Abstract [en]

The aim of this thesis is to gain knowledge on personal resources for archival work at smaller state authorities. Questionnaire survey via e-mail targeted smaller state authorities with maximal number of employees of 60 persons as well as interviews with 6 volunteers using a digital tool were performed. The target group of my research was those who had practical responsibilities for archival work duties at his or her authority no matter which professional title they had.

The result showed that most common professional title among the respondents was registrar. How much of duty hours they used for the archival work varied greatly among the respondents. They actively used recourses outside of their authorities to handle their problems or challenges within archival work and appreciated networks of different kinds. According to the survey, almost all the respondents regarded that their authorities had enough resources for archival work as well as their management or boss had good understanding of archival work. However, the reply rate of the survey at 55 % should be taken into consideration when examining the results.

The result even showed that respondents had enough opportunity to skill development within archival work in almost all the cases. Analysis of the target group’s conditions for skill development using Ellström’s four theoretical perspectives showed very strong feature of the humanistic perspective, which means for example that skill development is regarded as a part of official business and is usually planned through unofficial process such as planning dialogues.

Abstract [sv]

Syftet med min undersökning är att skapa kunskap om personalresurs för arkivarbete hos mindre statliga myndigheter. Enkätundersökning via e-post som riktades mot mindre statliga myndigheter som begränsades med antal anställda max 60 samt intervju via ett digitalt verktyg med 6 respondenter som frivilligt ställde upp för intervju genomfördes. Målgruppen av min undersökning var personer som hade praktiskt ansvar för arkivarbete på myndigheten oavsett yrkestitel.

Resultatet visade att mest förekommande yrkestitel bland respondenterna var registrator. Hur mycket av tjänstetid de ägnade sig åt arkivarbete varierade stort bland respondenterna. Respondenterna använde flitigt resurser utanför myndigheten för att bemöta problem eller utmaningar inom arkivarbete och uppskattade nätverk och samverkan av olika slag. Enligt enkätundersökningen ansåg de flesta respondenterna att deras myndigheter hade tillräckligt mycket resurs samt att ledningen eller chefen hade god förståelse för arkivarbete. Man ska dock ta hänsyn till att svarsfrekvensen av enkätundersökningen var 55% när man analyserar resultatet.

Resultatet visade även att respondenter i de allra flesta fall hade tillräckligt mycket möjlighet för kompetensutveckling inom arkivarbete. Analys av målgruppens förutsättning för kompetensutveckling med hjälp av Ellströms fyra teoretiska perspektiv visade starkt prägel av det humanistiska perspektivet, vilket innebär bland annat att kompetensutveckling ses som en del av verksamheten som ofta planeras genom informella processer som planeringssamtal.
