Göra sitt jobb

Do one's job

意味

Performing one's duties.

文化的背景

The phrase reflects the 'Swedish Model' where reliability and doing one's part for the collective is highly valued. Flat hierarchies mean that 'doing your job' often includes taking initiative without being told. Swedish sports commentary often uses this phrase to highlight the 'unsung heroes' of a team. High social trust in Scandinavia is built on the expectation that everyone 'gör sitt jobb'.
