Arbete: Passion och exploatering
- 2011
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Det har skett omfattande förändringar i samhället som påverkar både våra möjligheter på arbetsmarknaden och våra föreställningar om arbete. De självstyrande, kreativa och alltmer innovationsinritade delarna av arbetsmarkanden och de allt hårdare reglerade delarna av arbetsmarkanden kan beskrivas i termer av en ökad polarisering. Detta får också konsekvenser för hur förhållandet mellan exploatering, passion och arbete kan förstås. Föreliggande nummer av tidskriften Arbetsliv i omvandling försöker på olika sätt att belysa denna problematik. Inledningsvis diskuteras de två centrala begreppen, passion och exploatering, i syfte att visa hur dessa kan utgöra analytiska redskap när man närmar sig olika områden och problem knutna till arbete och arbetsliv. Med hjälp av ett antal exempel lyfts därefter olika aspekter fram som speglar de förändringar som präglar dagens arbetsmarknad. Bidragen försöker var och en på sitt att visa hur olika individer och yrkesgrupper hanterar sina liv i spänningsfältet mellan passion och exploatering

Dominanser : En utveckling av den realistiska livsformsteorin
- 2009
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The present dissertation develops a specific theory about everyday life called realist life mode theory. This theory is based on critical realism and consists of "work", "love" and "life mode" as central concepts. The background of the theory is the Danish life mode analysis developed by Thomas Højrup in the 1980:s. The aim of the study is to develop the central clusters of concepts in the realist life mode theory - i. e. "work", "love", "life mode" in a theoretical way. These concepts are seen as clusters since other related concepts are developed in connection to the concepts mentioned above. In connection to work I also discuss the concepts of "labour power", "labour receptor", and "work form"; in relation to love, "love power", "love receptor" and "love form" are discussed. And "life mode" is connected with the concept of "everyday life" in a more exact way than before. The argument of this study is that realist life mode theory is about two fundamental types of dominance - personal dominance and structural dominance. "Personal dominance" is used synonymously with "ownership". "Structural dominance" is dominance between non-personal, non-conscious entities. Life mode theory is a theory about ownership surrounded by structural dominances both beneath the owning person (sub-personally), and above (socially). Personal dominance - ownership - is produced via two human and societal processes - work and love. Work is defined as doing and occuring in the sphere of necessity. In work there especially are possibilities for ownership of the material surroundings. Love is defined as doing and occuring in the sphere of freedom. In love humans produce each other as self-owned persons through transaction of love power. Both work and love has great emancipatory potentials, and this theme is discussed in the present study. But, unfortunately, really existing work and love practices are to a great extent exploitative. Labour power is exploited in capitalism, and love power in patriarchy. When it comes to structural dominance, this study focuses on the following dominances: The dominance of labour receptor over labour power in men´s working life; the dominance of love power over love receptor in women´s love life. The dominance of work over love in men´s everyday life; the dominance of love over work in women´s everyday life. And on a more social level we find the following dominances: in the male life modes the work form dominates the love form. In female life modes the love form dominates the work form. And finally, in society as a whole male life modes have dominance over female life modes. When the dominance between social structures is analyzed, a distinction is made between "dominance form" and "the substance of dominance".

Passion and Exploitation Among Young Adults with Different Labor Market Status in Europe
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Nordic Journal of Working Life Studies. - 2245-0157. ; 5:2, s. 17-31
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this article is to describe and analyze the relationship between attitudes to work, wellbeing, and labor market status among young adults in Europe and to discuss the extent to which the relationship can be understood in terms of passion or exploitation. This aim is made concrete in the following research questions: To what extent do young adults in Europe have a passionate attitude to work? Are there differences between groups with various labor market status and nationalities? Are there differences in levels of well-being between the groups of young adults with different labor market status, and differences between the countries? The results are based on an individual survey conducted with three categories of young people (18–34 years old): long-term unemployed, those in precarious employments, and those regularly employed. The study had a cross-national comparative design and the countries included were France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Sweden, and Switzerland.

