Äldreomsorg är i snar framtid i stort behov av mer arbetskraft och enligt SCB redan 2032 kommer det råda stor arbetsbrist inom området. För att kunna behålla den arbetskraften som redan arbetar inom området äldreomsorg bör vi ta reda på mer om deras tankar om ledarskap, motivation och om upplevelsen av arbetsglädje och vilka preferenser och vilka faktorer det beror på. Syftet med denna studie är att öka kunskapen om vilka förväntningar några av den yngre generationen medarbetare har på ledare samt vad som motiverar dem till att arbeta inom äldreomsorgen. Till denna studie valdes den kvalitativa metoden med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Fem respondenter födda mellan 1978 fram till 1995 deltog i studien. Studiens resultat visade på att ledarskaps preferenser för respondenterna är att bra ledare bör vara både relationsorienterad och uppgiftsorienterad. Ledaregenskaper som tagits upp av de svarande är att en ledare ska vara; rak, tydlig, effektiv, lyhörd, närvarande, rättvist och vara bra på kommunikatör. Det finns tre faktorer som är anslutna till motivation som är viktiga är lön, stimulerande arbete, social interaktion och social status. När det gäller arbetsglädje framkom tre faktorer som är viktiga och de är; arbetsgruppen, arbetets innehåll och ledaren själv.

The first year occupational therapy students at the University of Pretoria participated in this study to determine the impact of an interactive multimedia CD ‘Basic Biomechanics for therapists’ on learning measured as achievement. E-learning was employed in an effort to remain at the cutting-edge of tertiary education for the y-generation student. Analysis confirmed a significant improvement of t=0.00 with a table value of t>0.05 in the achievement of the participants over four tests. A survey was conducted to determine the experience of the participants. Results indicated that the use of the CD was experienced positively. The learning style profile of the target group was determined to identify possible relationship between the learning style proponents and change in achievement. A relationship between the learning style proponents and the change in achievement was identified. There are still unanswered questions that may be answered by further research to add to the findings of this study. / Dissertation (MOcc)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / gm2014 / Occupational Therapy / unrestricted

The purpose of the study is to determine the influence of the Y-generation students’ preferences on office layout and how important the workplace is in attracting, recruiting and retaining Generation Y workers. The objectives of this study revolves around Generation Y’s preferences about their future workplace, what workspace design and technology they would like in the office, their travel preferences to work, how the workplace can contribute towards job satisfaction and other facilities they prefer to have access to on site. The research sample consisted of 334 students from the University of Pretoria. These participants were approached on a convenience basis as well as advertised via social networks to complete the survey online. A multi-dimensional data analysis to enable an accurate assessment of the specific objectives guided the study. This study enables a better understanding of Generation Y and what their workplace preferences entail. Businesses can gain an understanding of how they can use their real estate and facilities as strategic assets to attract and retain the Y-Generation talent pool. Social, demographic and economic changes are causing a severe skills shortage. People are attracted to workplaces where values are clearly communicated. Generation Y in particular is ready to engage with companies that provide the environments in which they will thrive. Workplace design is likely to become a strategic weapon in the battle to attract and retain scarce young talent in today’s increasingly competitive global economy. The results have shown that employers should keep up to the rapid technological growth and not fall behind. Companies should transform workplaces which allow for individual work, collaborative tasks and provide an environmentally green workplace – not only into its design, but also in the way employees work. / Dissertation (MCom)--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Human Resource Management / unrestricted

Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 16 profissionais, entre gestores, profissionais de recursos humanos e profissionais da Geração Y, em três empresas de tecnologia que estavam vivenciando momentos distintos de sua trajetória. As categorias estudadas e abordadas na fundamentação teórica foram a Geração Y, abrangendo os jovens nascidos entre 1980 e 1990, e o processo de liderança. Os resultados demonstraram que as três empresas, apesar de não possuírem ações dirigidas para a geração Y, têm adotado posturas que vão ao encontro das necessidades e características dessa geração. Dentre essas características estão a motivação atrelada a novos desafios, o forte conhecimento tecnológico, o comportamento participativo, a inquietude, a personalidade individualista e crítica, a visão de curto prazo, a criatividade e a busca pela flexibilidade e pela informalidade no ambiente de trabalho. As empresas, por sua vez, apesar de estarem fundamentadas numa estrutura hierárquica top-down, apresentam um processo de liderança mais descentralizado, valorizando as relações no trabalho, as quais são constituídas com base no conhecimento técnico e na delegação, e caracterizadas pela autonomia com responsabilidade. Verificou-se que as empresas estão implantando programas de sugestões, de desenvolvimento individual e abrindo espaço para contestação, sugerindo uma evolução nos seus processos de liderança, de forma a atender às necessidades do setor, da nova geração de profissionais, e na direção de uma liderança mais complexa.
