Formulering av HPWS i ideella föreningar : En studie om implementationsmöjligheter av HPWS i ensvensk esportförening

Sammanfattning: This study aims to examine and identify possibilities andprerequisites for implementing a High Performance Work System(HPWS) in a Swedish non-profit association’s operations. Theessay assumes a set of frameworks in the form of HPWS practiceswhich are defined in previous research in order to determine andevaluate the implementation possibilities in the association. Thestudy takes place in “SRL Spelförening”, a non-profit associationwhich conduct welfare processes in the form of esports in theSwedish grassroot scene. The association has during its lifespanundergone large changes within all aspects of its operation – notleast the structure of work processes, something that has meantthat many parts of the workflow are unorganized and unstructured.This study analyzes the current state of the association’sprocesses with a quantitative interview approach focused on a setof work-related variables. The data that is generated is then usedas a control tool when the association’s prevalent prerequisites ofHPWS are to be determined. The data was also applied in a linearregression model generating correlation coefficients among thework-related variables – information which in turn gets applied inorder to decide the association’s individual attitude to HPWS. Theanalysis points to the association generally meeting the HPWSrequirements which were cited in earlier research. Some aspectswere however determined to lie beneath the bar and thereforerequire changes in accordance with earlier similar HPWS relatedcases. Furthermore, the correlation results show that theassociation’s workers’ overall attitude towards HPWS was positive,where a higher appreciation of a HPWS was related to higherengagement and lower turnover intention.