Självständighetens livsform(er) och småföretagande : tillämpning och utveckling av realistisk livsformsanalys
- 2004
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis focuses on the realist life mode analysis, especially the independent life mode, and the empirical field of entrepreneurship – running a small firm. The aim is to broaden the general understanding for entrepreneurship to include non-capitalistic rationality through application and development of realist life mode analysis. The application of the analysis is done by studying different social phenomena within the field of entrepreneurship. The two phenomena in question are expansion of small firms and trust between an entrepreneur and an employee, and flexibility in small firms. The problem concerning this theoretical application has to do with showing how life mode analysis can be used to explain that entrepreneurship does not have to be about capitalism. The problem concerning theoretical development has to do with identifying social relations and mechanisms that constitute the everyday life of entrepreneurs. The study has been carried out as a qualitative interview study and it is based on the methodology of critical realism. Concerning expansion and trust between an entrepreneur and an employee, my study shows that as an expression of an entrepreneur’s socio centric life mode specific way to interpret reality trust can be an obstacle for employing extra labour-force outside the own firm. Trust can also be an obstacle for an existing relationship to function smoothly if the entrepreneur and the employee live different life modes. However, my study shows that trust can also function as a possible incitement for employment. My conclusion concerning flexibility is that the concept of flexibility, defined with a starting point in the capitalist principles of the economic market, is occasionally misused in literature. My structural perspective shows that not all small firms are driven by these motives powers. Capitalistic small firms do exist and are to be described as flexible, but not all small firms. The size of the firm conditions entrepreneurship in many ways but it does not condition the rationality. My study also shows that the independent life mode as described in the theory so far characterizes simple commodity production and not production of services. Structural changes seem to have resulted in two different life modes for independent entrepreneurs; a commodity specific independent life mode and a service specific independent life mode.

The concept of flexibility and its occasional misuse
- 2002
-
Konferensbidrag (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- The focus of this paper is to raise awareness of the complexity of the concept of flexibility and its occasional misuse. Flexibility as it most often is studied, is defined as the point of departure in capitalism. Even the smallest firms are measured by these criterions. By using the methodological standpoint of critical realism and the structural life mode analysis I have studied the rationality behind adjusting to changes in small firms with focus on adjusting employment levels to variation in workload. By doing this I have answered the question of a possible misuse of the concept of flexibility. My conclusion is that the concept of flexibility, defined with a starting point in the capitalist principles of the economic market, is occasionally misused in literature. Taking the point of departure in capitalism it is assumed that all firms strive to live by the rules of a capitalist market and to adjust to its principles. My structural perspective shows that not all small firms are driven by these motives powers. The rationality to run a firm when the owner lives the so-called independent life mode, derive first of all from independency. This rationality influences adjusting to changes in these firms and it also influences relations between an entrepreneur and an employee. An entrepreneurs trust expressing the independent life mode-specific work values and ethics, is fundamentally different from an employees trust if the employee is living the worker life mode. Thus trust can be a hindrance for adjusting the employment levels to variation in workload

Genusarbetsdelning - exploatering av kvinnors arbetskraft
- 2011
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Artikeln diskuterar genusarbetsdelning som särskiljande då det gäller synen på kvinnors och mäns arbete och arbetsvillkor i Sverige i ett historiskt perspektiv och med en startpunkt i industrialiseringsprocessen. Fokus ligger på villkoren idag och på hur det moderna arbetslivet formats utifrån föreställningar kopplade till denna process. Artikeln diskuterar vad detta betyder då vi idag talar om work life balance och jämställdhet. Artikeln går bortom arbetsbegreppets könsneutrala förståelse och "fyller" det med kvinnor och män.

Exploatering eller passion - sjuksköterskor i forskarutbildning
- 2011
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Artikeln handlar om sjuksköterskor som efter många år i yrkesverksamhet väljer att påbörja forskarutbildning. Valet studeras i ljuset av en professionaliseringsprocess på sjuksköterskans egna villkor, dvs utifrån omvårdnadsfältets förutsättningar och ses som en möjlighet att bryta en strukturell maktordning mellan kategorierna läkare och sjuksköterska. Fokus i artikeln ligger på de villkor enskilda sjuksköterskor möter och dessa kan diskuteras utifrån begreppen passion respektive exploatering.
