Trots att jobbannonser ofta utgör det första intrycket av en organisation, används de sällan som ett strategiskt kommunikationsverktyg. Tidigare forskning har till största del fokuserat på kandidaters uppfattning kring organisationers attraktivitet, medan den här studien intar ett avsändarperspektiv och undersöker spänningen mellan organisationers strategiska employer branding och LinkedIns plattfAlthough job advertisements often provide the first impression of an organization, they are rarely treated as a strategic communication tool. Previous research has largely focused on the candidates’ perception of how attractive organizations are, while this study takes on a sender perspective and examines the tension between organizations’ strategic employer branding and LinkedIn’s platform logic

Studien undersökte sambandet mellan upplevt grupptryck i arbetsrelaterade sammanhang och arbetstagande studenters benägenhet att uttrycka avvikande åsikter. En kvantitativ tvärsnittsdesign tillämpades med en online-enkät som empirisk datainsamlingsmetod. Urvalet bestod av arbetstagande universitetsstudenter i Sverige, och datainsamlingen genererade 116 svar. Resultatet indikerade en positiv signifThe study explored peer pressure in an organizational context, and how it relates to the individual's tendency to express deviant opinions. The correlation was examined using a quantitative cross-sectional design, along with a digital survey to gather data. The sample consisted of employed university students in Sweden, and the survey generated 116 responses. The results implied a significant

The purpose of this thesis is to explore how digital transformation (DT) and its rapid development have affected corporations’ experience of horizontal organizational resistance to digital change. The study builds on qualitative semi-structured interviews and applies an abductive approach and a social constructionist perspective. The findings suggest horizontal resistance is prominently affecting

Research question: How do employees adapt to, negotiate, and work around digital monitoring systems in their everyday work practices? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how hourly employees within a fitness organization perceive and respond to digital surveillance and algorithmic management, specifically analyzing how these systems shape experiences of autonomy, stress, and c

Generative AI (GenAI) tools have seen rapid adoption in software development teams, yet research has focused almost exclusively on individual-level outcomes such as productivity and task completion speed. The consequences for how teams coordinate expertise remain unexplored. This study examines what the affordances and constraints of GenAI tools are for software development teams and how they inte

This thesis examines how ordinary users on Zhihu, a Chinese question-and-answer platform, debate whether wearing Japanese kimono is appropriate in Nanjing, a city marked by the memory of the 1937 Nanjing Massacre. Based on qualitative content analysis of 200 answers and mixed-method reply network analysis of 4,570 comments on Zhihu, the thesis makes two main arguments. First, the dispute is not on

Municipalities play a key role in the transition towards sustainable mobility, yet they are expected to reduce transport-related emissions while maintaining accessibility, urban growth and mobility. This study examines how sustainable mobility is problematized in municipal planning and explores the goal conflicts that emerge in the transition towards a more sustainable transport system. Through a

This qualitative study investigates ecological, socioeconomic and governance-related factors that need to be accounted for in order for artificial coral reefs to be perceived as successful. The study is conducted through semi-structured interviews with local stakeholders in Zamboanguita and Dauin in the Philippines with non-profit organizations, representatives of the municipality of Zamboanguita,

In this study, six Swedish high school textbooks have been analysed based on how gender is represented within them. Earlier research done both inside and outside of Sweden suggests there is an underrepresentation of women among physics textbooks, and that this underrepresentation may deter them from furthering their careers within physics. The study was done with mixed methods, both a quantitative

As a result of global warming, the hydrological cycle is expected to intensify. With this follows an increase in precipitation, which is predicted to cause a growing frequency and level of pluvial flooding. Urban settlements will likely be affected the most, and with the continuing growth of cities, more people will be at risk of endangerment. Thus, it is of immense importance for cities to streng

The impoundment of hydroelectric reservoirs is associated with significant emissions of green house gases. In addition, the loss of the pre-flooded landscape is a substantial factor in the long-term carbon footprint of hydroelectric reservoirs. The Paix-des-Braves reservoir in Québec was one of the first reservoirs to be studied in regards of its total carbon footprint, combining pre- and post-imp

This thesis examines how non-binary people are challenged by gendered expectations in their families. From the perspective of standpoint feminism the experiences of six non-binary people are given voice to through qualitative group interviews. Aiming for a gentler approach to knowledge production, a reciprocal interview design was chosen, incorporating group exercises where participants where able

This research examines the consequences of disciplinary time, for the workers at Foxconn in China, based on the monograph “Dying for an iPhone” and poetry by former Foxconn worker Xu Lizhi. Grounded in Fouacauldin disciplinary theory, this research will exhibit what the apparatus of discipline looks like at Foxconn. It will focus on how physical and mental pain occurs when capitalism uses time as

Leaning on feminist abolitionist theory and Transformative Justice practice(s) this thesis seeks to contribute to practical knowledge on how to solve conflict and violence in communities, without the use of carceral logics, state punishment and police. Laying ground for the purpose of the thesis, I bring up central theory on carcerality, abolition and feminism to show the contested relationship be

This thesis examines how gender operates as a central discursive and hegemonic organizing principle in the construction of Danish radical right populism, with particular focus on the Danish People’s Party (Dansk Folkeparti) and the Citizens’ Party (Borgernes Parti). Drawing on Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis, the study investigates how textual, discursive

This study examines the underexposed standpoints of young leftist women* and nonbinaries at a time when the public conversation tends to focus on young men’s political shift to the right. The study seeks to explore how this group embodies resistance and hope in neoliberal times, through conversations about activism, the future and social justice, by which I hope to help outline alternatives to rig

This thesis examines contemporary Danish public discourse on fertility and demography, where anxiety over declining fertility among women of Danish origin coexists with anxiety over immigrants and their descendants becoming a future demographic majority. The empirical material consists of documents from and adjacent to Danmarks Statistik (2019–2025) and news coverage from Politiken and Danmarks Ra

L1_0-ordered thin-film FePd was measured using AFM, MFM, TEM, XRR and GISAXS to determine what defects were present and how they affected the X-ray scattering. In AFM it was found that there was a terrace structure, with surface steps going along the <110>-direction. These steps originated in dislocations moving from the Pd-FePd interface to the surface, which could be seen in the TEM. The layer t

This thesis examines how residential buildings from different construction periods perform during extended outages of heating, electricity, and ventilation. The purpose was to evaluate building robustness during crisis or war situations and identify technical measures that may improve building resilience. The study combined literature review with engineering calculations related to heat retention,
