Ideella organisationer har en stor betydelse för det svenska samhället. För att de ideella organisationerna ska kunna fortsätta bidra till samhället är det viktigt att organisationerna är tillräckligt attraktiva för att rekrytera och behålla ideella arbetare eftersom dessa individer är väsentliga för de ideella organisationernas överlevnad. Då de som arbetar ideellt inte får någon monetär ersättning uppstod frågan vad som motiverar dem till arbetet. Syftet med detta arbete är därför att undersöka vad som motiverar unga vuxna till att arbeta ideellt utan monetär ersättning. Studien har följt en kvalitativ forskningsmetod. Datainsamlingen har genomförts genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med 14 respondenter som har arbetat ideellt inom en studentförening på en högskola eller ett universitet i Sverige under de senaste två åren. Resultatet visar på fem utmärkande motivationsfaktorer hos respondenterna: gemenskap, möjligheten att påverka, personlig utveckling, karriärutveckling och yttre påverkan. Den insamlade datan har analyserats utifrån motivationsteorier samt tidigare forskning inom ämnet. Studiens slutsats är att de som arbetar ideellt upplever en form av icke-monetär belöning bland annat socialt nätverk, erfarenhet och personlig utveckling. / Non-profit organizations have great importance for Swedish society. In order to make it possible for non-profit organizations to continue contributing, it is important that the organizations are attractive enough to be able to recruit and keep the volunteers since they are essential for the survival of non-profit organizations. Since the non-profit volunteers execute labor without monetary compensation, the question arose regarding their motivation. The purpose of this essay is to examine what motivates young adults to work without monetary compensation. A qualitative method has been used to study this subject, using semi-structured interviews with 14 participants who have worked in a non-profit student association at a college or university in Sweden during the last two years. The results showed five distinctive motivators for the respondents: a sense of belonging, the possibility to make a difference, personal development, career development, and external influence. The collected data was analyzed based on motivation theories and previous studies within the subject. The conclusion of the study is that volunteers in non-profit organizations experience non-monetary compensation, for instance social networking, experience, and personal development.

This study examines the motivation factors that make some individuals (terrorists) confidential informants. The study is based on the assumptions of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and Herzberg’s motivation-hygiene theories. Accordingly, main assumption of the present study is that some individuals with unsatisfied needs in religion-abusing terrorist (RAT) networks choose to become confidential informants to satisfy their predominant needs. The main hypothesis for the purpose of this study is “The individuals’ decision-making processes to cooperate with law enforcement intelligence (LEI) as a confidential informant is affected by some motivation factors during recruitment process.” The present study tests 27 hypotheses in order to answer two main research questions. To meet its objectives the present study uses quantitative research methodology, constructs a cross-sectional research design, and employs secondary data analysis to test the hypotheses of the research questions. A dataset was formed based on official records of Turkish National Police by including all confidential informants within eight different RAT networks in Turkey. First, individual effect of each motivation factor on being a confidential informant is tested and discussed in detail. Then two group specific multivariate models for being an informant in Al-Qaeda and Turkish-Hezbollah are illustrated, compared and contrasted. Both bivariate and multivariate statistical analyses not only revealed the extent of individual effects of motivations among RAT groups, but also helped us to build fitting multivariate models that explain the probability of being informants in certain RAT networks. By doing so, the present study aims to make contributions to the literature and practice on this relatively unexplored phenomenon. Findings indicate that while some motivation factors are common among all RAT networks, the strength and direction of their effects vary among different RAT networks.

