Swedish municipal welfare governance debate
Overview
In Sweden, a debate regarding municipal governance of welfare services has intensified ahead of upcoming elections. Political parties are proposing different methods for organizing, managing, and financing welfare.
Historically, public sector governance has been influenced by New Public Management (NPM), which uses measurement and monitoring to drive efficiency. However, critics argue NPM increases administration and hierarchy, potentially reducing employee motivation. As an alternative, trust-based management and leadership (TBSL) has emerged, gaining momentum since the government appointed the Trust Commission in 2016.
