After a decade of action research: Impactful systems improvement in Swedish healthcare
This chapter illustrates the application over a decade of action research in the Swedish healthcare arena. Its focal question of how to deliver high quality, equitable and efficient care to an aging population – what is termed integrated care for the elderly – is one of the most central issues facing the future development of healthcare systems in all advanced economies. Countering early systems change approaches that entailed a rational, predete…
Trade unions and action research
There is little or no tradition of action research outputs reaching the mainstream industrial relations and work sociology literatures. The aim of this research note is to address why this is so and argue for an action research agenda for work with unions that entails the researcher assuming the role of change agent to facilitate union capacity building or developing workplaces for better jobs. A key issue is how such an agenda can be advanced th…
Employability and the ICT worker: A study of employees in Scottish small businesses
This article reports on the changing nature of employment and employability for high-tech workers in Scotland over the last decade. A somewhat stagnated industry has led to extrinsic rewards such as a good work–life balance, being prioritised over creative work and skills development. The sector is now dominated by small, specialist organisations providing limited training for the few remaining graduates

We argue that the new relationships, actor conceptions and in some cases forms of work organization arising from the change process have been socially constructed through the discursive interventions of the researchers. This has largely occurr…

Design/methodology/approach Based on observations and interview data at knowledge‐based firms in the UK, the paper looks at the extent to which employees are “rewarded” with the offer of creative work and the degree to which this offer really involves greater benefits for employees in terms of profes…
