Motiverad att känna arbetsglädje nu? : Mindfulness betydelse för arbetsmotivation ocharbetstillfredsställelse

Forslin, Johan, Norén, Helena January 2010 (has links)
<p>Tidigare forskning har visat att mindfulness kan höja livskvaliteten inom en rad områden som till exempel välbefinnande, inre motivation och prestation. Dock saknas studier om dess inverkan på arbetslivet. Syftet med den här uppsatsen var att undersöka vilken roll mindfulness eventuellt kan spela för människan i arbetslivet, särskilt för arbetstillfredsställelse och arbetsmotivation.  Respondenter var 103 yrkesverksamma individer i olika åldrar och från olika yrkesgrupper, varav 78 kvinnor. En kvantitativ enkätstudie gjordes där respondenterna självskattade 81 påståenden bestående av de tre etablerade mätinstrumenten Five Facet Mindfulness Questionairre (FFMQ), Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scale (WEIMS) och An Index of Job Satisfaction. Resultatet visade att mindfulness hade en liten betydelse för arbetsstillfredställelse och inre arbetsmotivation. Därav slutsatsen att mindfulness inverkan på arbetslivet förmodligen inte är lika stor som förväntat, men det bör göras fler studier av olika karaktär innan mindfulness kan borträknas som ett verktyg för arbetslivet, förslagsvis longitudinella experimentstudier innehållande mindfulnessträning.</p>

Motivation och målsättningar för motion: Ett självbestämmande perspektiv / Motivation and goal-setting in exercise behavior: A self-determination perspective

Lindgren, Sara January 2010 (has links)
<p>Syftet med studien var att undersöka sambanden mellan människors motivation till motion, hur de psykologiska behoven kan tillfredsställas samt hur målsättningar och självbestämmande motivationsprofil påverkar motionsbeteenden. Undersökningsdeltagarna i studien var 1100 motionärer (m = 45 år) som var medlemmar i en viktminskningsorganisation. Insamlingen av data skedde i form av en webbaserad enkätundersökning med mätinstrumenten Godin Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire, The Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-2, The Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale och Goal Content for Exercise Questionnaire. Resultatet visade i stort att en inre reglerad motivationsprofil samt inre målsättningar har ett positivt samband med tillfredsställelse av både de psykologiska behoven och ansträngande träningssnivå. Vidare visade resultatet att inre målsättningar har ett positivt samband med en självbestämmande motivationsprofil. Uppbyggnad av en inre motivationsprofil med inre målsättningar kan leda till ökat motionsbeteende och välbefinnande. Kunskaper om detta kan leda till förbättrad hälsa på både individ- och gruppnivå och därmed påverka den globala folkhälsan.</p> / <p>The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between motivation for exercise, satisfaction of psychological needs and how goal-setting plus a self-determinated motivation profile affect the exercise behavior. The participants were 1100 members (M = 45 years) of a weight-loss organization. Collection of the data was made through a web based questionnaire that included the instruments Godin Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire, The Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-2, The Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale and Goal Content for Exercise Questionnaire. The results showed that an identified and intrinsic regulated motivation profile along with internal goal-setting had a positive correlation with satisfaction of both the psychological needs and strenuous exercise behavior. Moreover the results showed that internal goals had a positive correlation with a self-determinated motivation profile. Development of an internal motivation profile with internal goal-setting can result in improved exercise behavior and well-being. Knowledge of these findings can improve the global health both on individual and group level.</p> / I samarbete med en viktminskningsorganisation

Självstyrande och kompetenta elever : - en studie om samhällskunskapslärares strategier för att skapa motivation att lära

