The aim of this research has been to investigate the UK Home Office, Country Policy and Information Notes (CINP) in the asylum-seeking process, through investigating the case of Eritrean CINP documents from 2010 until 2018. This single case study aimed to confirm its theoretical background of Lukes 2005 three-dimensional view of power theory. A pattern-matching analysing technique was implemented to address the research questions with the effort of trying to find overlapping patterns between the theory and the observed patterns in the data. The result shows there are some similarities between patterns. The connection between the three dimensions of power and the three overlapping patterns are then broadly discussed.

Working from the office was not a plausible choice for many organizations due to the COVID-19 pandemic that started in 2020. The insurance industry was one of the industries in Sweden that had to start working from home. This impacted how management could do their job without direct interaction with, and oversight of, employees in the normal office environment. This paper uses theoretical frameworks to establish a foundation within management control systems and performance measurements. A self-built model was constructed based on previous frameworks from Merchant & Van der Stede and Kaplan & Norton. The study is of quantitative nature and uses a survey approach to collect new data within the insurance industry. The concluding remarks of this study are that a change occurred when tracking work performance according to the self-built model. Furthermore, different aspects of the self-constructed model have had a more significant response than others.

Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Einführung von Home-Office in der Coronapandemie 2020 bei Unternehmen. Ziel ist es, wichtige Faktoren für die Implementierung darzulegen und eventuelle Handlungsempfehlungen für Betriebe abzuleiten. Dafür führte der Autor eine qualitative empirische Erhebung mit Hilfe von Interviews mit Unternehmensvertretern aus verschiedenen Unternehmensgrößen und Branchen durch. Es stellt sich heraus, dass eine Wechselwirkung zwischen organisationalen und mitarbeiterbezogenen Rahmenbedingungen für ein erfolgreiches und wertschöpfendes Home-Office besteht und diese sich gegenseitig beeinflussen können. Der Autor entwickelte zusätzlich eine HO-Ratio, die in ein technisches Tool integriert, den Wertschöpfungsgrad von Teleheimarbeit in einem Unternehmen ermitteln und bei einer Implementierung helfen soll. Umfangreichere Forschungen könnten perspektivisch größere, repräsentativere Ergebnisse präzisieren oder auf spezifische Tätigkeitsbereiche oder Branchen (z.B. Verwaltung oder Produktion) eingehen.:ABBILDUNGSVERZEICHNIS ABKÜRZUNGSVERZEICHNIS 1 Einleitung 1 1.1 Die Corona-Pandemie 2020/2021 – ein kurzer Überblick 1.2 Thema, Aufbau und Ziel der Arbeit 2 Allgemeine Grundlagen 2.1 Home-Office – Teleheimarbeit 2.1.1 Definition 2.1.2 Entwicklung der Teleheimarbeit - weltweit 2.1.3 Entwicklung der Teleheimarbeit - Deutschland 2.1.4 Allgemeine Vor- und Nachteile für Unternehmen 2.1.5 Anforderungen für Home-Office 2.1.6 Rechtliche Grundlagen zu Home-Office in Deutschland 2.1.7 Rechtliche Grundlagen zur Corona-Arbeitsschutzverordnung 2.1.8 Gründe gegen Home-Office vor der Coronapandemie 2.2 Krisenmanagement 2.2.1 Definition Krisenmanagement 2.2.2 Risk Management und Umwelteinflüsse 2.2.3 Das Konzept der „Lernenden Organisation“ 3 Vorangegangene Fremdstudien 3.1 Aktueller empirischer Forschungsstand 3.2 Theoretische Rahmung – Modell von Herrmann und Frey Cordes 2020 4 Methodische Vorgehensweise 