Achieving Strategic Change through Performance Management: The Role of Identity Threat
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Research in Organizational Change and Development. - : Emerald Publishing Limited. - 0897-3016. - 9781787144354 - 9781787144361 ; 25, s. 249-284

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Performance management can play an important role in the implementation of strategic change, by aligning employees’ mindsets and behavior with organizational goals. However, the ways in which employees react to change efforts aided by performance management practices are far from straight-forward. In this chapter, we develop a conceptual framework for understanding employees’ reactions to strategic change as a consequence of their occupational identities and their performance management outcome. We further apply the framework to an empirical study of a strategic change initiative in a school organization that was supported by a new performance management practice. We show how variations in perceived identity threat translate into four distinct patterns of emotional and behavioral reactions, where only one represents whole-hearted change acceptance. The study contributes to our understanding of individual- and group-level heterogeneity in reactions to strategic change, and also to a more nuanced conception of identity threat.

Styrningsinitiativ och professionell identitet: Om prestationsvärdering i skolan
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Detaljerade, ofta kvantitativa uppföljningssystem (performance management) har varit ett viktigt inslag i många offentliga organisationers strävan efter ökad effektivitet under senare år. Dessa har ofta införts utifrån en förhoppning om att tydliga prestationskriterier, som följs upp och ligger till grund för fördelningen av åtråvärda resurser (såsom lön och karriärmöjligheter) motiverar medarbetare till bättre prestationer. I denna skrift vill vi nyansera bilden att sådana system skapar en motivation till ökad prestation. Vi visar hur införandet av ett nytt prestationsbedömnings- och lönesättningssystem i grundskolan i en svensk kommun ledde till olika reaktioner beroende på lärarnas professionella identitet och hur de bedömdes. Härigenom vill vi bidra till en mer utvecklad förståelse för hur styrningsinitiativ baserade på performance management påverkar medarbetares prestation, speciellt i professionsbaserade miljöer, som är vanliga i den offentliga sektorn.

The practice of talent management: a framework and typology
- 2017

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the development of a deeper understanding of the conceptual and empirical boundaries of talent management (TM) so that scholars and practitioners may enhance their knowledge of what TM actually is and how it is carried out. Design/methodology/approach: A comparative study was conducted of the TM practices of 30 organizations based in Sweden. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 56 organizational representatives. The transcribed interviews were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Findings: The findings comprise a typology consisting of four distinct TM types that exist in practice: a humanistic type, a competitive type, an elitist type and an entrepreneurial type. Descriptions are provided that probe into how specific practices are differently shaped in the different types. Research limitations/implications: The study design enabled the generation of an empirically rich understanding of different TM types; however, it limited the authors’ ability to draw systematic conclusions on the realized outcomes of different types of TM. Practical implications: The descriptions of different TM types give practitioners insight into how TM may be practiced in different ways and point to important decisions to be made when designing TM. Originality/value: The paper addresses two main shortcomings identified in the academic literature on TM: conceptual ambiguity and the paucity of in-depth empirical research on how TM is carried out in actual organizational settings. The empirically derived typology constitutes an important step for further theory development in TM.

Rethinking professionalization : A generative dialogue on CSR practitioners
- 2019

Ingår i: Journal of Professions and Organization. - : Oxford University Press (OUP): Policy F - Oxford Open Option D. - 2051-8811 .- 2051-8803. ; 6:2, s. 246-264

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Studies of emerging professions are more and more at the crossroad of different fields of research, and field boundaries thus hamper the development of a full-fledged conversation. In an attempt to bridge these boundaries, this article offers a 'generative dialogue' about the redefinition of the professionalization project through the case of corporate social responsibility (CSR) practitioners. We bring together prominent scholars from two distinct academic communities-CSR and the professions-to shed light on some of the unsolved questions and dilemmas around contemporary professionalization through an example of an emerging profession. Key learnings from this dialogue point us toward the rethinking of processes of professionalization, in particular the role of expertise, the unifying force of common normative goals, and collaborative practises between networks of stakeholders. As such, we expand the research agenda for scholars of the professions and of CSR.

Att dela eller inte dela erfarenheter – det är frågan

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Vi har ställt oss frågan vad det är som får människor att dela sina framgångar och misslyckanden med kollegor – en viktig källa till lärande och social hållbarhet på arbetsplatser. Vi har särskilt undersökt vad som främjar respektive hindrar erfarenhetsdelning i sammanhang där mycket står på spel i termer av försörjning och karriärmöjligheter. För att få svar på frågan har vi undersökt två kunskapsintensiva konsultföretag och vilka överväganden konsulterna gör vid beslut att dela eller inte dela erfarenheter. Studien konstaterar att konsulternas huvudsakliga övervägande vid delningsbeslut är potentiell imagerisk snarare än potentiell nytta. Studien identifierar fem dimensioner som påverkar konsulternas bedömning av potentiell imagerisk: normkonformitet, möjligt kunskapsbidrag, relationskvalitet, samt status- och imageberoende.

