Att arbeta med organisationen, inte för den : -en kvalitativ studie om upplevelser av delaktighet och engagemang på arbetet

Sammanfattning: This paper aims to examine a profession´s experiences of participation in change and engagement in work. How do the employees experience their participation in organizational changes and if, and if so, how, they think it affects their engagement at work? Our questions we started from were these: -How does the employees experience that participation in a change affects their engagement at work? - Is this experience different from the employees who have not participated as much in a change? A qualitative study in the form of eight individual interviews have been conducted, half of employees who have been directly involved in the change-project and half by employees who have been indirectly involved in the change-project. This is to see if there were any difference in the experienced engagement, depending on whether they participated or not. The qualitative results indicated that the respondents felt that the engagement of the work was greater if they got the chance to participate. The results also revealed that the concepts are related to each other, they often go hand in hand, and often work in harmony with each other.
