Full text in Research Archive Show summary
In this chapter, the authors examine critically the rise of global indexes and ask how they helped build and shape the idea of Nordic gender exceptionalism, as the region's members moved from being Cold War-era 'middle way countries' to the 'top of the world' in the age of globalization. In so doing, the authors make two principal arguments: that indexes powerfully and peculiarly shape the discourse on Nordic gender exceptionalism and that their constructive limitations and constituent power are often underplayed in policy discussions. Moving beyond the role of indexes in diffusing and strengthening Nordic gender exceptionalism, some comments on the broader power of indexes on shaping the people understanding of Nordic gender equality are warranted. They argued that global indexes may contribute to the shaping of Nordic gender exceptionalism in two discrete ways. It is argued that some caution should be exercised in their naïve reception and use.

This study explores notions of callinging in management careers in faithbased and religious organisations. What are the similarities and differences between managers’ understanding of their work as a calling in these two types of organisation? How do they negotiate calling in their work? We use interview data from nine middle managers in a faithbased hospital and nine deans in the Evangelical-Lutheran Church of Norway. The article builds on cross-disciplinary literature on callinging in working life. We theorise,by using comparisons,how notions of calling are resources for managers when they negotiate identity. Our findings show that the hospital managers respond to the modern meaning making calling as emanating from with in and outside, while the deans also experience the traditional religious calling from above. Such notions blend in our conceptualisation of calling as pluralistic, biographical and present-oriented. Both categories of managers report that their transition in to management is guided by an orientation to serve and to promote organisational mission and values.

Purpose – The hospital sector has expanded in Norway with reforms and a strong demand for better management. In this article, we examine: 1) how this has affected physicians and nurses in management, 2) how management roles in hospitals are changing, and 3) how these two professions are tackling their new roles. Methodology – The article presents a review of the secondary literature and a case study undertaken in the spring, 2012. Findings – In Norway, two reforms have been introduced aimed at creating stronger management positions with less professional influence. The leader has full responsibility for a particular unit, which means that the jurisdiction of managers has expanded and that management has become more time consuming. Physicians – traditionally those in charge of hospitals – are facing competition from other professions, especially nursing, which has gained representation in top management positions, particularly at middle management level. Originality/value – The originality of this paper is the comparison of the evolvement of management among physicians and nurses since the reforms. While the medical profession was critical of management to begin with, i.e. viewing management positions as a trap, it is gradually adapting to the new ideas. Physicians are facing competition from nurses, who readily adjust to the new conditions, and perceive management as a new career track.

The paper contributes to the literature of multi-level welfare governance and public accountability in the context of recent European hospital reforms. Focusing on the changing dynamics between regional and central governance of hospitals in Germany, Norway and Denmark, we raise concerns about the reshaping of traditional public accountability mechanisms. We argue that, triggered by growing financial pressures, corporatization and professionalization processes have increasingly removed decisionmaking power from regional political bodies in hospital funding and planning. National governments have tightened their control over the overall trajectory of their hospital systems, but they have also shifted significant responsibility downwards to the hospitallevel. This has reshaped public accountability relationships towards more managerial or professional types of accountability embedded within multi-level forms of governance.

Psykisk helsearbeid skal være lokalbasert, samkjørt, brukerorientert, og basert på beste praksis. Målet med dette essayet er å utforske hvordan psykiske helsearbeidere forholder seg til myndighetenes krav om effektiv, standardisert og riktig behandling, og praksisfeltets antatte normer om individualisert og god behandling. Ettersom behandlingslinjer, kliniske retningslinjer og veiledere representerer verktøy for beste praksis, benevnes disse som evidensoppskrifter. Konklusjon: Psykiske helsearbeidere velger oftere fagideologiske begrunnelser fremfor forskningsbaserte, de er positive til brukermedvirkning, men har problemer med å omsette dette til handling, og de vegrer seg mot å anvende evidensoppskrifter. For å opprettholde sin posisjon må den psykiske helsearbeideren gå en balansegang mellom skreddersøm og konfeksjon av tjenesteproduksjon.

In this report we investigate how three major reforms in the Norwegian welfare sector changed accountability relationships. The reforms in question were the NAV reform of the welfare administration that Norway passed in 2005 and implemented through 2009, the hospital reform of 2002 and reforms of the immigration administration from 2001 onwards: The NAV reform, the hospital reform, and the immigration reform.

I dette notatet undersøker vi hvordan to store reformer i den norske velferdsstaten har endret ansvarsrelasjoner. Reformene som studeres er NAV reformen som ble vedtatt i 2005 og gjennomført fram til 2009 og sykehusreformen som ble innført i 2002. NAV reformen slo sammen trygdeetaten og arbeidsmarkedsetaten og etablerte et lokalt partnerskap med kommunene når det gjaldt sosialhjelp. Sykehussreformen overførte eierskapene av sykehusene fra fylkeskommunen til staten og omdannet sykehusene til helseforetak. I dette paperet kartlegges i hvilken grad formelle ansvarsrelasjoner ble endret i forbindles med reformen og hvordan de fungerer i praksis. Men spesifikt rettes søkelyset mot følgende ansvarsrelasjoner: politisk ansvar, administrativt ansvar, legalt ansvar, profesjonelt ansvar og sosilat ansvar. Vi viser at de faktiske ansvarsrelasjonene ikke alltid er tett koplet til de formelle. Det avdekkes et komplekst og sammensatt ansvarsmønster hvor ulike ansvarsrelasjoner supplerer hverandre.
