Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien är att ur ett individperspektiv undersöka HR-medarbetares upplevelser av HR-transformation. Studien besvarar följande frågeställningar: Hur påverkar den pågående HR-transformationen HR-medarbetarnas nuvarande arbetsuppgifter och funktion? Vilka förändringar anser HR-medarbetarna har påverkat deras upplevelser av HR-yrket? Hur ser HR-medarbetarna på HR-transformation i framtiden? Studiens syfte besvaras med kvalitativ metod genom sex semistrukturerade intervjuer med HR-medarbetare. Studiens teoretiska utgångspunkter som används för att analysera det empiriska materialet är konceptet HR-transformation, shared service, HR-medarbetarens olika roller samt resiliens. Resultatet visar att HR-medarbetarna upplever olika grad av HR-transformation, där den största förändringen är att administrativa arbetsuppgifter minskar tack vare digitaliseringen, men att det operativa arbetet fortfarande är väldigt viktigt. Strategiska arbetsuppgifter och HR-perspektivet har fått utökat utrymme och ökad betydelse i organisationer. Intervjupersonerna kan ses ha en resilient förmåga, de påvisar en anpassningsförmåga till de förändringar som sker och har en positiv inställning till dessa. HR-medarbetarna ser flera möjligheter i framtiden med en fortsatt HR-transformationsresa, där allt fler arbetsuppgifter förändras för att ge värde till organisationer, vilket tyder på att HR:s betydelse därmed fortsätter att öka.
