Destruktivt lederskap i luftfarten. En studie om sammenhengen mellom lederatferd og utbrenthet, jobbengasjement og organisasjonsforpliktelse i et flysikkerhetsperspektiv.
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2024-05-25)Destruktiv ledelse og teorien rundt dette fenomenet er forholdsvis lite utforsket, både generelt, men også i luftfartsbransjen. Det finnes likevel noe forskning som denne studien kan knyttes opp mot. Destruktivt lederskap er til en viss grad utbredt, og denne typen ledelse har vist seg skadelig både for organisasjon og de ansatte. Denne studien belyser mulige sammenhenger mellom destruktiv ledelse, ... -
Annerledes og likeverdig: førstelektorstillingens skjebne under akademias konvensjoner
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-07)I Norge finnes to karriereveier innen undervisning og forskning i høyere utdanning. Veien fra stipendiat via førsteamanuensis til professor er den mest brukte. Men en tredel av de tilsatte i høyere utdanning er tilsatt i en karrierestige som går fra universitets- eller høgskolelektor via førstelektor til dosent. De to karriereveiene kan sies å være knyttet til ulike kunnskapsregimer. I de siste 20 ... -
Methanotroph activity and connectivity between two seep systems north off Svalbard
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-14)Understanding methane flux dynamics in Arctic cold seep systems and the influence of oceanic currents on microbial methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) is crucial for assessing their impact on Arctic methane emissions. Here, we investigate methane dynamics and associated microbial communities at two cold seep areas, Norskebanken and Hinlopen Trough, North of Svalbard. Methane concentrations and methane ... -
