Dialog som styrning i samhällsutvecklarrollen : en förstudie hos Trafikverket
- 2020
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Att använda dialoger har visat sig vara ett viktigt inslag i verksamhetsstyrning då de kan överbrygga komplexitet och brister i formella styrsystem. Denna rapport handlar om Trafikverket, en av Sveriges myndigheter som tillsammans med andra aktörer styr med samhällsvärde i fokus. Trafikverket har formulerat en verksamhetslogik som bygger på ett värdeskapande utifrån-och-in-perspektiv vilket ska fånga många olika samhällsrelevanta behov, samtidigt som alla tillgängliga resurser ska användas på ett så kostnadseffektivt sätt som möjligt, inifrån-och-ut. Den övergripande styrningen i offentlig sektor är vertikal, uppifrån-och-ner, samtidigt som kraven ofta är horisontella. Detta är exempel på några perspektiv i verksamhetsstyrningen som behöver samordnas på ett öppet och tydligt sätt med trovärdighet, legitimitet och engagemang. Detta forskningsprojekt utgör en förstudie om dialogens roll i myndigheters styrning. Resultaten pekar på dialogens betydelse och vikten av att förstå och arbeta med dialogens villkor såväl i intern som i extern samverkan.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The long-term outcomes of reform processes in the public sector remain understudied inthe literature. This study investigates the Swedish Transport Administration (STA)employees’ and managers’ translation and internalization of their new role as societaldevelopers. Since the STA’s founding in 2010 and until 2018, the STA head officeneither guided nor centrally determined how to define and understand the STA’s role as asocietal developer. We examine this internalization process through the lens ofCzarniawska’s translation model of the distribution of ideas as a collective creationthrough local translation and adaptation. The study shows that the ongoing friction thatoccurs when the concept and role of a societal developer are discussed and disseminatedwithin an organization is influenced by prevailing identities and local action nets. It alsoshows that the translation of this new role eventually failed, due to either it beingsubmerged within already-existing concepts or it having a perceived lack of relevance.We conducted this mixed-method study over six years (2016–2021) using documentaryanalysis, workshop participation, interviews and a survey.

Post-NPM gender accounting - can public value management enhance gender mainstreaming?
- 2021

In: Public Money & Management. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0954-0962 .- 1467-9302. ; 41:7, s. 507-515

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Gender mainstreaming has been hampered by the governance guides of New Public Management (NPM). Public Value Management is an alternative approach that can be interpreted as a concept for management accounting that meets the challenges that NPM was never able to handle. This paper discusses the case of gender mainstreaming in the Swedish transport sector.The authors suggest that the governance of public value will contribute to highlighting important qualitative aspects necessary for the successful implementation of gender mainstreaming. The success of work with the strategy of gender equality is dependent on which management accounting system that is in use. A good example is to use gender-awareness as an input and to go beyond short-term assessment of output into long-term valuation of outcomes. To avoid ending up with irrelevant output measures, gender-aware planning and assessment of qualitative processes and outcomes is required.
