This dissertation explores the underresearched topic of the motivation of non-profit organizational (NPO) workers for accepting international assignments (IAs). In the literature review, the motivation and reasons for working and living outside the home country by multinational corporate expatriates, international migrants, and long-term international volunteers are summarized. With the reasons for expatriation distilled from the literature, a self-determination theory (SDT) approach, and open-ended questions, the motivations for NPO workers to accept IAs are factor analyzed and triangulated using data from a sample of more than 140 Christian mission and humanitarian workers originating from 25 countries and representing 48 sending organizations. Four NPO worker motivation profiles are tentatively identified and described using cluster analysis of the SDT motivations and Kruskal-Wallis analysis of the reasons of accepting an IA, individual cultural values, organizational commitment, and demographic variables. The NPO worker cluster groups include the Caring Internationalist, the Self-Directed Careerist, the Obedient Soldier, and the Movement-Immersed Worker. The findings hold implications for international human resource managers toward the effective recruitment, selection, training and development, career management, and support and encouragement of NPO expatriates with the goal of an increase in the incidence of expatriation assignment success.

En förutsättning för att möta de krav som råder på arbetsmarknaden för unga arbetstagare är att inneha arbetsmotivation. Arbetsmotivation är ett samlingsnamn för faktorer som påverkar människans sätt att agera i olika situationer och kan delas in i inre och yttre motivation. Inre motivation innebär en känsla av fri vilja där individen agerar utifrån intresse att skapa tillfredsställelse på arbetsplatsen. Yttre motivation innebär att skapa en tillfredsställelse genom yttre konsekvenser, vilket kan vara belöningar. Syftet med denna studie är således att undersöka arbetsmotivation med fokus på inre och yttre motivationsfaktorer bland unga vuxna i åldern 20–25 år utifrån en kvalitativ ansats. Det är även av intresse att studera om det föreligger någon skillnad mellan män och kvinnor. Materialet har samlats in via tio semistrukturerade intervjuer och analyserats utifrån en tematisk analys. Resultatet visar att ansvar, kompetensutveckling och feedback är inre motivationsfaktorer som påverkar unga vuxnas arbetsmotivation. De yttre motivationsfaktorerna är belöningar, sociala relationer samt tydliga riktlinjer. Det råder även ingen större skillnad mellan män och kvinnor vad det gäller arbetsmotivation. Utöver detta visar resultatet att unga vuxna anser att ett arbete i slutändan inte ska betraktas som ett jobb utan som en rolig aktivitet för att uppnå maximal arbetsmotivation. / A presumption for meeting the demands of the labor market for young workers is to have work motivation. Work motivation is a generic label for factors that influence a person's way of acting in different situations and can be divided into internal and external motivation. Internal motivation means a sense of free will where the individual acts on the basis of interest in creating satisfaction in the workplace. External motivation means creating satisfaction through external consequences. The purpose of this study is to study work motivation with focus on internal and external motivational factors among young adults aged 20-25 years based on a qualitative approach. It is also of interest to study if there is any difference between gender. The material was collected through ten semi-structured interviews and analyzed on the basis of a thematic analysis. The result shows that responsibility, skills development and feedback are internal motivational factors that influence young adults' work motivation. The external motivating factors are rewards, social relationships and clear guidelines. There is also no major difference between men and women in terms of work motivation. In addition, the results show that young adults believe that a job in the end should not be regarded as a job, but as a fun activity in order to achieve maximum work motivation.
