The aim of this study was to reach an increased understanding about how the changing process with regards to criminality and violent behaviour of men may look like. The questions on these issues were: (1) How do three men describe the changing process of their life manner from violence and criminality into non violence and non criminal way of life? (2) How do three professionals from the probation service describe the life changing process of men from violence and criminality into non violence and non criminal way of life? Our research study was thoroughly done based on a qualitative approach method, interviewing six individuals by following the theme focused interview guidelines. Three men with previous violence and crime records, actors, and three professionals working in the probation service, observers, were interviewed and the selection was intended to highlight the problem from two angles. The interviews were analyzed through social psychology and pattern which describes the process of changes. The results showed that the changing process from violence and criminality is complex and there are indeed several factors likewise major cause such as important circumstances, supporter and mentor, altered self-image and motivation was of great importance. The results correspond with previous research.

The purpose of this thesis has been to investigate the effect of introducing the qualitystandard ISO 9001:2000 at Metso Paper Service in Sundsvall. The investigation has been focused on implementation of the new method of work, Continuous improvements. The implementation has been studied in a case study with both a qualitative and quantitative method. Continuous Improvements is a way of working focused on continuously increasing the efficiency and having the purpose of achieving the formulated goals. This is often accomplished by the organisation carrying out the changing process to a great extent in small but efficient teams. The effects of Metso’s introduction of the system are many. Above all the possibility of influence on the changing process has increased. This study also shows significant increase of the motivation and engagement of the employees as well as the number of ideas of improvements.

Inom den svenska förskolan har antalet barn ökat i barngrupperna samtidigt som resurserna har minskat. I det ökade barngrupperna skapas det en större oro bland barnen. Pedagogerna inom den svenska förskolan upplever att det blir mycket spring och konflikter. Detta gör att pedagogerna strävar efter att hitta nya arbetssätt som minskar oron och konflikterna bland barnen. Mitt syfte i denna studie är att undersöka hur en förskola genomförde en förändringsprocess kring sin innemiljö, det vill säga rum, möblering och material. Syftet är även att studera hur barns sociala samspel påverkas av den nya miljön där kommunikationen och interaktionen det vill säga samspelet mellan barn-barn och barn-miljö är som en viktig del i barnens lärande. I interaktioner mellan barnen stimuleras språket och språket stimulerar barnens tänkande. En viktig del i interaktionen är miljön. Miljön har en betydelsefull roll för att stimulera barnens utveckling och lärande. Metoden för studien har bestått i kvalitativa intervjuer och studien är utförd på en förskola med fem informanter som är pedagoger. Resultatet av studien visar att för att en förändringsprocess ska bli framgångsrik behövs det inspirerande och lyhörda ledare. Ledarna behöver ge sina medarbetare tid att gå igenom förändringsprocessens alla steg. Solrosens förskola vill ge en tillgänglig, inspirerande och utmanande innemiljö där barnen får utvecklas i sin egen takt. Efter förskolans förändringsprocess, är deras innemiljö inte längre hemlik utan en miljö gjord för att barn ska bli inspirerade, kreativa och utvecklas som individer. / There is a great increase of the number of children in Swedish preschools and in the same time there is less resources. With the increase of the size of the group of children we have a growth of greater anxiety. The teachers in Swedish preschool experience a lot of running around and conflicts. This means that the teachers strives to find a new way to decrease the anxiety and conflicts among the children. The purpose of my study is to examine how one preschool carried out a change process in their indoor environment concerning the room, furniture and material. The purpose is also to study how children’s social interaction is affected by the new environment, there communication and interaction that is between child –child and child- environment which is a great deal of importance to a child’s learning process. This interaction between children stimulates their language which in its turn stimulates the children´s thinking. An important deal in interaction is the environment. The environment has an important part in stimulating the children´s development and learning. My method has included qualitative interviews and the study is done on a preschool with five informants which are teachers. The result of the study shows that to get a successful changing process the leaders has to be inspiring and perceptive. The leaders need to give their collaborators the time to go through every step of the changing process. The preschool Solrosen is keen on offering an accessible, inspiring and challenging indoor environment for children to develope in their own pace. After the preschools changing process, their indoor environments is no longer like a home, instead it has become a place for children to be inspired, creative and develope into individuals.