Proceedings (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Although there is agreement on the role of the client in the innovation process inprofessional service firms (PSF), other actors have not been systematically integrated into theorybuilding on the professional service innovation. Drawing on the entrepreneurial ecosystemliterature, we develop an entrepreneurial ecosystem framework for the PSF field. The conceptualframework describes and explains the key aspects of the PSF entrepreneurial ecosystem, as wellas its dynamics. This article contributes by shifting the debate about professional serviceinnovation with a focus on the professional service firm and its clients to consider the broaderentrepreneurial ecosystem of PSFs. We conclude by discussing future research opportunities onentrepreneurial ecosystems in the PSF field.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We are currently living in an expert society where we are constantly confronted with experts for everything. As individuals, we meet them in media where they provide cocksure analyses of the condition of the world, the world economy, security risks, who to blame when a corporation is not as profitable as expected during the last quarter, hor to cook or how to lose weight.

Professions and (new) management occupations as a contested terrain : Redefining jurisdictional claims

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, we discuss how research on professions and organizations may benefit from a better understanding of the emergence and prevalence of 'new' management occupations or 'corporate professions' and their interactions with 'traditional' professions. To this end, we explore the theoretical and empirical implications of selected studies, analysing how professional and occupational jurisdictions, as well as inter-occupational relationships, are redefined. This occurs as new areas of management expertise emerge and gain influence in relation to broader organizational, technical and institutional developments.

Managing knowledge integration: Balancing professional and managerial logics in an engineering consulting firm

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Integrating professional expertise in professional service firms (PSFs) is a key strategic challenge in the contemporary economy and individual firms. Previous research has pointed out that the governance of key aspects of PSFs, including knowledge integration, is shifting from a professional to a managerial logic, a shift that is often pictured as conflict laden based on the incompatibility of the two logics. Based on a study of knowledge integration in an engineering consulting firm, the current paper shows how managerial and professional logics interplay in shaping knowledge integration practices. We identify both aspects in which the logics reinforce each other in enabling knowledge integration and tensions that threaten knowledge integration. We conclude that the professional logic is a key driver of knowledge integration, but that the managerial logic, including its formal HR practices, may support knowledge integration through secondary effects if applied in a thoughtful way.

The relationship between national culture and the use of professional services: Evidence from two cross-country studies
- 2018

Ingår i: Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management. - : Elsevier. - 1873-6505 .- 1478-4092. ; 24:4, s. 314-325

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Each year, clients spend large sums on professional services, such as accounting services, legal services and consulting services. While research has found significant cross-country differences in organizations’ spending on professional services, we do not know why they occur. Inspired by the organizational buying behavior literature, this paper investigates the influence of national culture on the use of professional services, particularly management consulting services. As the use of professional services involves considerable uncertainties—particularly for the buyer—it can be assumed to be influenced by cultural differences regarding the level of Uncertainty Avoidance, Individualism and Masculinity. By drawing on two independent cross-country studies, we show that organizations in high uncertainty avoidance and individualistic cultures use professional services less than organizations in low uncertainty avoidance and collectivist cultures. We found no relationship between Hofstede's dimension of Masculinity and the use of professional services. The findings contribute to the theorizing on how the cultural context influences organizational buying behavior and the purchasing of professional services.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Entrepreneurial processes couple the expanding business with new interactive socio-economic milieus as represented by new regional markets, new client industries or new segments of the talent market. Therefore, the necessary learning and innovation processes of an entrepreneurial professional service firm embrace not only the discovery of industry-specific facts and skills, but also the firm’s ‘embedding’ itself into and ‘shaping’ the ‘new’ social context with its own local regulations and institutional practices. Entrepreneurship as an institution is founded on ideals such as cultural individualism and change. Three main approaches to investigating the entrepreneurial professional service firm may be identified: new venture management processes, the development and embedding of new practices in professional service firms, and the governance of entrepreneurial firms. The chapter suggests that the broadening perspective on entrepreneurship and professional service firms by taking an entrepreneurial ecosystems perspective. The entrepreneurial ecosystem perspective puts an emphasis on the network relationships between the various actors.

