Unsafe in an organization : A qualitative study of inadequate psychological safety and the imprint of employees self-perceived health (English)
Abstract [sv]
Syfte: Studiens syfte är att identifiera konsekvenserna som kan uppstå för en organisations medarbetare till följd av bristande psykologisk trygghet.
Metod: Forskningsstudien bygger på en induktiv forskningsansats som behandlats genom en kvalitativ metod i form av ostrukturerade intervjuer. En multipel fallstudie som behandlar fenomenet psykologisk trygghet i organisationer.
Slutsats: I studien har vi funnit att när medarbetare i organisationer upplever en bristande psykologisk trygghet påverkas deras hälsa genom emotionella uttryck som rädsla, oro, alienation, ilska, skuld, otrygghet och obehag samt att känna sig; sviken, frustrerad, förlöjligad, förminskad och bristande energi. Tyvärr har det inte avstannat vid de emotionella uttrycken utan vi har funnit ohälsosamma aspekter såsom utmattning, stress, utbrändhet, sömnproblem, depression, minnesförlust, synstörningar, smärta och ångest.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to identify the consequences that may arise for an organization's employees because of inadequate psychological safety.
Method: The study is based on an inductive research approach that has been treated through a qualitative method in the form of unstructured interviews. A multiple case study that deals with the phenomenon of psychological safety in organizations.
Conclusion: In the study, we found that when employees in organizations experience a lack of psychological safety, their health is affected by emotional expressions such as fear, anxiety, alienation, anger, guilt, insecurity, and discomfort as well as feeling; disappointed, frustrated, ridiculed, diminished, and lack of energy. Unfortunately, it has not ceased at the emotional expressions, but we have found unhealthy aspects such as fatigue, stress, burnout, sleep problems, depression, memory loss, visual disturbances, pain, and anxiety.
