▼ Abstract The purpose of this research is to study identity construction in an ICT organization, which is generally seen as a flexible environment to be employed. The demise of a bureaucracy is generally seen as a positive thing. In new organizational forms employee participation is considered a central factor. The lack of boundaries in work brings not only freedom but also challenges. Organizations, tasks and people change constantly and employees find that they have to reconstruct their identities. This study is inductive, meaning that any theoretical frame was not chosen before doing the empirical analysis. The paradigm underlying narrative research is similar to constructivism in that human knowledge is not regarded as a coherent view of reality but as a plurality of small narratives, local and personal in nature, which are always under construction. The constructivist paradigm is based on the idea that social reality is socially constructed. This study contributes to identity narrative discussion and is thus current. Four different identity narratives are produced within this study: nostalgic, future-oriented, instrumental and chameleon narrative. Hence, the analysis resulted in four separate identity narratives. The relationship between the individual and the organization vary in each of the identity narratives. The empirical results also show that older employees produce more coherent identity stories and appear to be more committed to the organization. For younger employees the company is not as important, instead are more committed to their own career, family or something else. This is a significant result both theoretically and empirically. Theoretically it is interesting because it shows that in constructing identity, the organization does not have a central role. Empirically it means that the skilled employees might easily leave the organization if they feel they are not respected or if the organization does not support their personal careers. The present study provides evidence of narrativity supporting the construction of identity in a post-bureaucratic organization. Maintaining open dialogue requires open communication, which is not present in traditional, bureaucratic, top-down management. A post-bureaucratic organization allows for open dialogue in principle, but the time and space needed for narration in this environment is fragmented.

▼ Bureaucracy is dead and resistance is ineffective. That is, in summary, what some of the organization literature oriented to ‘post-bureaucracy’ would have us believe. As society has progressed to become post-industrial, such that a new knowledge economy has become as important, if not more important, as a source of economic growth, scholars have predicted the decline and death of the bureaucratic form to make way for the imminent arrival of a range of new technology-driven post-bureaucratic forms that embed rules and policy in systems. These systems are seen to obviate the need for overt controls and flatten hierarchies, dispense with physical offices and equipment by virtualising organization and dispense with the notion of career by turning organizations into short-term projects. As power moves from relatively explicit and overt coercive and manipulative modes to progressively more subtle dominating and subjectifying approaches, the acts of resistance that are the inevitable reactive consequences of such organizational exercises of power are also seen to become progressively more subtle. The problem for resistance to exercises of power designed to dominate and subjectify is that they often take the form of subjective mental escape attempts that amounts to little more than a letting off of steam with no real imposition on the source of power that is resisted that may also have the effect of further subjugating the resistant employee by ‘cooling’ them out. A theory of polyarchic bureaucracy offers a way out for both bureaucracy and resistance as a form of organization that permits resistance where it stands to improve organizational practices without disturbing established power structures. This study responds to a call for further research on polyarchic bureaucracy by taking advantage of an unusual opportunity to observe an organization from its genesis to the present day. A multi-faceted qualitative analysis is made of interview data and a range of found data that includes meeting transcripts, chat-room logs, mailing list discussions and Internet forums. In seeking to study the Gentoo Linux Project as “something… normal, Just a different kind of normal”, insights are uncovered that would have remained hidden had this “weird, exotic” organization been presented as a mere “sociological freak show”. Key findings are that the theory of polyarchic bureaucracy is supported, that polyarchic bureaucracy may extend to permit resistance on the part of both individuals and groups that fundamentally alters both power relations and organization structure, and that widely shared vocabularies of motive in OSS communities may misrepresent the ‘true’ motives of individuals operating in gift economies.

Problem - How does management look within a post bureaucracy, when there is room for freedom under responsibility. Where there is flexibility rather than structure, to promote the creativity of the employees. Purpose - The purpose is to investigate and give an increased understanding of how a organization with post-bureaucratic characteristics in the project and construction management industry works from a management and control perspective. Method - Data collection is done through five semi-structured interviews. The interviews include three different work roles within Forsen, which are management, employees and consultants. Data is analyzed with the support of previous research and theories to answer the study's purpose. Conclusion - The study showed that Forsen considers themselves to be a non-hierarchical organization that runs their employees to make their own decisions. Where freedom under responsibility is central to the organizational structure, which reflects a post-bureaucratic organization. The management within the organization takes place through a predetermined project plan and a process description. There were important factors such as time, finances and results, and it served as a governing document that employees needed to relate to. These forms of governance also provide incentives for them to be classified as a neobureaucracy. This is due to how one chooses to look at the various instruments since these can be perceived as rules which symbolize the traditional bureaucracy. A link between freedom and rules provides the opportunity for the neo-bureaucratic form of organization.

