Kort presentation
Min forskning rör organisation, ledarskap och arbetsvillkor inom socialtjänsten. Senare studier har rört övergången från utbildningen till yrkesliv och förberedelsen för yrkeslivet. Ett annat spår rör hur yrkesrollen har utvecklats och ledarrollen. De senaste externfinansierade projekten har haft fokus på vad som bidrar till arbetstillfredsställelse samt till friska arbetsplatser, samtalsträning för socionomer med hjälp av AI och arbetsvillkor för socionomer i de nordiska länderna.
Nyckelord
- arbetsmiljö
- ledarskap
- socionom
- socialt arbete
- yrkesverksamma
- socionomers professionsidentitet
