Communication and Motivation with Football Players

May, Jonathan Eric 01 January 2009 (has links)
This study investigated the perceived locus of causality of motivation in high school football players. The Sports Motivation Scale (SMS) was used to study seven motivation subscales (IM to know, IM to accomplish, IM stimulation, EM identified, EM introjected, EM external and Amotivation) with respect to motivation among high school football players. This indicated that IM to know, IM to accomplish, EM identified and EM introjected were the best predictors of the participants? perceived locus of causality of motivation. The results indicate that when using perceived locus of causality for motivation, position played could be predicted 62 percent of the time. The study also speculates on ways in which communication could be used to affect motivation.

Klicka på följ-knappen : En studie om genusskillnader vid yttre och inre motivation att följa varumärken på sociala nätverk

Fröberg, Erika January 2019 (has links)
Syfte och forskningsfrågor: Studiens syfte är att identifiera och jämföra män och kvinnors yttre och inre motivationsfaktorer vid följande av varumärken på sociala nätverk utifrån incitament, social kontext, intresse, underhållning, information samt känslomässigt nära. Studien ämnar även att tillföra kunskaper för ämnesområdet inom teoretiska och praktiska implikationer. Forskningsfrågan lyder därmed:   Vilka likheter och skillnader finns det mellan män och kvinnors yttre och inre motivationsfaktorer att följa varumärken på sociala nätverk?   Metod: Studien använder sig av en hypotetisk-deduktiv metod där forskaren via befintlig teori skapat studiens hypoteser. Hypoteserna har sedan testats genom en kvantitativ metod med hjälp av en webbenkät och ett Mann Whitney test. En analys och diskussion genomfördes därefter för att generera en slutsats för studien.   Slutsats: Resultatet från studien fann att det inte finns någon signifikant skillnad mellan män och kvinnors yttre motivation inom områdena incitament och social kontext att följa varumärken på sociala nätverk. Inom inre motivation fann dock studien både likheter och skillnader. Inom aspekterna intresse och underhållning fann studien ingen signifikant skillnad mellan män och kvinnors inre motivation till att följa varumärken på sociala nätverk. Däremot inom aspekterna information och känslomässigt nära fann studien att kvinnor visade en signifikant högre inre motivationsskillnad jämfört med män. Studiens praktiska implikationer fann att varumärken bör ta hänsyn till dessa genusskillnader vid inre motivation för att kunna anpassa innehållet efter deras målgrupp. De teoretiska implikationerna fann istället att incitament numera inte har någon signifikant skillnad mellan män och kvinnor, medan tidigare forskning visar på en större motivation från kvinnor. Dessutom fann studien samma resultat som tidigare forskning gällande att kvinnor motiveras mer känslomässigt av varumärken än män. / Purpose and research questions: The purpose of the study is to identify and compare men and women’s extrinsic and intrinsic motivation when following a brand on social networks by incentive, social context, interest, entertainment, information and relatedness. The study also intends to provide knowledge to the subject area within theoretical and practical implications. The research question therefore follows: • Which similarities and differences exists between men and women’s extrinsic and intrinsic motivation to follow a brand on social networks? Method: The study uses a hypothetical-deductive method where the researcher through existing theories creates the study’s hypotheses. The hypotheses have been tested through a quantitative method with a survey online and a Mann Whitney test. An analysis and discussion was then performed to generate a conclusion for the study. Conclusion: The result from the study found that there are no significant differences between men and women’s extrinsic motivation within the areas incentives and social context to follow brands on social networks. However, within the field intrinsic motivation the study found both similarities and differences between men’s and women’s motivation to follow brands on social networks. The study found no significant difference between men and women’s intrinsic motivation connected to interest and entertainment. However, within the aspects information and relatedness the study found that women showed a significant higher difference in intrinsic motivation compared to men. The practical implications of the study found that brands should take these gender differences into account in order to adapt the content to their target audience. Instead, the theoretical implications found that incentives now have no significant difference between men and women, while previous research shows a greater motivation from women. In addition, the study found similar results to previous research that women are more emotionally motivated by brands than men.

Vad motiverar till deltagande i vattengymnastik? : En kvalitativ undersökning av en kommuns hälsofrämjande arbete

Arvidsson, Frida January 2007 (has links)
<p>En förutsättning för att få folk att delta i en friskvårdssatsning är att de är motiverade. En kvalitativ studie genomfördes med syfte att beskriva och förstå den yttre och inre motivationen hos kommunanställda som deltar i en friskvårdssatsning på vattengymnastik. Femton respondenter intervjuades utifrån en intervjuguide baserad på Deci och Ryans (1985) fyra faktorer (självbestämmande, kompetens, samhörighet och glädje) som ses som en förutsättning för att motivation skall uppstå. Resultatet visade att begreppen vanemöster, kompetens, samhörighet/social kontakt samt glädje/välbefinnande var centrala för att uppnå motivation att delta i vattengymnastik. Studien antyder att en arbetsplats kan skapa yttre förutsättningar för att de anställda ska ha möjligheten att hitta en passande motionsform. Den egentliga drivkraften finns dock inom individen själv.</p> / <p>A condition to get people to participate in an activity for preventive healthcare is that they have to be motivated for the activity. The present study was carried out in order to describe and understand the extrinsic and intrinsic motivation with employees at a local government who participate in aquarobics. Fifteen respondents were interviewed based on an interview guide built on Deci and Ryan´s (1985) four factors, self determination, competence, relatedness and happiness, as conditions to reach intrinsic motivation. The results propose that habit, competence, relatedness/social contact and happiness/well-being are central to reach a motivation for aquarobics. An employer is able to create conditions for the employees so that they have the opportunity to find a form of exercise that fit the individual. But the real driving force is inside the person itself.</p>