Problem - Hur ser styrningen ut inom en postbyråkrati, när det lämnas utrymme för frihet under ansvar, där det förekommer flexibilitet snarare än struktur, för att främja kreativitet hos medarbetarna. Syfte - Syftet är att undersöka och ge en ökad förståelse hur en organisation inom projekt- och byggledningsbranschen med postbyråkratiska karaktärsdrag fungerar ur ett lednings- samt styrningsperspektiv. Metod - Datainsamlingen sker genom fem semistrukturerade intervjuer. Intervjuerna omfattar tre olika arbetsroller inom Forsen vilket är ledning, anställda och konsulter. Data analyseras med stöd av tidigare forskning och teorier för att besvara studiens syfte. Slutsats - Studien visade att Forsen anser sig som en icke-hierarkisk organisation som uppmanar sina anställda att fatta egna beslut. Där frihet under ansvar är centralt i organisationsstrukturen, vilket speglar en postbyråkratisk organisation. Styrningen inom organisationen sker genom en förutbestämd projektplan och en processbeskrivning. Där viktiga faktorer som tid, ekonomi och resultat fanns med och det fungerade som ett styrande dokument som de anställda behövde förhålla sig till. Dessa former av styrning ger även incitament av att de kan klassas som en neobyråkrati. Detta beror på hur man väljer att se på de olika styrmedel då dessa kan uppfattas som regler vilket symboliserar den traditionella byråkratin. En…

Bakgrund: Ur den kritik som sedan 50-talet formulerats mot den byråkratiska “mekaniska” organisationsformen har en utveckling mot mer “organiska” organisationsformer skett. Detta har tillsammans med den tekniska utvecklingen, som under de senaste årtiondena fortskridit, kommit att förändra många verksamheter. Begreppet post-byråkrati har i många sammanhang blivit ett samlingsnamn för dessa nya organisationsformer. Även om organisationer i mångt och mycket framhålls som mer post-byråkratiska, alltså flexibla, nätverkande och decentraliserade, finns det argument för att särskilt mellanchefers arbete och roll inte har förändrats i samma utsträckning och att byråkratin upprätthålls. Det talar för att det förekommer ett glapp mellan föreställning och verklighet. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att beskriva hur ett post-byråkratiskt chefsbeteende gestaltas i organisationer som utger sig för att vara post-byråkratiska. Metod: Studien har genomförts med utgångspunkt i en kvalitativ forskningsansats där semistrukturerade intervjuer och observationer har tillämpats. Detta eftersom syftet var att studera fenomenet på djupet snarare än att producera numerisk data och se samband. Respondenterna utgjordes av sex mellanchefer från två olika organisationer, tre chefer från respektive organisation. Urvalet av organisationerna baserades på ett antal uppställda kriterier. Resultat/slutsats: Studiens resultat visar att ett post-byråkratiskt chefsbeteende gestaltas som en hybrid mellan byråkratiska och post-byråkratiska kännetecken. Denna kombination gör sig synlig i alla studerade områden inom chefsbeteendet, såsom kommunikation, kontroll/styrning, beslutsfattande, ledarskapsstil och det interpersonella. Dock visar studien att beteendet hos de studerade mellancheferna tenderar att vara övervägande post-byråkratiskt.

Background: From the criticisms that have been formulated against the bureaucratic "mechanical" organizational form since the 1950s, there has been a development towards more "organic" forms of organization. This has along with the technological development, which has continued in recent decades, changed many enterprises. The concept of post-bureaucracy has in many contexts become a collective name for these new organizational forms. Although organizations are widely regarded as more post-bureaucratic, for example being flexible, networking and decentralized, there are arguments that the work and role of middle managers has not changed in the same extent and that bureaucracy is maintained. A gap between assumption and reality seems to occur. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to describe how a post-bureaucratic managerial behavior is embodied in organizations claiming to be post-bureaucratic.Method: The study has been carried out on the basis of a qualitative research approach. Semi-structured interviews and observations have been applied, since the…

