Full textThe aim of this study is to investigate HR professionals’ experiences in an individual perspective of HR transformation. The study answers the following questions: How does the ongoing HR transformation affect the current HR task and function of HR professionals? What changes does HR professionals believe have affected their perception of the HR profession? What does HR professionals think about HR transformation in the future? The purpose is answered with a qualitative method through six semi structured interviews with HR professionals. The theoretical frameworks that is used to analyze the empirical material is the concept of HR transformation, shared service, HR professionals different roles and resilience. The result shows that HR professionals experiences varying degrees of HR transformation, the biggest change being that administrative tasks decreases, thanks to digitalization, but operational work is still very important. Strategic tasks and the HR perspective have an increased position and a greater importance. The respondents have a resilience capacity, they are showing an adaptability to unforeseen changes and have a positive attitude. The HR professionals are positive to the future with many possibilities, in a continued HR transformation journey, where more tasks are being changed to add value to the organizations, which indicates that HR’s importance therefor will continue to increase.

Full textThe following study, written by Emma Heldring and Ida Vestlin with the title Digital tools within Human Resources investigates HR-employees attitudes towards digital tools within HR-work. Personal attitudes towards digital tools within HR are intended to be identified with eight semi-structured qualitative interviews. Earlier studies in the field has a management perspective with a focus on increased efficiency and productivity, less research has been done on how the employees working with the tools feel about them. Robert Blauner’s (1964) theoretical concept powerlessness and parts from Bosse Angelöws (2010) reorganizational model, together with previous research about digital tools, constitutes the theoretical framework. The study's results are in accordance with previous research about digital tools impact on efficiency and show that the use and need of them are comprehensive. The results suggest that new digital tools such as recruitment robots and chatbots entail risks, but their benefits tend to outweigh the disadvantages, which has resulted in a generally positive attitude to digital tools in HR-work. A thorough analysis shows the reoccurring reflection on the advantages and disadvantages of digital tools, which has created the ambivalent attitude that characterizes the result. The study contributes with knowledge of HR-employees attitudes for digital tools.

Full textHRM, human resource management, is a profession concerning, as its name indicates, managing the human resources of an organization. Ever since emerging, it has been ambiguous and constantly evolving. Many of the studies conducted in the field has therefore focused on identifying what HR is and what its function should be. Research has focused on finding universal answers, but there are few studies that allow these questions to be answered on the basis of a specific organizational context. Furthermore, there is also a lack of empirical studies in the field of HR. Through this, as well as through the ambiguity and changing background the field of HR is characterized by, we have, in research, identified the HR function as vaguely framed. Based on this, the purpose of the study is to contribute with practice oriented knowledge about how HR work is managed in practice.We have conducted a qualitative study, on which we have applied a comparative design. Based on a theoretical sample, three corporations with an independent HR department were included in the study through semi-structured interviews. In every corporation a HR manager and three department heads were interviewed. The analysis has been shaped by an abductive approach, inspired by a hermeneutic perspective. The theoretical model used in the analysis, was developed on the basis of previous research and served purpose to help emphasize, possibly opposing, differences in the interviewees views, regarding HR.The findings of this study has led to conclusions that HR as a function should not be determined in specific terms. However, the importance is to create an internal consistency regarding the role of HR and then to communicate this throughout the organization. This, in order to promote consistent expectations of the function and thus minimize misguided criticism. In all the corporations, dualistic HRM was the most appearing approach, in which both soft and hard HRM exist. Opposed to the majority of previous presented research of the field, this study focus on exploring HR-practice in its specific context, thus it contributes to a deeper understanding the practice of the field. This paper is written in Swedish.

