Folkbildning - samtidig eller tidlös? : Om innebörder över tid
- 2005
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- När författarna till denna antologi inbjöds att medverka formulerades temat Folkbildning – samtidig eller tidlös? Någon ytterligare vägledning eller styrning gavs inte. Artiklarna är således författarnas fria tolkning av temat. Detta resulterade i en rikhaltig blandning av perspektiv och empirisk förankring i olika folkbildningssammanhang i skilda tider. Som redaktörer har vi sökt en röd tråd som löper genom artiklarna. Vi har funnit att de sammantaget handlar om folkbildningens innebörder insatta i olika tidsmässiga sammanhang. Antologins undertitel blev därför Om innebörder över tid. Ett par författare har tagit utgångspunkt i historien, andra i samtida folkbildning och ett par författare tar utgångspunkt i framtiden. Flera författare analyserar folkbildningens relevans under en längre tidsperiod. Olika begrepp eller talet om folkbildning står i centrum i flera artiklar.Det är således spännande att konstatera att antologin som helhet ger en aspektrik bild av folkbildning som ett barn av sin samtid. Parallellt ges olika tolkningar av tidlösa kännetecken som författarna spårar trots genomgripande förändringar både inom och utanför folkbildningen. En övergripande slutsats är således att temats ”eller” får formuleras om till ett ”och” – folkbildning kan förstås både som ett samtida och som ett tidlöst fenomen. Men sambanden mellan det tidsbundna och det tidlösa är både komplexa och varierande beroende på sammanhang och valet av utsiktspunkt.Vi har valt att i huvudsak följa tidsaxeln i antologins disposition och har därför delat in de sexton artiklarna under följande fem avdelningar:Folkbildningens innebörder i backspegelnPerspektiv på folkbildning i samtidenFramtiden som utmaningFolkbildningens relevans över tidFolkbildning som idé och begreppDet betyder inte att varje artikel entydigt kan placeras i en viss avdelning. Vår ambition är dock att strukturen ska hjälpa läsaren att fåöverblick över antologins mångfacetterade innehåll. Varje författare ansvarar själv för innehållet i sin artikel. Vår förhoppning är att antologin skall inspirera till fortsatt forskning, finna vägen in i undervisning och olika lärtillfällen inom universitet och folkbildning och sist men inte minst stimulera debatten om folkbildningens innebörder.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Workplace inspections are undertaken because they are believed to lead to better conditions In the workplace. It is therefore essential to know if inspections have the desired effects on working conditions. We introduce a theoretical framework for the evaluation of workplace inspections with respect to their effects on working conditions. Criteria of efficiency and priority-setting are discussed. Some empirical results concerning priority-setting in Swedish inspection agencies are presented. Further, we argue that in order to obtain reliable information about the effects of different inspection methods, it is necessary to perform controlled comparative studies in which different methods are used in different workplaces. Given the facility with which such studies can be performed, it is surprising how few such studies have been made. We conclude by surveying some empirical studies that concern the issue of efficient inspections.

Familjer i växande städer : Strukturer och strategier vid familjebildning i Sverige 1840-1940
- 2005
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This book originates from a research program on the urban family in Sweden 1840-1940. It examines the family at the centre of life during Sweden’s transition to a modern industrialized and urbanized country. The proportion of singles and married people as well as ages at marriage are analysed against the background of economic development, social structure, the housing situation and “male breadwinner-ideology”. Generational relations and the different family and household forms in urban areas are discussed.By using the potential of the Demographic Data Base, Umeå University in combination with population registers from the 20th century, eight marriage cohorts from the 1840’s to the 1930’s are created for two middle-sized Swedish cities, Linköping and Sundsvall. The authors explore in detail the new fertility regimes that emerged rather rapidly in urban Sweden during the first decades of the last century. The concept “family strategies” is used to understand the behaviour of individuals and families within all social classes during the fertility transition. Smaller families were achieved through increased use of spacing and stopping and mainly by pre-industrial forms of fertility control. However, the authors also stress the importance of bourgeois debaters and early feminists as well as left wing women’s associations for bringing down the birth rate.Finally, the book raises central issues concerning the economic, social and psychological forces that shaped the modern family and the interrelationship between history, demography and other related sciences.

Ledarutveckling i arbetslivet : Kontexter, aktörer samt (o)likheter mellan utbildningskulturer
- 2005

Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This dissertation is about leader development. It focuses on similarities and differences between contents in different in-house leader development programs, and on how these programs are organized. The purpose is to contribute knowledge about leader development in Swedish working life, by describing and analyzing different organizations’ ways of doing leader development from a context-actor perspective. Very little research has been undertaken about leader development from a comparative perspective, although leader development is a question of current interest, and can be viewed as a fashion now in the beginning of the 21st century. The context-actor perspective that I use as theoretical point of departure is influenced partly by Bhaskar’s transformational model of social activity, partly by institutional theory and the notion of isomorphic processes, containing powers in the context of the organization in combination with local actors. An educational culture is seen as a single organization’s specific way to manage leader development. The dissertation is chiefly based on a case study of six organizations’ leader development. I have interviewed 13 persons that had the responsibility for creating, carrying out and developing leader development efforts in these organizations. I also studied different documents from these organizations, and observed when actors from one of the organizations met their colleagues from similar organizations for discussions concerning leader development. The analysis of the data has had a distinct feature of abduction, and I used eight constructed aspects and 131 variables when comparing the organizations. My results suggest that the organizations’ educational cultures had both overarching similarities and considerable differences. The deeper I probed into the ways in which the organizations did leader development, the more specific details I found. Most of the dissimilarities that appeared in the comparison turned out to be exclusive to specific organizations rather then to groups of organizations. The organizational level appeared as the most important context for shaping the specific characteristic of the different leader development programs. Likewise, the branch level and national level seem to play a central role, but the sector level turned out to be the context with the least importance for the organizations’ ways of doing leader development. For the national level it is possible to argue that the similarities the organizations showed may constitute an example of the spirit of the times and everyday talk about leader development that can be found in Swedishworking life. The actors turned out to be part of the organizations’ human resources, and they were not seldom human resource managers and women. It was above all these actors that had the responsibility for and organized the leader development. The interplay between the actors and the context can be described in terms of the actors as creators of culture and bearers of culture respectively. There is consequently a potential for both transformation and reproduction as a result of the interplay between the powers that contexts and actors constitute. From the actors’ statements it is obvious that they saw themselves as active actors. Overall, the research indicates that it is reasonable to describe an organization’s educational culture as a result of how the actors have interacted with different contexts. The existence of certain leader development ideals in Swedish working life is not necessarily a determining factor for how a single actor chooses to work with the leader development in a certain organization, though it depends on the latter.
