Förändring inom Polisen – : en fallstudie ur ett medarbetarperspektiv

Sammanfattning: Background: The Swedish Police authorities have accomplished several changes the last years. We have studied one of these changes, the co-ordination of two supporting functions, economy and staffadministration at the Police authorities in Östergötland, Jönköping, Södermanland and SKL (Swedish crime technical laboratory). The initiative to this change was taken in 2002 and in 2003 a decision was made to create a joint servicecenter. Purpose: The purpose of this rapport is, in a collaborator perspective, to study the employees´ experiences of the change process. Method: The empirical material was collected throw interviews with the employees who have taken part in the change process. Even the leader of the project has been interviewed. Results: We have distinguished five central aspects in the change process. These are information/communication and understanding, the project leader, teamwork, timeaspect/reflexion and the leadership. Our opinion is that the employees´ totalexperience of the change process is positive. The reason to this is that the change strategy is based on high participation and influence which the employees have appreciated. An other reason is the meeting of two different contexts. By that we mean that during the change project a bureaucratic context came across the project context which was based on comprehensive view and flexibility. The employees thought that the project context was a challenge and they found it very inspiring.
