- Abstract
- In this essay, work-life balance and organizational culture within the consulting
industry among recent graduates has been examined. Both aspects have been
previously studied in the consulting sector, but previous research has not been
found where both aspects are investigated in relation to each other and recent
graduates. The main research question is: What significance does
organizational culture have for the perceived work-life balance of recent
graduates within the consulting industry? To measure this, a quantitative
survey was used and distributed via social media. The survey was answered by
64 respondents, of which 60 responses were used in the study. The survey also

survey was used and distributed via social media. The survey was answered by
64 respondents, of which 60 responses were used in the study. The survey also
included four open questions where respondents had the opportunity to provide
longer answers. Work-life balance was measured with three dimensions
according to Hayman's work-life balance scale (2005), and organizational
culture was measured using The Organizational Culture Assessment
Instrument by Cameron and Quinn (1999). The results of the organizational
culture measurement showed a tendency for market culture within the
consulting sector, but also that the respondents rated all types of organizational
culture relatively evenly. A correlation analysis between the three dimensions
of work-life balance and organizational culture was conducted. The results
showed statistically significant correlations between clan culture, hierarchy
culture, and market culture, and two different dimensions of work-life balance. (Less) - Abstract (Swedish)
- I denna uppsats har work-life balance och organisationskultur inom konsultbranschen hos nyexaminerade undersökts. Aspekterna har tidigare undersökts kopplat till konsultsektorn, men det har inte hittats forskning där både aspekter undersöks i relation till varandra för nyexaminerade. Huvudfrågeställningen för undersökningen lyder: Vilken betydelse har organisationskulturen för nyexaminerades upplevda work-life balance inom konsultbranschen? För att mäta detta har en kvantitativ enkät använts, som skickades ut via sociala medier. Enkäten besvarades av 64 respondenter varav 60 svar användes i undersökningen. Enkäten innehöll även fyra öppna frågor där respondenterna hade chans att skriva längre svar. Work-life balance mättes med tre... (More)

Enkäten innehöll även fyra öppna frågor där respondenterna hade chans att skriva längre svar. Work-life balance mättes med tre dimensioner enligt Haymans work-life balance skala (2005) och organisationskultur mättes med hjälp av The Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument av Cameron och Quinn (1999). Resultatet på mätningen av organisationskultur visade en tendens mot marknadskultur inom konsultsektorn, men även att respondenterna skattade alla typer av organisationskultur relativt jämnt. En korrelationsanalys mellan de tre dimensionerna av work-life balance och organisationskultur gjordes. Resultatet visade att det fanns statistiskt signifikanta korrelationer mellan klankultur, hierarkikultur och marknadskultur och två olika dimensioner av work-life balance. (Less)
