The significant role of competence development : A qualitative study of six organizations’ strategic approaches to competence development and whether it can help retain employees (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien är att ur ett arbetsgivarperspektiv undersöka sex organisationers strategiska förhållningssätt till kompetensutveckling och hur kompetensutveckling kan bidra till att organisationen får behålla sin personal. Följande frågeställningar besvaras: Hur beskriver organisationerna kompetensutveckling som en del av arbetet med kompetensförsörjning? Hur arbetar organisationerna strategiskt med kompetensutveckling av sin personal? Kan kompetensutveckling beskrivas som en bidragande faktor till att organisationerna får behålla personal över tid? För att besvara studiens syfte och frågeställningar användes en kvalitativ metod i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex arbetsgivarrepresentanter som, i sina HR- eller chefsroller, arbetar med kompetensutveckling i sina respektive organisationer. Resultatet visar att organisationerna till stor del har ett liknande strategiskt förhållningssätt när det kommer till kompetensutveckling av sin personal. Vidare är samtliga intervjupersoner överens med den tidigare forskningen som hävdar att organisationer ökar sina chanser att behålla personal genom att erbjuda möjligheter till kompetensutveckling.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of the study is to investigate, from the employer’s perspective, six organizations’ strategic approaches to competence development and whether they consider it a contributing factor to the organization being able to retain employees. The study answers the following research questions: How do the organizations describe competence development as part of the competence-based management? How do the organizations work strategically with competence development of their employees? Is it possible to describe competence development as a contributing factor to the organization being able to retain employees? In order to answer the purpose of the study and the research questions, a qualitative method was used in the form of semi-structured interviews with six employer representatives who, in their HR or managerial roles, work with competence development in their organizations. The results show that the organizations have a similar strategic approach in terms of competence development of their employees. Furthermore, all respondents agree with the previous research, which claims that organizations increase their chances of retaining employees by offering opportunities for competence development.
