Research
My research embraces several, but connected, sub areas within working life science. The core of my publications contributes to the sub areas work
environment, digitalisation of work, co-workership (medarbetarskap), human resource management, leadership development, organisational change, project management, – all with a special focus on the work situation of the individual. I have mainly studied industrial settings and municipalities.
My research is mainly qualitative, but also includes quantitative research methods.
Teaching
My subject areas for teaching are: human resource management, leadership, group development, stress, and sustainable work. An overall perspective that can summarize my educational standpoint is what I want to accomplish with my teaching, I want to create an interest in my topic and give undergraduate students opportunities to become good leaders and/or HR professionals, and thus create sustainable jobs, i.e. work that is sustainable from both economic and human perspectives.
