För en hållbar organisatorisk arbetsmiljö; En studie av Postnords anställda

- Abstract
- The essay aims to contribute to the further development of the concept of the working environment as there have been major changes in the labor market. Stress-related diseases and workplace accidents are becoming more common and therefore a clearer humanistic and human rights perspective on the concept of working environment is required. For this, the risks that can lead to work injuries have been investigated. This is to get a picture of what can be done to reduce the risks of workplace accidents. The thesis is based on a qualitative research study in the form of a survey that employees at Postnord responded to. Then the empirical data has been analyzed using deductive qualitative content analysis. This means that previous research has... (More)

The thesis is based on a qualitative research study in the form of a survey that employees at Postnord responded to. Then the empirical data has been analyzed using deductive qualitative content analysis. This means that previous research has been used on the new empirical data that has been developed. Are there similarities between other businesses that have increased their cus-tomer orientation and increased their competitive pressure? Is there a connection between organizations in health and social care and Postnord regarding deprioritizing the work environment and staff-promoting work? Göran Ahrne's intersectional theory of "multidi-mensional stratification" has worked as a guide throughout the work. The study conclud-ed that stress-related work situations are those that are considered the most dangerous and that it is usually organizational factors that fail. The result shows that it is possible to make connections between previous research and the study's empirical data and that the need for balance between requirements and control must be reviewed for the employees.
Classical work environment theories in biology / medicine, ergonomics and psychology must be supplemented with social science and humanistic theories. The purpose of de-veloping the concept work environment is to move from the individual context to an organizational context.

- Uppsatsen syftar till att bidra till en vidareutveckling av begreppet arbetsmiljö då det skett stora förändringar på arbetsmarknaden. Stressrelaterade sjukdomar och arbetsplats-olyckor blir allt vanligare och det krävs därför ett tydligare humanistiskt och människo-rättsligt perspektiv på begreppet arbetsmiljö. För detta har de risker som kan leda till ar-betsskador undersökts. För att få en bild över vad som går att göra för att minska riskerna för arbetsplatsolyckor. Uppsatsen bygger på en kvalitativ forskningsstudie i form av en enkät som anställda på Postnord svarat på. Sedan har empirin analyserats med hjälp av deduktivt kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Det betyder att tidigare forskning använts på den nya empiri som tagits fram. Finns det... (More)
- Uppsatsen syftar till att bidra till en vidareutveckling av begreppet arbetsmiljö då det skett stora förändringar på arbetsmarknaden. Stressrelaterade sjukdomar och arbetsplats-olyckor blir allt vanligare och det krävs därför ett tydligare humanistiskt och människo-rättsligt perspektiv på begreppet arbetsmiljö. För detta har de risker som kan leda till ar-betsskador undersökts. För att få en bild över vad som går att göra för att minska riskerna för arbetsplatsolyckor. Uppsatsen bygger på en kvalitativ forskningsstudie i form av en enkät som anställda på Postnord svarat på. Sedan har empirin analyserats med hjälp av deduktivt kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Det betyder att tidigare forskning använts på den nya empiri som tagits fram. Finns det likheter mellan andra verksamheter som ökat sin kundo-rientering och fått ett ökat konkurrenstryck? Finns det ett samband mellan organisationer inom vård och omsorg och Postnord gällande nedprioriteringar i arbetsmiljö och personal-främjande arbete? Göran Ahrnes intersektionella teori om ”flerdimensionell skiktning” har fungerat som vägledning under hela arbetet. Studien kom fram till att stressrelaterade ar-betssituationer är de som anses vara de farligaste och att det oftast är organisatoriska fak-torer som brister. Resultatet visar att det går att göra kopplingar mellan tidigare forskning och studiens empiri samt att behovet av jämvikt mellan krav och kontroll måste ses över för arbetstagare.
Klassiska arbetsmiljöteorier inom biologi/medicin, ergonomi och psykologi måste kom-pletteras med samhällsvetenskapliga och humanistiska teorier. Syftet med att utveckla be-greppet arbetsmiljö är att flytta från individuell kontext till en organisatorisk kontext. (Less)