5 Sampling und Feldzugang 6 Akquise der Unternehmen 7 Leitfadengestützte Interviews 8 Ergebnisse der empirischen Forschung (Unternehmen) 8.1 Persönliche Werdegänge der Befragten und deren Akzeptanz von Home-Office 8.2 Vorteile für Unternehmen 8.2.1 Krankenstand reduziert sich 8.2.2 Weniger Kosten 8.2.3 Attraktivität des Unternehmens steigt 8.2.4 Tätigkeit geeignet 8.2.5 Mitarbeiter ist motivierter, konzentrierter und arbeitet länger 8.3 Nachteile für Unternehmen 8.3.1 Geschäftsführung dagegen 8.3.2 Tätigkeit lässt es nicht zu 8.3.3 Fehlende Kontrolle 8.3.4 Organisationsaufwand / -kosten 8.4 Tätigkeiten und Ausübung von Home-Office im Unternehmen vor der Coronapandemie 8.5 Unternehmen in der Coronapandemie 8.5.1 Zeitlicher Verlauf der Implementierung 8.5.2 Mitarbeiter und Berufe im Home-Office während der Pandemie 8.5.3 Mitarbeiter und Berufe nicht im Home-Office während der Pandemie 8.5.4 Vorkehrungen für die Mitarbeiter im Home-Office 8.5.5 Vorkehrungen für die Mitarbeiter vor Ort 8.5.6 Positive Abläufe während der Einführung von Home-Office in der Coronakrise 8.5.7 Schwierigkeiten während der Einführung von Home-Office in der Coronakrise 8.5.8 Videokonferenzen im Home-Office 8.5.9 Kurzarbeit 8.6 Unternehmen nach der Coronapandemie 8.6.1 Home-Office soll weitergeführt werden 8.6.2 Home-Office soll nicht weitergeführt werden 8.6.3 Folgen für die Unternehmen 8.6.4 Folgen für Home-Office – Corona als Katalysator 8.6.5 Vor- und Nachteile sind gleichgeblieben 9 Ergebnisse der empirischen Forschung (Mitarbeiter) 9.1 Selbstorganisation des Mitarbeiters 9.2 Vorteile für den Arbeitnehmer 9.2.1 Arbeit in Corona gewährleistet 9.2.2 Risikominderung Corona 9.2.3 Weniger Pendeln / Reisen 9.2.4 Flexibilität und Work-Life-Balance 9.3 Nachteile des Arbeitnehmers 9.3.1 Internetverbindung schlecht / Technik funktioniert nicht 9.3.2 Höhere Fixkosten für den Arbeitnehmer 9.3.3 Gesundheit leidet 9.3.4 Familie stört 9.3.5 Wohnung nicht geeignet 9.3.6 Trennung von Arbeit und Freizeit / Überarbeitung / Ablenkung 9.3.7 Soziale Isolation und psychische Probleme 9.4 Mitarbeiter während der Coronakrise 9.4.1 Feedback und Umfragen 9.4.2 Änderung von Meinungen durch die Umstellung auf Home-Office 9.4.3 Mitarbeiter (nicht) im Home-Office nach der Pandemie 9.4.4 Zukunft von Home-Office in der Arbeitswelt 10 Tipps für Unternehmen 10.1 Einstellung der Geschäftsführung zu Home-Office 10.2 Technische Voraussetzungen schaffen und Kosten abwägen 10.3 Datenschutz beachten 10.4 Branchenabhängig 10.5 Mischform des Home-Office 10.6 Beachtung rechtlicher Aspekte und die Alternative des mobilen Arbeitens 10.7 Krisenmanagement 10.8 Motivation des Mitarbeiters und Kommunikation 10.9 Vertrauen in die Mitarbeiter und ergebnisorientierte Kontrolle 10.10 Feelgood-Management und Teambildung 10.11 Organisation im Vorfeld 11 Home-Office-Ratio 12 Diskussion 13 Fazit 14 Ausblick ANHANG LITERATURVERZEICHNIS EIGENSTÄNDIGKEITSERKLÄRUNG / The present work deals with the introduction of home office during the corona pandemic 2020 in companies. The aim is to present important factors for the implementation and to derive any recommendations for action for companies. For this purpose, the author carried out a qualitative empirical survey with the help of interviews with company representatives from different company sizes and industries. It turns out that there is an interaction between organizational and employee-related framework conditions for a successful and value-adding home office and that these can influence each other. The author also developed an HO ratio, which is integrated into a technical tool, to determine the degree