    Abstract [en]

    Offering a comprehensive cross-disciplinary perspective, the chapters discuss the economic, political and social factors that shaped HRM in each country, including the role of national labor movements and labor law regimes. The authors also provide an examination of HR practices and systems within firms, starting with rudimentary hiring and compensation a century ago, progressing to personnel and industrial relations programs in the last century, and culminating in modern human resource management practices today, including strategic high-performance systems. This book is the first to identify the commonalities and differences in HRM both across nations and over time.

    Abstract [sv]

    I denna artikel görs dels en summering av forskning som uttalar sig om arbetsvillkor för anställda med hög grad av kundkontakt, dels påvisas utbredningen av dessa villkor i den svenska tjänstesektorn. Det visar sig att tjänstearbete präglas av rutinisering, krav på utseende samt styrning av känslor. Samtidigt är kundkontakter en källa till arbetstillfredsställelse och denna arbetstillfredsställelse är mer utbredd bland anställda som identifierar sig med verksamhetens kunder.

    Att leverera hantverkstjänster – en studie av näringsidkares upplevelser av affärsrelationen2011Report (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Under 2009 inkom det omkring 10 000 klagomål rörande hantverkare och hantverkstjänster till landets konsumentvägledningar. Detta är en ökning med tio procent jämfört med året innan. Vanligtvis handlar klagomålen om att hantverkstjänsten blivit dyrare än överenskommet eller att arbetet inte har utförts på det sätt konsumenten räknat med.

    Anledningen till det ökade klagomålet på hantverkstjänster kan enligt Helena Olofsson, boendeexpert på Konsumentverket, möjligtvis hänvisas till införandet av ROT-avdraget (Renovering, Ombyggnad, Tillbyggnad) som i korthet innebär attprivatkunder som anlitar hantverkare kan få en skattereduktion på 50 procentav arbetskostnaden. Denna förklaring bygger på ett antagande om att ROTavdragetmedför att fler personer väljer att anlita hantverkare nu närkostnaderna blir väsentligt lägre. Det förefaller logiskt att ett ökat anlitande också medför ett ökande av kunders missnöje och därmed klagomål.

    Den ökande andelen klagomål har föranlett en rad delstudier kring hur kunderoch hantverkare upplever affärsrelationen. Två av dessa är kvantitativt orienterade och vänder sig till privatkunder respektive hantverkare, i syfte att kartlägga utbredningen av kundmissnöje. Föreliggande rapport fokuserarnäringsidkares upplevelser av relationen.

    Kundrelationer i hantverksbranschen: Hantverkares respektive konsumenters upplevelser och erfarenheter2013Report (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Kundrelationer har intresserat forskare och praktiker under tämligen lång tid. Ofta har man intagit ett kundperspektiv och försökt klargöra vad kunder värdesätter för att sedan kunna utveckla eller bibehålla så kallat kundfokus i syfte att nå företagsmässig framgång. Vad som anses vara ett framgångsrecept inom i synnerhet företagsekonomisk tjänsteforskning är att bemöta kunderna på ett unikt sätt, gärna kompletterat med förträfflig service. Vid sidan av studierna som intresserar sig för kunders önskemål och krav finns det undersökningar som fokuserar arbetssituationen hos anställdas, dvs de som förväntas uppfylla kundernas önskemål. Oavsett om det är kunder eller anställda som fokuseras placeras de mellanmänskliga relationerna – dvs själva mötet – oftast i fokus.

    Föreliggande rapport består av två separata kvalitativa studier inom området för hantverkstjänster: en med inriktning på leverantörsidan (dvs hantverkare), en med inriktning på mottagarsidan (dvs konsumenter). Genom att intervjua både hantverkare och konsumenter ges en nyanserad bild av kundrelationen.

    Båda dessa studier har utförts på uppdrag av Konsumentverket.

    Personal internet usage at work: A source of recovery2011In: Journal of workplace rights, ISSN 1938-4998, Vol. 16, no 1, p. 63-81Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Despite enormous productivity increases during recent decades, it has been claimed that workers’ engagement in non-work-related activities severely damages companies’ productivity development. Currently, personal Internet usage seems to be the most upsetting of these activities. There is a widespread notion among management-friendly researchers, employers, and the media that all non-work-related activities are deviant and should be defeated at all costs. This conceptual article gives an overview of the organisational behaviour literature dealing with non-work-related activities at work. The prohibitive approach is both inconsistent and in practice unenforceable. This is especially true since an increasing proportion of today’s private Internet usage at work is carried out by employees using their private smartphones, a fact that has not been considered in previous research. This article contrasts theories and ideas that private Internet usage at work is deviant with theoretical overviews arguing that non-work-related activities are an expression of normal action and behaviour, which can be explained with the help of both work-life balance theory and theories on resistance. An additional concept is recovery, which has not previously been used in the debate on Internet usage. Today’s workplaces are populated by engaged employees who work at a fast pace and need recovery, well-deserved micro-pauses, and breaks from demanding work. Furthermore, some Internet surfing is actually a consequence of organisations’ inability to come up with decent work tasks to fill the whole day. The aim of this article is to point out the recovery functions of personal Internet usage in today’s working life, primarily in terms of employees’ well-being and dignity. This article contributes to the debate by proposing eight situations in which the employee should be allowed to “cyberloaf” without being disciplined. The article also suggests empirical investigations that may be carried out with regard to the views and effects of personal Internet use at work in four different settings, that is, where employees’ private Internet usage is officially forbidden, seemingly forbidden, allowed, or encouraged.

