Stefan Blomberg

PhD and licensed psychologist

Presentation

I have a PhD and work as a licensed psychologist at the Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (AMM) at the university hospital in Linköping. For many years, I have been part of an ongoing research project at Linköping University called WHOLE (Work Health Organization Leadership Experience). Within this project, we have collected longitudinal data on organizational and social work environment, leadership, health, and vulnerability from three different cohorts (governmental, municipal and private sector) as well as a representative sample from Swedish working life. Parts of the project have been financed by Forte and AFA insurance.

In the project, we primarily investigate how various organizational factors affect the emergence and outcome of negative social exposure in working life, such as work-related bullying and victimization.

As part of the research project, I submitted and defended my PhD thesis on December 15, 2022. The thesis is about how supportive leadership moderates the occurrence and impact of work-related bullying.

Management, organizational structure and reward systems are factors that may affect organizational and social work environment. How do they affect individuals’ work experience, occurrence of bullying, levels of reporting in sick and perceived health.

Social Psychology

Social relations and social interaction affect how we behave and how we see and interpret our world. We are also affected by the context and the systems or organizations that we are in - it affects what we do but also how we feel.

Organisation

Division of Psychology (PSY)

Research at the division covers many aspects of psychology. We also educate psychologists and psychotherapists to meet the challenges of work life and future clients in the best possible way.
