Examensarbetet syftar till att bidra med kunskap kring vilka framgångsfaktorer och hinder det kan finnas vid utvecklingsprojekt i skolor och hur resultatet av ett projekt kan upplevas av pedagogerna. Syftet är även att undersöka på vilket sätt specialpedagogerna varit delaktiga i utvecklingsprojektet. Vid utvecklingsarbete i skolan är det bland annat viktigt med ett fungerande systematiskt kvalitetsarbete som grund för utvecklandet av verksamheten. Rektors roll och ledarskap har stor betydelse liksom hur man i utvecklingsarbete tar sin utgångspunkt i den dagliga verksamheten. Annat som kan vara av vikt är till exempel kontinuitet, vilka normer och värderingar som råder på skolorna samt om specialpedagogen har en roll i arbetet. Vi har undersökt ett befintligt projekt som bedrevs i sju skolor i en svensk stad under ett läsår. På fyra av skolorna har vi gjort kvalitativa undersökningar genom intervjuer med pedagoger och specialpedagoger. Vi använde oss av chatintervjuer genom delade dokument i Google Drive. Lärande i organisationer inom organisationsteorin och den institutionella teorin användes för att analysera vårt resultat. Resultatet visar att det fanns många hinder som gjorde projektet mindre lyckat. Till exempel var målen otydliga, pedagoger kände en brist på ledarskap, rektorer slutade, dåliga organisatoriska förutsättningar och svag koppling till verksamheternas vardagsarbete. Målen för projektet nåddes ej och det arbete som sattes igång avstannade på samtliga skolor. Specialpedagogerna var inte delaktiga i arbetet med projektet. En slutsats är att skolan är en komplex verksamhet och varje skola har olika förutsättningar, både organisatoriskt och gällande värderingar och normer. Detta påverkar arbetet i skolan och måste tas hänsyn till vid utvecklingsarbeten. / The purpose of our study is to contribute with knowledge about factors that can hinder and promote developing projects in schools and how the teachers can experience results of a specific project. Our purpose is also to study the participation of special educational needs coordinator, SENCO, in this specific project. When we want to develop our schools it is important to have a systematic circle of analysis and evaluation. The role and leadership of the principal is of great importance as well as how well the developing project is founded in the daily activities of the school. Key factors can also be continuity, norms and values as well as to what degree the SENCO is involved. Our study is of an existing project that were carried out in seven schools in a Swedish city during one year. We have made qualitative studies in four of the schools through interviews with teachers and SENCOs. We used chatinterviews with a shared document in Google Drive. Learning organization in Organization theory and Institutional theory were used to analyze our results. Our results shows that the project were not very successful due to many hindrances. The objectives of the project were for example not explicit, there were lack of leadership, some of the principals ended their jobs, the organizational structures for the teachers were unsatisfying and there were weak correspondence with the daily work of the schools. The objectives for the project were not met and the work that were launched in the beginning of the year stopped after one year in all of the studied schools. The SENCOs did not participate in the project. Our conclusion is that every specific school has its own organizational foundation as well as its own set of values and norms. This has to be taken in consideration when we want to make changes and work with developing projects.

samband med att den studerade myndigheten genomgick enomorganisation där organisationsstrukturen förändrades och styrochledningsfilosofin tog en ny riktning påbörjades resan mot attbli en ”lärande organisation”. Som ett led i förändringsarbetetimplementerades en ny arbetsmetod; reflektion i vardagen (RÌV).RIV syftar till att utveckla medarbetarna i deras yrkesroll, till ökadkunskapsöverföring, att väcka den medarbetardrivna innovationenoch bidra till utveckling av den lärande organisationen. Denhermaneutiska spiralen har genomsyrat studien som har enabduktiv ansats och en mixad undersökningsdesign. Studiens syfteär att undersöka om RIV har bidragit till yrkesmässig utvecklingför medarbetarna samt hur RIV bidragit till den lärandeorganisationen. Material har inhämtats via en enkätundersökningsamt tre intervjuer med chefer från en myndighet inom offentligsektor. Kvalitativa data har strukturerats och tolkats medsläktskapsdiagram. Resultatet tyder på att RIV har positivpåverkan på yrkesmässig utveckling och bidrar till den lärandeorganisationen, men inga generella slutsatser kan dras frånstudien. Det finns hinder och motstånd som måste identifieras ochelimineras innan RIV ger större effekt. För att öka förståelsen ochintresset för yrkesrelaterad reflektion föreslår författaren attorganisationer börjar med att se över om medarbetarnas basbehovär tillfredsställda, att verka för ett ökat engagerat ledarskap samtsatsningar på utbildning till medarbetarna. / In connection with a state organization undergoing areorganisation in which the organisational structure was changedand the governance- and management philosophy took a newdirection, the journey to become a “learning organisation” started.As part of the organisation´s work with improvements, a newmethod was implemented; refection in everyday life (RIV). RIVaims to develop the employees in their professional role, increaseknowledge transfer, awaken the power of innovation fromemployees and contribute to the development of the learningorganisation. The hermeneutical spiral has permeated the studywhich has an abductive approach and a mixed design. The purposeof the study is to investigate whether RIV has contributed toprofessional development for the employees and whether RIV hasserved as a contribution to the learning organisation. Data havebeen obtained through a quantitative / qualitative survey andthrough three qualitative interviews with managers. The resultshows that RIV has a positive impact on employees´ professionaldevelopment and that RIV contributes to the learning organisation.However, there are obstacles that must be crossed and resistancesthat must be dealt with before RIV gives greater effect. The author8. Handledare9. Examinator10. Termin11. Övrigt/Anmärkningbelieves that organisations need to identify and satisfy basic needsof the employees before they are invited to engage in organisationaldevelopment and improvement. The organisational structure needsto be explained so it´s clear to all employees, including managers,where, in the organisation, improvements are relevant. Engagedleadership needs to be strengthened and education efforts needs tobe implemented to make both managers and employees understandthe purpose, value and benefits of reflective conversations in thelearning organisation. / <p>2020-11-26</p>

