Educação ambiental e ciência-cidadã : interfaces na formação e estímulo ao voluntariado em um parque nacional brasileiro /

Rumenos, Nijima Novello. January 2020 (has links)
Orientador: Maria de Lourdes Spazziani / Resumo: A Ciência-Cidadã propõe fertilizar o saber científico com outros saberes, como o conhecimento popular, sendo realizado por pessoas que se interessam pela Ciência e se preocupam com a questão ambiental. Atrelado a isto têm-se a perspectiva da Educação Ambiental crítica que visa uma reaproximação do ser humano com a natureza e o repensar das ações em ambientes naturais. Os parques nacionais, afilados ao Instituto Chico Mendes de Biodiversidade (ICMBio), se constituem em locais abertos à visitação e possuem estreitas relações com as comunidades do entorno. Desta forma, têm sido considerados locais privilegiados para a contextualização de pesquisas envolvendo pesquisadores de universidades, organizações não-governamentais (ONG) e a própria comunidade local. Assim, a pesquisa aqui apresentada tem como principal objetivo analisar a contribuição do Programa Consciência-Cidadã na formação socioambiental crítica e no engajamento social dos sujeitos. O tipo de pesquisa é qualitativo, tendo por base os fundamentos da psicologia histórico-cultural Vigotskiniana, a qual deve considerar a concretude, a totalidade e a dinâmica dos fenômenos sociais construídos historicamente. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram: questionários e entrevistas aplicadas aos sujeitos participantes dos três cursos realizados pelo Programa ConsCiência-Cidadã no Parque Nacional da Serra dos Órgãos (PARNASO) e observações das aulas dos cursos e de reuniões dos pesquisadores do Programa. Se utilizou da “Análise ...

Linked to this, it has a critical Environmental Education perspective that aims at bringing human beings closer to nature and paying for actions in natural environments. National parks, affiliated with the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity (ICMBio), can exhibit a visit in open places and present close relations with the surrounding communities. Thus, these places were considered privileged for the contextualization of research by researchers, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the local community itself. Thus, the research presented here has as main objective to analyze the contribution of the Citizen Consciousness Program in the critical socio-environmental formation and in the social engagement of the subjects. The type of qualitative research, based on the foundations of historicalcritical pedagogy and Vygotskynian historical-cultural psychology, must consider the concreteness, totality and dynamics of historically constructed social phenomena. It uses the Content Analysis proposed by Bardin, the questionnaires and interviews of the subjects participating in the three courses offered by the Conscience-Citizen Program in the Serra dos Órgãos National Park (PARNASO), in addition to observing the course classes and meetings of the project search.

Zum Vorhandensein des zahnmedizinischen Bonusheftes bei jungen Senioren: Beobachtungen, Auswirkungen und Effekte

