Purpose: This research considers the design and operation of a non-modular professional doctorate to meet the needs of professionals working in the built environment who wish to obtain a doctoral qualification. It seeks to identify the essential components and support mechanisms to provide an alternative to other forms of doctorate which draws on their strengths while addressing some of their shortcomings. It answers questions regarding the suitability of a programme which can successfully operate within a reasonable timeframe. Research Design: The research is set in a real-life phenomenological paradigm concerning the experience and development of candidates registered for a professional doctorate. The conceptual framework governed both the design of the research and the design of a two-stage curriculum. Regular intervention and evaluation using action research methodology was used to improve practice. The research produced findings through multiple sources of evidence. Data were collected from course documentation, online discussion forums, focus groups, individual reflections and interviews. Findings: The work found that a community of practice consisting of candidates and staff, specifically focused on learning and the continuous development of candidates, provides a suitable vehicle for professional doctorate work. Candidates benefit from engaging in carefully constructed summative and formative assessment with prompt feedback. The assessment informed regular workshops containing an active learning format supplemented through additional support from a virtual learning environment. Crucially, all three components are required to support each other by drawing on their individual strengths. Conclusion: This action research project made a modest but significant contribution to curriculum development at doctoral level. The research developed a model which enabled academic practice to help candidates improve their professional practice. Self-motivated candidates with appropriate supervisory support can complete a professional doctorate within a realistic timeframe when there is carefully constructed synergy between their doctorate, its supporting mechanisms and their own professional practice.

Problemformulering: Flexibelt arbete har blivit allt vanligare i arbetslivet, vilket innebär att enskilda medarbetare har ökat inflytande över när, var och hur de utför sitt arbete. Flexibelt arbete har visats kunna påverka medarbetares psykosociala arbetsmiljö såväl positivt som negativt vilket gör att tillväxten av flexibelt arbete ställer högre krav på- och bidrar till nya utmaningar för chefer, inte minst vad gäller det psykosociala arbetsmiljöarbetet. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att studera chefers upplevelser av att leda det psykosociala arbetsmiljöarbetet i organisationer med flexibelt arbete. Metod: För att besvara syftet har en kvalitativ metod med en induktiv ansats tillämpats. Data samlades in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer där nio chefer inom kommunal verksamhet intervjuades. Intervjuerna transkriberades och materialet analyserades med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys, med manifest tolkning. Resultat och slutsats: Analysen resulterade i fyra huvudkategorier med sammanlagt tretton underkategorier. Flexibelt arbete bidrar med en rad chefs- och ledarskapsutmaningar kopplade till det psykosociala arbetsmiljöarbetet. Trots detta var inställningen till flexibelt arbete i huvudsak positiv bland cheferna, vilket i stor utsträckning berodde på de övervägande positiva effekterna flexibelt arbete visat sig ha på medarbetare och deras välmående. Därför dras slutsatsen att de chefs- och ledarskapsutmaningar som identifierats i studien kompenseras av de positiva effekter flexibelt arbete har på medarbetare, vilket är gynnsamt för ett hållbart psykosocialt arbetsmiljöarbete. / Aim: The aim of the study was to study managers' experiences of leading the psychosocial work environment work in organizations with flexible work.  Method: To answer the purpose, a qualitative method with an inductive approach has been applied. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews where nine managers in municipal operations were interviewed. The interviews were transcribed and the material was analyzed with a qualitative content analysis, with manifest interpretation.   Results and conclusion: The analysis resulted in four main categories with a total of thirteen subcategories. The results showed that flexible work contributes to managerial and leadership challenges linked to psychosocial work environment work. Despite this, attitudes towards flexible working were generally positive among managers, largely due to the predominantly positive effects flexible working was shown to have on employees and their well-being. Therefore, it is concluded that the managerial and leadership challenges identified in the study are compensated by the positive effects flexible working has on employees and their well-being, which is favorable for sustainable psychosocial work environment work.
