The aim of this essay is to study employment recruiter’s image of young people’s attitudes towards working. The main focus is what attitudes are considered to benefit young people according to employment recruiters. Furthermore, it is also researched what it is that shapes these attitudes amongst young people according to the employment recruiters. Attitude is an expression that consists of multiple dimensions and theories. In this study, the point of departure will be within the sociopsychological theory about attitudes. Additionally, four established depictions about attitudes towards work will be used. In order to explain how attitudes are shaped and transferred to young people, the theory about socialization is used from multiple aspects. The research is based on qualitative interviews with five employment recruiters who describe their experiences and viewpoints regarding the attitude that young people have towards work. The result of this study shows that the employment recruiter’s experience is that young people predominantly have a positive attitude towards work and that it is characterized by determination and commitment. Nevertheless, according to the employment recruiters, there are groups of young people that have a negative attitude towards working. This attitude consists of reluctance towards searching for an employment and in addition to that, unwillingness to perform in a labor situation. These two contradictory attitudes that adolescents have towards work, is one of the many components to whether young people will succeed in their employment search or not. In order to concretize, the positive attitude will generate work and the negative attitude will hinder young people from finding an employment. Factors that frame different attitudes amongst young people are family, friends, society and in particular, school. / Syftet med denna uppsats är undersöka arbetsförmedlares upplevelser av ungas attityder till arbete. I fokus står arbetsförmedlarnas beskrivning av vilka attityder de anser gynnar ungdomar på arbetsmarknaden. Vidare undersöks vad arbetsförmedlarna upplever formar olika attityder hos olika ungdomar. Attityder är ett begrepp som kan tolkas utifrån olika perspektiv och teorier. I denna studie tas utgångspunkt i socialpsykologisk teoribildning om attityder och fyra etablerade beskrivningar om olika attityder till arbete. För att förklara hur attityder formas hos ungdomar används socialisationsteori. Undersökningen baseras på kvalitativa intervjuer med fem arbetsförmedlare. Resultatet av studien visar att arbetsförmedlarna upplever att ungdomar för de mesta har en positiv attityd till arbete som karaktäriseras av vilja och engagemang. Dock finns det dom grupper av ungdomar som, enligt arbetsförmedlarna, har en negativ attityd till arbete. Denna attityd kommer till uttryck genom obenägenhet till att söka arbete och att prestera på ett arbete. Dessa två skilda attityder hos unga personer är en av flera anledningar till om ungdomarna lyckas i sitt arbetssökande eller  inte. Den positiva attityden leder till arbete och den negativa hindrar ungdomar till att finna arbete. Faktorer som formar olika attityder hos ungdomar är familj, kompisar, samhället och inte minst skolan.