Full textThe thesis explores the most prominent usability problems in HRutan but also addresses the improvements that can be made. This has been accomplished by studying a specific/selected HR system with references to carefully selected design guidelines and directives. The design guidelines and directives were shown to the target group through a survey in the form of an interview. The aim of the first interview was to collect the opinions and the feedback of the target group regarding the usability problems of the selected HR system. These opinions and the feedback were later used in the design of a prototype-based user interface. Together with the first interview an expert evaluation was conducted which aimed to confirm the usability issues that the target group expressed. This was completed by combining the results of usability problems from both studies and thus find a prominent result of the usability problems on the selected HR system. Finally, one more interview regarding the prototype-based user interface was done by the target group. The intention of this interview was to examine if any improvements had been made. The aim of this study is first of all to determine what design guidelines and directives are relevant to achieve a higher degree of usability in an HR system and thus meet requirements and needs of the user. The second aim is to discover and determine the improvements necessary to simplify the basic features of an HR system from a usability perspective. The last part is the aim to identify how the design, structure and navigation of an HR system can be improved from a usability perspective. The results point out that there is a varying degree of relevance for each design guidelines and directives where the categories error handling, feedback and reconnection indicates a higher degree of relevance. The category tools and shortcuts point to a lower degree of relevance in the context of HRutan. The result show that there was a necessitate for a variable degree of improvement in all categories. The suggestions for improvements are for instance based on a new consistent layout of its information and a clarification of current events and places by division of the categories in tabs. Additional proposals for improvement are the structuring and placement of information based on essentiality, message windows for the various actions as well as the addition of a number of output and regret functions. The proposals for improvement give prominence to the importance of a system that handles the most basic adjustments and inputs but also highlight the weight of the shortcuts for the most frequent task. Shortcuts for functions with multiple choice options to achieve a more targeted custom page and multi-step directions, such as video clips for the execution of tasks, are further proposal of improvements. These improvements result in a new layout of the user interface with a consistent structure and design of the layout, the menus, terminology, symbols and phrases.

Full textPeople agree that employees is the greatest asset of the organization as well as HR is strongly related to taking advantage of these. A common belief is that HR is a function that only is applicable in big companies. In previous research and when we were in contact with a couple of small firms it emerged that it’s common that HR-activities usually is conducted by a person with other main tasks, usually the owner of the company. This led us to the purpose to explore the perceptions of HR-activities in small firms from a perspective of the owner, the person who is delegated some of the HR-activities and the employees. The study is interesting since previous research has not investigated small firms as much as big companies. It has also been discussed if HR-theories and models are applicable in small firms. The study is made on an inductive approach, made up of semi structured interviews, a qualitative collection of data, and has been analyzed in a qualitative way by a thematic analysis. The analysis resulted in four main categories and three subcategories that defines the perception of HR-activities in small firms. The categories that where identified where organizational culture, leadership, communication and growth with the subcategories conflict management, “we and them” and ambiguity.

Full textInledning: HR-avdelningar har växt fram för att ta hand om organisationers viktigaste resurs, nämligen människan. HR som funktion har dock fått möta kritik som hävdar att funktionen inte medför något mervärde till organisationer. Det beror ofta på att övriga organisationen inte förstår vad HRs dagliga arbete och därav inte har någon klar bild över funktionens syfte och roll i organisationen. Syfte: Syftet för studien är att beskriva relationen mellan organisationens bild av HR-avdelningen (image) och HR-avdelningens bild av sig själva (identitet) för att därigenom skapa en större förståelse för hur HR-funktionen på ett framgångsrikt sätt kan vara en väl fungerande resurs i en organisations övergripande verksamhet. Metod: Studien har genomförts i form av en fallstudie. Vi har närmat oss frågeställningarna genom att ta hänsyn till olika perspektiv som innefattar HR, chefer och medarbetare. Forskningen har en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi med en abduktiv ansats där datainsamling sker genom kvalitativa intervjuer. Resultat: Studien har resulterat i olika uppfattningar kring vad HRs identitet är, samt olika uppfattningar kring vad HRs image är. Beroende på vilken arbetsgrupp som svarat har vi också fått olika svar på vad HR-funktionen identitet och image är. Trots att bilderna skiljer sig åt visar resultatet på att HR-funktionen faktiskt är nödvändig och att den uppfyller en nytta, men att den absolut kan bli mer användbar för organisationen i övrigt. Studiens bidrag till teorin är en modell som visar på en potentiell förbättring för att ge HR mer utrymme i verksamheten.