Omvärlden och marknaden kan idag tillskrivas som kundens, det är kunden som styr marknaden och sitter på makten. Till detta kan troligtvis en viss press föreligga hos organisatoriska ledare att finna en strategi som skapar värde för kunden. Sökandet efter det rätta arbetssättet inleds för att sedan sluta vid det agila arbetssättet som uppenbarar sig likt ett svar på alla problem. Praktiker blir förförda, underkastar sig en funktionell dumhet och implementerar det agila arbetssättet, utan ifrågasättande, dagen är räddad! Kanske måste förförda praktiker vakna från deras utopiska drömvärld, avsäga sig detta falska medvetande för att ställa sig frågan om ett arbetssätt som placerar kunden i centrum kan tillskrivas som hållbart. Syftet med denna uppsats är att öka förståelsen och konceptualisering av situationen för medarbetarens situation i relation till det agila arbetssättet ur ett hållbarhetsperspektiv. Fördelar och nackdelar med det agila arbetssättet synliggörs för att härledas till hållbarhetsprinciper och medarbetarens roll samt situation. Studien har genomförts genom ett etnografiskt tillvägagångssätt, där observationer, intervjuer samt enkäter har triangulerat problemområdet. Studien kombinerar kvalitativ metod med kvantitativ metod för att synliggöra problemområdet ur flera kompletterande perspektiv. I studiens analys används medarbetarskapshjulet, gränsdragning samt kritisk teori som teoretiskt utgångsläge. Resultatet av studien visar att det agila arbetssättets hållbarhet kan ifrågasättas, utifrån medarbetares situation inom dess givna ramar. Arbetssättets kundfokusering och snabba anpassning till den föränderliga verkligheten utmanar engagerade medarbetare att göra sitt yttersta för att leverera högkvalitativa produkter. Det innebär utmaningar i gränsdragningen mellan arbete och fritid, varvid medarbetare ställs inför utmaningen att balansera arbete som ianspråktar tid även utanför arbetsplatsen. De engagerade medarbetarna upplevs löpa en högre risk att drabbas negativt om arbetet tillåts ta över stora delar av livet, uppsatsförfattarna ifrågasätter därför huruvida det agila arbetssättets hållbarhet är rimlig i förlängningen. Uppsatsens slutsats innefattar HEM, Hållbart Engagerade Medarbetare, det vill säga att organisationer behöver arbeta för att ge sina medarbetare en situation som är hållbar i längden, även för de mest engagerade.

Today’s business world and the market belongs to the costumer. It is the costumer who is in charge of the market and holds the power. To this a degree of pressure is put on the organisational leaders, who are held to find the best method of creating value for the costumer. While searching for the best method, agile appears as an answer to all the problems and questions. Practitioners are swept away, seduced by the promising concept, gives in to a functional stupidity and implement the agile concept into their organisation, without questions. Agile saves the day! Perhaps these seduced practitioners must wake up from their utopian dream, take a…

Theoretical overview – 3. 1770s-1830s : The foundations of instrumentalism in Australia – 4. 1830s-1910s : A deepening instrumentalism – 5. 1910s-1950s : The intensification of developmentalism – 6. 1960s-1980s ; Science and environmentalism – 7. 1970s-1990s : non-instrumental science and post-modernism – 8. 1990s-2010s : Scientific knowledge and neoliberalism – 9. Conclusion.

Despite growing public concerns around socio-scientific problems and the significance of these problems to everyday life, there is a dearth of sociological literature addressing the production and diffusion of the natural sciences in Australia. In particular, critical analyses of scientific knowledge production and diffusion relative to the actions of the state, the market and civil society are largely absent. This thesis sets out to mitigate this situation by contributing a critical historiography of scientific knowledge production and diffusion as it relates to Australia since white settlement. It is anticipated that this work will open up the topic for further academic research and rational debate.

This thesis explores the production and diffusion of scientific knowledge through the lens of social dynamics that have emerged in Australia between the 1770s and the 2010s. The research relies primarily on the theoretical work of Max Weber in order to identify and analyse the conception of rationality and its application to social action that is present in the policy and praxis of the natural sciences in Australia. In particular, the relationships between the state, the market and civil society are analysed using secondary data drawn from published histories, official documents and the formal policies and practices of the state and the market during this period.

A tripartite analytical model has been created specifically for this thesis and is utilised to trace scientific knowledge production and diffusion through the transformative social processes associated with instrumentalism, bureaucratisation, developmentalism, environmentalism, postmodernism and neoliberalism. Rationality is applied in three ways: as non-instrumental science produced to further human understandings of the natural world and to promote the development of civil society; as pre-instrumental science produced by the state to in order to develop markets and for other instrumental purposes such as national defence strategies; and as instrumental scientific knowledge produced by the participants in the market expressly to enhance their own position in the market.

The research reveals that instrumental rationality has been an enduring concept in the policy and praxis of the natural sciences in Australia. Moreover, this thesis finds that a strong tension is often present between non-instrumental notions of scientific knowledge and those practices that are predominantly instrumental. Through each of the periods studied the state and the market have been close confederates, often…
