Syftet med denna studie är att öka förståelsen för vad som motiverar volontärer och vad de har för förhoppningar och förväntningar när de kommer för att arbeta på en musikfestival, och hur denna grupp människor passar in i mallen som motivationsteoretiker målat upp för vad människor motiveras av och hur vi motiverar arbetskraft. Vi insåg under vårt arbete med musikfestivalvolontärer att det finns mycket lite kunskap om gruppen samt om hur man på bästa sätt arbetar mot volontärer på en festival. Vad som speciellt intresserade oss var upptäckten av hur många av de volontärer som anmält sig med sedan valde att oanmält inte dyka upp till festivalen eller att avbryta arbetet under festivalens gång. Studien försöker att belysa detta ämne och bidra till mer kunskap inom detta fält och ytterligare en upptäckt vi gjort är att den förutspådda skillnaden mellan arbetsledaren och volontärers attityder inte är så stor. Det finns en högre medvetenhet om volontärernas situation hos arbetledare än vad som initialt observerats, men att denna kunskap allt för sällan kan omvandlas till handling. Vi har alltså undersökt volontärers motivation och arbetsledares attityder för att förstå vad bortfallet av ideell arbetskraft under festivaler beror på, både före och under genomförandet. Denna uppsats är riktad mot personer som har ett intresse av fenomenet motivation hos ideell arbetskraft. / The purpose of this study is to increase understanding of what motivates volunteers and what their hopes and expectations are when they come to work at a music festival. We want to examine how motivation theories can be applied on this group of people and by that grasp how volunteers get motivated. During our work with music festivals we realized that there is very little knowledge about the volunteers and how to best work with volunteers at a festival. One thing that particularly captured our interest was the discovery of how many of the volunteers who signed up to work at the festival and then totaly unannounced chose not to show up at the festival at all or to suspend their work during the festival. This study attempts to shed light on this topic and contribute to more knowledge in this field, further more we also discovered that the difference between the supervisor and the volunteers’ attitude was not as great as we predicted. We found out that the supervisors’ awareness of the volunteers’ situation is a greater than initially observed, but that this knowledge infrequently converts into action. We have examined the volunteers’ motivation and the supervisor's attitudes in order to understand what is causing the loss of volunteers during festivals, both before and during implementation. This paper is directed at people who have an interest in the phenomenon motivation of nonprofit workers.

The paper analyzes the relationship between motivation and volitional processes as described by current motivation theories. The root of the separation between both moments of behavioris traced back to Tetens and Kant’s threefold view of the mind. Sensory perception is reduced to feeling and the will to energy without a proper object. The history of this conception isoutlined. Nuttin’s motivation theory is presented as an alternative to the limitations of other contemporary theories. Some educational consequences are sketched out. / Se hace un análisis de la relación entre la motivación y los procesos volitivos, tal como es presentada por las actuales teorías de la motivación, con la tesis de que la separación que éstas plantean entre ambos momentos de la conducta tiene su raíz teórica en la concepción tripartita de la mente, tal como fue formulada a partir de Kant y de Tetens. A partir de estos autores, el sentir se reduce a sentimiento y la voluntad es conceptuada como energía sin objeto propio. Se presentan los hitos históricos principales de este giro y se hace una consideración sintética de la teoría de la motivación de Nuttin, presentada como alternativa superadora de los límites de otras teorías actuales. Se esbozan algunas consecuencias educativas.

