Training measures and technologies for air contaminant risks
- 2017
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- AbstractAs air contaminants continue to pose a problem in organizations, more studies are needed to identify and reduce employees’ exposure to air contaminants. Limited research proposes methods for managing air contaminants, especially with focus on reducing exposure by improving safety behavior, safety knowledge, safety attitudes and safety motivation among employees in the workplace, by, for instance, using safety training.The aim of this thesis is to develop existing safety measures and analyze new measures for reducing air contaminants in typical industrial work situations by focusing on human aspects, such as safety attitudes and safety motivation. This is carried out by studying safety attitudes, safety motivation, and safety training in relation to air contaminant safety in current Swedish organizations by means of questionnaires, interviews, reviews of research, as well as the exposure monitoring method, PIMEX. This thesis comprises four papers.

Men in focus : Exploring homosocial cultures in organizations and developing methods to prevent sexual harassment
- 2021
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The program explores homosocial cultures in male-dominated organizations in order to contribute to our understanding of the dynamics of sexual harrassment and to develop measures and methods for transforming homosocial cultures into spaces where men in different positions can act as change agents in order to promote gender equality and workplaces free from violence and discrimination. This answers to recent calls for deepened understanding of processes by which sexual harassment is normalized and tolerated in organizational contexts and for improved prevention measures and methods (e.g. Chawla et al. 2021). By focusing on men and masculinities in relation to aspects of organizational cultures that enable men to exercise violence in order to maintain control in organizations, and by developing measures and methods for counteracting SH through organizational development, the program contributes to current research frontiers as well as to the development of new practices in organizational change management.

Assessment and design of industrial manual handling to reduce physical ergonomics hazards : – use and development of assessment tools
- 2017
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Despite efforts of reducing harmful physical ergonomics exposures related to manual handling, the occurrence of heavy or repetitive manual handling, and non-neutral postures is high in many occupational sectors. To reduce these exposures, interventions and job design strategies can utilize risk assessment. A need was identified of an observation-based tool which supported occupational health and safety practitioners for assessments of risk factors related to manual handling.The aim of this thesis was to explore the use and important usability-related aspects of observation-based assessment tools among professional ergonomists, and to develop new research based assessment and screening tools, to present their scientific basis and to evaluate their reliability and usability. A web-based questionnaire was employed to gain knowledge on the use and usability aspects of risk assessment tools among ergonomists in Sweden. The assessment tools RAMP I and RAMP II were developed in an iterative process, including literature searches, expert group judgments, and with input from more than 80 practitioners. The reliability and usability evaluations included assessments and ratings by practitioners.The thesis points to a low use of several internationally spread assessment tools among Swedish ergonomists, and a relatively higher use of tools promoted by the Swedish Work Environment Authority. Several usability-related aspects were identified as important, such as being easy and quick to use, its ability to communicate and visualize the results, and its ability to facilitate improvement measures. The developed tools support assessment of a broad range of risk factors related to manual handling. The thesis supports that assessments with acceptable reliability can be achieved for the majority of items of the two developed tools. The thesis supports that the tools are usable in supporting risk assessments targeting risk factors related to industrial manual handling.

Kan lean bli hållbart i svensk sjukvård? : Om betydelsen av delaktighet och tydlighet
- 2014
-
Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Something is happening within healthcare. An increased pressure for change towards increased efficiency and effectiveness has made Swedish healthcare organizations focusing on organizational change strategies – where expressions such as continuous improvements and to do more with less are frequently used. Lean production (lean) is a commonly used organizational development strategy within Swedish healthcare. However, many organizations today fail when trying to implement lean as a means to change the organization.The purpose of this thesis is to increase the knowledge level about sustainable development work and working conditions within Swedish healthcare. Another purpose is to make this knowledge applicable to on-going development work of today.In this thesis, the approach has been interactive research, where a method triangulation has been used including a literature study, a qualitative study, and a quantitative study. The empirical data are from two Swedish hospitals.By using an interactive research approach, joint learning among the researcher and first-line management within Swedish psychiatric care has been reached. This joint learning concerns how to strengthen the sustainability of organizational development work within Swedish healthcare. Specifically, the findings show that participation, as a democratic principle and an important organizational development factor, needs to be promoted among first-line management in the development work. For the development work to be sustainable, all parties within the organization need to participate in the work.Finally, the findings show that clear organizational structures, i.e. objectives and responsibilities, correlate to participation in the organization. The prerequisites for sustainable development work within Swedish healthcare are believed to be strengthened due to the Scandinavian organizational tradition of participation.
