NPM (2.0) - A BLAST FROM THE PAST
- 2019
-
Ingår i: New Public Sector (NPS) seminar.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper concerns (re)emerging discourses concerning political and administrative organization in pre- and post-NPM contexts. The policy analysis presented in this paper draws on a framework understood through dimension of reorganization in terms of market and management, positing the questions of (i) which problems are being identified and (ii) how solutions are being addressed during two different time periods. It is demonstrated how discourses concerning “slow government” and “excessive regulation” (re)emerges as problems, and that the addressed solutions are similar over time. Following this, it is argued that an era of NPM 2.0 emerges, where in political and administrative organization will react to similar problems and cope through similar solutions as has been done before.

När blir det plagiat? – En tvärsnittsstudie av studenters färdigheter och förmågor gällande fusk i form av plagiat

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Den här artikeln berör situationer då plagiat kan uppstå. Mer specifikt handlar artikeln om studenters färdigheter och förmågor när det kommer till plagiering eller situationer som skulle kunna förstås som plagiering. En enkät med nio olika situationer skapades i syfte att kartlägga studenters förmåga att identifiera när det kan handla om plagiat. 634 studenter på två olika institutioner vid Göteborgs universitet svarade på enkäten. Resultat och analys visar att studenter generellt hade god förmåga att identifiera enklare fall av plagiat, men klarade sig sämre i mer komplexa fall. Resultaten pekar vidare på att det framförallt är yngre studenter (födda på 90-talet) och akademiskt oerfarna som har lägre träffsäkerhet i sin identifikation. Artikeln avslutas med en reflektion kring undervisning och examination och lyfter särskilt fram tre delar: (i) vikten av att prata om plagiat, (ii) vikten av att arbeta med akademisk integritet och (iii) vikten av att arbeta med akademiskt oerfarna.

Public Administration in transition: Studying understandings and legitimations amongst middle managers within a government agency
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Journal of Language and Politics. - : John Benjamins Publishing Company. - 1569-2159 .- 1569-9862. ; 18:1, s. 107-130
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article focuses on how common-sense knowledge is enacted by middle managers in order to make sense of contemporary public administration. Specifically, the article demonstrates how managerialization and market logics is embedded in actors’ perceptions of public administration and becomes manifested through understandings and legitimations. The article presents an analysis of conversational data from middle management positions within a Swedish government agency. The analysis demonstrates how actors categorize a traditional hierarchy together with contemporary ideas of consumerism. It is also demonstrated how actors draw on legitimations of authority and mythopoesis in order to make sense of and to understand their managerial role within the agency. As such, the article contributes to contemporary public administration literature and its discussion regarding the effects of embedding marketization logics on actor and organizational levels as well as to ethnomethodologically informed literature within the social science and humanities.

Searching for managerial discretion: How public managers engage managerialism as a rationalization for increased latitude of action
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Public Management Review. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1471-9037 .- 1471-9045. ; 21:3, s. 315-333
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article focuses on the managerial discretion that public managers experience. More specifically, it discusses how managerialism is an embedded ideological stance that influences understandings of public sector governance. I argue that managers’ perceptions of discretion are affected by these understandings. The analysis draws on empirical data from a longitudinal study, demonstrating how public managers engage discourses emanating from managerialism in order to rationalize increased discretion. The findings suggest that customer perspectives functions as a rationalizing factor for engaging public managers’ transition towards increased discretion. As such, this article contributes to knowledge about managerial discretion as well as managerialism.

- I efterdyningarna av New Public Management finns ett behov av att förändra synen på organisering och styrning av den offentliga sektorn. Ett samlingsbegrepp för de nya teorierna kring styrning och organisering av offentlig sektor är post-NPM. I en nyligen publicerad rapport diskuterar Elin K. Funck och Tom S. Karlsson fyra starka trender inom ramen för området.

Calculation, justification, and medical profession: Introduction of performance appraisals and pecuniary incentives within an emergency unit
- 2019
-
Ingår i: The Centre for Global Human Resource Management, International Interdisciplinary Conference on HRM, 03-05 April 2019, Gothenburg.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this article, we address the issues of calculation and economization within contemporary public organizations. We address issues of how choices of organizing emergency health care have been affected by a production of calculation. More specifically, we pay specific attention to how the use of performance appraisals, in terms of calculations and valuations, has become important components in the construction of pecuniary incentives for individual professionals within healthcare organizations. Drawing on empirical data from 12 in-depth interviews at three different emergency health care sites, the analysis reveals how calculation and accounting as a performative act shapes professional work. This article contributes to the growing literature focusing on accountingization by showing how the calculations enable the meet between accounting and medical profession and demonstrating the performative consequences of accounting on the medical work.

Background and history of sustainability
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Environment and Sustainability in a Globalizing World. Andrea J. Nightingale (red.). - New York : Routledge. - 9781317501831 ; , s. 13-34, s. 13-34

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter explores how the idea of sustainability has changed over time and within different regions. The expansion of the Industrial Revolution brought environmental concerns firmly onto the political agenda and established many of the environmental—social—economic relations that continue to shape sustainability challenges. The Industrial Revolution along with colonialism brought about widespread changes in economies and environments upon which the emerging global economy depended. Steady state is used in the environmental field to indicate an ecosystem, organism, or place that is in balance. While Thomas R. Malthus maintained that population growth would eventually lead to a crisis of resources, he simultaneously believed that technological progress could postpone the inevitable need to reduce demands on resource. Neo-Malthusianism refers to a line of thought advocating population control to ensure resource availability for current and future populations. Ideas of limits to economic growth, the need for moderating human exploitation of resources, and the desirability of steady states thus have a long history. © 2019 Taylor & Francis.
