Background

I have during the last 30 years been working with occupational health and workplace development issues as a researcher, project leader and consultant. I defended my doctoral thesis 'Health and Performance: Studies of Organizational Determinants and Change Strategy' at Luleå University of Technology in 2006. I have also been working with workplace health issues at Swedish Institute of Public Health, National Institute of Working Life, Swedish Working Life Fund and in Occupational Health Services. I am today responsible for a Masterprogram (one year) in Working life, health and rehabilitation.

Area of interest

Main research interests are leadership, workplace health promotion and small business development with emphasis on organizational factors. As a project leader for several research- and development projects focus has been on interactive research and learning issues for practitioners.

Current research

I am involved in research projects concerning occupational health services in micro enterprises, health and working conditions among self-employed, leadership and health and work and family.
