Abstract [sv]

Organisationer kan inte kringgå att de lever i en värld med en global konkurrens vars överlevnad riskeras om de inte fokuserar på det ständiga förbättringsarbetet. Skiftet till den hybrida arbetsplatsen som har blivit alltmer populärt har medfört både stora och små förändringar för inte bara ledare men även för medarbetare i organisationer. En av förutsättningarna för ett framgångsrikt förbättringsarbete är att ledare lyckas med sitt engagemang få medarbetare att vara delaktiga. Syftet med denna studie har varit att fördjupa kunskapen kring att leda just arbetet med ständiga förbättringar vid hybrid arbetssätt. För att uppnå studiens syfte valde författarna att utgå från en kvalitativ ansats med semistrukturerade intervjuer av ledare och kvalitativa enkäter som medarbetarna i organisationen fick svara på. Resultatet visade delvist att organisationen värdesätter öppet kommunikationsklimat och tydliga, men även engagerade ledare eftersom det har medarbetare som är i behov av att bli uppmärksammade och sedda. Resultatet visar också att majoriteten av organisationens ledare och medarbetare saknar tydlighet när det gäller deras strategiska kvalitetsutvecklingsarbete.

Abstract [en]

Organizations cannot avoid the fact that they live in a world with increased global competition where they risk their survival if they do not focus on working with continuous improvements. The shift to the hybrid workplace that has become increasingly popular has brought both big and small changes for not only leaders but also employees in organisations. One of the prerequisites for successful improvement work is that leaders with their commitment succeed in getting employees to participate. The main focus for this study has been to deepen the knowledge around leading the work with continuous improvements in the hybrid workplace. To achieve the purpose of the study, the authors chose a qualitative approach that was obtained with semi-structured interviews of leaders and with a qualitative survey that the employees in the organisation got to answer. The results showed that the organisation values an open communication climate, clear but also committed leaders because their employees need to be noticed and seen. The result also shows that most of the leaders and employees within the organisation lack clarity regarding their strategic quality development work.
