In today's workplace there are many reasons why businesses are encouraging their workforce to dress in a more casual manner. Personnel within the workforce who dress casually report improvements ranging from morale to customer relations after the implementation of more relaxed dress codes. It will also be necessary to consider whether or not business casual dress facilitates the tearing down of social and communication barriers.

Background: MRI- safety education is an important aspect from a work environment perspective and patient perspective, to avoid harmful and deadly accidents. Aim: The aim of the study was at two hospitals investigate if the radiographers feels that the MRI safety education is enough to work safe in MRI environment. The study’s aim was also to investigate in what form MRI-safety is preformed and see if there is a difference between hospital A and B. The study was addressed to radiographers who works with MRI and radiographers who works with other modalities. This study also investigates if radiographers knows about guidelines for other staff who works regularly at MRI and if the radiographers feel that this education is enough. Method: The study is an empirical quantitative inquiry study with qualitative analysis. The inquiry was own constructed to answer the study´s aims. Forty radiographers from two hospitals ware included. Results: The results showed 53% of the participants have not attended any education about MRI-safety through their current employer. 65 % of the participants who attended education claimed the education was enough for them to work in a MRI-safe way. 52% of the participants experience that other workmen’s/clinicians don’t have enough education to create an MRI safe environment. A significant different in form of education was found in web education that were more frequent at hospital B. Conclusion: The results shows that majority of the participant haven’t had any safety education from their current employer. However, the ones who did found it to be enough to work in an MRI-safe way. The participants comments showed that MR-safety education always a current subject in need of repetition and development. / Bakgrund: Magnetisk Resonanstomografi (MR)- säkerhetsutbildning är en viktig aspekt ur både arbetsmiljösynpunkt och ur patientperspektiv för att undvika skadliga och dödliga olyckor. Syfte: Studien syftade till att på två sjukhus undersöka om röntgensjuksköterskorna upplever att utbildningen är tillräcklig för att arbeta säkert i MR-miljö. Studien syftade också till att undersöka på vilket sätt säkerhetsutbildning inom MR sker samt jämföra skillnaden mellan sjukhus A och B. Studien riktade sig till röntgensjuksköterskor som arbetar med MR, samt övriga röntgensjuksköterskor på röntgenavdelningen. I studien undersöktes även om röntgensjuksköterskorna känner till om det finns riktlinjer för annan personal/sjukvårdspersonal som vistas i MR-miljö samt om röntgensjuksköterskan upplever den utbildningen som tillräcklig. Metod: En empirisk kvantitativ enkätstudie med inslag av kvalitativ analys. Enkätfrågorna egenkonstruerades för att besvara studiens syften. Fyrtio röntgensjuksköterskor från två sjukhus inkluderades. Resultat: Resultatet visade att 53% av deltagarna inte genomgått någon MR-säkerhetsutbildning via nuvarande arbetsgivare. Av deltagarna som hade genomgått en sådan utbildning uppgav 65% att den var tillräcklig för att arbeta MR-säkert. I studien upplevde 52% att övrig personal/sjukvårdspersonal inte var tillräckligt utbildad för att skapa en säker MR-miljö. En signifikant skillnad mellan sjukhusen visades vid utbildningsform webbutbildning som var mer förekommande på sjukhus B.  Slutsats: Resultatet av studien visade att majoriteten av deltagarna inte hade genomgått någon MR-säkerhetsutbildning via nuvarande arbetsgivare, däremot upplevde de som hade gjort det att utbildningen var tillräcklig för att kunna arbeta MR-säkert. Deltagarnas egna synpunkter visar att MR-säkerhetsutbildning är något som ständigt är aktuellt och alltid behöver upprepas samt uppdateras.

