IT-organisations towards 50/50-goal : A qualitative case study describing the configuration of IT-organisations activities in the recruitment process to reach an even gender distribution. (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: IT-branschen spelar en central roll för Sveriges ekonomiska tillväxt och räknas idag som enbasindustri. Trots att en inkludering av kvinnliga medarbetare är värdeskapande både ur ett socialt ochekonomiskt perspektiv är män överrepresenterade i IT-branschen idag. Rekryteringsprocessen är ennyckelprocess inom SHRM som kan utformas för att nå organisatoriska mål.

Syfte: Att beskriva IT-bolags utformning av aktiviteter i rekryteringsprocessen för att nå en mer jämlikkönsfördelning på arbetsplatsen.

Metod: Studien antar en induktiv ansats, dock med inslag av deduktion då en förförståelse omrekryteringsprocessens steg samt strategiskt HRM är framtagen. En fallstudie med nio semistruktureradeintervjuer har genomförts för att samla in relevanta empiriska data. En tematisk analys genomfördes föratt frambringa fem olika huvudteman som sedan förankrades i relevant teori. Den empiriska data ochteorin analyserades sedan tillsammans.

Slutsats: Studien frambringar tre aspekter; medvetenhet, marknadsföring och opartiskhet som allapåverkar utformandet av rekryteringsaktiviteter för att skapa en mer jämlik könsfördelning. Det framkomäven fyra utmaningar som kan hindra utformandet av aktiviteterna. Utformandet och utmaningarnagynnas av att verka i en SHRM-kontext.

A case study wasconducted with nine semi-structured interviews to collect relevant empirical data. A thematic analysiswas carried through to produce five main themes that was later anchored in relevant theory. Theempirical data and relevant theory were subsequently co-analysed.

Conclusion: Our findings identify three main aspects; awareness, marketing and impartiality that cofunctions and affects the configuration of IT-businesses activities in the recruitment process while aimingfor an even gender distribution. Four challenges were additionally identified as hindering theconfiguration of the recruitment activities, Configuration and challenges benefits from being re-enacted inthe context of SHRM.
