Description

The organization and interaction between societal sectors are changing. Health and welfare services are changing, with consequences for the services and the cooperation across sectors (public, private and civil society). Civil society organizations, including religious and faith-based organizations, are experiencing new conditions and expectations for their role in society. This affects leadership and professional practice in these fields. LIVAP researchers have a particular interest in studying how the changes affect the purpose, values, roles, identity and practice of public and civil society organizations. Members of LIVAP are active in publishing articles and presenting articles at conferences. We have recently published a book on understanding value work and a method book on researching values and value work. The contribution from our research lies in exploring and deepening how changes in society affect the conditions for institutional leadership, values work and the negotiation of various institutional logics.
