Flexibla arbetsformer i varseltider : En studie av ett projekt i Arvika våren 2008 / Flexible work models during radundancies : Astudy of a project in Arvika Spring 2008

<h1>Sammanfattning</h1><p>Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att belysa hur några av de personer som var utlånade under ett tillfälligt samarbete i Arvika under våren 2008 påverkades. Samarbetet gick ut på att förtaget Thermia Värme AB, som hade minskad orderingång vid starten av samarbetet, gick samman med tre andra företag i Arvika som då var i behov av tillfällig extra arbetskraft. Thermia lånade ut en del av sin personal som sedan skulle tillbaka efter cirka fyra månaders uthyrning. I de intervjuer som genomfördes framkom det att man antingen var frivillig till uthyrning, alltså valde självmant om man ville bli uthyrd, eller så var man tvingad till uthyrning. Man fick då välja på att bli uthyrd eller att bli uppsagd.</p><p> </p><p>Projektet i Arvika är relativt ovanligt men det har funnits liknande samarbeten, dock saknas det forskning kring dessa. Därför har vi i denna undersökning använt oss av forskning som kan liknas vid vårt studieobjekt och vara intressant för studiens utfall, exempelvis forskning kring förändringskompetens, Karaseks krav/kontrollmodell, bemanningsföretag och arbetsgivarringar.</p><p> </p><p>Metoden vi använt oss av är den kvalitativa forskningsintervjun. Detta då vi hade relativt få respondenter samt att det var den mest passande metoden då vi ville studera uppfattningen kring hur det kändes att vara uthyrd.</p><p> </p><p>Resultatet av denna studie visade bland annat att de som var frivilliga till uthyrning var överlag mer positivt inställda till samarbetet än de som var tvingade till uthyrning. Detta resultat var inte helt oväntat med tanke på att de frivilligt utlånade självmant anmälde sig till projektet och de som var tvingade kunde inte välja då uppsägning var det andra alternativet. Något som kunde varit bättre under samarbetets gång var enligt respondenterna det stöd man fick från Thermia. Vistelsen på det inhyrande företaget upplevdes både positivt och negativt, men den gemensamma åsikten om återkomsten till Thermia var att man var glad att komma tillbaka. Arbetskamrater uppgavs vara den viktigaste komponenten hos samtliga respondenter i arbetslivet och de nämndes som viktiga under projektets gång.</p><p> </p><p>Slutsatsen av denna undersökning visade att projektet i stort var lyckat, då man på Thermia lyckades bibehålla personal utan att behöva friställa trots minskad orderingång. På så sätt fick medarbetarna chansen till kompetensutveckling, nätverkande och gavs ett alternativ till friställande i en lågkonjunktur. För företaget var detta också ett sätt att bibehålla sin medarbetarkompetens till förväntad högkonjunktur.</p> / <h1>Abstract</h1><p>The purpose of this study has been to look on the effects on a selection of people after their participation in a temporary cooperation in Arvika in spring of 2008.  The cooperation expressed itself in that a company named Thermia Värme AB, which had a decline in order intake at the start of this cooperation, went together with three other companies in Arvika which at this time was in need of extra manpower. Thermia decided to hire out part of its staff which would then come back after about four months. It was made clear from interviews that you could either volunteer for being hired out, meaning you could on your own decide if you wanted to stay or being hired out, or you were forced to allow yourself to be hired out. The latter meaning you had to allow to be hired out or be forced to resign your employment.</p><p> </p><p>This project in Arvika is rather unusual but there have been similar cooperations, which however there is no research on. In light of this we have used research that can be seen as similar to this study and interesting due to the outcome of this study, for an example research about skills in change competence services, Karaseks Demand/Control Model and employer rings.</p><p> </p><p>We have in this study used the method of qualitative research interview. Reason for this being an access to relatively few respondents along with the fact that this method was best suited for our study on feelings in regard to ones feelings on being hired out.</p><p> </p><p>The result of this study showed among other things that those who allowed themselves voluntarily to be hired out were in most cases more positive to the cooperation than those being forced to choose. This result was not completely unexpected given the fact that those who voluntarily choose to participate could do so without the risk of having to resign ones employment if not choosing to participate. According to the respondents, one thing that could have been better during the course of this cooperation was the support they received from Thermia. The stay at the company that hired was experienced as both positive and negative, but the common view with those returning to Thermia was that they were happy to be back. The most important component in working life according to all respondents was the coworkers, something frequently mentioned as important during the course of the project.</p><p> </p><p>The conclusion of this study showed that the project on the whole was a success, since Thermia managed to avoid having to lay off employees in spite of a decline in order intake. In that way employees got the chance to participate in in-service training, expanding their network and an option to lay-off in times of recession. For the company this was also a way to maintain their employee-competence for an expected time of prosperity.</p><p> </p>
