- Abstract (Swedish)
- Denna studie fokuserar på hur kvinnliga chefer upplever sina karriärvägar inom hälso- och sjukvården i Region Skåne där syftet har varit att studera kvinnors hinder och möjligheter.

Hur upplever en grupp kvinnor inom Region Skåne att vägen till chefsposition har påverkats av den anledningen att de är kvinnor? Vad finns det för möjligheter respektive hinder för kvinnor inom vården att nå högre positioner? Hur arbetar Human Resources för att främja kvinnors chefskarriären inom vården? Analysen baserades på intervjupersonernas erfarenheter och åsikter samt utifrån tidigare forskning. Studiens resultat visade att kvinnor väljer att göra karriär inom vården utifrån intressen som härstammar från historien, genom att de ser andra kvinnor nå högre positioner samt att kvinnor allmänt söker sig till vården. Utifrån vårt resultat drog vi slutsatsen att kvinnor anser sig ha goda karriärmöjligheter, men att det fanns vissa strukturella hinder såsom familjeliv, konservativa män, brist på stöd och motivation. Därför kan det troligtvis vara svårare för en kvinna att avancera i en mansdominerad organisation. (Less)

What are the opportunities and obstacles for women in healthcare to achieve higher positions? How does Human Resources work to promote women's senior career in health care? Our analysis was based on the experiences and opinions of the interviewees as well as from previous research. The results of the study showed that women choose to advance within health care in terms of interests derived from history, by seeing other women reaching higher positions, as well as women are generally searching for a job within health care. Based on our results, we concluded that women consider themselves having good career opportunities, however that there are some structural barriers such as family life, conservative men, lack of support and motivation. Therefore, it may be more difficult for a woman to advance in a male-dominated organization. (Less)
