Kan beröm från chefen öka polisens arbetsmotivation? : En kvalitativ studie med utgångspunkt ur polisens perspektiv / Can praise from the chief of police affect the police officers' motivation towards work? : A qualitative study based on the perspective of the police.

Axelsson, Julia, Näsén, Evelina January 2023 (has links)
The police force has shown itself to be a workplace that often suffers from burnout syndrome. In turn, this leads to a reduced desire to work among the employees and it can even go as far as voluntary termination. Previous research describes that praise has a good effect on employee’s motivation towards work, which is an important factor of success within organizations. People can find themselves motivated in different ways. One may feel motivated due to a form of self-interest while another may feel motivated due to some type of external pressure and compulsion. How praise in turn affects different types of motivation within the police is however unexplored. The purpose of the thesis is therefore to investigate how verbal rewards in the form of praise from chiefs can affect police officers' work motivation. To answer the purpose of the essay, a qualitative interview study was conducted on police officers. The choice of police officers in external service was based on the fact that it is an occupational group who circulate out in society and face many different types of challenges and stressful efforts daily at work. Therefore, it was seen as particularly interesting to study whether their work motivation is affected by praise. The focus of the study has been to investigate how police officers receive praise, in which way they prefer to receive praise and finally how praise affects their work motivation. Eleven police officers on external duty have been interviewed. The study shows that the effect of praise from the chief of police on the police's work motivation varies. During our thesis, we highlight four different types of motivation, which we then investigate whether praise from the manager has an effect on or not. Worth mentioning is that the majority of police officers do not see praise as the primary focus in their work. Many police officers see themselves getting driven by their own goals and not least by the society for which they work. However, the study shows that praise tends to influence their various motivations to a certain extent. / Poliskåren har visat sig vara en arbetsplats som ofta drabbas av utmattningssyndrom. I sin tur leder detta till minskad arbetslust hos de anställda och det kan till och med gå så långt som till frivillig uppsägning. Tidigare forskning beskriver att beröm har en god påverkan på arbetsmotivation hos medarbetare och arbetsmotivation är en viktig framgångsfaktor inom organisationer. Människor kan i sin tur uppleva sig motiverade på olika sätt. En individ kan känna motivation på grund av ett eget intresse medan en annan kan känna motivation på grund av någon typ av externt tvång. Hur beröm i sin tur påverkar olika motivationstyper inom polisen är emellertid outforskat. Syftet med uppsatsen är därav att undersöka hur verbala belöningar i form av beröm från chefen påverkar polisers arbetsmotivation. För att besvara syftet med arbetet har vi genomfört en kvalitativ intervjustudie på poliser. Valet föll på poliser i yttre tjänst då det är en yrkesgrupp som dagligen rör sig ute i samhället och stöter på många olika typer av utmaningar och påfrestande arbetsinsatser. På grund av det sågs det extra intressant att studera huruvida deras arbetsmotivation påverkas av beröm. Fokus i studien har varit att undersöka hur poliser får beröm, hur beröm påverkar deras arbetsmotivation och på vilket sätt de själva föredrar att få beröm på. Sammantaget har elva poliser i yttre tjänst intervjuats. Studien visar att hur beröm från chefen påverkar polisens arbetsmotivation varierar. I arbetet lyfter vi fyra olika motivationstyper som vi sedan undersöker huruvida beröm från chefen påverkar eller inte. Värt att nämna är att majoriteten av poliserna inte ser beröm som det primära i deras arbete. Många ser sig själv drivas av sina egna mål och inte minst samhället som de arbetar för. Däremot visar undersökningen att beröm tenderar att påverka deras olika motivationer i viss mån.