I en studie från 2018 visade Arbetsmiljöverket att 28 % av Sveriges aktiva arbetstagare har upplevt någon form av arbetsrelaterade besvär. Att arbeta med arbetsmiljön och dess utveckling är chefernas ansvar i en organisation. Syftet med följande studie är att undersöka kommunala enhetschefers upplevelse av att arbeta med utvecklingen av arbetsmiljön inom sin verksamhet. För att undersöka vårt syfte utgick vi från följande frågeställning: Vilka möjligheter och utmaningar upplever chefer sig ha med utvecklingen av arbetsmiljön? Tio intervjuer med enhetschefer inom olika sektorer i en kommun genomfördes för att besvara frågeställningen. En tematisk analys tillämpades på det insamlade materialet och presenterades i fyra övergripande teman. Resultatet visar att enhetscheferna upplever utvecklingen av arbetsmiljön som viktigt, men också med flera utmaningar. Dessa försvårade utvecklingsarbetet och uppstod när enhetschefernas processer inte var synkroniserade med den övriga organisationen. Det var även utmanande att arbeta med den psykosociala arbetsmiljön på individnivå då varje ärende krävde en separat process. Det som möjliggjorde för ett framgångsrikt utvecklingsarbete var när medarbetarna var engagerade och delaktiga i processen samt att ett välfungerande stöd från HR-avdelningen fanns att tillgå. Studien visade att trots att cheferna upplever begränsningar i sitt arbete gör deras personliga engagemang i frågorna att de ändå arbetar med dem kontinuerligt. / In a 2018 study, the Swedish Work Environment Authority found that 28% of active workers in Sweden experienced some form of work-related problem. Managers in an organization are responsible for maintaining and developing the work environment. The present study aims to investigate municipal operation managers' perception of the process of work environment development in their operations. We asked the following question to examine managers' perceptions: What opportunities and challenges do managers encounter in the development of the work environment? Ten interviews were conducted with department managers in various sectors of a municipality to investigate our question. A thematic analysis performed on the data revealed four overall themes. The results demonstrate that department managers perceive the development of work environment to be important but challenging. Challenges to the development of work environment arose when managers' priorities were out of sync with those of the rest of the organization. It was also difficult to manage the psychosocial work environment, as individuals each required unique interventions. Successful work environment development occurred when employees were engaged and involved in the process and had pertinent support from the human resources office. The present study demonstrates that although managers experience limitations in maintaining and developing work environment, their personal commitment to the task allows them to work towards continuous improvement.

Though counselor education has always acknowledged the importance of work in the lives of individuals, there is a dearth of information concerning the worklives of counselor education faculty. The purpose of this study was to explore work and life variables that impact the work experiences of faculty members in counselor education. This study examined demographic or life variables including gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, relationship status, and parenting status; and work-related variables including rank, sexual harassment, gender discrimination, salary equity, mentoring, teaching activities, service activities, publication for collaboration, and decision-making representation. Three hundred and twenty-eight counselor education faculty members across the United States participated in the study. Participants completed a mailed questionnaire including demographic information, quantitative survey questions, and related qualitative items designed to investigate work and life factors impacting the subjective work experiences of counselor educators. Chi-square analyses and analysis of qualitative responses related to four research hypotheses indicated that experience of the work environment for counselor educators is impacted by gender, tenure rank, age, and relationship status. Post-hoc analysis indicated that work experiences are also impacted by ethnicity, sexual orientation, and parenting status. Results also indicated a need for continuing attention to the effects of rank, salary equity, sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and decision-making representation in counselor education programs. Results of this study suggested implications for future research in counselor education and counseling.

Denna kvalitativa studie har till syfte att öka förståelsen kring tjänstemännens egen upplevelse om sin arbetsmiljö inom socialförvaltningen, och de möjliga risker som arbetsmiljön kan komma att innefatta. Studien genomfördes med semistrukturerade intervjuer som kom att tematiseras och presenteras i resultatet. Det resultat som framkommit i studien presenteras genom tre teman; Förväntning och verklighet, Samverkan samt Utveckling. Det finns delar som socialförvaltningens tjänstemän upplever vara påtagligare än andra, och det är de riskfaktorer som kom att belysas genom dessa teman. Riskfaktorerna som framkom var dock inte de som förväntades enligt forskningsgenomgången, utan det påvisades finnas större betydelse av de interna faktorerna (strukturer, handlingsplaner, samverkan med mera) än det tidigare förväntade externa faktorerna (möten med klienter, politiska beslut med mera). Detta gjorde att det finns ett större intresse för vad vidare forskning kan komma att finna utifrån förutsättningen av de inre påverkningarna hos socialförvaltningen. Den teori som studien använt sig för att tolka resultatet om framgång och ett hållbart arbetssätt för socialförvaltningens tjänstemän är det salutogena perspektivet samt arbetets förutsättning utifrån KASAM. / The purpose of this qualitative study is to increase the understanding of the employees' own experience of their work environment in the social administration, and the possible risks that the work environment may include. The study was conducted with semi-structured interviews that came to be thematized and presented in the results. The results obtained in the study are presented through three themes; Expectation and Reality, Collaboration and Development. There are parts that social service officials find to be more evident than others, and these are the risk factors that were highlighted through these themes. However, the risk factors that emerged were not those expected according to the research review, but the internal factors (structures, action plans, collaboration, etc.) were found to be more important than the previously expected external factors (meetings with clients, political decisions, etc.). This meant that there was a greater interest in what further research might find based on the assumption of the internal effects of social management. The theory that the study used to interpret the results of success and a sustainable way of working for social service officials is the salutogenic perspective and the work's premise based on KASAM.
