Abstract Synopsis

  • The study evaluates a six-year intervention program in the Swedish public sector aimed at improving working conditions and reducing sickness absence, highlighting challenges in organizational work environment management such as resource allocation and role conflicts.
  • Through mixed-method research, including interviews and analysis of submitted applications, the study observed a shift in mental models towards viewing work environment issues from an organizational rather than individual perspective, leading to an increase in organizational-level interventions from 39% in 2017 to 89% in 2022.
  • The application process was refined over time based on lessons learned, addressing stakeholder competence and resource issues, which contributed to the organizational shift and more measures being implemented at the organizational level.]
