Abstract (Swedish)
Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie var att öka förståelsen för hur medarbetare inom den privata äldrevården upplevde en organisationsförändring.

Vidare studerades hur de upplevde kommunikationen och informationen under förändringen samt hur de såg på personalrelaterade problem under förändringen.

Resultatet visade vikten av delaktighet där de respondenter som var positiva till förändringen även var de respondenter som upplevde att de fick vara delaktiga under förändringens gång. Däremot visade resultatet att de medarbetare som upplevde förändringen svår och mindre lyckad var de som hade velat vara mer delaktiga och involverade under förändringsprocessen. Vidare visade resultatet på att det var viktigt med en engagerad chef eftersom en engagerad chef underlättade förändringsprocessen för medarbetarna. Summerat är organisationsförändringar ett komplext fenomen eftersom varje organisation är unik. (Less)

On the contrary, the respondents who were not pleased with the change wished to be more incorporated in the decision making process.

Finally, organizational change is a complex phenomenon since every organization is unique. (Less)
