An aim of this work was to prove an influence of the work satisfaction to the positive behaviour of employees. A theoretical part describes the concept of the work satisfaction and the behaviour of satisfied workers and not satisfied ones. At the beginning of a practical part there are characterized the aim of the work and the way of collecting some pieces of information. There had been determined five hypotheses, which were confirmed or contradicted during the practical work. In this part there were also described both companies and social advantages, which they provide to their employees in this part. The manufacturing company produces products made of wood and the non-manufacturing company buys and sells stationary products. The research of the work satisfaction was made during the summer 2007. There were 25 workers in the manufacturing company and 24 workers in the second company during the tracked period, the majority of them in both companies took a part in my research. For the research there was used a questionnaire, which contains a lot of questions, aimed at the satisfaction with work conditions.

The problem with which this study is concerned is the motivation to work and the job satisfaction of faculty members who work both as full-time instructors and student activities advisors at eight campuses of Srinakharinwirot University in Thailand. In relationship to the respondent student activities advisors, the purposes of this study were (a) to study the perceived relationship between motivation to work and job satisfaction, (b) to compare perceptions of motivation to work and job satisfaction according to selected demographic variables, and (c) to determine whether or not these variables significantly contribute to the prediction of motivation to work and job satisfaction for the sample population. Two published survey instruments were used to collect the data. Both instruments were administered to 206 student activities advisors of Srinakharinwirot University; usable, completed questionnaires were returned by 191 (92,7%) respondents. The statistical treatments applied to the collected data for seven research hypotheses include the Kentall Tau correlation coefficient, one-way analysis of variance, and multiple regression analysis. The numerous data findings from this study appear to support several conclusions. Among these are that although the respondent faculty members who were also student activities advisors were modestly motivated to accept the additional advisory responsibilities, feelings of high job satisfaction were produced once they assumed their advisory roles. Furthermore, although some significant relationships were found among the variables, it would be difficult to predict which faculty members would be capable and successful student activities advisors based on sex, age, years of teaching experience, or marital status. As a result, therefore, no statistical model could be developed from the data obtained from this study that could be used to predict either motivation to work or job satisfaction for student activities advisors.

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur organisationskulturen ser ut inom Handelsbanken och Swedbank och att ta reda på hur detta i sin tur påverkar de anställda på dessa två banker. Metod: Studien genomfördes med en kvalitativ forskningsdesign där data insamlades genom åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer. Studien har analyserats med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys med deduktiv ansats. Resultatet redovisas genom en identifiering av teman med utgångspunkt efter empirin. Resultat och slutsats: Under vår undersökning har vi kommit fram till att Handelsbanken, som är en decentraliserad organisation, har ett driv för personlig utveckling och främjar personligt engagemang i vardagligt arbete hos sina anställda. Detta är något som vi tydligt märkt när vi utfört våra intervjuer med personal från båda instituten. Swedbank beskrivs med mer fokus på enskilda specificerade arbetsuppgifter, har ett tydligt arbetssätt för anställda och riktar sig inte specifikt mot enskilda anställdas utveckling i företaget. Examensarbetets bidrag: Vårt arbete bidrar med en mer djupgående förståelse till hur skillnader hos dessa två stora aktörer i den svenska banksektorn ser ut, främst i termer av ledarskap, motivation och organisationskultur. Studien ger en inblick i hur de organisationskulturer som råder på dessa institut påverkar de anställda inom organisationen samt hur ledarskapet kan variera från en centraliserad till en decentraliserad organisation. Förslag till vidare forskning: Denna studie bidrar till forskning om organisationskultur och motivation, detta genom att undersöka skillnader i den dagliga verksamheten hos två av Sveriges största bankinstitut som erbjuder homogena produkter. / Aim: The purpose of the study is to examine the organizational culture within Handelsbanken and Swedbank and to determine how this, in turn, affects the employees at these two banks. Method: The study was conducted using a qualitative research design, where data was collected through eight semi-structured interviews. The study has been analyzed using qualitative content analysis with a deductive approach. The results are presented through the identification of themes based on the empirical data. Results and Conclusions: During our investigation, we have found that Handelsbanken, being a decentralized organization, emphasizes personal development and encourages personal engagement in daily work among its employees. This is something that we have clearly noticed during our interviews with staff members from both institutes. Swedbank, on the other hand, is described as having a greater focus on individual specified tasks, with a clear working method for employees, but without a specific emphasis on individual employee development within the company. Contribution of the thesis: Our work contributes to a more in-depth understanding of how the differences between these two major players in the Swedish banking sector look, mainly in terms of leadership, motivation and organizational culture. Suggestions of the future Research: Our work contributes to a deeper understanding of the differences between these two major players in the Swedish banking sector, regarding the leadership and motivation in two companies with different organizational cultures. The study provides insight into how the organizational cultures in these institutions affect the employees within the organization, as well as how leadership can vary from a centralized to a decentralized organization. Suggestions for future research: This study contributes to research on organizational culture and motivation by examining differences in the daily operations of two of Sweden's largest banking institutions that offer homogeneous products.