Maas, Benedikt Theodor 22 March 2017 (has links)
Im Jahr 1986 wurde über das Gesundheitsreformgesetz ein zahnmedizinisches Bonusheft für gesetzliche Krankenversicherte eingeführt. Über dieses sollte mit der Möglichkeit einer erhöhten Zuzahlung bei Zahnersatz ein Anreiz für eine Individualprophylaxe in Form von regelmäßigen jährlichen zahnärztlichen Kontrolluntersuchung geschaffen werden. Im Gegensatz zur Einführung des Systems befundbezogener Festzuschüsse im Jahr 2005 wurde eine begleitende Evaluation des Systems nicht durchgeführt. Im Zuge des demographischen Wandels in Deutschland mit einer überproportionalen Zunahme der älteren Bevölkerung, bis 2060 werden 9 Millionen bzw. 13 % der Bevölkerung über 85 Jahre alt sein, kommt der Erforschung des Alterns eine hohe Bedeutung zu. Dieser widmet sich die Interdisziplinäre Längsschnittstudie des Erwachsenenalters (ILSE). Zum ILSE-Untersuchungszeitpunkt 2006 wurden soziodemographische und dentale Parameter, die Inanspruchnahme von zahnmedizinischen Leistungen und mundgesundheitsbezogenes Verhalten sowie das Vorhandensein des zahnmedizinischen Bonusheftes erhoben. Mit diesen Daten werden Beobachtungen, Auswirkungen und Effekte des Bonusheftes bei jungen Senioren auf ihre orale Gesundheit sowie das mundgesundheitsbezogene Verhalten untersucht. Hierzu wurden zwischen 2005 und 2006 insgesamt 240 Probanden aus Heidelberg und Leipzig mit den Geburtsjahren 1930-1932 mit einem Durchschnittsalter von 74 Jahren untersucht und befragt. Über eine Selektion von gesetzlich Versicherten mit der beantworteten Frage nach dem zahnmedizinischen Bonusheft ergaben sich 182 Probanden (88 Frauen, 94 Männer). Hiervon kamen 81 aus Heidelberg und 101 aus Leipzig. Alle Probanden ohne zahnmedizinisches Bonusheft, bis auf einen, waren in Heidelberg ansässig. Die soziodemographischen Faktoren umfassen das Geschlecht, Ort und Bildungsstand in Jahren. Zu dem Inanspruchnahme- und mundgesundheits-bezogenen Verhalten wurden die Parameter GOHAI, OHIP, Bedeutung der Mundgesundheit, Vorhandensein des eigenen Zahnarztes, Besuchsverhalten, Häufigkeit der Kontrollbesuche, Zurückliegen des letzten Zahnarztbesuchs und der Grund des Zahnarztbesuchs (Schmerzen, Wunsch auf neue Prothese, Kontrolle, Bonusheft) ausgewertet. Die dentalen Parameter beinhalten den DMF/T, mDMF/T, Anzahl vorhandener Zähne (28/32) und Zahnlosigkeit. Die statistische Auswertung erfolgte mit SPSS 15.0.1. Es wurden den Parametern entsprechend der exakte Test nach Fischer, der Odds Ratio und der Mann-Whitney-U-Test als statistische Testverfahren genutzt. Aufgrund des enggeschnittenen Alterslimits, der städtischen Region und der Ungleichverteilung der Studienteilnehmer ohne zahnmedizinisches Bonusheft sind Abweichungen möglich und Verallgemeinerungen auf die Gesamtbevölkerung nur eingeschränkt möglich. Zudem sind Fragen zum Ursache-Wirkung-Verhältnis wegen der retrospektiven Betrachtung der Daten nicht endgültig zu beantworten. Signifikant mehr zahnmedizinische Bonushefte besaßen Probanden aus Leipzig und solche mit einer längeren Bildungsdauer. Das Geschlecht hatte keinen Einfluss auf das Vorhandensein eines Bonushefts. In Bezug auf das Inanspruchnahmeverhalten von zahnmedizinischen Leistungen konnte festgestellt werden, dass Teilnehmende mit Bonusheft signifikant eher einen eigenen Zahnarzt haben, der Mundgesundheit eine höhere Bedeutung beimaßen und kontrollorientierter, mindestens einmal im Jahr, zum Zahnarzt gingen, als Probanden ohne Bonusheft. Der letzte Zahnarztbesuch lag für diese Gruppen im Median 4 zu 15 Monaten signifikant unterschiedlich lang zurück. Der Grund des letzten Zahnarztbesuchs war für Studienteilnehmer ohne Bonusheft signifikant eher Schmerzen oder der Wunsch nach einer neuen Prothese und weniger der Wunsch nach Kontrolle oder wegen des Bonushefts. Das Risiko, wegen Schmerzen zum Zahnarzt zu gehen, war für diese Probanden um 7,2 erhöht. Die Einschätzung der subjektiven Mundgesundheit ergab für Probanden mit Bonusheft für den GOHAI einen signifikant niedrigeren Wert und somit bessere Einschätzung der Mundgesundheit, wobei der OHIP nur einen tendenziellen Unterschied erkennen lies. Bei der Untersuchung der dentalen Parameter fiel eine signifikant höhere Zahnlosigkeit, ein höherer DMF/T sowie mDMF/T und eine geringere Anzahl von Zähnen bei Probanden ohne Bonusheft auf. So hatten diese Teilnehmer im Median 16 Zähne weniger und ein 6,8-fach erhöhtes Risiko zahnlos zu sein. Bemerkenswert war bei diesen Studienteilnehmern auch, dass der Median des DMF/T bzw. des mDMF/T beim jeweiligen Maximalwert von 28 bzw. 32 lag. Durch diese Ergebnisse zeigt das zahnmedizinische Bonusheft unter Berücksichtigung der Limitierungen dieser Studie einen positiven Effekt auf die orale Gesundheit und ein mundgesundheitsbewussteres Verhalten. Insgesamt handelt sich jedoch um ein rein reparatives System ohne zeitlichen Zusammen-hang zwischen Aktion und Bonus, welches erst einen Nutzen für den „Zahnkranken“ und nicht den „Zahngesunden“ hat. Eine Ausdehnung des Bonussystems um Leistungen, die auch „Zahngesunde“ in Anspruch nehmen können, wie z.B. professionelle Zahnreinigungen, wäre wünschenswert.

