Uppsatsen syftade till att 1) öka förståelsen varför kvinnor lämnat rollen som chef och 2) om det fanns skillnader mot män som lämnat rollen som chef. Resultaten visade att kvinnor i lämnade pga. "push"-orsaker, dvs. att man ej var nöjd, medan männen lämnade pga. "pull"-orsaker, positivt motiverande faktorer. Studien visade också att de kvinnor som stannade kvar i rollen som chef gjorde det pga. "pull"-orsaker. Arbetet baserades på en intervjustudie av 16 personer under våren 2010. Slutsatsen var att kvinnor oftare trycktes ut ur chefsrollen genom missnöje, medan männen drogs ut ur chefsrollen genom att lockas vidare. / The thesis was aimed to 1) increase the understanding of why women left the role as a manager and 2) if there was any differences between them and the men who left the role as a manager. The results showed that women left because of push-factors, that they weren’t satisfied, whereas men left because of pull-factors, positively motivating factors. The study also showed that women who stayed in the role as a manger did so because of pull-factors. The study was based on interviews of 16 persons during spring 2010. The conclusion was that women more often were pushed out of the manager role because of discontent, whereas men were pulled out because of attraction to something else.

The aim of this study was to elucidate day surgery patients´ subjective experiences of postoperative pain after orthopedic and abdominal surgery and if there was any difference in the experience according to sex and age. Selection was not random and the study included 87 patients. Data were collected from patient questionnaires. VAS method was applied in the questionnaire to measure patients´ pain. The outcomes of the study show that there was no significant difference between women´s and men´s experiences of pain during days 1-7. It was found that patients undergoing orthopedic surgery had significantly more pain on day 7 compared to those patients who underwent abdominal surgery. There was a significant negative correlation between age and perceived pain on day 7. Patients in day surgery group had significantly less pain on day 7 compared with day 1. The patients who have undergone orthopedic surgery and younger patients had more pain on day 7 while the patients in day surgery group had a pain level decreased gradually and on day 7 was the lowest. It appears that pain relief on day 7 of younger patients and patients who have undergone orthopedic surgery is an area that can be improved.

Datum: 29 maj 2023 Nivå: Magisteruppsats i företagsekonomi, 15 hp Institution: Akademin för Ekonomi, Samhälle och Teknik, Mälardalens universitet Författare:   Sara Alhaj Khalifa     Danijella Matic     (1999/04/24)    (2000/05/10) Titel: Jämförelse av genusperspektivens legitimitet i redovisnings- och revisionsbranschen - En kvalitativ studie med fokus på kvinnans kompetens och maktskillnader Handledare: Dariusz Osowski  Nyckelord: Kompetens, maktskillnader, legitimitet, kön (kvinnor/ män), redovisning, revision &amp; kvotering  Frågeställningar:  Vilket inflytande har kompetens och maktskillnader på kvinnan i förhållande till hierarkiska uppgångar i karriären inom redovisnings- och revisionsbranschen?Vilka orsaker förklaras ligga till grund för kvinnans svårighet till en hierarkisk karriäruppgång? Vilka konsekvenser och påföljder kan upprättas utifall kvinnor inte kan nå ledande positioner i redovisning- och revisionsbranschen? Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka genusperspektiv, med kvinnans roll som utgångspunkt. Studien kommer dessutom att fokusera på legitimitetsfrågor med fokus på kompetens och maktskillnaders inflytande, för att studera kvinnors hinder, möjligheter och konsekvenser för att nå ledarpositioner inom redovisnings- och revisionsbranschen.       Metod: Studien utgår från en kvalitativ metodik med en abduktiv ansats. Den kvalitativa forskningsmetoden har insamlat primärdata genom semistrukturerade intervjuer.   Slutsats: Studien påvisar utifrån redovisning- och revisionsbranschen att kompetens har ett positivt inflytande inom båda professionerna, samtidigt utgör maktskillnader större inflytande inom revisionsbranschen, medan redovisningsbranschen samtidigt påvisades ha större utrymme för kvinnor att nå hierarkisk framgång. Studien påvisar även påföljder i form av förlorad dynamik och kvotering, som dock kan medföra både minskad kompetens på arbetsplatsen samt avsättning av kvinnan alternativt en värdeminskning av kvinnans kompetenser. Slutligen anses moderskap som är en biologisk faktor vara en av de främsta anledningarna till svårigheter för kvinnans hierarkiska uppgång, följaktligen är den andra betonade svårigheten att organisationer influeras av tidigare normer och föråldrade organisationskulturer. / Date: 29th May 2023 Level: Master thesis in business administration, 15 cr Institution: Academy of Economics, Society and Technology, Mälardalen University Authors:   Sara Alhaj Khalifa     Danijella Matic     (1999/04/24)    (2000/05/10) Title: Comparison of the legitimacy of the gender perspective in the accounting and auditing industry - A qualitative study with a focus on women's competence and power differences Supervisor: Dariusz Osowski  Keywords: Competence, power differences, legitimacy, gender (women/men), accounting, auditing &amp; affirmative action Research questions:  What influence does competence and power differences have on women in relation to hierarchical career advancement in the accounting and auditing industry?What reasons are explained to be the basis for the woman's difficulty in a hierarchical career rise? What consequences and penalties can be established if women cannot reach leading positions in the accounting and auditing industry? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate gender perspectives, with the role of women as a starting point. In addition, the study will focus on legitimacy issues with a focus on competence and the influence of power differentials, to study the obstacles, opportunities and consequences for women to reach leadership positions in the accounting and auditing industry.  Method: The study is based on a qualitative methodology with an abductive approach. The qualitative research method has collected primary data through semi-structured interviews. Conclusion: Based on the accounting and auditing industry, the study demonstrates that competence tends to have a positive influence within both professions, at the same time power differences constitute greater influence within the auditing industry, while the accounting industry was also shown to have larger extent for women to achieve hierarchical success. The study also shows penalties in the form of lost dynamism and affirmative action, which, however, can lead to both reduced competence in the workplace and dismissal of the woman, alternatively a reduction in the value of the woman's competences. Finally, motherhood which is a biological factor is considered to be one of the main reasons for difficulty in women's hierarch65ical rise, hence the second difficulty emphasized is that organizations are influenced by past norms and outdated organizational culture.
