Abstract:

Concerns have been raised about the quality of care provided by professional caregivers to vulnerable older adults. However, little is known about the psychological mechanisms that may affect professional caregivers' ability to provide good care. This thesis presents four papers which sought to address this gap in our knowledge. The first paper reports a proposed quantitative multilevel study, investigating the effects of nursing home manager-level and care assistant-level variables on psychosocial caregiving among care assistants. There were no effects of manager-level variables. However, str

Abstract:

Although a growing number of scholars suggest that the construction of identity is an important form of institutional work, the complex interactions between identities and institutions remain under-explored. In particular, few studies consider how the affective aspects of identities may inform institutional work. This thesis examines the experiences of lawyers who volunteered to create and support a legal charity. As these volunteers grew to more than twenty thousand over fifteen years, the charity gradually centralized charitable work across law firms for the first time. In this way, it trans

Abstract:

Denna studie kom till för att vi såg en kunskapslucka av fenomenet våld i nära partnerrelationer hos ungdomar. Syftet var att undersöka hur professionella inom socialt arbete uppfattade ungdomars syn på våld i nära relation. Vid genomförandet av studien intervjuade vi sex personer som var yrkesverksamma inom socialt arbete med ungdomar och/eller våld i nära relation. Ett etiskt övervägande som gjordes innan intervjuerna genomfördes var att intervjua yrkesverksamma och inte ungdomar. Vi bedömde att risken för att en enskild ungdoms sekretess kunde påverkas mer negativt än en yrkesverksam person

Abstract Attracting and developing information technology (IT) professionals is one of the top concerns for companies. Although much research has been conducted about the job behavior and attitudes of IT professionals over the last three decades, findings are inconclusive and contradictory. This suggests that something may be missing in how we examine this phenomenon. Most of this research is drawn from theories of motivation, very little examines the effect of social relationships on IT professionals' behavior and attitude. Yet, social capital theory suggests that job behavior and attitude
