Maria Norbäck
Professor
Företagsekonomiska institutionenOm Maria Norbäck
Maria Norbäck är professor i företagsekonomi med inriktning mot management och organisation, och föreståndare för Centrum för Forskning om Arbete och Sysselsättning/Work and Employment Research Centre ( https://wexsus.se/forskning/centrum-for-forskning-om-arbete-och-sysselsattning-we ). Hon forskar om hur man organiserar arbete, ofta arbete som organiseras i gränslandet mellan marknad och organisation, eftersom arbete i det post-industriella samhället mer och mer sker mellan och utanför formella organisationer. Ofta har hennes forskning fokuserat på medie-branschen, men hon har även studerat arbete i andra branscher och sammanhang, arbete som är både hög- och låg-kvalificerat.
Norbäck är projektledare för ett forskningsprojekt om arbetarstyrda kooperativ inom kulturbranschen. Hon medverkar även i forskningsprojekt som studerar flexibilitet, rörlighet och val på arbetsmarknaden; arbetsintegrerande sociala företag; och arbetsmarknadskonsekvenser av den gröna omställningen av fordonsklustret i Västsverige. Hon har tidigare studerat film och TV-produktion på SVT; frilansjournalister och andra professionella frilansare; professionellt arbete i riskkapitalfinansierade bolag; stadsutvecklingschefer och dess arbete; samt arbetsorganisering inom handeln. Hon använder gärna institutionell teori och det som brukar kallas ”critical labour studies”-litteratur när hon forskar och undervisar. I sin undervisning använder hon också gärna konst och andra kulturformer för att främja lärande och bildning.
