Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to qualitatively examine the phenomenon of temporary downward redeployment, thus gaining a deeper understanding of the subject in order to contribute to an otherwise overlooked part of the redeployment field where the main focus previously has been on upward mobility.
Methodology: This thesis has conducted a qualitative research study with an inductive approach. The study is inspired by symbolic interactionism. The empirical material has been collected through semi-structured interviews with openendes questions.
Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework of this thesis presents previous research on redeployment, resistance to change, and Sense of Coherence (SOC) and the relevance they possess toward one another.
Contributions: The findings illustrate a relation between coping with redeployment, expressing resistance and the key factors: clarity, power, trust, competence and meaningfulness. This study has contributed by providing nuances of how employees cope with temporary downward redeployment and what implications this has for an organization. (Less)