Exploring the limits of incentive compatibility and allocative efficiency in complex economic environments

Reinhardt, Markus 29 April 2014 (has links)
In this dissertation auction formats are developed and discussed that focus on three specific economic environments. Regarding the impossibility results from mechanism design, the main task for the implementation of auction designs is to balance allocative efficiency and incentive compatibility – the main characteristics a mechanism should provide. Therefore, the dissertation investigates the limits of conceivable relaxations of allocative efficiency and incentive compatibility for complex settings such as double auctions, interdependent-valuation environments and electricity market designs. The overall aim is to carefully weigh up the advantages and disadvantages for either relaxing allocative efficiency or respectively incentive compatibility.:Preface … 7 1. Introduction … 8 1.1.

SMART CITY: A PROTOTYPE FOR CARBON FOOTPRINT MOBILE APP

Fazeli, Seyed Mohammad January 2014 (has links)
Global warming has increased significantly over the past decades and at its center, there are human factors which have the greatest impacts on productions of carbon dioxide which is considered as a primary greenhouse gas in development of global warming. Greenhouse gas emissions and, in particular, carbon dioxide emissions are growing significantly to the extent that if no initiatives are taken, it can have dramatic consequences for our future generations and in general for human’s life on Earth, therefore we need means by which we can control and maintain the levels of greenhouse gas emissions and in particular carbon dioxide emissions. One of the efficient solutions that can significantly decrease the levels of carbon dioxide emissions is the construction and development of smart cities. In this context (smart city), individuals can play an important role in reducing the CO2 emissions. By considering the new opportunities that can result from development of Smart Cities and the essential role of information and communication technology (ICT) in such cities, this thesis work tries to introduce the idea of a self-tracking Carbon Footprint mobile application which enables users to keep track of their individual’s carbon dioxide emissions occurred as a result of their daily activities such as eating, transportation, shopping, energy consumption, and etc. in real time. Being able to measure the generated carbon footprint with respect to each of the user’s activities, users will be able to monitor and control it. This monitoring and controlling of one’s carbon footprint can have significant influences in reducing those human factors which result in production of more carbon dioxide gases and consequently more global warming effects.

Belöningssystem för arbetare : En fallstudie på ett industriföretag / Reward system towards blue-collar workers : A case study at a industrial company

Haxhiu, Agonis, Glasberg, Max January 2021 (has links)
Bakgrund och problem: Ett välkänt ekonomiskt styrmedel som används av företagsledare för att motivera anställda till att utföra prestationer som ligger i linje med företagets mål är belöningssystem. Belöningssystem fungerar olika i olika branscher och måste anpassas efter typ av verksamhet och anställda. Ett relativt outforskat område är industribranschen, här utförs ofta kärnprocessen av arbetarna på golvet vilket gör det intressant att se hur ett industriföretag jobbar med belöningssystem mot dessa typer av anställda och identifiera kritiska områden för belöningssystemets funktion mot arbetare då detta är ett ostuderat område. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att bidra med ökad förståelse om hur industriföretag jobbar med belöningssystem gentemot arbetare och vad dessa arbetare har för erfarenheter av detta system. Metod: En kvalitativ fallstudie är utförd på företaget Atlas Copco Power Technique Nordic som är verksamma inom industribranschen. Åtta respondenter har intervjuats genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Studien har anammat en abduktiv forskningsansats  Slutsats: Atlas Copco Power Technique Nordic använder sig av många olika belöningar i olika former för att motivera sina anställda, en kombination av icke-monetära belöningar är den främsta nyckeln för att skapa motivation hos anställda. Det framkommer att de monetära belöningarna exklusive lön inte har betydande påverkan på arbetarnas motivation och vilja att prestera. Det visar sig även att mål och rättvisa har en betydande roll vad gäller arbetarnas positiva inställning till belöningssystemet. / Background and problem: A well-known financial instrument used by business leaders to motivate employees to perform in line with the company's goal is the reward system. Reward systems work differently in different industries and must therefore be adapted to the type of business and type of employees in an organization. A relatively unexplored area is the industrial industry. Here the core processes are often performed by the blue-collar workers which makes it interesting to see how an industrial company works with reward systems towards these types of workers and identify critical areas for the reward system's function towards blue-collar workers as this is an unstudied area. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to contribute to an increased understanding of how industrial companies work with reward systems towards blue-collar workers and what experience these workers have of this system. Method: A qualitative case study has been carried out at the company Atlas Copco Power Technique Nordic, which is active in the industrial industry. Eight respondents were interviewed through semi-structured interviews. The study has adopted an abductive research approach  Conclusion: Atlas Copco Power Technique Nordic uses many different rewards in different ways to motivate its employees, and the combination of non-monetary rewards is the main key to creating motivation in employees. It appears that the monetary rewards excluding wages have no meaningful effect on blue collar worker’s motivation and desire to perform. It also appears that goalsetting and justice play a significant role in terms of blue collar worker’s positive attitudes towards the reward system.