本研究主要的目的在探討納保對象不繳費原因？以質化研究途徑之深度訪談法，根據研究目的訂定訪談大綱，採立意抽樣方式，在2011年3月至4月間找到15位受訪者。研究對象包括：北部及中部地區，年齡在25歲至64歲間之國民年金保險納保對象及職業工會參加勞保者，分別有10及5位受訪者。針對納保對象、繳費意願、保障內容等議題及職業工會加保問題進行探討。經分析訪談資料後，所得研究重要發現如下： 1.國民年金納保對象與職業工會加保者，共同的工作性質均以非典型工作為主，即臨時工、部分工時、兼職，不全然以無工作者為主；由於工作不穩定，故在繳費上確有其困難，有些人則透過職業工會投保勞保。 2.中部地區繳費率低之主因係交通不便捷，以汽、機車代步，花費佔生活費一部分。其次，居民均擁有財產（如房屋、土地）無收入者為主。 3.學生因無收入，均由父母親代繳，且清寒學生畢業後需償還就學貸款，失業者生活困頓。 4.受訪者認為不應計收遲延繳納之利息、配偶互負繳納義務應規定配套措施。多數受訪者表示，不知道老年年金給付與老年基本保證年金所適用對象不同。其次，國民年金繳費年限太長，保障比勞保少。 5.中部地區較多由職業工會違法掛名加保。 根據研究發現，提出以下建議： 1.學生及失業者繳費問題 可仿傚日本，針對父母之家庭可支配所得（調整各種扣除額後之所得），及就讀學校種類（公、私立）、居住型態（是否與父母同住），或依學生的收入，訂定減免標準。失業者及學生有能力繳納者可採自願納保，不應將無力繳納者強制納保。 2.預繳保險費可另訂折扣辦法，例如預繳1年享8折，半年享9折等規定，以提高繳費率。 3.保險費計算比照健保第6類人口以平均保險費為基礎或二代健保，仿傚日本以家戶所得高低為判定保費負擔能力基準，以減輕經濟弱勢者的負擔。 4.刪除計收遲延繳納之利息，落實配偶互負連帶繳納義務可依配偶之年所得或收入，依比例原則訂定處罰鍰標準，收入較高者，處較高罰鍰，以改善制度中未能達到的「劫富濟貧效果」，即垂直重分配功能之缺失。家暴受害者應予免除其為施暴之配偶連帶罰鍰規定，執政當局可與警察局或警政署之家暴資料勾稽。 5.受訪者均認為對政府財政不具信心或不繳費未來65歲時可領3,000多元之敬老津貼，為了提高國人繳費意願，可將保費運用情形及老年年金給付與老年基本保證年金所適用對象不同，若未繳保險費屆滿65歲時，無法領取3,000多元之老年年金，列為政策宣導重點，強化國人繳費與享受權利對等關係。 6.展望未來，國民年金制度可比照勞保制定紓困貸款辦法，以無欠費且加保年資在一定年限，得申請紓困貸款，以緩解納保對象在生活上之困境。 7.職業工會掛名加保問題，應將中、南部列為稽查重點區域。 / The main purpose of this study is to find out why those people covered by National Pension Insurance but do not pay insurance premium? In-depth interview method of qualitative research is applied in this study. Interview guide is drafted according to the purpose of this study. Purposive sampling is used and 15 respondents were found between March and April of 2011. The objects of this studying includes: people who live in central and north Taiwan region, and aged between 25 and 64 years. 10 and 5 respondents are from National Pension Insurance coverage group and labor insurance participants from occupational union respectively. The major issues discussed are insurance coverage object, willingness to pay insurance premium, content of insurance benefit and join National Pension Insurance with worker association participant identity. After cross analysis on the interview data, the major findings are as follows: 1.The common characteristics work for National Pension Insurance coverage object and labor insurance participants with occupational union identity are mostly atypical employment which are contingent worker, part-time worker and they are not all workless; since their job is unstable so they do have some difficulties in paying insurance premium and some of them participate in labor insurance through occupational union. 2.The major reason for the low insurance premium paying rate in central Taiwan region is inconvenient transportation. People live in here are mostly using car and motorcycle as their transportation mean and the expenses for those transportation means are a big part of their living expenses. In addition, people here are mainly no income but own real estate such as houses and lands. 3.Since students have no income so the insurance premium are all paid by their parents and those students who from low income family also have to pay student loans after they graduated from schools so the jobless ones would have a very hard time in life. 4.The respondents think there should be no interest for late payment to insurance premium and there should be supporting measures defined for couples who take premium payment duties for each other. Most of the respondents say they don’t know that the applicable object for old age pension and old age basic guarantee pension are different. Secondly, the premium paying years for National Pension Insurance are too long and its benefit is less than those of labor insurance. 5.In Central Taiwan region, there are more cases of illegal participation in Labor insurance through Occupational union who actually are jobless. According to the findings of this study, the following suggestions are proposed: 1.Students and Unemployed Insurance Premium Payment Problem Could learn from Japan and define premium deduction standard based on the family disposal income (income after adjusted from deduction) on the parents’ income, school type (private or public), household status (whether live with the parents), and the student’s income. For unemployed and students who have the capability to pay premium should use voluntary insurance participation and should not make it compulsory. 2.Some discount measured could be implemented for prepaid insurance premium; for example, prepaid 1 year premium to get 20% off and six months for 10% off to improve insurance premium payment rate. 3.Insurance premium calculation should be based on the average insurance premium of category 6 of health insurance or second generation national health insurance premium, following the example of Japan who use the level of household income to determine affordability benchmark premium in order to reduce the burden of the economically disadvantaged. 4.Remove the accrued interest from late payment; follow through on the obligation of spouse to be responsible for their insurance premium and use the principle of proportionality to set penalties based on their annual income or revenue. Higher income should pay higher fine to improve the “Robin Hood effect”, vertical income redistribution function, which has not be implemented in the system currently. Victims of domestic violence should be waived from the fines associated with regulation for the late payment of their spouse; the administration could cross check with the police authorities or the domestic violence data in National Police Agency to verify. 