As prime objective, it intended to discover the most relevant aspects in this relation. For this reason, a process innovation inductive micro-environment was selected aiming to observe the implications of the change management practices in the efficacy of its implementation, generated by the adoption of the Recof (Regime Aduaneiro de Entreposto Industrial sob Controle Informatizado). An exploratory nature research was carried out, with the application of the qualitative method and the utilization of in-depth interviews with persons responsible for the implementation of this special regime and also with its main participants, in three major companies in this segment Siemens, Motorola and Ericsson Telecommunications. The collected data was treated by means of content analysis obtaining categories related to the characterization of the change and its management, to the kind and efficacy of process innovations implementation and to the relevant aspects of the influential relation between these two subjects. The analysis of the results revealed that the planning of activities, the commitment, the engagement of the participants and the support from the top management were the aspects of the change management that most contributed for the efficacy of the process innovations implementation that were essentially incremental. These were the most relevant discoveries in the influential relation. Additionally it was observed that, although all the phases of the changing process preconized in the literature were not followed, highly significant level of efficacy was obtained. Considering this, it was concluded that the changing process phases assume distinct relevance when related to efficacy in an environment such as the telecommunications. / Este estudo trata da relação entre a gestão da mudança e a eficácia na implementação das inovações de processo em um ambiente altamente dinâmico e competitivo - o segmento das Telecomunicações. Como objetivo principal, buscou-se descobrir os aspectos mais relevantes nessa relação. Para tanto, foi selecionado um micro-ambiente indutor de inovações de processo para se poder observar as implicações das práticas da gestão da mudança na eficácia da sua implementação, geradas pela adoção do Regime Aduaneiro de Entreposto Industrial sob Controle Informatizado (Recof). Foi realizada uma pesquisa de natureza exploratória, com aplicação do método qualitativo, e a utilização de entrevistas em profundidade com as pessoas responsáveis pela implantação desse regime especial e com os seus principais participantes, em três empresas de grande representatividade no segmento Siemens, Motorola e Ericsson Telecomunicações. Os dados foram tratados por meio da análise de conteúdo tendo sido obtidas categorias relacionadas à caracterização da mudança e sua gestão, ao tipo e eficácia da implementação das inovações de processo e aos aspectos relevantes da relação de influência entre os dois fenômenos. A análise dos resultados revelou que o planejamento das atividades, o comprometimento, o envolvimento dos participantes e o suporte da alta direção foram os aspectos da gestão da mudança que mais contribuíram para a eficácia da implementação das inovações de processo que foram essencialmente incrementais. Essas foram as descobertas mais relevantes na relação de nfluência. Adicionalmente observou-se que, apesar de não ter sido seguido todo o roteiro das fases do processo de mudança conforme preconizado pela literatura, obteve-se um nível significativo de eficácia. Com isso, se concluiu que as fases do processo de mudança assumem importância distinta quando relacionadas à eficácia em um ambiente como o das telecomunicações.

