dc.description.abstractAccidents and threats have always been present in society, but the increasing complexity and interconnectedness within society, including the public sector, contribute to the emergence of new types of risk and more complex causalities. The ability to understand the emergence of risk, and to manage and control risk is a prerequisite for individuals, organizations, and society to survive and operate safely. Over the past years the role of the state, as a regulator and risk manager, has increased. The management and control of risk within the state takes place at many system levels, ranging from policy level to street level bureaucrats by means of laws, rules, and instructions. Each level can influence the others in an integrated and tightly coupled control system. These levels constitute subsystems within the state and offer different organizational interfaces or points of contacts between the organizational subsystem and its members. Managing risk and preventing accidents in the public sector therefore depend on activities and interfaces among actors at different system levels. This thesis draws attention to multilevel risk management processes in two public sectors: public healthcare and municipalities (local government). The risk management processes covered are those ensuring patient safety in the specialized healthcare sector and municipal emergency management in the municipal sector. The thesis explores and analyzes how the society establishes regimes to regulate and manage risk within the public sector, by applying the socio-technical system perspective as a framework. This approach allows the shifting of levels of analysis within the socio-technical system involved in public risk management and gives rise to issues like regulatory regimes; tools and strategies applied in controlling and managing risk; understanding the emergence of and adaptation to, risks; information flow and learning processes among system levels; and characteristics of organizational interfaces among different agencies and institutions of national, regional, and local character of importance for public risk management processes. The main focus of the thesis is the organizational interfaces involved in risk management processes in the public sector. The overall research problem is: How can organizational interfaces across system levels explain risk management processes in the public sector? Several theoretical contributions in risk, regulation, and organizational studies are applied to explore and interpret these organizational interfaces. A qualitative research strategy was chosen to provide insight into organizational matters, risk management processes, and discourses within different risk regulation regimes. In four research articles, the thesis documents that organizational interfaces across system levels can explain risk management processes in the public sector. Two articles describe organizational interfaces across the entire sociotechnical system; how risk amplification and attenuation and learning function in the interfaces; and how regulatory enforcement influences risk management processes. Two articles investigate how the organizational interface between regulators and regulatees affects public risk management; how different enforcement strategies promote or counteract learning processes; and how a system or an individual focus in enforcement activities makes different contributions to risk management processes.[...]no_NO
