Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze how people in leadership positions perceive the impact of client-centered work on employees’ well-being at SiS residential homes, which are operated by the Swedish National Board of Institutional Care, and to further investigate how managers work preventively for the employees’ health.

The study was based on eight semi-structured interviews with questions related to the purpose of the study. The interviewees hold managerial positions, where we have chosen to focus on the Head of Department, Head of Unit, and Head of Quality that exist within each SiS residential home. The study is analyzed through Herzberg’s Two Factor Theory, Taylorism, and the Human Relations Perspective and is based on previous research on leadership and compassion fatigue. The results of the study showed that the prevailing work environment harms employees and that many of the interviewees recognize the possibility of developing compassion fatigue. The interviewees cited, among other things, the lack of introduction into the leadership role and the difficulties in attracting and retaining competent staff, which in turn affects the employees. Finally, the study identified how, despite the challenges, people in leadership positions are working to prevent the psychological well-being of the employees. This is done by creating awareness of the psychosocial health of the employees and by focusing on providing the right working conditions for employees. (Less)