    Privata angelägenheter på jobbet2012In: Arbetsmarknad & Arbetsliv, ISSN 1400-9692, E-ISSN 2002-343X, Vol. 18, no 3, p. 9-20Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [sv]

    Arbetsgivarna har alltid haft ett stort intresse av att anställda utför det arbete de har betalt för att göra. För närvarande kretsar debatten om anställdas engagemang i privata angelägenheter såsom internetanvändning. I artikeln granskas den existerande forskningens förklaringar samtidigt som vi efterlyser forskning som bättre beaktar de positiva effekterna av fenomenet. Det krävs systematiska studier av både upplevda och faktiska effekter för att nyansera den tidvis hätska debatten.

    Service Work and Employee Experience of the Service Encounter2010Report (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Due to the very nature of service work, a vast majority of research has focused on interpersonal aspects. There are mainly two perspectives; the first takes departure from the customers’ point of view and focus on customer satisfaction and business success.The second, rather critical, perspective highlights the employees’ experiences of the service interaction. Our purpose is to combine, summarize, and test – often the oreticaland sometimes normative – proposals and statements from both these perspectives.

    The empirical data is derived from (a) a questionnaire to a random sample of 2000 Swedish employees with daily customer/client contact in their work, and (b) in-depth interviews with 21 employees, working as shop assistants, receptionists, travel agents etc.

    The study covers areas such as routinization; superiority and subordination; customer identification; rapport; aesthetic labour; the use of humour, charm and flirt; and the dealing with troublesome or rude customers. Our research shows how service encounters are a source of well-being, satisfaction, and commercial success, as well as a source of control and stress. The employees have to suppress their own feelings; they lie to customers, and are often mistreated. As many as half of the employees state that they regularly have to deal with troublesome or rude customers. This situation is even worse for women.

    Management’s moral relativity regarding personal activities on company time2016Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    When people are at work they are expected to work and not spend time on other things. But people do not engage exclusively in work; they also engage in a variety of non-work related activities, which Eddy et al. (2010) choose to term ‘personal activities on company time’ or PACT. What personal activities people engage in is determined by what they consider urgent in one way or another, and what is possible to do at the specific workplace (Ivarsson & Larsson, forthcoming). So far, most studies on this subject have focused on subordinated personnel (Lim 2002) but mid- and top-level managers also engage in PACT (Schou Andreassen et al. 2014; Ivarsson & Larsson 2015). However, management attitudes to PACT vary significantly between their own activities and the behaviour of their subordinates. Based on in-depth interviews with 20 high-level managers from different sectors and industries in Sweden, the paper explores the differences in attitude and presentation of PACT.

    We explore the incidence and rationale presented for respective actions of workers and managers,    which betrays an underlying moralising theme around work ethics that echoes back through the historic concerns of the Labour Process debate. Since the days of Taylor (1911), management have moralized about the personality and the attitude among workers – their inherited laziness and their never-ending tendency to ‘soldier’ – which has led to a perceived need to keep on monitoring and controlling employees by various means. Employees who, in one way or another, withholds working capacity – for example by engagement in some non-work related activity – are believed to cause financial loss for the organization (Self & Self 2014) and are also believed to influence overall work ethic in a negative way (Kamp & Brooks 1991).

     

    From the data, managers engage quite extensively in personal activities on official work time. Even though employees and managers may have similar reasons for engagement in personal activities, the managers believe that there is a big difference between the two.  The managers’ general perception is that work time should be devoted only to work. They do not approve when an employee engage in any other activity than work; to engage is PACT is presented as “stealing” time, and indicative of a flawed work ethic. Nevertheless, when managers themselves engage quite extensively in personal activities on official work time, this is presented as a benefit of an inherently good work ethic, or “borrowing” time based on a capacity for compensatory calculation. Even in cases where a narrow band of legitimate PACT activities for workers were tolerated, this compared to managements’ lack of need to justify their engagement in a near limitless range of non-work activities. There has been a lot of focus on blurring of work and non-work roles for managers and the need for boundary management (Rothbard et al, 2005). The managers in this study presented the inversion of this logic with the assumption of a lack of competing needs for non-managerial workers and any blurring of the boundary being regarded as “soldiering”.
