This study examines how psychological contract violations (PCV) affect organizational identification (OID) in the context of reconstructing strategic change, specifically acquisitions.

Previous research on Trust-Based Management (TBM) is fragmented without a cohesive understanding of what it entails while TBM at the same time has been widely adopted throughout the public sector in the Nordics.

Selecting the right stainless-steel (SS) grade for food processing equipment is a critical decision, since processing environments vary widely and a grade that performs well under one set of conditions may be inadequate under another. The following study evaluates the pitting corrosion resistance of three grades commonly used in the food industry, 316L, 2205 DSS and 254 SMO, under varying chloride
Våld i nära relation är ett omfattande samhällsproblem som ofta sker bakom stängda dörrar. Detta innebär att ingripandepolisen som första instans har en avgörande roll i att bedöma risker utifrån ofta begränsad eller motsägelsefull information. Syftet med denna uppsats är att ur ett sociologiskt perspektiv undersöka hur risk konstrueras, tolkas och förstås av ingripandepoliser, samt hur deras hand