of added value of teleworking in a company and to help with implementation. In future, more extensive research could specify larger, more representative results or discuss specific areas of activity or industries (e.g. administration or production).:ABBILDUNGSVERZEICHNIS ABKÜRZUNGSVERZEICHNIS 1 Einleitung 1 1.1 Die Corona-Pandemie 2020/2021 – ein kurzer Überblick 1.2 Thema, Aufbau und Ziel der Arbeit 2 Allgemeine Grundlagen 2.1 Home-Office – Teleheimarbeit 2.1.1 Definition 2.1.2 Entwicklung der Teleheimarbeit - weltweit 2.1.3 Entwicklung der Teleheimarbeit - Deutschland 2.1.4 Allgemeine Vor- und Nachteile für Unternehmen 2.1.5 Anforderungen für Home-Office 2.1.6 Rechtliche Grundlagen zu Home-Office in Deutschland 2.1.7 Rechtliche Grundlagen zur Corona-Arbeitsschutzverordnung 2.1.8 Gründe gegen Home-Office vor der Coronapandemie 2.2 Krisenmanagement 2.2.1 Definition Krisenmanagement 2.2.2 Risk Management und Umwelteinflüsse 2.2.3 Das Konzept der „Lernenden Organisation“ 3 Vorangegangene Fremdstudien 3.1 Aktueller empirischer Forschungsstand 3.2 Theoretische Rahmung – Modell von Herrmann und Frey Cordes 2020 4 Methodische Vorgehensweise 5 Sampling und Feldzugang 6 Akquise der Unternehmen 7 Leitfadengestützte Interviews 8 Ergebnisse der empirischen Forschung (Unternehmen) 8.1 Persönliche Werdegänge der Befragten und deren Akzeptanz von Home-Office 8.2 Vorteile für Unternehmen 8.2.1 Krankenstand reduziert sich 8.2.2 Weniger Kosten 8.2.3 Attraktivität des Unternehmens steigt 8.2.4 Tätigkeit geeignet 8.2.5 Mitarbeiter ist motivierter, konzentrierter und arbeitet länger 8.3 Nachteile für Unternehmen 8.3.1 Geschäftsführung dagegen 8.3.2 Tätigkeit lässt es nicht zu 8.3.3 Fehlende Kontrolle 8.3.4 Organisationsaufwand / -kosten 8.4 Tätigkeiten und Ausübung von Home-Office im Unternehmen vor der Coronapandemie 8.5 Unternehmen in der Coronapandemie 8.5.1 Zeitlicher Verlauf der Implementierung 8.5.2 Mitarbeiter und Berufe im Home-Office während der Pandemie 8.5.3 Mitarbeiter und Berufe nicht im Home-Office während der Pandemie 8.5.4 Vorkehrungen für die Mitarbeiter im Home-Office 8.5.5 Vorkehrungen für die Mitarbeiter vor Ort 8.5.6 Positive Abläufe während der Einführung von Home-Office in der Coronakrise 8.5.7 Schwierigkeiten während der Einführung von Home-Office in der Coronakrise 8.5.8 Videokonferenzen im Home-Office 8.5.9 Kurzarbeit 8.6 Unternehmen nach der Coronapandemie 8.6.1 Home-Office soll weitergeführt werden 8.6.2 Home-Office soll nicht weitergeführt werden 8.6.3 Folgen für die Unternehmen 8.6.4 Folgen für Home-Office – Corona als Katalysator 8.6.5 Vor- und Nachteile sind gleichgeblieben 9 Ergebnisse der empirischen Forschung (Mitarbeiter) 9.1 Selbstorganisation des Mitarbeiters 9.2 Vorteile für den Arbeitnehmer 9.2.1 Arbeit in Corona gewährleistet 9.2.2 Risikominderung Corona 9.2.3 Weniger Pendeln / Reisen 9.2.4 Flexibilität und Work-Life-Balance 9.3 Nachteile des Arbeitnehmers 9.3.1 Internetverbindung schlecht / Technik funktioniert nicht 9.3.2 Höhere Fixkosten für den Arbeitnehmer 9.3.3 Gesundheit leidet 9.3.4 Familie stört 9.3.5 Wohnung nicht geeignet 9.3.6 Trennung von Arbeit und Freizeit / Überarbeitung / Ablenkung 9.3.7 Soziale Isolation und psychische Probleme 9.4 Mitarbeiter während der Coronakrise 9.4.1 Feedback und Umfragen 9.4.2 Änderung von Meinungen durch die Umstellung auf Home-Office 9.4.3 Mitarbeiter (nicht) im Home-Office nach der Pandemie 9.4.4 Zukunft von Home-Office in der Arbeitswelt 10 Tipps für Unternehmen 10.1 Einstellung der Geschäftsführung zu Home-Office 10.2 Technische Voraussetzungen schaffen und Kosten abwägen 10.3 Datenschutz beachten 10.4 Branchenabhängig 10.5 Mischform des Home-Office 10.6 Beachtung rechtlicher Aspekte und die Alternative des mobilen Arbeitens 10.7 Krisenmanagement 10.8 Motivation des Mitarbeiters und Kommunikation 10.9 Vertrauen in die Mitarbeiter und ergebnisorientierte Kontrolle 10.10 Feelgood-Management und Teambildung 10.11 Organisation im Vorfeld 11 Home-Office-Ratio 12 Diskussion 13 Fazit 14 Ausblick ANHANG LITERATURVERZEICHNIS EIGENSTÄNDIGKEITSERKLÄRUNG

