Implementering av en värdegrund : - En kvalitativ studie om medarbetares uppfattning om en organisations värdegrundsarbete

Sammanfattning: Based on last years events that have taken place, events on the school Lundbergs and the police values of work, has the meaning of having a set of values been questioned. This study aimed to investigate and answer the fundamental values based on the common value basis for the government employees within an organization and how it perceived by employees. The new institutional theory was the framework for this qualitative study conducted with semi-structured interviews. Respondents were employees within the organization. Ethnographic qualitative methodology was the basis for our methodology and we used a thematic model of theme interpretation, communication and knowledge in our analysis. The study shows that there is a lack of communication regarding values and work values within the organization. It’s up to the employees themselves as individuals to become aware of the values and keep their work tied to it. It also emerged in the study that employees had little knowledge of the common core values of the civil service as an employee in the organization should assume in their daily work. The reason for this may be that values are general and can be perceived as self-evident principles, and this is a natural part of their work. Moreover, the study showed that there was a difference between employees who have been employed for quite some time and relative newcomers. Those employees who have been employed for quite some time possessed more knowledge about the values and values work.