Full textDenna studie syftar till att öka förståelsen för hur en HR-funktion med hjälp av olika HR-aktiviteter, kan främja implementeringsprocessens resultat före, under och efter en större organisationsförändring. Studien utgår från en kvalitativ metod med kvantitativa inslag och bygger på en abduktiv ansats. Insamling av primärdata bygger på semistrukturerade intervjuer och en enkätundersökning med medarbetare, förändringsledare, HR-funktion och ledning inom förvaltningen support och lokaler i Skellefteå kommun. Resultatet av studien tyder på att även om det finns en väletablerad HR-funktion inom organisationen, så återfinns barriärer som försvårar implementeringens senare del, där HR-aktiviteter har använts under förändringsprocessen. Studien kan därmed ses bidra till en djupare förståelse kring hur en HR-funktion tillsammans med HR-aktiviteter kan främja resultatet av större organisationsförändringar under hela processen. Vårt resultat belyser även att HR-aktiviteter kan ha en betydande roll för huruvida resultatet av en större organisationsförändring kan anses som lyckad eller ej. Vi ser därför att vårt resultat kan fungera som ett stöd för en ledning som har för avsikt att genomgå en större organisationsförändring med stöd från en HR-funktion. Vi ser också att studien kan fungera som ett hjälpmedel för chefer och ledning som utforskar möjligheten till att genomföra en större organisationsförändring med ett positivt resultat med hjälp av HR-aktiviteter.

Full textSyftet med denna studie är att bidra med ny kunskap gällande huruvida Talent Management kan ses som en möjlighet eller hot för organisationers utveckling, främst gällande kompetens, i ett HR-perspektiv. Forskningsfrågorna lyder: Ur vilka aspekter kan arbete med Talent Management ses som ett hot respektive en möjlighet ur en HR-anställds perspektiv? Hur kan arbetet med Talent Management påverka dem i deras dagliga arbete och yrkesroll? För att besvara forskningsfrågorna har semistrukturerade intervjuer utförts med fem personer från fyra företag. Uppsatsen har ett explorativt syfte och skrivs med en kvalitativ metod. De empiriska resultaten visar på gemensamma teman som chefstöd, HRs syn på Talent Management, HRs utvekling och generationsskiften. Talent Management kan ses som en möjlighet för HR-anställda då de får chans att arbeta med aktuella HR-frågor och att de genom detta arbete kan säkra samt utveckla nyckelpersoner.

Full textBackground: After the HR transformation, the HR function and HR managers should be more strategic, effective and creating more value than being only an administrative function like they were before. Based on this new alignment the expectations and what the HR function should focus on have become unclear. In turn, this have created a legitimacy problem for HR and have also affected them in their ambition to become a strategic business partner in company’s boardrooms. There could be different reasons to why this legitimacy issue exists on the Swedish work market. However, are the research about HR managers legitimacy in boardrooms in Sweden and their experience around their own legitimacy insufficient. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of how HR managers in practice look at their legitimacy and how they believe it can be strengthened. Furthermore, the purpose is to investigate whether HR managers use measuring tools regarding human resources in their ambition to obtaining legitimacy. Method: The study has been conducted with a qualitative and abductive method, where interviews have been used as a data collection method. 10 HR managers have been interviewed from different industries with different types of experiences. The chosen method is based on the study’s focus, which is to gain a deeper understanding of the chosen problem area, rather than trying to find solutions to the problem. Conclusion: The result of this study indicate that HR managers generally do not feel that they have a lack of legitimacy in either their professional role or in the company’s boardroom. Furthermore, the study has contributed to an understanding that measuring tools regarding human resources can function as a tool for HR managers in their ambition to obtain or strengthen their legitimacy. The study has also highlighted other factors that have proved to have a positive impact on the legitimacy where communication, showing their value and having knowledge about the entire business are addressed as examples.

Full textThe aim of the present study was to investigate line managers’ experiences of their managementship after centralization of the HR department, and the decentralization of tasks that are related to HR work. Through a qualitative study, eight interviews were conducted with line managers within an energy corporate group in Central Sweden. The focus was on the line managers' experiences, narratives and experiences of their managementship, after the organizational change that was implemented. Data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. The result showed that the line managers felt factors such as cooperation, clear expectations, greater responsibility and also that the separation of managementship and leadership contributed to the changes that centralization brought, were perceived as positive. The importance of these factors with the decentralization of the tasks related to HR work has thus contributed to the line managers feeling that they are able to manage the increased demands placed on them as managers, and that they enjoy their managementship.

