En ostädad arbetsplats kan medföra arbetsmiljörisker, ett ökat antal besiktningsanmärkningar, sänka produktiviteten samt ge ett sämre arbetsklimat där medarbetarna inte trivs. Det är även en rättighet att vistas i en arbetsmiljö som inte medför en risk för varken fysisk eller psykisk ohälsa.Syftet med denna studie är att skapa en förståelse för vad som motiverar individen individuellt samt tillsammans i en grupp att hålla en god ordning och möjligheten att påverka detta. Studien behandlar människors beteende i grupp och individuellt, målbildens inverkan på individen och praktiska hjälpmedel för att uppnå en god och städad arbetsmiljö. Med praktiska hjälpmedel avses i detta fall arbetsplatsdispositionsplan, tillbudsrapportering, rutiner samt ett instrument kallat Interpersonal Dynamics Inventory. Instrumentet identifierar människors personlighetstyp och vad som motiverar denne genom att mäta ett beteende.För att undersöka frågan gjordes en omfattande litteraturstudie samt platsbesök och samtal med platscheferna på fyra olika projekt. Dessa har alltid strävat efter att uppnå ordning och reda på arbetsplatsen.Resultaten baseras på de samtal som fördes med inriktning på arbetsmiljö och städning. Under samtalen fick respondenterna bland annat bedöma fem olika bilder som skulle representera olika grader av städade miljöer. Detta visar att människors uppfattning kring hur en städad miljö skall se ut kan skilja sig. Att skapa en gemensam målbild och skapa en norm där alla är eniga om vad som eftersträvas är därför ett önskemål för att undanröja meningsskiljaktigheter. / An untidy workplace can lead to enhanced safety risks in the work environment, an increased number of inspection remarks, lower productivity, ultimately—an insufficient work environment where employees do not feel comfortable. It is also a human right to reside in an environment that does not pose a risk to neither physical nor mental illness.The purpose of this study is to create an understanding of what motivates the individual to keep good order on the workplace, on an individual basis, as well as in a group setting. The study deals with the behavior of people, in groups, and individually—along with the objective’s impact on the individual and the practical means to achieve a good and tidy work environment. The practical aids referred to in this study are the workplace disposition plan, the incident reporting, the procedures, and a tool named Interpersonal Dynamics Inventory. This tool identifies people's personality, and what motivates individuals to participate in a behavior that addresses the maintaining of a tidy work environment.To investigate the issue, a comprehensive literature study, site visits, and discussions with site managers on four different projects has been done. These projects were deemed successful regarding the matter of maintaining a good and tidy work environment.The results are based on conversations held with a focus on working environment and the cleaning thereof. During the conversations, the respondents got to assess five pictures of different working environments—each perception of a tidy work environment was different. This shows that people's perception of what a tidy environment should look like may differ. To create a common vision and create a standard where all agree on what is sought for is therefore to be desired in order to eliminate disagreements.

Much has been written in recent years about the role of landownership in British society and, particularly, in structuring the social relations of 'rural' areas. There has also been a growing interest in the way social processes are 'patterned' geographically and are themselves shaped by contingent spatial circumstances. This thesis has two basic aims First, to examine the changing role of landownership - specifically, the relationship between capital and land - in the processes of economic restructuring in three economic sectors: agriculture, housebuilding and manufacturing. Second, to evaluate marxist rent theory as an explanatory tool for understanding the capital-land relationship, and draw some conclusions on the extent to which this theory can be operationalised. Finally, we will consider whether the capital-land relation imparts a unique stamp on the social processes effective in one specific location, a stamp which gives it a distinctiveness as a 'locality'. Landownership is therefore used as a way of examining the links between spatial relations and social processes, of probing the relationship between 'general' changes at the level of the British nation state and changes in one concrete location. The thesis takes as its case study a parish in West Suffolk and considers the way the capital-land relation has changed since the mid-nineteenth century, continually drawing on an analysis of the changes in Britain as a whole. Conclusions are drawn on the utility of rent theory, on the nature of 'locality' and on the role of landownership in structuring the social relations of contemporary 'rural' areas.
