sig mellan privatlivet och arbetslivet. Vi måste därför förändra hur vi förstår skolan och skolans roll i en digital verklighet. Resultaten har spridits genom vetenskapliga artiklar, populärvetenskapliga artiklar i media och tidskrifter, samt genom möten med intressenter.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In a digitalized society our work environment is highly integrated with our home environment making work boundless both in terms of time and space. The digital work environment risks increased stress. Based on a case study in Swedish schools we investigate how teachers experience the use of social media for work-related purposes. We do so by using the Technology Affordance and Constraints Theory to capture the affordances as well as constraints of this use. Findings show that affordances of social media in schools were increased opportunities for learning, transparency and community building. Constraints were distractions from learning, increased isolation, stress and, above all, lack of guidance in how and when to use social media. We end the paper arguing that lack of policies and guidelines governing the use of social media at work is risking an increase in boundary blurring and potentially more stress.

Is Female Entrepreneurship Only Empowering for Single Women? : Evidence from France and Germany

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Entrepreneurship has been suggested as an alternative career model for women to gain economic empowerment while maintaining caring obligations. In this study, we investigate how gender and living situation affect entrepreneurs' engagement in their business, home, well-being and business success in both France and Germany. Data from the European Social Survey were used, which included 470 French and 622 German self-employed people. For the French, women reported more working hours when living alone but there were no gender differences for the other living situations. For the Germans, there were no gender differences when the self-employed person lived alone; for the other living situations, men reported more working hours. Women reported working more household hours than men in both countries. There were no gender differences in life satisfaction for German self-employed people regardless of living situation; for the French, gender differences varied by living situation. Men reported more business success than women in both countries. Results suggest that self-employed people in Germany follow a traditional breadwinner model, whereas in France, self-employed women do more paid and unpaid work at the same time. In sum, entrepreneurship may only be empowering for self-employed women living alone.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- All kinds of new technologies have challenged people’s boundaries between work and private life throughout the last 35 years. Social media is no exception. Its ubiquitous nature is ratherexacerbating the struggle. Two factors contribute to a renegotiation of people’s boundaries in particular. Firstly, the boundaries between the organisation and the outside become increasingly more permeable. Changing economic circumstances have fundamentally altered how people are supposed to feel about their paid employment. Increasing economic pressure and the not so subtle expectations that one should be committed to and even love one’s work, encourages people to give more of themselves to their employer. The expectations placed on the individual are increasing which is partly expressed in demands for greater availability and more commitment. This includes and is partly expressed in bringing more of one’s identity to work, which helps to transcend the boundaries between the individual and the organisation. Secondly, social media is particularly conducive to renegotiation of boundaries because they are by nature a tool to create, shape, maintain and express one or multiple identities. With their specific affordances of visibility, persistence, association and editability, they do not just give room for a sophisticated expression of an individual’s identity(ies) but they also allow organisations to profit from that expression through association. This potential tight coupling between the individual and the organisation can of course backfire as the case of Justine Sacco’s Tweet gone wrong illustrates. In this particular example, Justine Sacco, former PR consultant, tweeted a racist Tweet (even though inadvertently) before getting on a plane to Africa and by the time she landed, she had lost her job over the Tweet. Overall though, organisations could gain significantly by encouraging/ letting their employees use their personal channels for different aspects of work. As with leaders that try to influence their employees in terms of healthy eating and exercise, a leader’s influence goes beyond the occasional pep talk and employee of the month medal. The practices of leaders can influence their followers’ behaviour and social media might just be another outlet for this influence. For the present study we followed the Twitter behaviour of a director general of a Swedish governmental agency for a period of 10 months (March 2016 to January 2017) and complemented our observation with multiple interviews as well as documents and guiding principles on social media presence for public sector employees. Studying a governmental agency is particularly interesting because the public sector is supposed to exhibit a certain set of values. Secondly, the public sector is guided in all matters pertaining to the digitalisation of services by the work of a state commission. In this work it is clearly outlined that public organisations have to be very careful in showing who is communicating – the organisation or the private person. In the present study, particular interest is paid to how a director general uses different identity facets to foster the agenda of the organisation and how far the affordances of social media enable or constrain such pursuits. The results show that the association between the director general’s tweets and the agency has multiple consequences. Firstly, the organisation gains a “personal side” through the director general’s sharing of personal aspects of life alongside promoting the organisation’s activities. Especially for organisations with image problems, a potential increase in trust and likability may be a beneficial side effect of the close association with their employees on social media. The organisation is no longer just associated with rules regarding its public function but also with a leader who e.g. watches popular programs on television. Watching and commenting on popular matters humanizes the organisation and thus enriches the public image of a bureaucratic institution with rules and regulations by associating humour, weaknesses and opinions about trivial interests among other things. Secondly, the general director sets a standard of what might be expected from other employees or other leaders. This moves us away from the idea of a good leader being someone who is good at their job to someone who gives everything for their job and their organisation. We can see parallels to passionate, healthy leaders trying to influence their employees in terms of eating and exercise. Finally, leaders as role models are not restricted to eating, exercising and exhibiting (im)moral behaviour anymore but also to people’s practices on social media. Social media has moreover the potential to increase the reach of the neo-liberal panopticon beyond the local to the global, insofar as it affords visibility, and in extension intensifies of control and scrutiny. It is not anymore executed just by one’s employer but now the whole world can judge and criticise. Through social media, the public eye becomes thus simultaneously a wider marketing target but also an intensified and controlling panopticon. In the case of governmental agencies this involves not only employees but also the media, citizens and corporations.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- What makes an academic? Is it their unyielding devotion to research and teaching, their tendency towards a hermitic existence? Or does it have more to do with their socioeconomic privilege and racial profile? Are academics today any different from what society has always known them to be? How homogenous is the group of academics? Historically, academia was populated by men from the upper classes, often somewhat similar to each other. Over time, structures and procedures were established to ensure both scientific quality and academic exclusion. This chapter deconstructs the myths surrounding academics and the lives they lead within academia. Through shards of broken mirrors is the reader encouraged to look at a group of misfits that are the odd one out in most academic contexts that defy common classifications. Misfits that would like to devote only 40 working hours to academia instead of their whole being. Misfits that use the “wrong” theoretical lenses, unpopular methods, or undesirable contexts. Misfits that don't fit in by matter of race, ethnicity, sex, or social economic class. Misfits that have found their misfitting family and hold on for dear life.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Business administration as a study choice has been explained via its practicality, high societal status and prestige, and as an opportunity for upwards mobility. Shahzad, Ahmed, and Ghaffar (2013) describe “the nature” of business as a study choice that matches extroversion and dominance. The stories of our participants’ reconstruct the businessperson, broadening it. For them business studies needs to contain the values of equality, work-family balance, permanent responsibility towards current and future generations, and skirts, sweatpants and ponytails as truthful pictures of the businessperson of the future.. The linguistic constructions that challenge business masculinity in these life stories hold the power to modify business education.
