Our research
The research aims to increase knowledge regarding the effects and implementation of different types of improvement programs.
Although the projects are seemingly diverse they share certain common outlines. A main outline of the research is to combine knowledge concerning the process to change with the content of change in order to understand effects. Consequently, there is a significant emphasis on implementation aspects, i.e., how to introduce and conduct interventions in practice. In addition, we aim to contribute to the understanding of how we know if an change is improvement and not only a change, or no change at all. We also develop methods that help to uncover what works for whom when. In other words, we want to contribute to evaluation methodology.
Furthermore, an additional main outline of our research is to examine how different organizational improvement projects affect employees' work situation and work-related health as well as the organization's competitiveness. We relate changes in the staff's perception of a work situation to the social impact, that is, what effects these changes will have on the clients, patients, users etc.