Telework is a new form of working, performed from home and using information technology and telecommunications. A qualitative, exploratory and empirical research was done, interviewing twenty-one teleworkers from two enterprises, chosen according to the criterion of accessibility. We started analyzing the changing process from the traditional workplace in an organization s office to the new remote form, focussing mainly on the feelings of the people. We also emphasized the life of the workers at home and the intersubjectivities with their families. The problems resulting from a new space-time dimension, the issue of new roles assumed and the identifications that led to new identities, those aspects were all studied in depth. We still approached the social relationship between the interviewees and their colleagues and managers of the enterprises they work for. The resulting data showed that working at home can lead to improvement in the quality of life (well-being). The worker is freer and has more autonomy to organize him/herself, applying his/her own rhythm to professional tasks. The use of a domestic workplace, however, requires an adaptation of the intersubjectivities. It is necessary to find a balance between the different scenes the working and the family one- coexisting in the same space. In this study, it can be observed that teleworkers achieve the above demands. There seem to be gains in the family relationships, due to the fact that workers are more available for domestic routines without neglecting either professional commitment or involvement. It was still noticed and analyzed some rather uneasy feeling caused by the (physical) distance to the entrepreneurial environment. There are losses in the relationship with colleagues and the employing organization, which can jeopardize the career development and become a suffering. According to the way the teleworkers adapt themselves to the new working relationships, the suffering can grow into a pathology or otherwise, become creative / O presente estudo teve por objetivo pesquisar uma nova forma de trabalho, denominada teletrabalho.

Foram ainda abordadas as relações sociais dos depoentes com seus colegas e gestores das empresas. Os resultados mostraram que trabalhar em casa pode levar a uma melhor qualidade de vida (well-being), tendo o trabalhador maior liberdade e autonomia para se organizar, imprimindo um ritmo próprio ao tempo que dedica às atividades profissionais. Porém, o uso do espaço doméstico exige uma acomodação das intersubjetividades, sendo necessária a busca de equilíbrio entre diferentes cenários - do trabalho e da família que passam a conviver no mesmo espaço. Neste estudo, pôde-se observar que tudo isso vem sendo conseguido pelos teletrabalhadores. Parece haver, de fato, um ganho nos relacionamentos familiares, pela maior disponibilidade para o cotidiano doméstico, sem perda de envolvimento e compromisso profissional. Foi ainda observado e analisado um certo mal estar causado pela distância física do ambiente empresarial. Há uma perda no relacionamento com colegas e com a organização, o que pode comprometer o desenvolvimento da carreira e levar a um sofrimento.

