This thesis examines the approach to addressing climate issues in construction sites, focusing on the Pålsjöäng project in Helsingborg, which has a strong climate focus. The study aims to establish how work with a lowered climate impact is being integrated into construction practices, using the project as an example of active efforts towards low carbon footprint. Structured interviews with various professionals working in the project provide empirical data that is analyzed and compared with the theoretical framework, highlighting what distinguishes Pålsjöäng from traditional construction practices. Results indicate that the construction industry is breaking out of traditional practices and routines and emphasizes the significance of experience feedback in developing solutions for upcoming challenges. The report stresses the responsibility of leading industry players in guiding the construction industry towards low carbon practices and setting expectations from the beginning of the procurement process to facilitate meaningful change. Overall, the report provides insights and lessons learned on how work with sustainability issues in construction sites occurs, and how active progress can be made to reduce carbon footprint. Key concepts identified; sustainable development construction, implementation construction, knowledge transfer construction, and contract impact construction.

The purpose of this study was to examine how the psychological contract relates to the intention to quit the employment (ITQ) of professional primary school teachers. In addition to this, the purpose was to examine which form of contract in the psychological contract that most strongly predicts ITQ. A quantitative study was conducted, of which a digital survey was distributed via email to principals and/- or deputy principals for 312 municipal schools in Sweden and was shared on the social platform Meta as well. The survey was based on The Psychological Contract Inventory (PCI) by Rousseau and the Turnover Intention Scale - 6 items (TIS-6) by Roodt. The data collection generated 80 questionnaire responses which were then used for analysis through a hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The results showed that all four forms of contracts: transactional, relational, balanced and transitional contracts explained a larger part of the variance in ITQ. The balanced contract and the transitional contract were significant predictors of which the transactional contract and relational contract were not significant. The transitional contract predicted ITQ to the highest degree.

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur det psykologiska kontraktet relaterar till arbetsengagemang hos anställda med flexibla anställningsvillkor. En kvantitativ studie genomfördes varav en digital enkät skickades ut på sociala medier. Enkäten baserades på mätverktygen The Psychological Contract Inventory (PCI) och Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9). Datainsamlingen genererade 101 enkätsvar som analyserades genom en hierarkisk multipel regressionsanalys samt genom Person’s korrelationsanalys. Resultatet visade att tre av kontraktsformerna i det psykologiska kontraktet (det relationella kontraktet, det balanserade kontraktet och övergångskontraktet) och även ålder förklarade en signifikant del av variansen av arbetsengagemang. Analysen visade även att det relationella kontraktet predicerade arbetsengagemang i högst grad. / The purpose of this study was to examine how the psychological contract relates to work engagement among employees with flexible employment conditions. A quantitative study was conducted, and a digital survey was distributed on social media. The survey was based on the measurement tools The Psychological Contract Inventory (PCI) and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9). The data collection generated 101 questionnaire responses, which were analyzed through hierarchical multiple regression analysis and Person's correlation analysis. The results showed that three of the contract forms in the psychological contract (the relational contract, the balanced contract, and the transitional contract), as well as age, explained a larger part of the variance in work engagement. The analysis also showed that the relational contract predicted work engagement to the highest degree.
