En cynisk historia : En studie i hur psykologiska kontrakt påverkar missnöje / A cynical story : A study of how psychological contract affects dissatisfactionBerg, Sara, Persson, Ulrika January 2014 (has links)
Syfte: Vi vill med vår studie utforska hur utbrett missnöje är på arbetsplatser. Genom att studera det psykologiska kontraktet vill vi förklara hur det påverkar missnöje när kontraktet bryts. Metod: Vår studie är en kvalitativ metod med en abduktivt forskningsstrategi. Vi har utfört både kvalitativa intervjuer och enkäter för att samla in vårt empiriska datamaterial. Teoretiska perspektiv: Vi har grundat vår teori inom psykologiska kontrakt, organisationscynism och kommunikation. Dessa tre områden har vi relaterat till vårt insamlade empiriska material Empiri: Vi har intervjuat tre stycken personer på tre olika företag inom företagsledning för att få ett perspektiv på hur arbetsgivare upplever missnöje på arbetsplatsen. Intervjuerna har vi sedan kompletterat med enkäter från 91 stycken respondenter som vi slumpmässigt har valt ut. Resultat: Studien har visat att missnöje är ett utbrett problem på arbetsplatser. Vi anser att arbetsgivare inte uppmärksammar missnöje i den bemärkelsen de borde göra. Enligt vår studie visar det sig att arbetstagare har fler förväntningar på arbetsgivaren än vad denne tror och att arbetstagare också känner mer missnöje över arbetsgivarens agerande än vad arbetsgivaren är medveten om. Slutligen kan vi konstatera att arbetsgivare borde arbeta mer aktivt med psykologiska kontrakt och att uppmärksamma när missnöje uppstår. Stort Tack! / Purpose: The purpose with this study is to create an understanding in how widespread dissatisfaction is in worklife. By studying the psychological contract we want to understand how dissatisfaction appears when the contract has been broken. Methodology: The study has a qualitative and abductive approach. We have collected our empirical data through qualitative interviews and forms. Theoretical perspectives: Our theoretical material has been grounded in theories about the psychological contract, organizational cynicism and communication. These three areas have we connected with our empirical data. Empirical foundations: We have done three interviews with three people with leading position at different companies to get their view on the matter of dissatisfaction. As a complement to the interviews we have done questionnaire studies to understand the perspective of the employees. Conclusion: The result of the study has shown us that dissatisfaction is a widespread problem in the workplaces. We argue that the employer does not give enough attention to this type of matter and that they should. Our results show us that the employee have more expectations, so called psychological contracts, than the employer is aware of. Also we have seen that the employer’s way to act has been a strong contributor to the employee’s dissatisfaction, which therefor needs to be considered. Finally we can establish that the employers should work more active with psychological contract and give more attention to dissatisfaction. Thank you!

Organizational cynicism at the United States Naval Academy: an exploratory studyPitre, Leighton J. 06 1900 (has links)
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited / Organizational cynicism is an attitude, characterized by frustration and negatively valenced beliefs, resulting primarily from unmet expectations, which is capable of being directed towards an organization in general and/or more specific facets of the organizational environment (Brockway, Carlson, Jones, & Bryant, 2002). This thesis presents an exploratory study into the causes of organizational cynicism at the United States Naval Academy. The study is based on focus groups involving 30 first class midshipmen (i.e., seniors). Gaps in expectations versus students' reality emerged as a cause of organizational cynicism. Themes such as (1) constraints on decision-making discretion, (2) disappointment in peers' actions, (3) organizational inconsistencies, and (4) emphasis on outside interests versus midshipmen's interests emerged as the strongest precursors to the development of cynicism. The effects of organizational cynicism were reported as (1) lack of organizational commitment and citizenship and (2) deficiencies in decision-making and risk taking skills. / Lieutenant, United States Navy