Oscarsson, Petra January 2009 (has links)
<p><p>Forskning har tydligt visat att elevers motivation att lära har stor betydelse för elevers engagemang, prestation och välmående. I denna studie görs därför ett försök att lyfta fram lärares kunskaper och erfarenheter kring motivationsarbete genom intervjuer med fyra gymnasielärare i ämnet samhällskunskap. <em>Syftet</em> med studien är att utifrån ett lärarperspektiv, undersöka hur samhällskunskapslärare kan utforma sin undervisning med målet att skapa motivation att lära hos elever.</p><p>Vid bearbetningen av intervjumaterialet, identifierades fyra motivationsstrategier, vilka samtliga lärare framhöll som särskilt betydelsefulla. Dessa var att skapa goda lärar-elevrelationer, skapa meningsfullhet, skapa sammanhang samt att finna beröringspunkter till elevernas egna liv. Genom applicering av motivationsteorin Self-determination Theory, blev det även möjligt att öka förståelsen för de bakomliggande processer som av olika anledningar kan göra att dessa strategier fungerar motiverande på eleverna. Utifrån det teoretiska ramverket har strategiernas funktion och värde främst att göra med hur dessa relaterar och tar hänsyn till människans grundläggande behov av autonomi (självstyrning), kompetens och tillhörighet.</p></p>

Reconciliation, Repatriation and Reconnection: A Framework for Building Resilience In Canadian Indigenous Families

LaBoucane-Benson, Patti-Ann Terra 11 1900 (has links)
Although there is a vast body of literature on family resilience, very little represents research from an explicitly Indigenous paradigm. This research process included an Indigenous research path and a case study informed by Indigenous worldview. The data collected in both informed the findings presented here and contributed to the creation of the final model for building resilience in Indigenous families. The results demonstrate how self-determination in research, service delivery, organizational leadership, spiritual connection and individual, every-day practice can be a powerful expression of freedom, liberty and humanity. The case study maps how the self-determination of an Aboriginal organization, resulted in the creation of a program that assists violent Aboriginal men reconcile their traumatic histories, reconnect to an interconnected worldview and repatriate their responsibilities as men within a strong, healthy Aboriginal society.

Exploratory Study of Motivational Factors for Male and Female Ethiopian Long Distance Runners

Bucan, Sanja 11 1900 (has links)
Based on Self-Determination Theory (e.g., Deci & Ryan, 1985a, 2000; Ryan & Deci, 2002) this research focused on the motivation of ten elite Ethiopian male and female long distance runners. The semi-structured interview guide based on the SDT was transcribed verbatim and subjected to an inductive-deductive analysis approach based on the methodological guidance provided by Maykut & Morehouse (1994). Results revealed the integrated type of motivation to be the most evident among the runners. The data were organized into three broad categories that emerged through the interviews. The three categories are nationalism, economics and fame. Within each category there are themes or subcategories that emerged across various perceptions of the Ethiopian runners. The data revealed that among different types of motivation classified by the Self-Determination Theory (e.g., Deci & Ryan, 1985a, 2000; Ryan & Deci, 2002) there are multiple social factors that influence Ethiopian runners as well.

The Role of Ethnicity and Perceptions of the Family Environment in Self-determination among Students with Disabilities

Rodriguez, Raymond Joseph 01 July 2010 (has links)
Considerable research exists on the importance of self-determination in the transition of students with disabilities from high school. Much of this research has focused on conditions in the family that may nurture and support the development of self-determined motivation. These conditions, as described by Self -Determination Theory, include support for autonomy, relatedness and competence. Little data exists, however, on whether the conditions in the family environment associated with self-determination vary depending on students' ethnic backgrounds. Participants consisted of 138 Latino and Anglo students with disabilities enrolled in six high schools within a large urban school district. Self-determination was measured using the Arc Self-Determination Scale (Wehmeyer & Kelchner). Students' perceptions of their family environment were measured using six subscales from the Family Environment Scale (Moos & Moos). Latino students scored significantly higher than Anglo students in level of self-determination, but no significant differences were found in perceptions of the family environment between the two groups. Self-determination was regressed on the family environment subscales and no significant effect sizes were obtained for the sample as a whole (R2 = .044, F (6, 129) = .993, p = .433). However, comparisons between Latinos and Anglos on the relationship between perceptions of the family environment and self-determination suggested that family environments associated with Autonomy were more related to levels of self-determination in Anglo than in Latino students. Family environments associated with Cohesiveness, Achievement Orientation and Control were more highly related to level of self-determination for Latino than for Anglo students. The study has practical implications for parents and school practitioners when planning for transition and implementing strategies to develop self-determination for students with disabilities.
