Personalomsättning är ett omtalat ämne i många organisationer och branscher. En låg nivå av personalomsättning är positivt för organisationen medan en hög nivå leder till stora kostnader. En hög nivå av personalomsättning, oönskad personalomsättning, är ett aktuellt ämne inom revisionsbranschen. Drygt hälften av alla revisorsassistenter lämnar yrket inom tre år vilket gör att revisionsbyrån förlorar humankapital som innebär stora kostnader för byrån. Tidigare forskning undersöker problemet med den oönskade personalomsättningen i revisionsbranschen med fokus på vilka motivationsfaktorer som är avgörande för att assistenterna slutar.    Syftet med studien är att förstå om revisionsbyrån arbetar på ett sätt som matchar vad revisorsassistenterna motiveras av för att stanna kvar på byrån. Matchningen bidrar till en bättre förståelse för hur revisionsbyrån kan minska den oönskade personalomsättningen.   Med hjälp av motivationsteori och tidigare forskning har fyra kategorier av motivationsaspekter valts ut. Personal-organization fit teori och teori om förväntningsgap är grund för att kunna identifiera en matchning eller förväntningsgap mellan vad assistenterna motiveras av och byråns arbetssätt. Motivationsaspekterna illustreras i en framtagen modell. Modellen illustrerar även om det föreligger matchning eller förväntningsgap.   För att få en djup förståelse har vi använt semistrukturerade intervjuer med revisorsassistenter och gruppchefer. Från det empiriska materialet tillkommer en kategori av motivationsaspekter, variation. Det är även tydligt att motivationsaspekterna motiverar assistenterna olika mycket. Slutsatsen i studien är att byrån bör fortsätta arbeta med att motivera revisorsassistenterna så individanpassat som möjligt. Byrån bör även fokusera på finansiella belöningar. Vår tolkning är att revisionsbyrån genom detta lyckas minska den oönskade personalomsättningen.

It aims to identify, analyze and describe a specific relation in the work of these guides and the factors that support it. A research of qualitative nature has been made in order to make it possible for the researcher to be in direct contact with the guides and, therefore, obtain accurate data about their motivations. A semi-structured interview has been made with four volunteer guides that work with blind and visually impaired athletes. The data have been submitted to an analysis of content in order to characterize their motivational profile, as well as their aim to help athletes, the consciousness of facing high motivational situations and mostly the perspective of social recognition that they experience and share with the blind and visually impaired athletes. This study emphasizes that the personal valorization experienced is not related in any way to the view of negative aspects in the partners. On the other hand, they are extremely critics in relation to some prejudiced manifestations they have faced in situations of competitions. The data also show that the described difficulties are related exclusively to the corporal movements with synchronism, pointing, thus, a content related to the physical activity, present, objectively, in the sporting events. In a view that privileges elements of the psychological comprehension of the development of the blind and visually impaired, risks of the establishment of relational distortions that imprint a hyper-protective bond and, consequently, disfavor the most creative and adequately independent experience of the athlete they are guiding could also be observed in the data. / Este estudo tem como objetivo conhecer o perfil motivacional de guias de atletas com deficiência visual. Propõe-se a identificar, analisar e descrever, no trabalho desses guias, uma relação específica e os fatores que a sustentam. Para isso realizou-se uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, o que possibilitou ao pesquisador um contato direto e, conseqüentemente, a obtenção de dados fiéis à expressão dos guias participantes, acerca de suas motivações para desenvolver seu trabalho. Foi realizada uma entrevista semi-estruturada com quatro guias voluntários, que desenvolvem suas atividades junto a instituições de prática esportiva de deficientes visuais. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo, permitindo, além de caracterizar seu perfil motivacional, destacar a vontade de ajudar, a consciência de vivenciar situações altamente motivadoras e, principalmente, a perspectiva de reconhecimento social que os guias experimentam e compartilham com o atleta com deficiência visual. Ressalta-se que a valorização pessoal experimentada em momento algum mostrou-se vinculada à visão de aspectos negativos em seu parceiro, sendo, ao contrário, extremamente críticos em relação a algumas manifestações preconceituosas que já vivenciaram em situações de competição. Os dados mostraram ainda, que as dificuldades descritas referem-se predominantemente à movimentação corporal com sincronia, destacando, portanto, um conteúdo vinculado à atividade física, objetivamente presente na prática esportiva. Em uma visão que privilegia elementos da compreensão psicológica do desenvolvimento da pessoa com deficiência visual, observaram-se riscos de estabelecimento de distorções relacionais que imprimam um laço superprotetor e, conseqüentemente, desfavorecedor da expressão mais criativa e adequadamente independente do atleta que estão guiando.
