Abstract [sv]

Allt snabbare förändringar i samhället ställer krav på att organisationerna hänger med i dessa förändringar; att de anpassar sig och utvecklar sig för att bibehålla sitt existensberättigande. Ett sätt att möta dessa utmaningar kan vara att arbeta med offensiv kvalitetsutveckling som karaktäriseras av kulturen och de värderingar den bygger på samt systemsynen. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur denna typ av värderingar kan integreras i verksamheten.

Vid studien tillämpades kvalitativ forskningsmetod med abduktiv slutledning. Studien utformades som en enfallstudie och datainsamling skedde genom semistrukturerade intervjuer, dokumentstudier samt studier av audiovisuella data.

Resultatet visade att värderingar för kvalitetskultur kan integreras i organisationens egen värdegrund samt policys samt att värderingar kan kopplas ihop med visionen. Värderingarna kan vidare levandegöras i organisationen genom en uppsättning av arbetssätt och verktyg. Studien visade även att värderingar för kvalitetskultur kan integreras i verksamheten i olika faser.

Abstract [en]

Increasingly rapid changes in society mean that organizations need to constantly adapt and develop, this is central to their continued existence. One way to meet these challenges can be to implement and apply Total Quality Management that is characterized by the culture and the values on which it is based, as well as the system view. The purpose of the study was to investigate how this type of values can be integrated into the organizations. 

The study applied a qualitative research method with abductive approach. The study was designed as a single case study and data collection took place through semi-structured interviews, document studies and studies of audiovisual data. 

The results showed that values for quality culture can be integrated into the organization's own core values and policies, and that values can be linked to the vision. The values can also be brought to life in the organization through a set of working methods and tools. The study also showed that values for quality culture can be integrated into the organizations in different phases
