Attityder till och upplevelser av arbetspendling : En kvalitativ undersökning för att nå fördjupad kunskap kring attityder till och upplevelser av arbetspendling. / Attitudes to and Experiences of work Commuting : A qualitative investigation to reach in-depth knowledge regarding attitudes towards and experiences of work commuting.

Karsberg, Henrik January 2024 (has links)
Syftet med denna studie är att nå fördjupad kunskap kring attityder till och upplevelser av arbetspendling. Uppsatsens frågeställningar är vilka direkta och indirekta svårigheter och utmaningar den enskilde upplever under sin arbetspendling.  Kvalitativ metod har använts och tre personer ur skolans personal har intervjuats. Dessa primärdata har sedan analyserats med hjälp av Hägerstrands (1970) tidsgeografiska modell och Legrain et al. (2015) teori om objektiv och subjektiv stress. Tidigare forskning visar att arbetspendling har betydelse för människors vardag, matchning på arbetsmarknad och ekonomisk tillväxt. Arbetspendling kan genom ökad rörlighet skapa möjligheter för individer att hitta ett bättre boende och eller arbete. Arbetspendling kan ha negativa konsekvenser för individens välbefinnande och bidra till stress, trötthet och minskad livskvalité.  Undersökningens resultatet visar att intervjuperson 1, som åker kollektivt har högre kapacitetsrestriktioner än vad intervjuperson 2 och 3 har som åker bil. Intervjuperson 1 har barn i både förskole- och skolåldern och är beroende av dessa verksamheters tider dvs. styrningsrestriktioner. Av intervjusvaren framgår att han är den mest stressade och missnöjda av de intervjuade.  Analysen är att denna stress och missnöje grundar sig i att han inte har kontroll över rummet och över sin tidsanvändning. Av intervjusvar framgår att intervjuperson 1, som åker kollektivt behöver 2x70 minuter till sin överföring per dag. Intervjuperson 2 och 3 behöver 2x20 minuter. Intervjuperson 1 har lämnat över ansvaret för hämtning och lämning till och från dagis, skola och aktiviteter till annan familjemedlem. Både denna studie och tidigare forskning visar att tidtabellbelagda kollektiva transportmedel begränsar möjligheten att ta del av omgivningens utbud.  Uppsatsens slutsatser är: att Intervjuperson 2 och 3 är beredda att ta den ökade kostnaden för att åka bil, då komforten är bättre och livskvalitén högre. Att den lägre nöjdheten hos intervjuperson 1 som åker kollektivt beror på att han har för avsikt att jobba under pendlingstiden. Detta medan de som pendlar med bil inte ställer detta krav på sig själva. Interferensen och inställningen till pendling som arbetstid, samtidigt som förutsättningarna inte riktigt finns där är en källa till stress.  Undersökningens resultat är viktiga för att belysa motsättningen mellan samhällets önskan om ökad rörlighet på arbetsmarknaden, individens behov av att ett hälsosamt och hållbart vardagsliv och strävan efter minskad miljöpåverkan.

Undanförselplanering på svenska museer / Planning for emergency evacuation of movable cultural property in Swedish museums

Söderberg Isaacs, Jack January 2023 (has links)
Denna uppsats undersöker hur svenska museer för närvarande planlägger för undanförsel inklusive om och hur olika omständigheter påverkar museers förmåga att skapa och verkställa planerna. För att tillgodose uppsatsens syfte och besvara frågeställningarna genomfördes intervjuer med fyra museianställda vid tre museer som vid skrivandet av uppsatsen skapade undanförselplaner. Intervjuerna visar att museerna har kommit långt i sin planläggning och har byggt upp stor kunskap om undanförselplanering på kort varsel. Medverkande informanter har ett stort engagemang för beredskapsarbetet och en stor vilja att skapa undanförselplaner. Informanternas engagemang och vilja har varit drivande för det arbete som hittills har utförts. Det finns samtidigt flera omständigheter som påverkar museers förmåga att skapa och verkställa planerna. Omständigheterna kan museer inte på egen hand lösa. Omständigheterna berör information om hotbilder, dialog och samordning med beredskapsaktörer inklusive resurser. / This essay examines how Swedish museums plan for emergency evacuation of heritage collections in the event of war, including if and how different factors affect museums ability to create and implement said plans. To answer the research questions, interviews with four key informants employed in three museums were conducted. The interviews show that the museums have made great progress in their planning and have accumulated extensive expertise for emergency preparedness in a short period of time. The key informants have a great deal of dedication and enthusiasm for emergency preparedness and a strong commitment to creating emergency evacuation plans for heritage collections. The key informants’ enthusiasm have been a driving factor in the work that has been done so far. There are other factors that affect museums ability to create and implement plans that museums are unable to solve alone. The factors concern information regarding conflict threats and a dialog and coordination with the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency and/or the armed forces including resources.