Devido à evolução acelerada da tecnologia e à mudança das práticas de gestão, uma série de teorias e análises sobre o futuro do trabalho têm surgido. No entanto, o foco tem se mantido em questões tecnológicas e comerciais, com pouco aprofundamento na área de relações humanas e na compreensão do homem sobre sua própria realização. O aumento do nível de complexidade da discussão do papel do trabalho com temas como propósito e significado nas atividades profissionais desperta a busca por conhecimento sobre os mecanismos da satisfação das necessidades humanas por meio da ação produtiva. Novas formas de trabalho, têm demandado o aumento da autonomia e da individualidade na execução das tarefas. Portanto, este estudo aprofunda-se no conceito de Autorrealização e das pessoas autorrealizadas, segundo Maslow (1954), para identificar sua relação com variáveis de perfil do indivíduo e de sua relação com o trabalho e se há correlação de variáveis de perfil pessoal, histórico profissional e preferências/visão de trabalho, com o índice SISA, que classifica autorrealização nos indivíduos. A pesquisa foi elaborada por método de abordagem quantitativa e aplicada por meio de questionário online composto pelo índice de identificação de autorrealização (SISA) e por questões de identificação de perfil e preferências no trabalho, no 1º semestre de 2018, durante o período de 7 dias, com uma amostra total de 4.048 pessoas. Foram identificados 394 (9,7%) indivíduos autorrealizados. O percentual de pessoas autorrealizadas foi mais acentuado no grupo mais maduro e com mais experiência profissional. A chance de um indivíduo ser autorrealizado mostrou-se correlacionada com o nível educacional. Em relação a pessoas que cursaram apenas o Ensino Médio, indivíduos com nível Superior, Pós-Graduação ou Mestrado/Doutorado têm, respectivamente, mais chance de serem autorrealizados em 1,23, 1,87, 2,48 vezes. Profissionais que atuam em organizações flexíveis, com gestão modernizada, apresentaram o perfil autorrealizado 1,39 vez mais do que os sujeitos que atuam em empresas hierárquicas. A maior parte da amostra (50,7% ou 2.053) trabalha sob o vínculo tradicional (CLT) e apresentou percentual de pessoas autorrealizadas inferior à média da amostra (7,4%). Indivíduos com vínculo de empresário, empreendedor ou autônomo somados apresentaram índice de autorrealização superior (21,3%). 90% das pessoas informaram ter sofrido impactos emocionais negativos no trabalho. Deste modo, verificou-se que profissionais com mais experiência e nível escolar mais elevado, bem como indivíduos que atuam de forma mais autônoma ou trabalham em empresas flexíveis e com modelos de gestão modernos e objetivos negociados tendem a ser mais autorrealizados / Due to fast advances in technology and changes in managerial practices, several theories and studies on the future of work have emerged. However, the focus has been on technological and commercial issues, with little interest for human relations and man\'s understanding of his own actualization. Discussions about the role of work, its meaning and purpose have awakened the search for knowledge about mechanisms of satisfaction of human needs through productive action. New ways of working have demanded an increase in autonomy and individuality in the execution of task. This study relies on Maslows (1954) concept of Self-actualization and aims to identify personal information and historical professional profile and work preferences that will connect and correlate with on statistical basis with the SISA Short Index of Self Actualization. Quantitative data was gathered through online questionnaire applied in the first half of 2018, for a 7-day period, presenting questions about personal and professional profile identification and preferences at work + SISA. Total research sample = 4,048. SISA index of the exercise has identified 394 (9,7%) self-actualizing subjects. Higher self-actualization percentages were identified in the older and more experienced group. The odds of being a self-actualizing person has shown to be correlated with educational level and age. The higher the formal education level of a subject, stronger the probability of being a self-actualizing individual. Subjects working on flexible organizations and contemporary management models show 1,39 times more chance of being self-actualized, than workers on hierarchical organizations. 50,7% of the total sample is composed by individuals working under traditional employment strict rules (CLT). Subjects in this group presents lower probability (7,4%) of being self-actualized. Individuals whose jobs and employment agreements are more flexible and autonomous have superior index for self-actualization. 90% of the sample have mentioned negative emotional impact from previous jobs. Conclusions are that self-actualization potential will be higher as the subject is older, more experienced and has higher educational level. Flexible and autonomous working conditions will also have a positive impact on self-actualization index

The users´ behaviors play an important role in securing information systems. At the same time, the users´ bad behaviors end-up in making them victims to e-crime attacks. To emphasize the positive side of users´ behaviors, the reasons for the bad behaviors must be investigated. In this research, e-crimes on users in Sweden were studied using the protection motivation theory and the theory of planned behavior in order to understand what variables govern the user behaviors. The information retrieved from the literature review and the web survey were used to answer the research question about which variables within the two used theories affect the user behaviors in connection to e-crimes. It turned out that perceived vulnerability, perceived severity, and user-efficacy have significant effect on the selected user behavior. Besides, the analysis of the results showed that IT/IS-knowledge is a determinant factor that affects all the variables of the protection motivation theory.