Full textABSTRACT Bachelor Thesis, Human Resource Management, Linnaeus University, Organization, 2013. Title: ”Medarbetarsamtal – vilken funktion fyller de?” Supervisor: Kjell Arvidsson Author: Josephine Berg, Magnus Ivarsson och Martina Jonsson Examiner: Mikael Lundgren Background: That annual performance is held every now and then is quite usual for most companies, both in the private and public sector. But is there any point in having appraisals? We wonder if they are only there to fill a ceremonial purpose, whether it is something that the management decided without explaining why the employees? Purpose: The aim of our study is to try to find out how managers and employees are experiencing performance reviews to see if these conversations have any point or if they exist without any proper reason. Method: To answer the study's end, an inductive approach with a qualitative method was selected as the basis for the essay. We interviewed six employees and an equal number of directors. Results and conclusions: We have in our study found that many companies use appraisals but they do not really know why. It is something they do just to have it done and because others do it. But even though most do not know why they implemented our respondents think that it is good that they are, if nothing else, they get some time alone with the boss, and that may be just as important. We have in our study concluded that there is no clear answer; the appraisals serve different functions in different organizations and for different people.

Full textThe necessity for companies to increase their ability to face competition in global markets has imposed, over the last few years, substantial changes in the HR organization’s roles. These changes bring challenges to people’s management and especially for HR professionals. More than ever, HR needs to understand the role of Strategic HR in order to position itself in the organization and leverage their goals, adding effective strategic and valuable contribution. Thus, this research aims to present what is the Strategic HR in the perception of professionals with extensive experience in HR, who occupies, or had occupied, executive positions in large organizations. To fulfill the objective, the phenomenographic methodology was used, and 19 (nineteen) executives were interviewed. The analysis of the interview’s transcriptions, such as the perceptions, were categorized and resulted in 6 (six) themes: Competencies for Strategic HR, Leadership Role, Operation Model, HR Strategic Resources, High Value Products and Services and The HR Client. Additionally, we proposed an operation model for the strategic human resources area, combining the 6 (six) central themes. The results of this study suggest the need of a faster alignment between Human Resources and business context, and a strong connection between the six central themes, to effectively generate the HR value perception.

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to examine employees views on gender equality at a human resource company in Stockholm. Our results are obtained though interviews and observations. Our informants are, to the extent that it is possible, of different ages, job descriptions and statuses within the company.
We have focused on employees’ perceptions of the company in regard to its work on topics that effect gender/discrimination in the work place. Through out this thesis we argue that employees at the human resource company use a discourse which is dedicated to topics of equality, however the employees do not practice these values in any noticeable way. Rather they show an ambivalence as to how these questions should be managed. Thus a discrepancy between discourse and practice is constructed within the company. By applying Robert Connell’s theory on hegemonic masculinity in combination with Lisbeth Bekkengen’s analysis of “child orientated masculinity” to our research we argue that a normative masculinity is created at the company, which not only constructs a marginalized masculinity in its wake, but also prohibits gender equality from becoming common practice. Another factor that complicates work on gender equality is that informants choose not to see gender asymmetries as structural, rather they are lifted out of their context and viewed as individual.

Full textAccording to surveys conducted by the organization Ledarna, there is a recurrent problem of recruiting young women to senior positions. The purpose of this essay is to investigate what may affect women's desire to seek a managerial position and to design a HR strategy that promotes and motivates women to seek executive positions. Young women feel doubtful about manager positions because of the feeling of lack of experience and difficulty identifying themselves with the stereotype manage standard. Aspects of the management that motivate are the ability to influence, make decisions and gain personal development. The fact that a manager has a high workload is something that is referred to as negative while the challenge in the manager position attracted the interviewees. Focusing on difficulty in balancing work and private/family life can be an overriding explanation that fewer women choose a managerial career. In many cases, the manager position offers an opportunity for flexible working hours, which benefits the balance between work and private life. A key factor in combining management positions with family and children is an equal distribution of household work and responsibility for the children. Several of the interviewees have gained their position through encouragement, something that was crucial for the manager position. In order to motivate young women into management positions, engagement is needed in which female executive subjects are discovered and encouraged to career. The work is based on a qualitative approach with semi structured interviews as a collection method. The results are analyzed based on the theoretical reference frame compiled within the focus area. Throughout the structure of the work, the thematic approaches are based on the questions: What is it that makes young women doubt about leadership? What can motivate young women to want to become a manager? How can work life as a manager be combined with privacy/family life? How can recruitment be improved to motivate young women to seek executive positions?

