<dim:field mdschema="dc" element="description" qualifier="abstract" lang="is">Markmið þessarar ritgerðar er að skoða hlutverk og tengsl mannauðs- og launadeilda innan íslenskra sveitarfélaga, þar sem mannauðsmál eru stór þáttur í stjórnun opinberra rekstrareininga. Rannsóknin byggir á megindlegri aðferðarfræði þar sem spurningalistar voru lagðir fyrir mannauðsstjóra og launafulltrúa sveitarfélaganna. Helstu rannsóknarspurningar fjalla um samstarf þessara deilda, upplifun starfsmanna af álagi í starfi, og hvort tengsl séu milli stærðar sveitarfélags og tilvistar mannauðsstjóra.&#xd;
Niðurstöðurnar sýna að þótt flest sveitarfélög séu með virkt samstarf milli mannauðs- og launadeilda, eru nokkur sveitarfélög þar sem samvinna er takmörkuð. Einnig kom í ljós að bæði mannauðs- og launadeildir upplifa oft á tíðum mikið álag í starfi, en þessi upplifun deilda á milli er mismunandi eftir því hvort starfsfólk er í mannauðs- eða launadeild. Mannauðsstjórar í stærri sveitarfélögum meta sig undir talsverðu álagi, en það kemur jafnframt í ljós að flest minni sveitarfélög hafa ekki sérstaka mannauðsstjóra nema þegar íbúafjöldi fer yfir ákveðinn fjölda.&#xd;
Rannsóknin undirstrikar mikilvægi betra samstarfs, aukins skilnings og skilvirkari verkferla í mannauðsmálum. Niðurstöðurnar benda til þess að aukin áhersla á faglega mannauðsstjórnun gæti bætt starfsumhverfi, stuðlað að betri nýtingu fjármuna og aukið ánægju starfsmanna og íbúa sveitarfélaganna.</dim:field>
<dim:field mdschema="dc" element="description" qualifier="abstract" lang="en">The objective of this thesis is to examine the roles and relationships of Human Resources and Payroll departments within Icelandic municipalities, where Human Resource Management plays a significant role in the administration of public entities. The study employs a quantitative methodology, using questionnaires distributed to Human Resources managers and Payroll Officers in various municipalities. The main research questions focus on the collaboration between these departments, employees' experiences of job-related stress, and whether there is a correlation between the size of the municipality and the existence of a dedicated Human Resources Manager.&#xd;
The findings indicate that while most municipalities maintain active collaboration between Human Resources and Payroll departments, there are some municipalities where cooperation is limited. It was also revealed that both Human Resources and Payroll departments frequently experience substantial work-related stress, though this perception varies depending on whether the staff members work in the Human Resources or Payroll department. Human Resources Managers in larger municipalities report significant levels of stress, and the study also shows that most smaller municipalities do not have dedicated Human Resources Managers unless the population reaches a certain threshold.The study emphasizes the importance of enhanced collaboration, greater&#xd;
understanding, and more efficient processes in Human Resource Management. The findings suggest that an increased emphasis on professional Human Resources Management could improve the work environment, lead to more effective use of resources, and enhance the satisfaction of both employees and residents of the municipalities.</dim:field>
