Office staff's perceived psychosocial work environment and workload (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien var att studera kontorspersonals upplevelser om psykosocial arbetsmiljö samt arbetsbelastning. Metoden som användes för insamling av data var semistrukturerade intervjuer. Intervjuerna, som var åtta till antalet, analyserades sedan med hjälp av induktiv tematisk analys. Urvalet bestod av kontorspersonal från både offentliga och privata organisationer. Resultatet visade att upplevelserna kring psykosocial arbetsmiljö samt arbetsbelastning hade en betydelse för hur intervjupersonerna mådde på arbetet. Slutsatsen blir att kontorspersonal, för att ha en bra psykosocial arbetsmiljö, behöver rimliga krav och resurser för att utföra sina arbetsuppgifter samt få stöd från chefer och kollegor. Även en balans mellan arbete och fritid behövs för att och kunna må bra på arbetet.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study was to study office workers’ experiences of the psychosocial work environment and workload. The method used for data collection was semi-structured interviews. There were eight interviews conducted, which were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. The sample consisted of office workers from both public and private sector organizations. The results showed that the experiences of the psychosocial work environment and workload were of importance on how the interviewees felt at work. The conclusion is that for office workers to have a good psychosocial work environment they need reasonable demands placed on them, resources to perform their tasks, and support from managers and colleagues. Also, a good work-life-balance is needed in order to feel good at work.
