Malin Bolin serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at Mid Sweden University in Sundsvall. Her academic role focuses on bridging sociological theory with practical workplace applications, particularly in organizational structures and work environment sustainability.
Bolin's research centers on workplace organization and its impact on sustainable work environments, health, and equality. She investigates fragmentation in academic labor, welfare technology's effects on care staff, and gender mainstreaming in municipal reorganizations. Her methodological approach integrates organizational perspectives into work environment studies, with strong emphasis on gender equality and working time models in social services. Recent work explores how trust management functions within welfare systems and the invisibility of work abilities in rehabilitation contexts.
Analysis of Bolin's 15 most recent publications (2019-2025) reveals consistent focus on organizational sociology intersecting with gender studies and work environment science. Key trends include multilevel analyses of workplace health in retail sectors, academic work fragmentation, and sustainable time models in welfare systems. Her research demonstrates methodological rigor in connecting macro-level organizational structures with micro-level worker experiences, particularly highlighting gendered dimensions of work organization.
Bolin actively contributes to research projects including Arbetets villkor och villkorat arbete (AVA) on academic work fragmentation, Att komma närmare men inte nära nog on work ability visibility, and evaluations of 7-hour workday models in social services. Her collaborations span municipal agencies, welfare organizations, and interdisciplinary research teams focused on sustainable work systems.