Komplexitet och flexibilitet är två faktorer som präglar dagens arbetsplatser, gamla etablerade mönster ersätts med nya och ständigt föränderliga organisations - och anställningsformer. Arbetet är en essentiell del av individens tillvaro som bidrar till inkomsttrygghet såväl som social samhörighet och känsla av identitet. Likaså som förändringar utmanar organisationers och anställdas trygghet skapas också möjlighet för nya infallsvinklar samt strukturella åtgärder. För att hantera dessa förutsättningar är det betydelsefullt att identifiera de områden som lägger grund och främjar arbetsplatsens hållbarhet. Syftet med studien var att utifrån en hälsofrämjande ansats analysera och beskriva medarbetares upplevelser av lärande inom organisationen, samt identifiera faktorer som skapar en hållbar och attraktiv arbetsplats. Den teoretiska referensramen består av teorierna; Senges fem discipliner, Empowerment och WHO- modellen Healthy Workplace. Studien utgår ifrån ett hermeneutiskt förhållningssätt och en abduktiv ansats. Empirin har samlats in genom åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer och analyserades genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys som resulterade i två huvudkategorier och sex subkategorier. Resultatet redogör för hälsofrämjande faktorer i form av ett starkt medarbetarskap som utgörs av en trygg och stabil arbetsmiljö där sammanhållningen stärker både den inre- och yttre kvaliteten. Kompetensutveckling sker formellt som informellt, där arbetsplatslärande som sker mellan medarbetare lyfts fram som mest framträdande. Det förutsätter vidare en öppen dialog, struktur och ett positivt arbetsklimat. Slutligen visade studiens fynd att medarbetarskapet är kärnan i att utveckla starka attraktionsattribut och är avgörande för vad som håller medarbetarna kvar på arbetsplatsen. Vidare konstaterades att ledarskapet ger förutsättningar för att medarbetare tillsammans arbetar i hållbart samt trivsamt arbetsklimat, med fokus på medarbetarnas välmående och arbetstillfredsställelse. / Complexity and flexibility are two factors that characterize today's labor market; old established patterns are replaced with new and ever-changing forms of organization and employment. Work is an essential part of the individual's existence that consists of income security as well as social affiliation and sense of identity. Just as changes challenge the security of organizations and employees, opportunities for new approaches and structural measures are also created. In order to deal with these conditions, it is important to identify the areas that lay the groundwork and promote the sustainability of the workplace. The aim of the study was to analyze and describe employees' experiences of learning within the organization, as well as identify factors that create a sustainable and attractive workplace based on a health promotion approach. The theoretical frame consists of the theories; Senge's five disciplines, Empowerment and WHO- model Healthy Workplace. The study is based on a hermeneutic and abductive approach. The empirical data was collected through eight semi-structured interviews and analyzed through a qualitative content analysis that resulted in two main categories and six subcategories. The result showed that health-promoting factors in form of a strong co-workership that consists of a safe and stable work environment where good companionship strengthens both the internal and external quality. Competence development takes place formally as informally, where workplace learning that occurs between employees is highlighted as most prominent. It also requires an open dialogue, structure and a positive working climate. Finally, the study's findings demonstrate that the co-workership is the core of developing strong attraction attributes and is crucial to what keeps employees in the workplace. Furthermore, it was found that the leadership provides the conditions for employees to work together in a sustainable and pleasant working climate, focusing on the employees' well-being and job satisfaction.

