"Snälla, en omorganisation till!" : En kvalitativ studie om omorganisationens sidoeffekter

Sammanfattning: The starting point of the study has been the various research reports on how reorganizations affect the work environment in modern working life. With the aim of delving into the unwanted effects of the reorganization and the employees' strategies to deal with dissatisfaction, the study was conducted among employees in the social administration. By gathering knowledge with the help of qualitative research interviews, it was possible to delve into the employees' individual experiences of the ongoing reorganization and the practical measures to deal with difficult changes. Reorganization, dissatisfaction, and strategies to deal with deteriorating work quality have been the central theoretical topic of the study. Despite indications from previous research that the side effects of reorganization usually lead to dissatisfaction, there were different experiences among employees in relation to their age and work experience. It emerged in the results that employees' individual experiences of the reorganization are deeply connected to their perceptions and expectations of the workplace. The study reveals that the reorganization requires a more inclusive implementation that considers employees' individual self-perceptions and expectations.Keywords: Reorganization, dissatisfaction, exit, voice, loyalty
