This study aims to explore how middle-managers, within public homecare services, perceive that they are affected by organizational structures, such as economic model, room for maneuver and budget responsibility, and organizational cultures, such as goals and personal values, in their effort to work with a client-centered perspective. The study was carried out by five semi-structured interviews with five middle-managers. The study has concluded different statements from the chosen middle-managers regarding how organizational structures and organizational cultures affect their ability to work client-centered. While some has mentioned that budget responsibility negatively affects the possibility to work with a client-centered perspective, others view it as a positive aspect of their work. A key finding in this study has been that the middle-managers with the least budget responsibility also visited their clients more frequently. Another key finding in this study has been how the middle-managers work to reach their clients. While some middle-managers tend to talk to their clients directly, others use their staff as their main tool to reach out to the client. (Less)
