Abstract [sv]

Den här studien syftar på att undersöka huruvida innehållet i jobbannonser för chefspositioner från offentlig och privat sektor visar tecken på begränsningar samt diskriminering eller mångfald och inkludering.

Arbetet är baserat på en kvalitativ analys av innehållet i 55 olika jobbannonser för chefspositioner både i offentlig och privat sektor. Syftet med undersökningen har varit att belysa vilka utmaningar och möjligheter upplevs av utrikesfödda akademiker som ansöker till chefspositioner i Sverige, med hjälp av tidigare forskning inom området och en teoretisk referensram som består av Ackers ojämlikhetssystem (2006), Elias och Scotsons teori om etablerade och outsiders (1999), teorier om diskriminering som lyftes fram av Phelps (1972) och Arrow (1973) samt Becker (1971).

Studiens resultat visar att det förekommer både möjligheter och hinder som drabbar utrikesfödda akademiker på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Möjligheterna återfinns framför allt i jobbannonser som tillhör den offentliga sektorn, medan begränsningarna förekommer i stor utsträckning i båda sektorer, dock oftare i den offentliga.

Abstract [en]

The present study aims to research whether the content of job ads for leadership positions from the public and the private sector include signs of limitations and discrimination or diversity and inclusion.

The research is based on a qualitative analysis of the content in 55 different job ads for leadership positions from both the public and private sectors. The purpose of the study is to showcase the difficulties and the opportunities that foreign born academics are confronted with when applying to leadership roles in Sweden. The theoretical framework consists of Ackers theory of inequality regimes (2006), Elias and Scotsons theory of the established and the outsiders (1999), theories regarding discrimination put forward by Phelps (1972), Arrow (1973) and Becker (1971), as well as previous research in the field of diversity and discrimination.

The results show that there are both opportunities and limitations that affect foreign born academics that compete on the Swedish labour market. The opportunities are mostly found in job ads that relate to the public sector, while the limitations are prevalent in both sectors, though they are nevertheless more frequent in the public sector.