The Influence of Motivation Factors on Employee’s Performance : A Quantitative Study using SDT & Motivation-Hygiene Theory

Al Darwish, Nahla, Shafqat, Hira January 2023 (has links)
Abstract:In the dynamic landscape of contemporary organizations, the complex interplay between motivation and employee performance creates a complex tapestry that shapes the path of success. Scholars recognize the important role of motivation in driving and promoting employee performance, yet a comprehensive understanding of the complex ways in which these values are embedded within the organization is lacking. There has been some research on the relationship between employee performance and motivation. The definition of motivation and two well-known theories of motivation are covered in this essay. A comprehensive examination of the literature is done to investigate the connection between motivation factors and employee performance. It has been discovered that employees' dedication to their work is influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation factors. The study explores the impact of motivation factors in organizational performance. A quantitative study based on Sweden Stockholm. Our findings show that motivation factors contribute significantly to employee performance and effectiveness. The quantitative method includes administering a wide range survey with employees working in Stockholm, Sweden to collect data on their motivation level and its impact on overall employee performance.

“Idrottens himmel eller helvete” : Elevers föreställningar om undervisning i idrott och hälsa / "Sport - heaven or hell" : Students' perceptions of physical education and health

Thinsz Jansson, Marion January 2024 (has links)
Syftet med studien var att undersöka elevers föreställningar om ämnet idrott och hälsa och hur de föreställningarna kan kopplas till motivationen för att delta i ämnets centrala innehåll. Då cirka sex procent av alla barn och ungdomar deltar sällan eller aldrig i skolans undervisning i idrott och hälsa (Dartsch, Norberg & Pihlblad 2017) eftersträvas mer kunskap om ungdomars föreställningar om ämnet. En kvalitativ metod användes i form av gruppintervjuer där totalt tolv elever intervjuades. Empirin har analyserats utifrån Self- determination theory (Deci & Ryan 2008). Studiens resultat visade att eleverna har ömsesidiga föreställningar om ämnet och de centrala innehållen samt hur de motiveras till att delta i undervisningen. Eleverna föreställde ämnet som roligt, aktivt, paus från övriga ämnen och givande men kunde också vara utpekande och ibland enformigt innehåll. Motiverande faktorer för att delta i undervisningen är gemenskapen med sina klasskompisar, att få ett önskvärt betyg men även av att lära sig nya saker. Vidare visade resultaten att läraren och gruppen har en stor betydelse för att känna trygghet och därmed våga utmana sina kunskaper och förmågor. Dessutom har ämnet stor fokus på det centrala området rörelse och innefattar till stor del bollsporter som upplevdes gynna en viss grupp elever som utför dessa aktiviteter på fritiden. De elever som inte är aktiva på fritiden eller är vältränade har svårare att lyckas i undervisningen och få ett önskvärt betyg.

Anticipated Telehealth Device Usage in Younger Adults

Bull, Tyler 01 January 2015 (has links)
Telehealth and telemedicine have revolutionized the healthcare system in terms of access to information and remote medical treatment. While there is a great deal of literature on current perceptions of telehealth care systems, relatively little is known about perceived user needs and acceptance of future telehealth systems. One way to assess future attitudes is to evaluate anticipated usage of telehealth devices through perceived advantages and disadvantages. Additionally, this study seeks to assess the reliability of a new measure of technology acceptance that capitalizes on human motivation using self-determination theory. An online survey consisted of an original 40-item measure of motivation to use telehealth technology, the Psychosocial Impact of Assistive Devices Scale (PIADS; Jutai & Day, 1996), questions adapted from Edwards et al. (2014) about perceived advantages and disadvantages of telehealth devices, and open-ended questions about advantages, disadvantages, and concerns of interacting with telehealth devices in the future. The open-ended questions were coded for themes. Results also indicated that there was a high reliability between the MUTT and the PIADS, however the MUTT was slightly more reliable. Significant correlations were found between the overall MUTT and subscales of autonomy, competence, relatedness, and goals, as well as moderate correlations between the subscales of the PIADS (i.e., competence, adaptability, self-esteem) and the MUTT. The results of this research will be discussed further.
