In recent years, the staffing industry has developed in the Swedish labor market. It has become more and more common to work in the staffing industry and the there are now consultants in the most areas of today's labor market. Number of consultants has since 2009 double in Sweden. According to statistics from Almega, 250,000 people were employed in staffing companies 2017 (Almega, 2018; Almega, 2019). Therefore the purposes of this study is to investigate consultants experience of organizational commitment, both against the employer and the client company and also what factors may have affect this. The approach was a qualitative method, based on eight interviews with consultants made by a researcher from Mid Sweden University. The consultants worked for the same employer at different customer companies within industrial and administration industries. Five themes were found, "difference in working conditions between regular staff and hired consultants", "consultantsexperience of the staffing industry", "insecure employment conditions", "belonging" and"loyalty". The results of the study demonstrate that the consultants values social relations with colleagues and stable employment conditions. Many of the consultants considered themself to be a part of client company based on the social relations they created there. The ones who considered themself to be a part of their employment company tended to be a result of experienced difference between regular staff and the hired ones. Many of the interviewed consultants saw no future in the staffing industry as they valued a stable employment. === <p>2020-06-15</p>
