De ska inte tro att de är något : En kvalitativ undersökning av föreställningar och förväntningar gällande internkommunikation.

Yngve, Frida January 2016 (has links)
Syftet med denna undersökning är att undersöka huruvida det finns några föreställningar eller förväntningar gällande internkommunikation hos arbetsgivare respektive framtida medarbetare ur Generation Y, för att sedan studera hur dessa antingen matchar eller krockar med varandra. Denna undersökning utgår från den åldersdefinition som beskriver Generation Y som födda mellan 1982-2002 (Howe och Strauss, 2010). Undersökningen bygger på semistrukturerade intervjuer som genomförts med nio informanter – sex ur Generation Y samt tre arbetsgivare. De teoretiska perspektiv som undersökningen utgår från är teorin om Generation Y samt David McClellands teori om grundläggande behov för skapandet av motivation. Dessa teorier applicerades på materialet för att studera varför de olika grupperna hade de föreställningar och de förväntningar de hade samt vad deras motiv med dessa förväntningar kunde vara.  Undersökningen visar på att både arbetsgivarna och de framtida arbetstagarna ur Generation Y innehar föreställningar och förväntningar gällande internkommunikation dock skiljer dessa sig åt. De båda grupperna har tankar kring vilka områden som kan leda till krockar mellan generationerna men de är inte överens om var krockarna kommer att uppstå eller hur de kan undvikas. Undersökningen visar på att både arbetsgivarna och de framtida arbetstagarna inom Generation Y är viljestarka och bär på föreställningen om att de andra ska anpassa sig. / The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there are any beliefs or expectations regarding internal communication among employers and future employees from Generation Y, and study how these two groups either match or clash with each other. The study is based on semi-structured interviews conducted with nine informants, six of Generation Y and three employers. This study is based on the age definition that describes the Generation Y as a generation born between 1982-2002 (Howe and Strauss, 2010). The theoretical perspectives the study uses are the theory of Generation Y and David McClelland's need theory. These theories were used for the analysis of why the different groups had the ideas and expectations they had and what their motives with these expectations could be. The study shows that both future workers from Generation Y and employers hold beliefs and expectations of internal communication – they differ, however. The two groups have thoughts about what areas can lead to clashes between the generations but they do not agree on where collisions will occur or how they can be avoided. The survey shows that both employers and future employees in Generation Y are strong-willed and bears on the notion of the others to adapt.

Equity perception and communication among Arab expatriate professionals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Hijazy, Muhammad January 2017 (has links)
The research aims to study how the communication context within the Arab cultures influences the employees' perception of equity and reaction to inequity. Specifically, the study explores how employees from Arab cultural backgrounds communicate with each other within the Saudi working context; and how they collect, interpret and use the different contextual information - from the contexts in which they live and work - in order to make judgements about issues related to the perception of equity and reaction to inequity. In order to study the research topic, a conceptual framework is developed to reconcile between Equity Theory, Social Comparison Theory and Hall's Context Model; and as a base serving the process of designing/choosing the methods of collecting and analysing the data. Three main research questions are developed which are about (i) how the communication context is related to employees' willingness and ability to react to inequity (ii) how the communication context shapes the nature of inequity reactions executed by employees and (iii) how the communication context is related to the way equity is perceived among employees. A modified version of critical realism is adopted to focus on exploring the mechanisms, within the communication context, which influence the perception of equity and reaction to inequity. A combination of retroduction and abduction is developed in a sense that retroduction is used to direct the research toward exploring the structure and mechanisms within the research setting, while abduction is used to draw conclusions about how the phenomena studied in the research are evolving by the structure and mechanisms. A mixed methods approach is adopted in the research. The research includes data from thirty-five semi-structured interviews which are conducted in mainly three Saudi private-sector organisations located in Jeddah with twenty-nine male employees and six male managers of six different Arab nationalities. Template analysis is used to analyse the qualitative interview transcripts and field notes, while cluster analysis is used to group the research participants based on their quantitative responses. The research finds that there are no clear-cut areas separating the activities linked to the perception of equity and reaction to inequity. I also conclude that the perception of equity norms and equity comparison components can sometimes be separate activities. Some factors such as the religious interpretation, face-saving, and contextual norms and powers influence the employees' willingness to react to inequity by altering the way in which those employees perceive equity norms. Here, unwillingness decisions are often made not as a result of personal conviction but as a compromise based on the personal evaluation of the surrounding context, realising the inability of the self to react to such situations in the first place. Thus, it can be concluded that inability to react to inequity can reduce the employees' willingness to react against under-rewarded situations. The process of perceiving equity comparison components is found to be related to the type of reaction adopted to re-establish the equity; this relationship is represented by groups affiliated by a hidden factor or factors, which is more influential than the ethnicity/nationality of the group's members. The research makes a methodological contribution to knowledge by suggesting a new approach to study human relations through the communication context; a conceptual contribution by combining the concepts of equity perception, social comparison and communication context in one conceptual framework; and an empirical contribution by providing a fresh insight to contextual themes in the Saudi working environment.

Bariéry v komunikaci ve vybrané pracovní skupině / Communication Barriers in the selected workgroup

Sitková, Lucie January 2010 (has links)
This thesis deals with communication barriers and their impact on the results of the work process and group climate. It explains the concept of communication, elements of communication process and the basic division of communication, verbal communication, nonverbal communication, effective communication and its elements, requirements for effective communication, communication with managers, managerial communication strategy, the specifics of communication in health care management and internal communication. The thesis further analyzes communication barriers from the perspective of different authors, which is crucial for the practical part, where the results of questionnaire-compiled charts reflecting the different communication barriers from different angles are used. Two sets of questionnaires were developed: one for senior staff and one for subordinates. The group examined was a closed working group in one hospital in the Czech Republic. In the discussion section, results of the research are evaluated and recommendations for the prevention and elimination of the communication barriers are given. The main aim of this work was improvement of communication between employees at all levels and between all levels, increasing the efficiency of manpower and making the working environment more attractive, thus increasing the satisfaction of all employees of this working group.
