Does gender integration contribute to a more equal organization? (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien är att undersöka och analysera arbetssituationen för män och kvinnor i en könsintegrerad organisation utifrån ett genusperspektiv. Studien har genomförts på en enhet inom en könsintegrerad organisation i Sverige. Åtta respondenter varav fyra män samt fyra kvinnor från den studerade organisationen har medverkat genom digitala semistrukturerade intervjuer. Studiens teoretiska ramverk presenterar teorier och tidigare forskning gällande genus, könssegregation, möjlighetsstrukturer samt organisationskultur och normer. Resultatet visar att enheten har en jämlik möjlighetsstruktur och att organisationen arbetar med insatser för att öka inkluderingen samt jämställdheten. Dock visar även resultatet att det finns en könssegregation inom enheten samt en manlig kultur och norm som formar de manliga och kvinnliga medarbetarna. Tidigare forskning gällande arbetssituationen för män och kvinnor är till största del fokuserad på mansdominerade samt kvinnodominerade yrken. En slutsats av resultatet visar att könssegregering även förekommer i könsintegrerade organisationer. Ytterligare en slutsats av studiens resultat visar att den manliga kulturen samt den manliga normen ligger till grund för den könsmarkering som förekommer inom enheten. Denna studie bidrar till en grund för vidare forskning inom området, eftersom det finns en brist av forskning inom könsintegrerade organisationer är vidare forskning inom ämnet betydelsefullt för att belysa hur könsintegration påverkar män och kvinnors arbetssituation i en större utsträckning.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of the study is to investigate and analyze the work situation for men and women in a gender-integrated organization from a gender perspective. The study was conducted at a unit within a gender-integrated organization in Sweden. Eight respondents, of which four men and four women from the studied organization have participated through digital semi-structured interviews. The study's theoretical framework presents theories and previous research regarding gender, gender segregation, opportunity structures as well as organizational culture and norms. The results show that the unit has an equal opportunity structure and that the organization works with initiatives to increase inclusion and gender equality. However, the results also show that there is a gender segregation within the unit as well as a male culture and norm that shapes the male and female employees. Previous research regarding the work situation for men and women is largely focused on male-dominated and female-dominated occupations. A conclusion from the results shows that gender segregation also occurs in gender-integrated organizations. Another conclusion of the result from the study shows that the male culture and the male norm form the basis for the gender marking that occurs within the unit. This study contributes to a foundation for further research in the field, as there is a lack of research within gender-integrated organizations, further research in the subject is important to create an understanding of how gender integration affects men and women's work situation to a greater extent.
