Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur chefer med förtroendearbetstid upplever balansen mellan arbete och privatliv. Studien baserades på en induktiv kvalitativ design där åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes i tre olika organisationer via en digital plattform. Den insamlade data transkriberades och analyserades genom tematisk analys. Insamlat material genererade fyra huvudteman och nio underteman. Resultatet visade att det fanns både en upplevelse av en god balans mellan arbete och privatliv där utmärkande upplevelser som hade betydelse för balansen var flexibilitet och kontroll över sin arbetstid. Balansen tenderade att variera under stressiga perioder. Bland respondenterna fanns även en upplevelse av låg balans mellan arbete och privatliv, där stress och krav från chefer hade en betydande roll som innebar minskad möjlighet att spendera tid med deras familjer.

Abstract [en]

The aim of the study was to examine how managers with flexible work time experience their work life balance. The study was inductive and eight qualitative semi structured interviews were held in three different organizations through a digital platform. The collected data were transcribed and analyzed through thematic analysis. That resulted in a total of four themes and nine sub-themes. The result showed that the managers in general experienced a well balanced everyday life where distinguishing feelings that seemed to be important for the balance were flexibility and the possibility to control the working hours. The balance tended to fluctuate during stressful periods. Among the respondents, there were also an experience of low work life balance, where stress and demands from managers were important because it could mean a reduced opportunity to spend time with their families.
