Work-life balance in a changeable society : The employer's responsibility and initiatives (English)
Abstract [en]

The high pressure on employees today is resulting in a greater need of balance regarding all of life's demands than ever before, this leads to a fact that employers need to work with balance to create a sustainable workforce, but also for attracting competent employees. To contribute within this area the studied aimed to describe the relationship between employee's preferences and which organizational work-life support efforts employees think will help them create WLB. To describe this relationship quantitative cross-sectional research was conducted with focus on achieving broad trends. The data collection took place in the form of a survey of 139 respondents. In the analysis of the material, all respondents were assigned a preference based on four types of boundaries linked to place, time, relationships and psychological boundaries and an overall preference. These were linked to 20 employer initiatives that employers can work with to promote employees' WLB. The analysis revealed that there was no connection between people's overall preference and most of the WLB employer initiatives that were examined. There was also no correlation between preferences for the different boundaries for place, time, relationships and psychological boundaries and the employer initiatives that were linked to the same boundary. However, there was an overall trend among the respondents that integrating employer initiatives was considered helpful for them to create WLB. This led to the conclusion that there was no significant relationship between preference and what employer initiatives an employee considers help them create WLB, but that the opinion probably is linked to the overall trend for integration into society.

Abstract [sv]

Den höga pressen på medarbetare gör att behovet av att balansera alla livets krav idag är högre än någonsin och detta är något som arbetsgivare behöver arbeta med för att både skapa en hållbar arbetskraft, och för att attrahera kompetenta medarbetare. För att bidra med kunskap inom området var syftet med denna studie därför att beskriva sambandet mellan medarbetares preferenser och vilka arbetsgivarinsatser de anser hjälper dem skapa WLB. För att beskriva detta samband utfördes en kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie med fokus på att nå breda trender. Datainsamlingen skedde i form av en enkätundersökning av 139 respondenter. I analysen av materialet tilldelades alla respondenter en preferens baserat på fyra typer av gränser kopplade till plats, tid, relationer och psykologiska gränser och en övergripande preferens. Dessa kopplades samman med 20 arbetsgivarinsatser som arbetsgivare kan arbeta med för att främja medarbetares WLB. I analysen framkom det att det inte fanns något samband mellan människors övergripande preferens och de flesta av de undersökta WLB arbetsgivarinsatserna. Det visades inte heller någon korrelation mellan preferenser för de olika gränssättningarna för plats, tid, relationer och psykologiska gränser och arbetsgivarinsatser som var kopplade till samma gräns. En övergripande trend fanns dock bland respondenterna att de ansåg att integrerande arbetsgivarinsatser hjälper dem att skapa WLB. Detta ledde till slutsatsen att det inte fanns ett betydande samband mellan preferens och vilka arbetsgivarinsatser en medarbetare anser hjälper hen skapa WLB, men att åsikten har en koppling till den övergripande trenden för integrering i samhället.