This study aims to contribute to an understanding of how the credibility of asylum-seekers is being assessed in the UK; how narratives are valued by decision-makers and tribunal judges, how applicants’ credibility is determined, and what issues may be found with this process. I conducted interviews with seven lawyers who represent asylum-seekers, one decision-maker and one retired tribunal judge to establish their perspectives on the assessment of credibility in the UK. I then analysed these results through the theoretical framework of the sociology of law, focusing on the theories of Pierre Bourdieu and Michel Foucault. I firstly examined specific problematic areas in the practice of credibility assessment, before going on to explore broader contextual factors which may help to explain such issues. This study found that the greatest problems with credibility assessment in practice were demanding expectations of asylum-seekers and misapplication of the government guidelines on credibility, miscommunications and mistranslations, and a lack of considered reasoning in decision-making. These issues were shown to be driven by five main factors: a culture of disbelief, a lack of resources, information and communication issues, ineffective guidelines and the inherently subjective nature of credibility. The results of this study bring into question the neutrality and efficacy of the current system of credibility assessment in practice and its capacity to protect those fleeing persecution under the 1951 Refugee Convention.

This work aims to determine the causes and consequences of workaholism in women working in corporate who had to move from offices to home offices during the coronavirus crisis. The research is conducted on a sample of fourteen women respondents and one male respondent. The selection was made using the snowball method based on age, education, marital status and employment in Alza.cz or Mall.cz e-shops. All participants answered open questions in essays focused on their home office work habits, daily routine and family relationship. Data were analyzed using grounded theory, based on which I developed eight categories - interest in work, stress/fear, workspace, work schedule, setting boundaries between work and personal life, leisure activities, social interactions and roles in the household. These I subsequently organized and discussed in connection with previous research focused on workaholism, work from home and work-family conflict, such as Samantha Ammons, Cecilia Andreassen or Bryan Robinson. The conclusion of the thesis summarizes the results, the limits of the study and recommendations for future research.

Coupled with technological progress, a large degree of connectivity and a new profile of workers opened up many opportunities and relevant aspects that have changed the way of working and their relations in several countries, including Brazil. This technological progress has provided contemporary workers to pursue alternative working outside of the workplace, the office and outside your residence without physical boundaries. Also provided the change in culture of both organizations, as employees, without compromising the Brazilian formal contractual character played by CLT or the Unified Contracting Regime. The emergence of this new type of worker needs to be inserted in the labor market respecting their peculiarities, either by private or public companies. Through a historical review of labor relations and their transformations over time, this research makes a brief reflection and analysis about telework in the Brazilian public administration, implementation, acceptance, advantages, disadvantages, difficulties, external and internal reflections, cultural impact, among others, that this 'new' way of working brings to Brazilian society and the various levels of government. / O mercado de trabalho passa hoje por transformações necessárias para empregados e empregadores. Aliadas ao progresso tecnológico, a um grande grau de conectividade e a um novo perfil de trabalhadores, surgiram muitas oportunidades e relevantes aspectos que modificaram a forma de trabalho e suas relações em vários países, inclusive no Brasil. Esse progresso tecnológico proporcionou aos trabalhadores contemporâneos a alternativa de exercer o trabalho fora do ambiente de trabalho, do escritório, bem como fora da sua residência. Proporcionou também a mudança de cultura tanto das organizações, como de seus colaboradores, sem comprometer o caráter formal contratual brasileiro exercido através da CLT ou do Regime Único de Contratação. O surgimento desse novo tipo de trabalhador acompanha a necessidade de sua inserção no mercado de trabalho respeitando suas peculiaridades, seja por empresas privadas ou públicas. Através de um resgate histórico das relações de trabalho e suas transformações ao longo do tempo, esta pesquisa faz uma breve reflexão e análise acerca do teletrabalho na administração pública brasileira, da sua implementação, aceitação, vantagens, desvantagens, dificuldades, reflexos externos e internos, impacto cultural, entre outros, que essa 'nova' modalidade de trabalho traz à sociedade brasileira e às diversas esferas governamentais.