Public Service Motivation im Nonprofit-Bereich : eine Fallstudie am Beispiel des Deutschen Roten Kreuzes / Public Service Motivation in the nonprofit sector: a case study using the example of the German Red Cross

Nijaki, Nadine January 2011 (has links)
Public Service Motivation (PSM), als ein Konzept des öffentlichen Sektors, beruht auf der Annahme bestimmter Motive, die charakteristisch für öffentlich Bedienstete sind. Mit dem Versuch dieses Konstrukt auf den Nonprofit-Sektor zu übertragen, wird das Ziel verfolgt ein tieferes Verständnis für die Motivation der Beschäftigten zu erlangen und die dazu existierenden, eher geringen Befunde der PSM-Forschung um ein qualitatives Vorgehen zu erweitern. Die vorliegende Arbeit bereitet hierfür zunächst den theoretischen Hintergrund der PSM auf und nimmt Bezug zu der von Perry (1996) weiterentwickelten Theorie der PSM. Im anschließenden empirischen Teil werden in einer Fallstudie verschiedene Anstellungsformen sowie Tätigkeitsbereiche der Nonprofit-Organisation „Deutsches Rotes Kreuz“ untersucht. Anhand der ermittelten Ergebnisse kann dabei die Existenz der PSM nachgewiesen werden. Nicht zuletzt werden durch die Wahl eines qualitativen Forschungsdesigns aufschlussreiche Erkenntnisse bezüglich der untersuchten Einflussfaktoren gewonnen. Es kann festgehalten werden, dass sich Haupt- und Ehrenamtliche in Ihrer PSM nicht gravierend unterscheiden. Hingegen die PSM zwischen Arbeitern der Verwaltungs- und Arbeitern der Street-Level-Ebene hinsichtlich ihrer Ausprägung von einander abweicht. Darüber hinaus liefert die Arbeit erste Erklärungsversuche und geht dabei unter anderem auf die Theorie der extrinsischen und intrinsischen Motivation, sowie auf die Selbstbestimmungstheorie ein. / Public Service Motivation (PSM) as a concept for the public sector is based on certain motives which are typical for public employees. The goal in attempting to transfer this construct to the nonprofit sector is to get a better understanding of motivation of employees and to extend the existing, somewhat scant findings in PSM research using a qualitative approach. This paper begins by presenting the theoretical background of PSM and refers to the developed theory of PSM by Perry (1996). The subsequent empirical section presents a case study which examines different types of appointments as well as areas of operation within the “German Red Cross”, a nonprofit organization. The results indicated here demonstrate the existence of PSM. Lastly, useful insights are delivered in terms of the influencing factors, this due in no small part to the choice of a qualitative study design. It may be noted that no significant difference in PSM is found between full-time employees and volunteer workers. By contrast, the way PSM is expressed by street-level workers differs widely from that of those working at an administrative level. In addition, the paper provides first attempts at an explanation and refers to the theory of the extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, as well as to self-determination theory.

Faktore wat verband hou met die leermotivering en leerhouding van leerders in sekondêre skole in die Upington omgewing. / Factors related to the learning motivation and learning attitude of learners in scondary schools in the Upington area

Nel, William Nico 11 1900 (has links)
Summaries in Afrikaans and English / The aim was to establish factors related to learning motivation and learning attitude of learners in historically coloured schools. An eclectic approach was followed because theoretical views on motivation could not furnish a comprehensive theory. The definition emerging from this approach states that motivation is a process started within a person to create a state of need for satisfaction and happiness that can be reached by instigating and sustaining goal-directed activity. The link between learning and motivation, as well as related factors, was ascertained. Determinants of high and low levels of learning motivation were established. Programmes aimed at higher motivation levels were explored. Empirically it was proven that grade 9 learners in historically coloured schools leaned more towards an extrinsic orientation; grade 12's more intrinsic. An intervention programme is suggested. / Die doel was om vas te stel watter faktore hou verband met die leermotivering en leerhouding van leerders in histories bruin sekondere skole spesifiek. 'n Eklektiese benadering is gevolg omdat die teoretiese beskouings oor leerrnotivering nie 'n bevredigende allesomvattende teorie kon verskaf nie. Die werksdefinisie van motivering is 'n gevolg daarvan en lui as volg: motivering is die proses wat in die persoon aan die gang gesit word om 'n staat van behoefte na tevredenheid en geluk te skep wat bereik kan word deur doelgerigte aktiwiteit aan te stig en aan die gang te hou. Die verband tussen leer en motivering is bepaal asook die faktore wat verband hou met leermotivering. Bepalers van hoe en lae leermotiveringsvlakke is vasgestel en ingrypingsprogramme gemik op verhoogde motivering is ondersoek. Empiries is bewys dat die graad 9-leerders meer geneig is tot ekstrinsieke orienterings rakende leermotivering; graad 12-leerders meer intrinsiek. 'n lngrypingsprogram word voorgestel. / Teacher Education / M. Ed. (met spesialisering in Voorligting)
