From Yearly Checks to Daily Progress: Evaluating Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) in Systematic Work Environment Management (SAM) Within the Municipal Sector

The goal of this project is to evaluate a practical method for improving systematic work environment management (SAM) by focusing on health-promoting factors rather than identifying risk-factors, and deficiencies. It will also explore how Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) can support goal-setting and evaluation within SAM. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Which health-promoting factors are prioritized, and what organizational-level initiatives are developed? * How does using GAS influence goal achievement related to health-promoting factors? * How do employees, managers, and HR representatives perceive the use of GAS? * What factors help or hinder the implementation of GAS and goal attainment? Participants will: Apply GAS within their organizations to set and evaluate goals Engage in a participatory process to identify key health-promoting factors Assess progress and the impact of interventions over time Researchers will analyze the effectiveness of GAS in enhancing SAM (experiment vs control group) and develop tools to support sustainable, healthy workplaces in the municipal sector.