In a fast-paced and knowledge driven IT industry companies are increasingly becoming interested in making use of acquired knowledge and becoming "learning organizations". To achieve that, some managers have taken an interest in incorporating communities of practice in their knowledge management strategy. However, these are often much more formal and structured than what the original concept entailed. This study looks at enabling factors for learning through formalized communities of practice, as well as prominent perspectives on knowledge and learning in a large IT organization. A qualitative case study using mixed methods was conducted at Scania IT. Three enabling factors for learning through formalized communities of practice were discovered. These were; having a clear and common objective, obtaining resources to achieve that objective, and being inclusive. Furthermore, some tensions that affect how a formalized community of practice can position their scope were discovered. Many perspectives on knowledge and learning could also be found in the studied organization. However, when it came to the knowledge a skilled developer should have, pragmatism became very prominent. / en snabb och kunskapsdriven IT-industri blir företag mer och mer intresserade av att återanvända förvärvad kunskap och bli "lärande organisationer". För att uppnå detta har en del chefer blivit intresserade av att inkorporera "communities of practice" (sv. nätverk) i företages kunskapsstyrningsstrategi. Dessa grupper blir dock ofta mycket mer formella och strukturerade än vad som avsågs i originalkonceptet. Denna studie tittar på främjande faktorer för formaliserade nätverk samt framträdande perspektiv för kunskap och lärande i en större IT-organisation. En kvalitativ fallstudie genomfördes genom blandade metoder på Scania IT. Tre främjande faktorer hittades för lärande genom formaliserade nätverk. Dessa var att ha ett tydligt och gemensamt mål, att få resurser för att kunna uppnå det målet och att vara inkluderande. Vidare hittades ett antal spänningsförhållanden som påverkar hur det formaliserade nätverket kan positionera sitt syfte. Många perspektiv på kunskap och lärande hittades också i den studerade organisationen, men när det gällde den kunskap en skicklig utvecklare förväntades ha blev pragmatismen mycket framträdande.

För att organisationer ska få tillgång till olika kunskaper, perspektiv och idéer är det nödvändigt för organisationer att välkomna människor från olika bakgrund och med olika erfarenheter till organisationen och dess processer. Därför har många organisationer implementerat ett förändringsarbete för mångfald och inkludering. Syftet med studien är att studera hur förändringsledning för mångfald och inkludering kan dra nytta av att undersöka både organisationskultur och lärandesituationer som ämnar sprida kunskap och skapa medvetenhet om mångfald och inkludering bland medarbetare. Studien utgörs av två undersökningar i en teknikutvecklande organisation. Den ena undersöker hur en organisationskultur är mer eller mindre inkluderande för olika medarbetade i organisationen. En tematisk analys av fritextsvar från en medarbetarundersökning används. Resultatet visar aspekter och mönster i organisationskulturen och urskiljer processer som är mer eller mindre inkluderade för vissa medarbetare. Den andra undersökningen undersöker en lärandesituation som har till syfte att sprida kunskap och skapa medvetenhet om mångfald och inkludering bland medarbetare. Genom en analys synliggörs vilket kunskapsinnehåll som framförs. Kunskapsinnehållet kommer påverka lärandets potential för att förändra en organisationskultur. Hur kunskapsinnehållet kan utformas för mer ändamålsenligt förändringsarbete analyseras. En diskussion om hur lärande kan påverka organisationskulturen lyfter vikten av kollektiv kunskap och gemensam förståelse om strukturella ojämlikheter i organisationen. / For organizations to harvest different knowledge, perspectives and ideas, it is essential for organizations to welcome people from different backgrounds and with different experiences to the organization and into organizational processes. Therefore, many organizations have implemented a change management for diversity and inclusion. The purpose of this study is to develop support for how change management for diversity and inclusion can benefit from an examination of both an organizational culture and a learning praxis that aim to develop knowledge and awareness of diversity and inclusion. The study provides two examinations in an organization of technical development. One investigate how an organizational culture can be inclusive or exclusive for different employees within the organization. Both a theoretical and an empirical thematic analysis of free text answers from an employee survey are used. The result shows aspects and patterns of organizational culture and distinguish processes that are inclusive or exclusive for different employees. The other examination evaluates a learning situation that aims to develop knowledge and awareness of diversity and inclusion among employees. Through an analysis, the content of the learning situation is shown. The content will affect the potential to change the organizational culture. How knowledge content can be designed for more appropriate change management is analysed. A discussion of how learning can change organizational culture, highlights the importance of collective awareness and of mutual understanding of structural inequality in organizations.

It is of vital importance never to forget that the world is ever changing. Therefore, it is crucialfor organizations not to only alter but also to improve their performance in order to becomemore competitive on the market. One way of achieving this is to work with continuousimprovements. However, this requires that the employees receive the needed training for thispurpose. In multinational corporations they must also all receive the same training in order tocreate a common culture throughout the whole organization. This study therefore aims toinvestigate how a multinational corporation can organize an Improvement ManagementTraining. Which are the main areas that are desirable to have knowledge in when leading animprovement work? In order to identify the areas of interest, a case study has been performedat Ericsson Supply Site Borås. The investigation was conducted as a combination of aqualitative and a semiquantitative study in order to determinate the empirical data. The resultsrevealed that the following five major areas are essential for an Improvement ManagementTraining: Leadership, Lean¸ Organizational Behavior, Project Management and StrategicManagement. / Program: Bachelor of Science with a Major in Industrial Engineering – Work Organization and Leadership