Titel: Leadership in remote work during the covid-19 pandemic. Level: Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration  Author: Sibel Kervanci & Martial Ntungane  Supervisor: Monika Wallmon Date: 2022 - January Aim: The purpose of this work is with the help of path goal theory to investigate how leaders apply their leadership in remote work. Method: This study has used a qualitative method in the form of 9 semi-structured interviews at the same time as a quantitative method in the form of a questionnaire with 9 participants was produced. Conclusion: The result presented through the study has been that the majority of the respondents showed a mixture of the directive and achievement-oriented leadership behavior. The motivation and relationship of the employees has been affected during the pandemic and to remedy this, all leaders have used digital aids. Contribution of the thesis: This study will contribute to an expanded understanding of how leaders in different industries can lead and motivate employees in times of crisis. The study can benefit both leaders and employees, but the main focus is on how leaders should act during remote work. Suggestions for future research: This study is conducted from a leadership perspective, for further research it would be interesting to present a study based on the path goal theory with a focus on from employee perspective. Regarding the goal path theory, we have based this study on the four leadership styles that House (1974) highlights. However, new leadership styles have been developed since then and it would therefore be interesting to include the new leadership styles in future research. / Titel: Ledarskap vid distansarbete under covid-19 pandemin. Nivå: Examensarbete på Grundnivå i företagsekonomi.  Författare: Sibel Kervanci & Martial Ntungane Handledare: Monika Wallmon  Datum: 2022 - Januari  Syfte: Syftet med detta arbete är att med hjälp av målvägsteorin undersöka hur ledare tillämpar sitt ledarskap vid distansarbete. Metod: Denna studie har använt sig av en kvalitativ metod i form av 9 semistrukturerade intervjuer samtidigt som en kvantitativ metod i form av en enkätundersökning med 9 deltagare framställts.   Resultat och Slutsats:  Resultatet som framförts genom studien har varit att majoriteten av respondenterna uppvisat en blandning av det vägledande och prestationsinriktade ledarbeteendet. Motivationen samt relationen hos medarbetarna har påverkats negativt under pandemin och för att åtgärda detta har samtliga ledare använt sig av digitala hjälpmedel.  Examensarbetets bidrag: Denna studie bidrar till en utökad förståelse kring hur ledare inom olika branscher kan gå tillväga för att leda samt motivera medarbetare vid distansarbete. Studien kommer att kunna tas del av ledare och medarbetare. Fokuset riktas främst till hur ledarna bör agera under distansarbete. Förslag till vidare forskning: I denna studie har vi utgått ifrån ett ledarperspektiv, till vidare forskning hade det varit intressant att framföra en liknande studie som utgår ifrån målvägsteorin men med fokus på medarbetarperspektiv för att kunna få en större uppfattning ur deras synvinkel. Utifrån målvägsteorin har vi utgått ifrån de fyra ledarskapsstilarna som House (1974) belyser.  Det har däremot framtagits nya ledarskapsstilar som hade varit intresseväckande att inkludera i framtida forskning.

Hybrid work is already a big part of many organizations' structure. This phenomenon presents many new ways of how work is performed and carries new challenges with it. Parallel to that, the importance of working IT securely and coping with IT threats is significant in all fields of work. In this case study, we interview employees at a Swedish IT consultancy company, about their perceptions of hybrid work and their perceived ability to keep information secure in a hybrid work setting. Six employees from the company were selected for interviews. These interviews were then analyzed from the theoretical framework of Protection Motivation Theory which presents ways to explain how individuals are motivated to mediate threats alongside the ISO standard which is used to explain coping behaviors. This study concludes that the employees’ perception regarding the ability to keep information secure while working hybridly is diverse. Furthermore, the office has an important role in perceived security. The final finding reveals that current information security guidelines in ISO need to be updated or expanded to better guide organizations implementing remote work.
