Abstract [en]

Following the outbreak of the Corona pandemic in the spring of 2020, the Public Health Agency of Sweden issued a recommendation that everyone who had the opportunity should work from home. It is the employer´s responsibility to create conditions for good occupational health in conjunction with remote work. A tool in the work of creating conditions for good occupational health is a policy document. In the light of the study's theoretical starting point, the demand, control and support model, a policy document should contain aspects of demands, control and support in order to contribute to creating conditions for good occupational health.   The aim of this study is to analyze how aspects related to demands, control and support are expressed in policies for remote work at Swedish universities with the intention of preventing risk factors for work-related ill health. The study is based on policy documents from 29 of 30 Swedish universities. A content analysis based on the demand, control and support model was conducted. The results showed that there were aspects of demand, control and support in the policy documents. However, an imbalance emerged between the aspects. This is mainly because it seemed easier for the universities to describe physical aspects, such as lending of office furniture, than to capture and express more abstract aspects such as a sense of control. Balance and volatile aspects can be subjective and difficult to assess due to the social context that surround workers which may have led to an imbalance between the aspects of demand, control and support in the policy documents.