Full text[CAT] La digitalització dels processos de RRHH en solucions basades en el núvol progressa contínuament. Aquesta tesi examina tals transformacions, deriva un model de procés concret i identifica els factors crítics d'èxit. La metodologia utilitzada per a la investigació és de caràcter qualitatiu. Com a base i mesura preparatòria per a abordar les qüestions d'investigació, es va dur a terme un ampli estudi bibliogràfic en l'àmbit dels recursos humans, amb especial atenció a les publicacions sobre la gestió electrònica dels recursos humans (en endavant, "e-HRM "). Basant-se en aquest coneixement i en la combinació d'una àmplia experiència pràctica amb projectes de transformació de RRHH, es va publicar un estudi que presenta el desenvolupament històric d'e-HRM i que ha derivat en un model de processos optimitzat que té en compte els requisits tècnics de RRHH així com les limitacions de la nova tecnologia del núvol. Posteriorment, es va entrevistar a diversos experts en RRHH que ja havien adquirit experiència de primera mà amb els processos de RRHH en un entorn de núvol per esbrinar quins factors d'èxit eren rellevants per a aquesta transformació de RRHH. Les principals conclusions d'aquesta tesi són la derivació d'un model de procediment de projecte de millors pràctiques per a la transformació dels processos de RRHH en una solució basada en el núvol i la identificació d'obstacles potencials en la implementació d'aquests projectes. A més, s'elaboren els motius de la transformació, els factors que impulsen el procés dins d'una organització, el grau actual de digitalització dels recursos humans, els paràmetres operatius i estratègics necessaris i, en última instància, l'impacte en els mètodes de treball . Com a resultat, es realitza una avaluació de l'ús de les mètriques de HR i es deriven nous ràtios potencials.
[EN] The digitisation of HR processes into cloud-based solutions is progressing continuously. This thesis examines such transformations, derives a concrete process model and identifies the critical success factors. The methodology used for the investigation is of a qualitative nature. As a basis and preparatory measure to address the research questions, an extensive literature study in the HR field was carried out, with a special focus on publications on electronic human resources management (hereinafter e-HRM). Based on this knowledge and the combination of extensive practical experience with HR transformation projects, a study was published which presents the historical development of e-HRM and derived an optimised process model taking into account the technical HR requirements as well as the limitations of the new cloud technology. Subsequently, several HR experts who had already gained first-hand experience with HR processes in a cloud environment were interviewed to find out which success factors were relevant for such an HR transformation. Main findings of this thesis are the derivation of a best-practice project procedure model for the transformation of HR processes into a cloud-based solution and the identification of potential obstacles in the implementation of such projects. In addition, the motives for such a transformation, the drivers within an organisation, the current degree of HR digitisation, the necessary operational and strategic parameters and ultimately the impact on working methods are worked out. As a further result, an assessment of the use of HR metrics is given and potential new key figures are derived.

Full textHigher education related to tourism has emerged as a result of strengthening human resource management and the competitiveness in the tourism industry. The objective of this study is to examine how HR managers value an academic degree in their recruitment process. From a hermeneutic analysis, the goal of the study is also to gain insight into managers' perception of educational and skills needs in their industry today. The empirical result of this study consists of four interviews with HR executives from the travel industry and the meeting industry. A fifth interview was also made with a senior university lecturer from Etour as an important contribution of knowledge. The result showed that the valuation of an academic degree in the recruitment process is determined by the kind of tourism employment and location or position. In key positions with core competencies it’s required an academic degree. The results also showed that vocational training and work experience is valued, while the ability to work their way up from certain positions through internal recruitment also is common
