Denna studie undersöker styrning av professioner i offentlig förvaltning. Syftet med studien är att ta reda på hur managementstyrning påverkar professioner. Studiens empiriska material är dokument som uttrycker lönekriterier. Dokumenten representerar sex organisationer i offentlig förvaltning. Dokumenten representerar de tre olika huvudmännen inom offentlig förvaltning, statlig förvaltning, regional förvaltning och kommunal förvaltning. Dokumenten riktar sig till relativt starka och traditionella professionsyrken. Studien visar att dokumenten innehåller en managementdiskurs vilken konstruerar medarbetare. Professionen styrs genom beteendestyrning, resultatstyrning och normstyrning. Den professionella logiken står tillbaka för den marknadsmässiga logiken och den politisk/byråkratiska logiken. / This study explores the management of professions in public administration. The purpose of the study is to find out how management affects professions. The empirical material of the study is documents expressing salary criteria. The documents represent six organizations in public administration. The documents represent the three different levels in public administration, state administration, regional administration and municipal administration. The documents are aimed at relatively strong and traditional professions. The study shows that the documents contain a management discourse that construct employees. The profession is governed by behavioral control, performance management and norm control. The professional logic stands back for market logic and political/bureaucratic logic.

<p>The purpose of this study was to examine the routines of performance related pay systems in two Swedish municipal upper secondary schools. A second purpose was to examine what data was included for evaluation of a co-worker’s performance and how a principal collects data. The purpose was also to examine a principal and teachers´ view of performance related pay systems and if it was possible to note an agreement. Principals have been interviewed and teachers have answered a questionnaire to fulfil the purposes of this study.</p><p>The study shows that the municipality had a good routine that included individual discussions with co-workers about their salary and had fixed municipal criteria. Data for evaluation were these fixed criteria together with unspoken criteria. Principals collected data verbally. It in-creases the risk of subjective evaluation, which increases insecurity and inefficiency of per-formance related pay systems. The teachers gave an insecure and divided image of perform-ance related pay systems. Increased dialogue and defined criteria for the teachers’ salary are needed to improve the image.</p>

The aim of this study is to investigate and identify perceptions, problems and challenges that may arise for wage-setting managers as well as individual employees when working with a performance-based payroll system. A letter of formal notice was sent to a recruitment company inviting them to participate in the study, which also included an explanation of the study’s purpose, approach and procedure. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with nine participants, including the wage-setting manager. The study has given insight into how these participants perform in relation to the performance-based payroll system and the results of the study imply that their experiences vary to a great extent. The wage-setting manager believes that the payroll system is well-functioning. However, he finds challenges in creating a common interpretation of the salary criterias with his employees, as well as communicating the basis of his wage-setting decisions. For employees, results show that the payroll system contributes to experiences of increased motivation and development, as well as stress. Additionally, the study indicates that the results reflect a gender perspective as the women in the study are more prone to stress caused by the performance-based payroll system than men.

Devalveringsteorin har gjort underverk inom kampen för att stänga lönegapet genom att propagera för arbetsvärderingar. I detta arbete undersöks om grundkonceptet bakom devalveringsteori, nedvärderingen av kvinnors arbete, kan tillämpas på lönekriterier för organisationer som använder organisationsövergripande lönekriterier. Då organisationen tillämpar organisationsövergripande kriterier möjliggörs en jämförelse mellan olika arbetsgrupper inom organisationen utan att kriterier måste transformeras. Data från en medelstor svensk kommun har tillhandahållits av ett företag som utför lönekartläggning och arbetsvärderingar. Analysen av data har utförts med en kvantitativ ansats, resultatet indikerar att det förekommer signifikanta skillnader i utfall av lönekriterium mellan män och kvinnor på organisationsnivå, på gruppnivå förekom sporadiska signifikanta resultat och mellan grupper förekom systematiska fördelar för blandade grupper över grupper som endast består av kvinnor eller som består av grupper som endast innehåller en man. Data stödjer att devalveringsteorin skulle kunna tillämpas på lönekriterier för grupper med endast kvinnor eller grupper med endast en man jämfört med blandade grupper.
