The staff distribution and the gender diversity in the Swedish Armed Forces aren't at the level the organization has the ambition to be. Meanwhile previous research shows that there are multiple obstacles for women to work and advance in military organizations. This study examines the staff category of newly examined female officers’ perception of their possibilities to work in the Swedish Armed Forces, a personnel category that specifically hasn't been studied in this area. The study will be conducted by interviewing female officers in this personnel category. The study shows that most of the interviewed women have a positive experience in their new workplace, where a supporting commander seem to be a success factor. Some of the interviewed women also testifies about perceived misconducts in the workplace where problems such as traditionally manly ideals permeate colleagues and/or the organization's behaviour and consequently limits the women’s possibilities.