ATTITUDES AND MEMORIES IN TRANSACTION: A CROSSCULTURAL EXPLORATION OF INTERGROUP ATTITUDES AND THE REMEMBERING ACTIVITY (STORY RECALL).

VAURASTEH, VICTOR PIRUZ. January 1985 (has links)
The purpose of the present study was to explore the relationship between intergroup attitudes and the remembering activity of two culturally different groups of subjects. The theoretical basis of this study is the transactional model as outlined by Meacham (1977). According to this model, the attitudes, memories and the sociocultural background of the rememberer constantly and simultaneously alter one another in a reciprocal fashion. Different sociocultural experiences lead to different attitudes and memories, and any changes brought about in attitudes result in changes in memories and vice versa. To examine this system of relationship, two groups of American and Iranian subjects were recruited. Both groups consisted of 28 university students who were either upper classmen or graduate students. Subjects' initial attitudes toward three sets of attitudinal objects were assessed using a set of 37 Semantic Differential Scales. The three sets of attitudinal objects consisted of peoples and governments of three countries of Iran, Sweden, and the U.S. A week after the inital assessment, the subjects were engaged in a remembering activity which consisted of two tasks. The first task was a free recall task. The subjects were asked to recall, to the best of their abilities, the story of the American hostages in Iran. Following the free recall activity the subjects were given a set of 16 statements, which collectively described the entire hostage event in a concise manner. Each of these statements had four different components which the subjects were asked to mark if they would recognize them. The four components were action, agent, time, and explanation. Immediately after the recall and recognition tasks, the attitudes of the subjects toward the same attitudinal objects were assessed again. The data did not provide any support for the transactional model, but nevertheless revealed some significant differences between the two groups of subjects in regard to some of the attitudinal objects.

The Impact of Culture on the Decision Making Process in Restaurants

Boonme, Kittipong 08 1900 (has links)
Understanding the process of consumers during key purchasing decision points is the margin between success and failure for any business. The cultural differences between the factors that affect consumers in their decision-making process is the motivation of this research. The purpose of this research is to extend the current body of knowledge about decision-making factors by developing and testing a new theoretical model to measure how culture may affect the attitudes and behaviors of consumers in restaurants. This study has its theoretical foundation in the theory of service quality, theory of planned behavior, and rational choice theory. To understand how culture affects the decision-making process and perceived satisfaction, it is necessary to analyze the relationships among the decision factors and attitudes. The findings of this study contribute by building theory and having practical implications for restaurant owners and managers. This study employs a mixed methodology of qualitative and quantitative research. More specifically, the methodologies employed include the development of a framework and testing of that framework via collection of data using semi-structured interviews and a survey instrument. Considering this framework, we test culture as a moderating relationship by using respondents’ birth country, parents’ birth country and ethnic identity. The results of this study conclude, in the restaurant context, culture significantly moderates consumers’ perception of service quality, overall satisfaction, and behavior intention.of OA.

Linking institutional, economic, technological and cultural context to entrepreneurship in regions of Europe

Unknown Date (has links)
Researchers and policy makers consider entrepreneurship to be a major source of economic development and competitiveness. Determinants of entrepreneurship have been studied at individual, regional and national levels. Even though research indicates that variation in the levels of entrepreneurship across regions within nations is greater than the national differences and that these differences persist over time (Bosma & Schutjen 2009, 2011; Fritsch & Mueller 2006; Sternberg 2004; Tamásy 2006), we still do not know the full range of regional level determinants of entrepreneurship. I drew from Wennekers’ (2006) framework and link two lines of research (international entrepreneurship and international management) to examine the effects of institutional, economic, technological and cultural contexts on entrepreneurship across within-country regions developed ten hypotheses regarding the relationship of institutional, economic, technological and cultural context to entrepreneurship. I tested these hypotheses within Europe using the regional classification scheme developed by the European Union. Data for the variables came from the European Values Survey, European Social Survey, Eurostat, World Bank, International Social Security Association, Eurobarometer and the Global Competitiveness Report. To test the hypothesized relationships, I use Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM 6.0.) The results indicate that there is a positive relationship between institutional trust, Long Term Orientation and entrepreneurship levels across regions. In conclusion, examination of region-level predictors of entrepreneurship must include different measures of entrepreneurship to provide more accurate understanding and to inform policy makers. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
