The concept of 'Civilkurage' (moral courage) is highly valued. It often involves 'att stå för sin åsikt' even when the majority disagrees. In Swedish workplaces, taking responsibility ('att stå för sitt arbete') is expected at all levels, not just by managers. When a Swede says 'Jag står för det', they are making a firm commitment. It is considered very rude to back out after saying this. Swedish voters often complain that politicians don't 'stå för' their promises after an election.
