Since the working environment act was passed in 1991, employers in Sweden are to plan and control the working environment conditions in workplaces. They are responsible for organized rehabilitation at the workplace including the development of rehabilitation plans and a plan for interventions in order for a sick-listed client to be able to return to work. The aim of this study was to describe employers' experiences of how motivation can be improved in a work rehabilitation process. Qualitative interviews were performed with 10 employers who had employees that had taken part in a period of vocational rehabilitation at a rehabilitation center in the north of Sweden, over a 2-year period. The result showed that increased focus on motivation for change is needed in work rehabilitation. The clients' motivation for change could be improved by a focus on motivational conversations at the workplace aiming at motivation for change in their working and living conditions. The employers' power of initiative, competence, economic resources, and motivation are needed for creative solutions at the workplace.
自1991年《工作环境法》通过以来，瑞典的雇主需要规划和控制工作场所的工作环境条件。他们负责工作场所的有组织康复工作，包括制定康复计划和干预计划，以便让列入病假名单的员工能够重返工作岗位。本研究的目的是描述雇主在工作康复过程中如何提高员工积极性方面的经验。在两年时间里，对10位雇主进行了定性访谈，这些雇主的员工曾在瑞典北部的一家康复中心参加过一段时间的职业康复。结果表明，工作康复需要更多地关注改变的动机。通过在工作场所专注于旨在激发工作和生活条件改变动机的激励性对话，可以提高客户改变的动机。工作场所的创造性解决方案需要雇主的主动性、能力、经济资源和积极性。
