Organisationers fina men otydliga språk : Användandet av buzzwords i en HR-kontext / The nice but unclear language of organizations : The usage of buzzwords in an HR-contextLager, Lina, Olofsson, Clara January 2023 (has links)
Det är inte svårt att hitta ord och fraser med oklar eller otydlig innebörd i organisationers strategiska processer. Dessa kan påverka hur ledarskapet uppfattas, hur beslut tas och hur processer implementeras. HR har möjlighet att påverka relationen mellan medarbetare och chefer men HR’s språk är idag outforskat. Därför ämnar denna studie utforska användningen av dessa oklara och otydliga ord och fraser i en HR-kontext. I vår studie benämns oklara och otydliga ord och fraser som buzzwords, och HR-kontexten avser HR som ledning och styrning. Studien har ett induktivt förhållningssätt där en fallstudie har ramat in buzzwords inom en HR-kontext. Empiri samlades in med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer och en kvalitativ dokumentundersökning, då vi menar att buzzwords är socialt konstruerat av människor i HR- kontexten. Därefter genomfördes en tematisk analys med ett tolkande synsätt som skapade teman för att strukturera vårt utforskande. Dessa 4 teman tolkades sedan i relation till en kvalitativ teoretisk förankring. I första temat framgår det att ett slutgiltigt lexikon för buzzwords inte finns, men att buzzwords går att dela upp i olika användningsområden kopplade till olika HR-processer. Nästa tema symboliserar olika syner av buzzwords som avgör om det behöver hanteras eller inte. Det tredje temat beskriver varför buzzwords används i HR-kontexten och här kopplas buzzwords till retorikens behov av att behöva övertala, buzzwords är då antingen ett verktyg eller ett krav. Slutligen fann vi att det är lätt att dribbla bort sig själv genom buzzwords om HR inte förstår sin verksamhet. Svaret på vårt utforskande syfte symboliserar hur frågor kring vad, hur, när och varför buzzwords används i HR-kontexten, vilket ger mer klarhet i organisationers fina men otydliga språk. / It is not hard to find words and phrases with an unclear or inexplicit meaning in organization’s strategical processes. These can impact how the leadership is perceived, how decisions are made and how processes are implemented. HR has the opportunity to influence the relationship between managers and employees, but the language of HR is unexplored today. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the usage of unclear of inexplicit words and phrases in an HR-context. In our study, unclear and inexplicit words is defined as buzzwords, and the HR-context refers to HR as management and control. This study has an inductive approach where a case study helped us to frame buzzwords in an HR- context. Empiri has been gathered with the help of semi-structured interviews and a qualitative document-investigation, since we mean that buzzwords are socially constructed by people in the HR- context. Thereafter, we did a thematic analysis with an interpretive approach which created themes to be able to structure our exploring. These four themes were interpreted in relation to a qualitative theoretical grounding. In the first theme it appears that there is no final lexicon for buzzwords, but that buzzwords can be divided into different kinds of areas of application linked to different HR-processes. The next theme symbolizes different views of buzzwords which decides if it needs to be dealt with or not. The third theme describes why buzzwords is used in the HR-context and here buzzwords are linked to the rhetoric’s need to persuade, buzzwords are then rather a tool or a demand. Finally, we found that it is easy to dribble yourself away by using buzzwords if HR does not understand one’s organization. The answer to our exploring purpose symbolizes how questions about what, how, when and why buzzwords are used in the HR-context, which gives more clarity in organization’s nice but unclear language.

“Fake it till you make it” : En kvalitativ studie om hur rekryterare bedömer personligheter och hanterar utmaningar vid chefsrekryteringNilefrii, Melina, Persson, Ludvig January 2019 (has links)
In order to be hired, an applicant is expected to possess and live up to a variety of requirements. Though competences such as previous work experience and levels of studies are easily presented and measurable, this presumably may not be the case of more inexplicit information such as people's personalities and attitudes. The purpose of this study is to understand how recruiters value and determine personalities of candidates applying for executive positions. Furthermore it seeks to examine how recruiters handle potential challenges with trying to determine these personalities. Addressing these questions, we integrate semi-structured interviews with recruiters and an analysis of 100 job advertisements for executive positions. The interviews were performed with 6 highly qualified recruiters possessing substantial experience in recruitment regarding executive positions. Found was that recruiters do not seek to determine personalities, but rather personality traits relevant to the job position in question. These personality traits were something that recruiters argued being taken highly in to consideration when determining who to hire. In order to determine these traits, recruiters proposed several methods. Usually, a personality test filled by the applicant set the tone for the rest of the recruitment process. The recruiters alleged that the result of the test formed behaviour related questions during the job-interview regarding the personality traits of interest. Another method used, which had a clash of believed validity, was the estimation of applicants personality traits by looking at their behaviour during the actual interview. The challenges with trying to determine these personality traits proved to be 1) Misunderstandings between applicants and recruiters 2) Differences in applicants love of ease and skill regarding the job interview as a format 3) Candidates telling outright lies. In order to avoid misunderstandings recruiters asked candidates to give examples from real life experiences. To handle the risk of candidates being skillful in doing interviews a trial of employment was used so that the recruiter had a chance to evaluate the candidate in its executive position. The risk of applicants telling lies was resolved by either a) Trying to explain as little as possible regarding the job, so that the applicant would not be able to form their answers b) By asking follow up questions regarding the personality traits of interest without revealing what was looked for.
