Female HR staff : a qualitative study of job changes and career opportunities in HR (English)
Abstract [sv]

Denna kvalitativa studie fokuserar på att utforska de faktorer som driver kvinnlig HR personal att överväga att byta jobb inom HR-området och hur de uppfattar sinakarriärmöjligheter inom yrket, samt vilken betydelse har kön i dem möjligheter. Förankrad i teoretiska ramverk och begrepp som anställningsbarhet, status och erkännande, könets betydelse i arbetslivet och Herzbergs tvåfaktorteori om motivation, syftar studien till att få insikter i motivationen bakom en önskan om att byta jobb inom HR-området. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ forskningsdesign och semistrukturerade intervjuer med seniora HR- kvinnor som har bytt några roller eller organisationer. Studiens resultat visar att de främsta faktorerna som påverkar den kvinnliga HR-personalens val när det kommer till att byta arbetsplats handlar om en önskan om karriärutveckling, möjligheter till personlig och professionellutveckling, samt behovet av erkännande för sitt arbete. Det har även visat sig att kön kan påverka uppfattningen om HR som yrket, där vissa respondenter upplever att kön kan spela en roll i hur organisationer och samhället ser på deras yrkesroll.

Abstract [en]

This qualitative study focuses on exploring the factors that drive female HR professionals to consider changing jobs in the HR field and how they perceive their career opportunities within the profession, as well as the importance of gender in those opportunities. Anchored in theoretical frameworks and concepts such as employability, status and recognition, the importance of gender in working life and Herzberg's two-factor theory of motivation, the study aims to gain insights into the motivation behind a desire to change jobs in the HR field. The study is based on a qualitative research design and semi-structured interviews with senior HR women who have changed roles or organisations. The results of the study show that the main factors influencing the female HR staff's choice when it comes to changing workplaces are a desire for career development, opportunities for personal and professional development, and the need for recognition for their work. It has also been shown that gender can influence the perception of HR as a profession, where some respondents feel that gender can play a role in how organizations and society view their professional role.
