Attitudes matter

Perceptions towards welfare work with migrants in Swedish welfare organisations.

This dissertation examines Swedish welfare workers’ attitudes towards migrants and migration, their perceptions of welfare work with migrants and organizational working conditions.

The dissertation is based on original survey data capturing attitudes and views of welfare workers in two Swedish welfare organisations. The thesis’ conceptual framework draws on three perspectives: street-level bureaucracy theory, racial attitude studies and ontological security theory.

All three perspectives bring different dimensions to the understanding of welfare workers’ attitudes towards migrants.

This dissertation contributes with incorporating individual and organ- isational factors when studying perceptions towards welfare work and migration. The thesis integrates racial attitude studies into understand- ings of organisational processes and links these processes to global struc- tural transformations. Thereby the thesis contributes to a growing line of research that is shifting the focus from internal organizational process- es solely to integrating the role of individual attitudes but also external transformation processes in order to understand how welfare work with migrants is shaped.
