This paper concerns the subject of temporary employments and how the employment status affects the personal life of the employee. The aspects of the personal life which are being investigated is the employees possibilities to plan their long term future as well as their short term future. Furthermore, the employees social relations and spare time are being investigated. The paper is qualitative and is based on semi-structured interviews with four people between the age of 25 and 35 who are experienced with temporary employment. The results of the interviews are analyzed in light of Richard Sennetts theory about ”The corrosion of character”, which shows upon a contradiction between the character-building and today's job market. The conclusions are that the employees possibilities concerning long term planning, as well as short term planning, is aggravated by their temporary employment status. Their spare time seems to become less extensive and the time devoted to the social relationships decreases. However, we can not draw any conclusions on the social relations patterns affected at a deeper level. / Denna uppsats berör ämnet tidsbegränsade anställningar och hur anställningsformen påverkar den anställdes privatliv. De aspekter av privatlivet som undersöks är den anställdes möjligheter till lång- samt kortsiktig planering och sociala relationer samt fritid. Studien är kvalitativ och resultatet bygger på semistrukturerade intervjuer med fyra personer mellan 25 år och 35 år vilka alla har erfarenhet av tidsbegränsade anställningsformer. Resultatet från intervjuerna analyseras i ljuset av Richard Sennetts teori ”När karaktären krackelerar”, som visar på en motsättning mellan mänskligt karaktärsbyggande och dagens arbetsliv. Slutsatserna som dras är att den långsiktiga och kortsiktiga planeringen försvåras av den tidsbegränsade anställningsformen. Fritiden blir mindre omfattande och de sociala relationerna ägnas det mindre tid åt; dock kan vi inte uttala oss om de sociala relationernas mönster påverkats på ett djupare plan.

The purpose of this degree project is to investigate in what types of situations and to what extent some upper secondary students write in English in their spare time, what reasons they have for doing so and what text types and genres are represented in their writing. Qualitative interviews were carried out with a group of six students in year two in an upper secondary school in the southern part of Sweden, three with MVG as a final grade and three with VG as a final grade in English A.The results show that all of the students write in English each day in instant text messages on MSN messenger. However, they mostly use English in the form of abbreviations, single words, phrases and sentences. Longer pieces of text, like poems and other literary pieces, written in English were created only by the three students with MVG.

The rapid digital development has transformed our lives, and today we can work in new ways compared to before. With an increased demand for flexible work arrangements, where the home serves as a workplace, it is crucial for companies to understand how this affects the well-being of employees. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine how the possibility of work flexibility promotes individuals well-being. Previous research points out several factors that can influence well-being during remote work, including the work environment, the balance between work and private life, and interaction. The theoretical framework of the study is primarily based on Karasek and Theorell's demand-control-support model (1990), but in specific sections, support will also be drawn from studies by Kangas et al. (2023) and Espersson et al. (2023) using the concepts of Family-supportive supervisor behaviors and urholkade sociala relationer. The study is based on qualitative interviews conducted with employees in various units at Västerås municipality who work part-time at the physical workplace and part-time remotely. The results show that remote work is significant, especially for employees work-life balance, which positively impacts their well-being. What is really important for well-being is the ability to manage and plan worktasks on your own, no matter where you're working. / Den snabba digitala utvecklingen har förändrat våra liv och idag kan vi arbeta på nya sätt jämfört med tidigare. Med en ökad efterfrågan på flexibelt arbete med hemmet som arbetsplats, är det viktigt att företag är insatta i hur detta påverkar medarbetarnas välbefinnande. Syftet med studien är därför att undersöka hur möjligheten till arbetsflexibilitet främjar individers välbefinnande. Tidigare forskning visar på flera faktorer som kan påverka välbefinnandet under distansarbete, såsom arbetsmiljön, balansen mellan arbete och privatliv samt interaktionen. Studiens teoretiska ramverk utgår huvudsakligen från Karasek och Theorells krav-kontroll-stödmodell (1990), men i särskilda avsnitt kommer även stöd tas från studier av Kangas m.fl. (2023) och Espersson m.fl. (2023) med begreppen Family-supportive supervisor behaviors och Urholkade sociala relationer. Studien baseras på kvalitativa intervjuer som genomförts med medarbetare inom olika enheter på Västerås kommun som arbetar halvtid på den fysiska arbetsplatsen och halvtid på distans. Resultatet visar att distansarbete är betydelsefullt, speciellt för medarbetarnas livspussel, vilket har en positiv inverkar på deras välbefinnande. Det som framkommer som avgörande för välbefinnandet är förmågan att självständigt styra och planera arbetsuppgifterna, oavsett platsen för arbetet.

The rapid development of new technologies and how these are affecting school age children is in this day and age an area of growing importance. In the context of second language (L2) acquisition, it has been noted that spare time activities of a digital nature impact those pupils who spend more time on activities such as online gaming in the target language than average (Sundqvist 2019, 95-103). The aim of the current study was to investigate the possible effect three different digital spare time activities (computer and video games, movies and music) have on listening comprehension. This when English is the dominant language in the activities, and the focus is on 6th grade children. The method used was a comparison made between a language diary homework, consisting of the participants’ estimated number of hours spent on digital spare time activities, and the results of a listening exercise. The results show that there is a positive correlation between the results of the listening comprehension test and the number of hours spent on digital spare time activities. Also, repeated exposure to the target language in a digital spare time context does, therefore, affect second language acquisition to a limited extent. The conclusion was that in order to come to a more conclusive answer regarding the correlation between digital spare time activities and English listening comprehension, more research is needed. / I samband med andraspråksinlärning har det noterats att digitala fritidsaktiviteter påverkar de elever som spenderar mer tid på denna sorts aktiviteter (Sundqvist 2019, 95–103). Syftet med den aktuella undersökningen blev således att undersöka den möjliga effekt digitala fritidsaktiviteter, på engelska, har på just engelsk hörförståelse. De tre utvalda aktiviteterna är här digitala spel, film och musik. Engelska är alltså målspråket och fokusgruppen är sjätteklassare. Metoden som användes var en jämförelse mellan resultaten av en språkdagbok, bestående av det antal timmar som deltagarna angett att de spenderar på digitala fritidsaktiviteter under en genomsnittlig vecka, samt resultat inhämtade från en hörövning. Resultatet visar att det finns en positiv korrelation mellan resultaten på hörförståelsetestet och antalet timmar som spenderas på digitala fritidsaktiviteter. Vidare visade det sig att upprepad exponering för målspråket i ett digitalt sammanhang påverkar andraspråksinlärning i en begränsad utsträckning. Slutsatsen blev därmed att det krävs mer forskning för att komma fram till ett definitivt svar angående sambandet mellan digitala fritidsaktiviteter och engelsk hörförståelse.