Investigou-se de que maneira os teletrabalhadores e sua família dão sentido aos dilemas, oportunidades e exigências da realização do trabalho no ambiente familiar, à luz de suas práticas discursivas. Para tanto, entrevistas semi-estruturadas foram realizadas com 25 teletrabalhadores e seus co-residentes e analisadas sob a ótica da análise de conteúdo. A pesquisa revela que quando a casa dá lugar às atividades profissionais do indivíduo, as relações entre as demandas pessoais, familiares e profissionais se tornam mais próximas, diluídas e entrelaçadas. A aproximação das esferas de trabalho e não-trabalho conduz a uma ruptura nas dinâmicas espaciais, temporais e psicológicas desses domínios, proporcionando aos indivíduos oportunidades de desenvolvimento pessoal. No entanto, as mudanças pelas quais os mesmos terão de passar apresentam potencialidades contraditórias. Ao mesmo tempo em que o teletrabalho proporciona uma oportunidade de integração com a família e flexibilidade para o melhor aproveitamento do tempo de trabalho e não-trabalho, a dificuldade de equilibrar dois mundos construídos sobre discursos diversos, o mundo da casa e da rua, pode despontar uma crise, dependendo do preparo de cada família para essa situação de trabalho. A fim de auxiliar na interpretação dos resultados, os pontos de conteúdo mais expressivos, os quais ilustram o exposto acima, foram expostos em quatro temas relacionados ao telehomework: espaço, flexibilidade de tempo, gênero e equilíbrio trabalho-vida pessoal. / This research aims at fostering understanding of telework, especially its dynamic when working is carried out at home domains, through the practice of the home-based telework. It explores how teleworkers make sense out of the dilemmas, opportunities and demands of teleworking from home, through the analysis of their discursive practices. Therefore, semistructured interviews were conducted with a sample of 25 teleworkers and their respective coresidents and analyzed using the method of content analysis. The study reveals that when the home gives place to the professional activities of an individual, the relationship among the personal, family and professional demands become closer, blurred and interlaced. The merging of the working and non-working spheres conducts to a rupture of the spatial, temporal and psychological contours of these domains, bringing the individuals selfdevelopment opportunities. However, the transformations that these individuals will have to face represent contradictory potentialities. Whilst telework brings an opportunity of family integration and flexibility for the better use of working and non-working time, the difficulty of balancing two cultural systems constructed over distinct discourses, the private sphere and the public sphere, may lead to a crisis, depending on the preparation of each family to receive this mode of working from home. In order to contribute to the interpretation of the results, the most expressive topics, which illustrate the above exposed, were presented in four themes related to telehomework: space, time flexibility, gender and work-life balance.

Todays digitized society have open up for new types of office arrangements and possibilities of working from home in a higher extend. This thesis is based on the flexible working culture that is increasing, which means more personal responsibility regarding ergonomic and environment conditions as well as artifacts needed for a well equipped workplace outside the traditional office. Furniture dealers are having a new approach as open office hubs and home office environment are increasing with new needs. This project contains of a small investigation of which artifacts are needed and wanted from a customer perspective in the home environment due to these new behaviors.  This thesis will as well show the outcome and process of one product in a collection of 5 stationary objects. The name of the project is as well the name of the collection. This project consists of two main objectives, customer orientation and product development.
