Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I svensk liksom i internationell arbetslivsforskning finns en stark tradition av att undersöka och förbättra arbetsmiljön för medarbetare i allmänhet, men mindre fokus på att studera chefers förutsättningar att bedriva sitt arbete. Detta trots att ledarskapet och chefens roll påverkar de anställdas hälsa, motivation och prestationer. I detta kapitel beskrivs resultat från det så kallade CHEFiOS-projektet om offentliga chefers arbetsmiljö, samband med hälsa och viljan att vara kvar som chef.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Managers in many public domains have to meet major challenges today, why it is essential to focus on their working conditions in order to develop a sustainable situation. In the present study, the aim was to explore different types of managerial situations and how they discriminate in health, motivation and performance outcomes. Using the job demands-resources model as a framework, four demands and three resources were included in a cluster analysis in order to answer the research question. In total, 548 managers in Sweden participated, including heads of department, middle managers, firstline managers, team leaders and expert managers. The most important finding was that the eight clusters of managerial situations, that were found, discriminated in a distinct way against each other regarding health, motivation and performance. The results can be used as guidance for organizational intervention as both very satisfactory and very unsatisfactory situations are identified.

Span of control and the significance for public sector managers' job demands: A multilevel study.
- 2014
-
In: Economic and Industrial Democracy. - 0143-831X .- 1461-7099. ; 35:3, s. 455-481
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of this article is to investigate how span of control influences seven job demands common amongst operational public sector managers. Self-administrated surveys were collected from 434 managers organized in 37 municipal operations, i.e. management teams in a set of public organizations in Sweden, and complemented with register data. Multilevel analyses were performed and it was shown unfavorable to have a large number of subordinates for the majority of job demands investigated. Furthermore, managers who were members of management teams with a higher average span of control experience some job demands to an even higher extent. Thus, the results of this study demonstrate that span of control is a key upstream component of managers’ job demands and emphasize the value of a reasonable number of subordinates.