Metapopulations, Markets and the Individual: Refining incentive-based approaches for biodiversity conservation on private lands

Hartig, Florian 27 January 2010 (has links)
When designing financial incentives for voluntary conservation of threatened habitats and ecosystems, we are faced with the problem that there is no single indicator for "biodiversity value". The value of a habitat depends on multiple factors such as habitat type, area, and spatial and temporal connectivity. Moreover, not only are there local trade-offs between these indicators, but land use changes at one location may also change the value of sites in the vicinity. This doctoral thesis analyzes the consequences of including trade-offs and interactions between sites in market-based conservation schemes. We ask the following questions: How can trade-offs between the survival of different species be quantified? How can spatial processes and temporal processes be included in market-based conservation, in particular the value of spatial and temporal connectivity? And how do underlying economic dynamics relate to the spatio-temporal allocation of conservation measures in market-based conservation schemes?

Applications of game theory to distributed routing and delay tolerant networking / Applications de la théorie des jeux au routage distribué et aux réseaux tolérants aux délais

Seregina, Tatiana 18 November 2014 (has links)
Deux situations de comportement égoïste des agents dans les réseaux de communication sont considérées dans le cadre de la théorie des jeux.La première situation concerne les réseaux de communication utilisant un routage décentralisé basé sur des agents autonomes. Nous étudions les propriétés de convergence des dynamiques de meilleures réponses dans un jeu de routage sur des liens parallèles. Le jeu implique un nombre fini d'agents, chacun décidant comment son trafic est routé sur les liens de manière à minimiser son propre coût. Nous proposons l'utilisation du rayon spectral généralisé des matrices Jacobiennes de l'opérateur de meilleure réponse pour démontrer la convergence.La seconde situation apparaît dans les réseaux tolérants aux délais dont l'objectif est de permettre la communication dans des environnements où la connectivité n'est qu'intermittente et où les délais de communication peuvent être très longs. Nous proposons tout d'abord un mécanisme d'incitation basé sur une récompense pour convaincre les noeuds mobiles de relayer les messages, et analysons l'influence de l'information donnée par la source (nombre de copies du message, âge de ces copies) aux relais sur le prix à payer pour transmettre le message. Nous considérons ensuite un modèle dans lequel la source propose une récompense fixe. Les noeuds mobiles peuvent alors décider d'accepter ou non le message, et s'ils l'acceptent, peuvent ensuite à tout moment décider de l'abandonner. Nous modélisons l'interaction entre les noeuds mobiles sous la forme d'un jeu stochastique partiellement observable et analysons les politiques optimales pour les relais. / This thesis focuses on the issues related to the selfish behavior of the agents in the communication networks. We are particularly interested in two situations in which these issues arise and we address game-theoretical framework to study them.The first situation relates to communication networks using a distributed routing based on autonomous agents. Compared to a centralized routing, this type of routing offers significant advantages in terms of scalability, ease of deployment or robustness to failures and environmental disturbances. We investigate the convergence properties of the sequential best-response dynamics in a routing game over parallel links. The game involves a finite number of routing agents each of which decides how much flow to route on each of the links with the objective of minimizing its own costs. For some particular cases (e.g., two players), the convergence of the best-response dynamics can be proved by showing that this game has a potential function. For other cases, a potential function has remained elusive. We propose the use of non-linear spectral radius of the Jacobian of the best-response dynamics as an alternative approach to proving its convergence.The second situation occurs in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) that have been the subject of intensive research over the past decade. DTN has an idea to support communication in environments where connectivity is intermittent and where communication delays can be very long. We focus on game-theoretic models for DTNs. First, we propose an incentive mechanism to persuade selfish mobile nodes to participate in relaying messages, and investigate the influence of the information given by the source (number of existing copies of the message, age of these copies) to the relays on the rewards proposed. For static information polices, that is the same type of information given to all the relays, it is shown that the expected reward paid by the source is independent of the policy. However, the source can reduce the reward by dynamically adapting the type of information based on the meeting times with the relays. For the particular cases, we give some structural results of the optimal adaptive policy. Next, we consider the model where the source proposes a fixed reward. The mobile relays can decide to accept or not the packet and then to drop the packet in the future. This game can be modelled as a partially-observable stochastic game. For two relays, we have shown that the optimal policies for the relays relates to the threshold type.

