| Tiivistelmä: | Decentralization (hereafter as: dec.) of responsibilities and organizing work in autonomous co-operative teams are strategies (hereafter as: str./strs.) of the modernization of public services (hereafter as: p-s./p-ss.) The empowerment of the p-s. workers in the front line is therefore a str. in Norway. A study of the dec. of public care for the elderly in their homes showed that being given interesting tasks and increased responsibility mobilized the efforts of the care workers. However, since the power of resources has been centralized, this has led to an intensification of work. Women care workers were constructed by their managers as unprofessional and not to be taken seriously. This has made the public care organization a greedy organization for the women care workers. |