5.Most of the respondents have no confidence on the Government’s financial future or they think they can receive $3,000 of old age pension at the age of 65 if they do not pay the premium. In order to improve people’s willingness to pay insurance premium, the government could separate the insurance premium usage and the applicable object between old age pension payment and old age basic guarantee pension. If people do not pay the insurance premium, they would not be able to receive the 3,000 old age pension at the age of 65 when insurance expires; and put this point as the focus of policy advocacy to strengthen the relationship between paying insurance premium and enjoy the rights. 6.Looking into future, National Pension System could learn from the labor insurance to develop relief loan scheme. If the people have no overdue insurance premium with more than one year of insurance coverage, they could apply for relief loans to ease the life obstacles accrued on the object of National Pension Insurance. 7.For the illegal participation of labor insurance problem with occupational union, the government should take central and south Taiwan as the key checking regions.

Detta examensarbete har utförts hos Projekt AB i Stockholm. Företaget är ett kvalificerat projektledningsföretag som arbetar med alla typer av byggprojekt oberoende av komplexitet och storlek. Företaget grundades 1993 och är idag ett av de ledande projektledningsföretagen i Storstockholm. Bakgrunden till arbetet ärt att företaget har velat kartlägga den psykosociala arbetsmiljö som råder bland projektmedarbetare inom olika projekt i företaget. Målgruppen i denna studie är beställaren, dvs. företagets ledning. Vårt syfte med studien är att ge utökad kunskap och förståelse kring temat psykosocial arbetsmiljö genom att undersöka psykiska och sociala arbetsförhållanden bland olika projektmedarbetare inom olika projekt. Komplexiteten i den psykosociala arbetsmiljön är stor och för att få fram en helhetsbild av den psykiska och sociala arbetsmiljön tänker vi i denna studie fokusera på psykiska arbetskrav, egenkontroll, socialt stöd och konflikter, ledarskap, kommunikation och lärande samt motivation. Vi har valt att göra en studie där vi använder en kvantitativ metod med en enkätundersökning som har skickats till samtliga projektmedlemmar på Projekt AB. I enkäten har vi berört centrala frågor inom området psykosocial arbetsmiljö. Resultatet är en beskrivning av hur den psykosociala arbetsmiljön upplevs inom Projekt AB. Svaren från undersökningen ger ett samlat underlag för verksamhetens ledning att utveckla sin psykosociala arbetsmiljö inom projektverksamheten på ett gynnsamt sätt, både ur ett medarbetar- och företagsperspektiv. Svaren på enkätstudien visade en hög arbetstillfredsställelse bland projektmedarbetarna. Det framkom i studien att den psykosociala arbetsmiljön på Projekt AB upplevs i stort sett positivt trots att medarbetarna anser att de har mycket att göra. Följande förbättringsområden har identifierats: bättre återkoppling, förbättrat lärande i stort, ökad erfarenhetsöverföring, ökad delaktighet hos projektmedarbetare, minskad arbetstempo och ökad social kontakt. Utifrån resultatet i denna fallstudie kan företaget diskutera möjliga åtgärder och förändringar som skulle kunna bidra till bättre psykosocial arbetsmiljö. Ett formellt forum för erfarenhetsöverföring samt positiv och negativ återkoppling som ges oftare både inom projektgruppen och mellan projektmedarbetare och projektledare anser vi är de viktigaste åtgärderna som företaget bör fokusera på i sina arbetsmiljöarbeten. / This thesis has been performed in a small company in Stockholm called Projekt AB. The company is a qualified project management company that works with all types of construction projects regardless of the complexity and size. The company was founded in 1993 and is today one of the leading project management companies in the Stockholm area.The background of this thesis was the fact that the company wanted to describe the psychosocial work environment from project members´ point of view. The purpose of this study is to provide and increase knowledge and understanding on the theme of psychosocial work environment by examining the psychosocial work environment among members of different projects in Projekt AB. The target group of this thesis is the client i.e. company´s management. The complexity of the psychosocial work environment is great and to obtain an accurate picture of the psychosocial work environment we intend to focus on the mental work demands, social support, conflicts, leadership, communication, self-control, learning, and motivation. We have chosen to write this study with the use of a quantitative approach. We have sent a survey to all project members in Projekt AB. In the questionnaire, we have asked about the key issues linked to the field of the psychosocial