Human resource management in professional service firms: Learning from a framework for research and practice

-
Ingår i: Zeitschrift für Personalforschung. - : Rainer Hampp Verlag. - 0179-6437. ; 29:2, s. 77-101
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Success in human resource management (HRM) depends on the question of whether applied practices of HRM meet specific contingency factors and are appropriately configured. Using this argument, the present article examines HRM in professional service firms (PSFs) in pursuit of three objectives. First, we introduce a conceptual framework that illustrates how the constitutive characteristics of PSFs, as contingency factors, influence HRM practices and research. Second, based on this framework, we summarize key findings of research on HRM in PSFs and open up potential avenues for further research. Third, we reflect on the argument that HRM in PSFs can contribute to an understanding of HRM practices in other organizational settings, leading to the question of the mutual transferability of HRM practices. Aside from these three primary objectives, we also introduce the contents of the special issue.

The organization of the expert society
- 2017
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- It is often claimed that we live in an expert society, a society where more and more individuals take expert roles in increasingly narrow fields. In contrast to more traditional experts most of these new experts lack generally accepted mechanisms for the certification and legitimation of their expertise. This book focuses on these new as well as established experts and the efforts undertaken to secure and legitimate their expertise. We view these efforts as organizing attempts and study them on four different levels - the society, the market, the organization and the individual. Based on empirical studies on these four levels of analysis, The Organization of the Expert Society makes the argument that current organizing initiatives in the expert society are based in an objectifying view of expertise that risks concealing and downplaying key aspects of expertise. Well-intended organizing initiatives in the expert society thus run the risk of promoting ignorance rather than securing expertise. Focusing on a current, general and global phenomenon, the rise and organization of an expert society.The Organization of the Expert Society will be key reading for scholars, academics and policy makers in the management fields of Organizational Theory, Management Consulting, OrganizationsXX1Society, Critical Management Studies as well as the disciplines of Sociology, Political Science and Social Anthropology.

Purchasing pension advisory services in Sweden - An interpretive investigation into service conceptions and supplier selection
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Industrial Marketing Management. - : Elsevier. - 0019-8501. ; 71, s. 108-122
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Research on service purchasing commonly acknowledges that different types of services require different purchasing approaches. This has generated a plethora of service classifications that focus on different characteristics inherent to the service. Recently, the use to which a service is put in an organization and the organizational context have been argued to influence the way in which the service is purchased, thereby shifting attention away from inherent service characteristics. The current paper extends this line of research by focusing on the buyer's understanding of the service and its impact on the supplier selection process. Based on an interpretive, phenomenographic analysis of 32 interviews with buyers of pension and insurance advice services (PIAS) in Sweden, the current study identifies four fundamentally different ways of understanding these services and shows how different conceptions of a service give rise to different approaches to selecting suppliers and different criteria for evaluating them.

- The expert organization is built and developed in a fi eld of tension between two distinct markets-the client market and the labor market. On the client market the organization offers the expertise of its employees in competition with other expert organizations, and often also in competition with experts within the client organization. On the labor market, the expert organization competes with other expert organizations and with client organizations for the most attractive experts. They also compete with the experts’ ability and often desire to start their own business.

Kunskapsintegration : om kollektiv intelligens i organisationer
- 2016
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Vi har alla varit med om det – gruppen där samarbetet bara fungerar. Som åstadkommer fantastiska resultat. Där det skapas energi och där deltagare blommar ut. Möten som tar till vara deltagarnas kunskaper. Men det finns också andra grupper, som inte fokuserar på kunskapsutbytet och som bara skapar frustration. I den här boken argumenterar vi för begreppet kollektiv intelligens som ett sätt att förstå denna skillnad mellan olika gruppers dynamik och framgång; en skillnad som påverkar kunskapsintegrationen i hela företaget.
Allt färre arbetsuppgifter i dag kan lösas utan samarbete. Den moderna organisationens framgång beror alltså i stor utsträckning på medarbetares samarbetsskicklighet – deras förmåga att integrera olika kunskaper. Märkligt nog har få organisationer strategier för att utveckla denna kritiska förmåga. Här finns en stor outnyttjad källa till både kreativitet och effektivitet. Kollektivt intelligenta organisationer använder medarbetarnas hela kunskapspotential i alla de otal möten som utgör en arbetsdag.
Boken riktar sig till både ledare och medarbetare i moderna organisationer, liksom till studenter på väg in i dessa organisationer. Den ger en grundläggande förståelse för fenomenet kollektiv intelligens och diskuterar vilka ledar- och HR-praktiker som stödjer denna förmåga till kunskapsintegration.
