Sammanfattning
Based on an ethnographic study of the governing of caseworkers working with administrating the sickness insurance, this article raises a number of
critical questions about the consequences of the informal governance within the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. Despite the self-image of being a
formal organization making “correct” decisions on insurance matters, this study shows that the informal governing - by social norms, peer pressure
and legitimizing organizational narratives - is salient in the daily work, risking to lead the organization in a different direction than what is politically
decided. Finally, the article makes the point that the organizational norm of being accommodative and obedient risks jeopardizing – rather than
strengthening – rule of law.
