Att motivera och inspirera till utvecklingsarbete med hjälp av goda exempel

by Sundman, Maria

How do you manage to create the right conditions for the municipal administrations in Brynäs, Gävle, to use each others good examples in developing their work procedures considering influence, participation, equality between the sexes and diversity? This study has, with interviews, surveyed good examples in the different administrations. The good examples have then been spread to all administrations for knowledge. The good examples have mainly considered influence and participation. Very few efforts have been made considering equality between the sexes and diversity, mainly due to lack of reflection of the matter and lack of insight of the problem or. A questionnaire was used to find out how well spread the good examples were in the administrations. The questionnaire showed that slightly less than half of the respondents had taken part of the good examples, but there were no signs of that the administrations had start to use any of the good examples. 3 One conclusion is that it is important to have problem insight to be motivated to change. By showing what does not work satisfyingly through education, leading an open discussion about improvements and clarify why one ought to develop the work procedures, would increase the motivation to change. If the management supports the good examples, and reward those who learn from others, that would promote to create a work environment where it is natural to point out the positive examples and learn from each other.
