En hög grad av motivation och kunskapsutveckling har setts som nära sammankopplat med en god prestationsförmåga i arbetslivet. En del av variationen av motivation har visat sig kunna förklaras genom personlighet och idag används personlighetstester frekvent i rekryteringsprocessen. Syftet med studien var därför att undersöka om personlighetsegenskaper enligt femfaktorteorin kunde predicera intern respektive extern arbetsmotivation. Hypotesen var att olika personlighetsegenskaper kunde predicera intern respektive extern arbetsmotivation. Studien använde sig av mätverktyget Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scale (WEIMS) för att undersöka intern (W-SDM) respektive extern (W-NSDM) arbetsmotivation. Personlighetsegenskaper undersöktes med Ten Items Personality Inventory (TIPI) som grundade sig i femfaktorteorin med fem personlighetsegenskaper. Multipel regressionsanalys visade att personlighetsegenskaper som neuroticism och extraversion signifikant kunde predicera arbetsmotivation. En hög grad av egenskapen neuroticism kunde predicera både en hög intern och extern nivå av arbetsmotivation, medan högre nivåer av extraversion kunde predicera en hög nivå av extern arbetsmotivation. Sammanfattningsvis kan det sägas att graden av personlighetsegenskaper som neuroticism och extraversion kan predicera nivån av intern och extern arbetsmotivation. / A high degree of motivation has been closely linked to good performance in work organizations. Some of the variation in motivation has been shown to be explained by personality, and today personality tests are frequently used in recruitment processes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether different personality traits, based on the five-factor model, could predict internal and external work motivation. The hypothesis was that different personality traits could predict internal and external work motivation. In this study, the Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scale (WEIMS) was used to examine internal (W-SDM) and external (W-NSDM) work motivation. Personality traits were examined with Ten Items Personality Inventory (TIPI), which was based on the Big five with five personality traits. Multiple regression analysis showed that a high degree of neuroticism could predict both a high internal and external level of work motivation, while higher levels of extraversion could predict a high level of external work motivation. In summary, the degree of personality traits such as neuroticism and extraversion can predict the level of internal and external work motivation.