The Governance Asymmetries of Private Equity : A Case Study of The General & Limited Partner Relationship at EQT and Norrsken22

Östervall, Albin, Fellin, Samuel January 2022 (has links)
This thesis examines the governance framework of two Venture Capital funds within the Private Equity industry; EQT Ventures II and Norrsken22. Building upon the research of Appelbaum and Batt (2021) concerning the general and limited partner relationship asymmetries of power, information, and incentives, the study further audits the imbalances from the perspective of the funds' general partners. An empirical basis was formed by conducting two interviews with suitable representatives from EQT, along with one interview and a governance document with Norrsken22. The paper finds that both are actively working on reducing asymmetries on a strategic and operating level. EQT has divisions and digital tools whose primary purpose is to bridge information gaps, a comprehensive due diligence process to increase the understanding of the power balance, and a financial framework to ensure that conflicts of interest are avoided. Norrsken22 tries to involve their Limited Partners in their operational work by creating a community of Limited Partners, thus bringing them closer to the General Partner role. The study could have involved a Limited Partner perspective instead of limiting the scope to the company's and General Partners' thoughts. Regardless, it depicts an inside perspective of the asymmetries shown and the counteractions initiated in response, a perspective not previously explored in academic papers. / Denna avhandling undersöker styrningsramen för två riskkapitalfonder inom Private Equity-branschen: EQT Ventures II och Norrsken22. Med utgångspunkt i Appelbaum och Batts (2021) forskning om asymmetrierna i förhållandet mellan fondförvaltare och investerare när det gäller makt, information och incitament, granskas dessa obalanser ytterligare i studien ur fondernas generalägares perspektiv. En empirisk grund bildades genom att genomföra två intervjuer med lämpliga representanter från EQT samt en intervju och ett styrdokument med Norrsken22. I studien konstateras att båda arbetar aktivt med att minska asymmetrierna på strategisk såväl som operativ nivå. EQT har avdelningar och digitala verktyg vars främsta syfte är att överbrygga informationsbrister, en omfattande due diligence-process för att öka förståelsen för maktbalansen och ett finansiellt ramverk för att säkerställa att intressekonflikter undviks. Norrsken22 försöker involvera sina investerare i det operativa arbetet genom att skapa en gemenskap sinsemellan och på så sätt föra dem närmare rollen som fondförvaltare. Studien kunde ha involverat ett investerarperspektiv i stället för att begränsa undersökningen till företagets och generalägarens tankar. Oavsett detta visar avhandlingen ett inifrånperspektiv på de asymmetrier som uppvisas och de motåtgärder som initieras som svar, ett perspektiv som inte tidigare har utforskats i akademiska artiklar.

[en] DEFINING REGULATORY DEFAULT TARGETS FOR ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTORS IN BRAZIL: PROPOSING A MODEL BASED ON FUZZY LOGIC / [pt] DEFINIÇÃO DAS METAS REGULATÓRIAS DE INADIMPLÊNCIA PARA AS DISTRIBUIDORAS DE ENERGIA ELÉTRICA NO BRASIL: PROPOSIÇÃO DE UM MODELO BASEADO EM LÓGICA FUZZY