work environment. The result of the survey and the analysis of the data are presented in this thesis. The essay describes how the project members experience the psychosocial work environment in Projekt AB. Main outcomes from this thesis will provide an integrated basis for the company´s chiefs to develop their psychosocial work environment in the project activity in a favorable way, from both employee´s and business´ point of view. The result of our case study showed a high level of job satisfaction among project members. The study showed that the project members are quite satisfied with their psychosocial work environment in Projekt AB even thou they at the same time consider that they have too much to do. There is a number of possible areas for improvement, which is better feedback, improved learning in general, increased transfer of experience and involvement of project members, reduced work rate and increased social contacts. Based on the outcome of this case study, the company may discuss possible actions and changes that could contribute to better psychosocial work environment. A formal forum for the transfer of experience and both positive and negative feedback given more frequently both within the project group and between project members and project leader are the most important actions that the company should focus on in their work with the work environment.

The thesis deals with the moral thinking of youth in its adolescent age. The first part deals with the basic ethic terms and with historical development of ethic thinking. The thesis deals further with determinants, which influence the moral development of thinking of a man including primary and secondary socialisation and the influence of a state. The theoretical part ends with a chapter dealing with the psychological aspects of development of moral judgement, where are described the particular stages of moral development according to Lawrence Kohlberg. The practical part deals with the research in a given group according to Kohlberg. The research is made with regard to family background of an individual. Except for reactions to Heinz´s dilemma, there are researched the differences between moral attitudes of men and women and the differences between individuals coming from villages or cities. The aim of this thesis is to judge, if it is possible from the stage of a moral judgement of the researched adoloscents, judge a relation according to the context of their experience in the family. The research showed some influences to moral thinking of a man, but it is not possible to determine the convincing conclusions. The man is to complicated human being, whose moral quality shows the concrete and practical situation only.

Psykologiska    processer    där    identifikationen    med    jaget    och medvetandets innehåll upphör kan tänkas utgöra en hälsosam motvikt i  dagens  samhällskultur  där  centrering  kring  jaget,  stress,  depression och meningsförlust, ofta förekommer. Självtranscendens har beskrivits som en expansion av medvetandet och en rörelse bortom gränserna för ens självmedvetenhet och självuppfattning, antingen tillfälligtvis eller som  en  relativt  stabil  perspektivförändring  som  utvecklats  under livsloppet.  Sex  personer  mellan  54  och  100  år  med  erfarenhet  av självtranscendenta   perspektiv   intervjuades   i   studien   i   syfte   att induktivt  generera  mer  kunskap  om  hur  självtranscendens  kunde upplevas, utvecklas och förändra en människas perspektiv. Genom en tematisk    analys    framkom    att    en    regelbunden    aktivering    av självtranscendenta     medvetandetillstånd     särskilt     inverkade     på utvecklingen   och   kopplades   till   principer   om   neuroplasticitet. Självtranscendensutvecklingen     medförde     även     förändringar     i respondenternas perception av inre och yttre fenomen exempelvis vad gäller   känslighet,   jagupplevelse   och   möjlighet   till   distans   och objektivitet, vilket även bidrog till psykologisk hälsa.

The aim of this research is to develop guidelines for a psycho-educational programme to enhance the self-actualisation of retired people. To do this, an investigation was undertaken to determine how to enhance self-actualisation during retirement, through an understanding of the: • phenomenon of retirement; • concept of self-actualisation; • challenges that hamper adjustment and self-actualisation during retirement; • factors which assist retirees in overcoming challenges and achieving self-actualisation; and • the role of psycho-educational programmes in enhancing self-actualisation during retirement. The literature study sought to promote such an understanding through the investigation of writings and research findings. The qualitative investigation attempted to provide a contextual understanding of the above, through an exploration of the retirement experiences of a selected group of retirees living in George (and surrounding area), South Africa. The findings served as the basis for guidelines for a psycho-educational programme to enhance the self-actualisation of retired people. / Psychology of Education / M.Ed. (Guidance and Counselling)