Föreliggande studie syftar till att undersöka hur ett urval enhetschefer på sjukhus inom Västra Götalandsregionen upplever ledningens kommunikation och vilka förutsättningarkommunikationsinsatsen ger enhetschefer att kommunicera med sina medarbetare. Studien undersöker kommunikation i en förändringsprocess under 2023 och utgår från organisationskommunikationens begrepp meningsskapande, meningsgivande samt transparent kommunikation.  För att tillhandahålla kvalitativ kännedom genomfördes materialinsamlingen med hjälp av sju individuella semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Reflexiv tematisk analys används som analysmetod för att identifiera mönster, kategorier och teman från empirin. Resultatet belyser betydelsen av tvåvägskommunikation, exempelvis dialoger, i en hierarkiskt styrd organisation och hur det skapar möjligheter att kommunicera utökad meningsskapande och meningsgivande. Resultatet visar även huruvida ett tolkningsbaserat kommunikationsuppdrag lämpar sig inom Västra Götalandsregionens sjukhus. Analysens resultat påvisar att det faktum att media hinnerrapportera om förändringen innan enhetscheferna kan samtala med sina medarbetare är ett hinder och resulterar i avsaknaden av förtroendegivande kommunikation. / This study aims to examine how a sample of unit managers at hospitals within Västra Götalandsregionen experience the organizational managements communication and what prerequisites to communication efforts the unit managers conceive to communicate with their employees. The study examines communication during a change process during 2023 and is based on organizational communications concepts sensemaking, sensegiving and transparent communication.  In order to provide qualitative knowledge, the empirical material was collected through seven individual semi-structured interviews. Reflexive thematic analysis is used as a method to identify patterns, categories and themes from the empirical data. The results highlight the importance of two-way communication, such as dialogues, in a hierarchical organization and how it creates opportunities to communicate extended sensemaking and sensegiving. The result also reflects on whether an interpretation-based communication mission is suitable in the hospitals of Västra Götalandsregionen. The study’s results clarify that the fact that the media reporting about the change before unit managers can communicate with their employees is an obstacle and leads to lack of trustworthy communication

Nombre de recherches portent sur la question de l’abandon de la délinquance et du processus de désistance qui la précède. Bien que les angles d’approche soient diversifiés, elles s’entendent pour dire que ce processus implique des changements sociaux autant que personnels. Ce mémoire s’est intéressé à la question des changements identitaires chez des individus qui avaient été condamnés à une longue peine d’emprisonnement et qui ont obtenu leur libération conditionnelle totale. Le principal objectif de ce mémoire est de comprendre en quoi les aspects permanents de l’identité et ceux qui sont modifiables sont à l’œuvre dans la trajectoire de changement d’un homme condamné à perpétuité pour meurtre et qui a obtenu sa libération conditionnelle totale. La méthode qualitative qu’est le récit de vie, et selon une perspective phénoménologique, a été utilisée afin d’atteindre les objectifs de cette recherche. Un homme condamné à une sentence de prison à vie, mais ayant obtenu sa libération totale a été rencontré en dix entretiens en profondeur d’une durée d’une heure à une heure et demie. Nous avons choisi de procéder à un nombre élevé d’entretiens de type semi-directifs afin de permettre l’approfondissement des propos de l’individu rencontré. Les résultats suggèrent que certaines représentations de l’identité restent stables dans le temps alors que d’autres se transforment au fil de la trajectoire de vie. En effet, de l’analyse du récit de vie de l’individu se dégagent deux représentations stables, qui marquent durablement l’identité de ce dernier dans sa trajectoire de vie, et quatre modifiables, qui se sont développées au cours de sa détention. Les résultats montrent aussi que les représentations stables semblent intervenir autant dans le processus criminogène que dans celui de la désistance. / Numerous studies have focused on the issues of abandonment of crime and the desistance process that precedes it. While the approaches retained are diversified, they all point to the social as well as personal changes the process implies. This thesis focuses on the identity changes of an individual who received a long prison sentence, and who later obtained a full parole. The main objective of this thesis is to understand what are the permanent aspects of identity and those that are modifiable at work in the changing path of a man sentenced for murder and has obtained full parole. The life approach, and in a phenomenological perspective, was used to achieve the objectives of this research. A man sentenced to a life prison and who later obtained his total release was met for ten in-depth interviews each lasting between an hour and an hour and a half. Such a large number of semi-structured type interviews allowed us to deepen our understanding. The results suggest that certain representations of identity remain stable over time while others change over the life course. Indeed, from the analysis of the individual's life story two stable representations emerged that permanently mark his identity during his life trajectory, and four modifiable, which developed during his detention. The results also show that stable representations appear to be involved in both the criminogenic process and during his desistance.
