Titel: Ansvarsförvirringen - Vem bär ansvaret för arbetet med employer branding? - En kvalitativ studie som belyser organisationers ansvarsfördelning i arbetet med employer branding och att attrahera rätt kandidater.

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att bidra med förståelse för hur ansvarsfördelningen görs i organisationer när det kommer till employer branding (EB) och vilken roll fördelningen har i de utmaningar som uppkommer kring att skapa en attraktion hos de rätta kandidaterna för att vilja bli anställda hos en organisation.

Metod: Studien behandlar fenomenet ansvarsfördelning i employer branding-arbetet och tog avstamp i en kvalitativ strategi med abduktiv forskningsansats. Studien har även tillämpat en tvärsnittsdesign, med semistrukturerade intervjuer som datainsamlingsmetod. 

Slutsats: Resultatet av studien visar på att ansvaret i organisationer i arbetet med employer branding kan fördelas i ett strategiskt respektive operativt ansvar.  HR-funktionen har ett strategiskt ansvar, medan övriga involverade funktioner som marknadsförings-, ekonomi-, marknads-, och PR-funktionen ansvarar över det operativa och praktiska arbetet med EB. Resultatet visar vidare att det inte finns någon enskild befattning eller funktion som besitter huvudansvaret för EB-arbetet, utan de involverade funktionerna har ett gemensamt ansvar för EB-arbetet. Vi kan med det som utgångspunkt fastställa att det finns en ansvarsfördelning, men ingen som besitter det yttersta ansvaret. Studiens resultat indikerar vidare att organisationer idag upplever utmaningar med att hitta och attrahera rätt kandidater och att ansvarsfördelningen potentiellt kan ha en avgörande och problematisk roll i det.

Title: The responsibility confusion - Who is responsible for the work with employer branding? - A qualitative study that emphasizes organizations' division of responsibilities in the work with employer branding and attracting the right candidates.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to contribute with an understanding of how responsibility is distributed in organizations when it comes to employer branding (EB) and what role the distribution has in the challenges that arise around creating an attraction for right candidates to want to be employed by an organization.

Method: The study addresses the phenomenon of the distribution of responsibility in the employer branding work and was based on a qualitative strategy with an abductive research approach. The study has also applied a cross-sectional design, with semi-structured interviews as the data collection method.

Conclusion: The result of the study shows that the responsibility in organizations in the work with employer branding can be divided into strategic and operational responsibility. The HR function has a strategic responsibility, while other involved functions such as the marketing, finance, market and PR function are responsible for the operational and practical work with EB. The result further shows that there is no single position or function that has the main responsibility for the EB work, the functions involved have a shared responsibility for the EB work. Based on that we can establish that there is a division of responsibility, but no one has the main responsibility. The result of the study further indicates that organizations today experience challenges in finding and attracting the right candidates and that the distribution of responsibilities can potentially play a crucial and problematic role in this.
