Human - Technology - Organization (HTO) is a well-established, general unifying concept in the Swedish Accident Investigation Authority (SHK) that represents an approach, knowledge and use of various tools regarding interactions between people, technology and organizational factors. The HTO-perspective is well described in literature but there are few studies on how SHKs staff experiences working according to this method in their investigations. The aim of this study was therefore to describe their HTO-perspective, examine how it is used in the investigations at SHK and describe the investigators experience of working with the HTO-perspective as well as the method's usefulness compared to old methods in accident investigations. A literature study has been conducted in the areas of HTO, Theory of planned behavior (TPB) and safety culture. TPB and safety culture are described in this paper since they highlight the different aspects of a HTO-perspective. The hypothesis was answered by using semi-structured interviews. The interviews were analyzed by a content analysis and themes were identified. Furthermore the material from the interviews was subsequently structured through a Strength – Weakness – Opportunities – Threats analysis (SWOT), i.e. the informants' view on the HTO-perspective was structured based on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats SHKs staff experience that the method has in the investigative work. The informants consisted of two investigators at SHK who 3have worked with accident investigations for a long time in various roles. The results yielded that the investigators had a positive attitude towards conducting investigations according to the HTO-perspective because they feel that this perspective provides them with cross-competence. A flaw is though that the perspective lacks a structured approach. As a result of this, the investigators own experiences and expertise play a major role in the quality of the investigation. As the study's aim is met and the informants are considered to be experts the validity requirements are also fulfilled.

När Covid-19 pandemin slog till var många organisationer tvungna att anpassasig till nya arbetssätt. För många medförde det att arbete som tidigare utförts påkontor nu istället fick flytta hem. Detta innebar en stor omställning inte minst förmyndigheter som inte haft möjlighet att utföra sitt arbeta hemifrån tidigare.Syftet med studien var att undersöka positiva och negativa effekter iarbetsmiljön vid en omställning från kontorsarbete till arbete hemifrån.Myndigheter och andra organisationer kan ha nytta av denna nya kunskap för attförutse riskfaktorer och förebygga dessa. En fallstudie genomfördes på en enhetpå en myndighet i en större stad i Sverige. En enkät skickades ut till enhetensamt två djupintervjuer genomfördes. Resultatet presenterar samband somframkommit i den organisatoriska och sociala arbetsmiljön samt fysiskaarbetsmiljön. Resultatet i studien tolkas som att de flesta ställde sig positiva tillarbete hemifrån. Samtliga undersökta statiska samband angående denorganisatoriska, sociala och fysiska arbetsmiljön visade på signifikantakorrelationer (korrelationsvärdena låg mellan 0,387–0,754). Dessa resultatvisade att en väl fungerande digital plattform är en förutsättning för godkommunikation, att ostört arbete påverkar upplevelsen av koncentration, attproduktiviteten påverkades av att sitta ostört, att arbetstillfredsställelsenpåverkades av stödet från ledningen, att uppfattning av sin arbetsställningpåverkade värk och besvär i kroppen och att vad de ansåg om den fysiskaarbetsmiljön gällande bord och stol har betydelse. Både i enkätsvaren och iintervjuerna var de flesta positiva gällande arbete hemifrån. Myndigheter bör taställning till hur de ska ställa sig till att de anställda utför arbete hemifrån ävenefter att samhället fått bättre kontroll på Covid-19 pandemin. Den här studienhar genererat ny kunskap som kan förändra eventuella ställningstagandetgällande arbete hemifrån för anställda på myndigheter. / When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, many organizations had to adapt to new waysof working. For many, this meant that the work previously done in offices wasnow allowed to move home instead. This meant a major change, not least forauthorities that had not been able to carry out their work from home before. Theaim with the study was to investigate positive and negative effects in the workenvironment during a transition from office work to work from home.Authorities and other organizations may benefit from this new knowledge inanticipating risk factors and preventing them. A case study was conducted on aunit of an authority in a larger city in Sweden. A questionnaire was sent out tothe unit and two in-depth interviews were conducted. The results presentconnections that have emerged in the organizational and social workenvironment as well as the physical work environment. The results of the studyare interpreted as saying that most people were positive about working fromhome. All static relationships investigated regarding the organizational, socialand physical working environment showed significant correlations (correlationvalues ranged from 0.387-0.754). These results showed that a well-functioningdigital platform is a prerequisite for good communication, that undisturbed workaffects the experience of concentration, that productivity was affected by sittingundisturbed, that job satisfaction was affected by the support of management,that perception of their working position affected pain and discomfort in thebody and that what they thought about the physical work environment regardingtables and chair matters. Both the answers in the survey and in the interviewsturned out to be positive. All the relationships regarding the organizational andsocial work environment showed correlation that was significant. Also, all therelationships regarding the physical work environment showed correlation thatwas significant. Since the study showed such positive results, authorities shouldconsider about how to approach employees doing work from home even aftersociety has gained better control of the Covid-19 pandemic. This study hasgenerated new knowledge that can change any position regarding work fromhome for employees at authorities.
