Les études des déterminants de la motivation au travail ont jusque-là privilégié le rôle de facteurs intrinsèques et facteurs extrinsèques. Prolongeant ces travaux, cette thèse teste l’impact des traits culturels sur la motivation au travail dans les institutions publiques dans le contexte haïtien. Quatre construits ont été identifiés :(i) la croyance en l’omnipotence des divinités, (ii) la foi en l’aide des autres, (iii) la philosophie de passage et du détachement, (iv) la tension vers l’égalitarisme. Une démarche méthodologique basée sur le cadre conceptuel de Churchill (1979) a été adoptée. Une exploration du terrain a été effectuée à partir de l’analyse de cas multiples en vue de mieux comprendre la relation qui existe entre les valeurs culturelles et la motivation au travail des agents public haïtien. Cette approche qualitative a été succédée d’une approche quantitative. Ainsi, 617 questionnaires valides ont été codifiés et saisis sur SPSS. L’analyse en composantes principales a été adoptée. La méthode de régression linéaire multiple des MCO a été utilisée. Les résultats obtenus ont montré que les variables socio-culturelles (la croyance en la puissance divine, la solidarité et la Vie Instant présent) ont chacune une incidence positive et significative sur la motivation au travail. En revanche, la croyance en la limitation humaine, la médiation d’autrui, le niveau d’aspiration, l’Auto-Retrait, le conformisme, le déni de succès et l’absence de culture d’émulation ont tous une influence négative sur la motivation au travail. Par ailleurs, six facteurs intrinsèques et extrinsèques ainsi que des tactiques de mise en œuvre dans la fonction publique ont été identifiés. / The studies of work motivation’s determinants have so far favored the role of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Extending these studies, this thesis tests the impact of cultural traits on Work motivation in public institutions in the Haitian context. Four constructs were identified: (i) Belief in the omnipotence of gods, (ii) Belief in the help of others, (iii) Philosophy of passage and unconcern, (iv) Tension towards egalitarianism. A methodological approach based on conceptual framework of Churchill (1979) has been adopted. An exploration study has been done from multiple case analysis to better understand the relationship between cultural values and Civil servants’ work motivation in Haiti. After this qualitative approach, a quantitative approach was used. 617 valid questionnaires were coded and entered using SPSS 16.0. Principal component analysis (PCA) was adopted. Multiple linear regression method was used. The results showed that the sociocultural characteristics: Belief in the omnipotence of gods, belief in the help of others, philosophy of passage and the tension towards egalitarianism significantly influence work motivation of Haitian civil servants. Indeed, we found that three of the socio-cultural variables (belief in god’s power, solidarity and Living in the moment) have a positive and significant impact on work motivation. However, the belief in human limitation, the mediation of others, the aspiration level, Self- Withdrawal, conformity, denial of success and lack of emulation culture have all negatively influence on work motivation. In addition, six intrinsic and extrinsic factors and tactics of implementation in the civil service have been identified.

”När pengarna rullar in är man motiverad” är en kandidatuppsats i Sociologi skriven av Olivia Pettersson och My Andersson. Syftet med studien är att undersöka ett prestationsbaserat belöningssystem och dess effekter på arbetsmotivation samt upplevd arbetskvalité, detta genom att göra en fallstudie på ett bemanningsföretag i Stockholm. Undersökningen är kvalitativ och genomfördes med hjälp av tematiskt öppna intervjuer tillsammans med fem anställda hos det företag vi valt att här kalla LevereraMera. Tidigare forskning av Eriksson et al. (2002) samt av Schou (1991) visar att lönen är av betydelse för arbetsmotivationen, men att andra faktorer är av större betydelse samt att ingen faktor kan fungera isolerad från andra. Ingen av dessa studier väljer att inkludera fenomenet arbetskvalité samt är av kvantitativ karaktär, vilka är två motiv till denna studie.   Den insamlade empirin analyseras med hjälp av studiens teoretiska ramverk, Herzbergs tvåfaktorteori och Skinners förstärkningsteori. Resultaten visar att det prestationsbaserade belöningssystemet som råder hos LevereraMera har en viss positiv effekt på medarbetarnas arbetsmotivation, men att den inte verkar isolerad från andra, också avgörande, faktorer. Det går inte att urskilja att belöningssystemet har en direkt negativ påverkan på medarbetarnas upplevda arbetskvalité. Något som dock framgår av studien är att upplevelsen av rättvisa samt viljan att samarbeta påverkas negativt av det rådande belöningssystemet, vilket kan leda till en indirekt negativ påverkan på företagets generella arbetskvalité. / "När pengarna rullar in är man motiverad" is a bachelorthesis in Sociology written by Olivia Pettersson and My Andersson. The purpose of the study is to investigate a performance-based reward system and its effects on motivation and perceived job quality, this by doing a case study of a staffing and recruitment company in Stockholm. The study is qualitative and was carried out with the help of thematically open interviews with five employees of a company we have chosen to call LevereraMera. Previous research by Eriksson et al. (2002) and by Schou (1991) show that the salary is of importance for work motivation, but that other factors are more important and that no factor can work in isolation from others. None of these studies choose to include the phenomenon of labor quality and they are of a quantitative nature, which are two motives for this study.   The collected empirical data was analyzed using the theoretical framework, Herzberg’s two-factor theory and Skinner’s reinforcement theory. The results show that the performance-based reward system used at LevereraMera has some positive effect on employee motivation, but it does not function isolated from other, also decisive, factors. It is not possible to discern that the reward system has a direct negative impact on employees' perceived job quality, what is however clear from the study is that the perception of fairness and willingness to cooperate is adversely affected by the current reward system, which can lead to an indirect negative impact on the company's general labor quality.