NIVIA MARIA CELESTINO 24 June 2021 (has links)
[pt] A definição de metas regulatórias de inadimplência é um tema de extrema importância para as distribuidoras de energia elétrica, para a agência reguladora e para todos os consumidores, visto que tem forte impacto sobre as tarifas de energia. Encontrar uma metodologia de simples implantação e que atenda, simultaneamente, às necessidades de todos os envolvidos, é um grande desafio. A presente dissertação se propõe a testar a metodologia de inferência fuzzy, conforme proposta de ZADEH (1965), com vistas a propor um modelo para a definição das metas regulatórias de inadimplência de energia. No Brasil a atual metodologia proposta pela ANEEL para a definição de metas regulatórias de inadimplência está atrelada à metodologia de perdas não técnicas, a qual, por sua vez, tem sido alvo de críticas pelas distribuidoras e pelo meio acadêmico. Dessa forma, uma metodologia independente para a definição das metas regulatórias de inadimplência tende a beneficiar todos os agentes envolvidos. A metodologia de Inferência fuzzy trouxe resultados diretos, que ficaram muito próximos aos obtidos pela metodologia da ANEEL. Os resultados da utilização da Inferência fuzzy para a obtenção das metas regulatórias da inadimplência mostraram que é possível persistir nesse caminho, uma vez que a metodologia proposta se desvincula da metodologia de perdas não técnicas, mantendo os princípios da regulação por incentivo e captando a heterogeneidade das diversas áreas de concessão. / [en] Defining regulatory default targets is an extremely important issue for electricity distributors, the regulatory agency and all consumers, as it has a strong impact on energy tariffs. Finding a methodology that is easy to implement and that simultaneously meets the needs of everyone involved is a major challenge. This dissertation proposes to test the fuzzy inference methodology, as proposed by ZADEH (1965), with a view to proposing a model for the definition of regulatory energy default targets. In Brazil, the current methodology proposed by ANEEL for the definition of regulatory default targets is linked to the methodology of non-technical losses, which, in turn, has been the target of criticism by the distributors and the academic environment. Thus, an independent methodology for defining regulatory default targets tends to benefit all agents involved. The fuzzy Inference methodology brought direct results, which were very close to those obtained by the ANEEL methodology. The results of using fuzzy inference to achieve the regulatory goals of default showed that it is possible to persist in this path, since the proposed methodology is detached from the non-technical losses methodology, maintaining the principles of regulation by incentive and capturing the heterogeneity of the several concession areas.

Motivation och incitament för Generation Y : Hur ska man få den nya generationen att stanna? En fallstudie i HSB Stockholm Förvaltning / Motivation and incentives for Generation Y

Mörke, Oscar January 2017 (has links)
Tidigare studier inom generationsväxlingar menar på att det finns skillnader mellan generationers värderingar och vad de prioriterar. En viktig faktor av det hela är att se till vad Generation Y blir motiverade av och hur HSB Stockholm Förvaltning bör arbeta med hur det ska få denna generation att stanna inom företaget.  Studien syftar till att ge en ökad förståelse kring hur den valda fall organisationen, HSB Stockholm Förvaltning framgångsrikt ska hantera den pågående generationsväxlingen med hänsyn till hur de arbetar med incitament och motivation med syfte att medarbetare ska stanna inom organisationen. I denna kvalitativa fallstudie har intervjuer av semistrukturerad karaktär genomförts för att belysa studiens frågeställningar. Sammanfattningsvis är slutsatsen av studien att HSB Stockholm Förvaltnings arbete med incitament och motivation måste individualisera och i ännu högre utsträckning anpassas till de nya medarbetarnas behov, förutsättningar och önskemål. Organisationen bör särskilt se över Generation Y:s krav på utveckling och kompetensförsörjning. Organisationen bör även se till Generation Y:s mer påtagliga krav på företagets arbete med hållbarhet och etiska profil samt att medarbetare vill ha en större mening i sitt arbete / Previous studies in generational changes mean that there are differences between generations values and what they prioritize. An important factor of the whole is to make sure what Generation Y is motivated by and how, as an employer, you should work on how to make this generation stay within the company. The aim of the study is to provide a better understanding of how the chosen case organization, HSB Stockholm Förvaltning, successfully manages the current generation change, taking into account how to work with incentives and motivation with the aim of employees staying within the organization. In this qualitative case study interviews of semistructured nature have been conducted to highlight the study's questions. The conclusion of the study is that the work of incentives and motivation by HSB Stockholm property management must individualize and to an even greater extent be adapted to the needs, prerequisites and wishes of the new employees. Particular attention should be paid to Generation Y's development and competence development requirements. The organization should also ensure Generation Y's more tangible requirements for the company's work with sustainability and ethical profile and that, as a co-workers, Generation Y’s requires a greater meaning in their work life.
