Möjliggörande och begränsande verksamhetsstyrningens samspel med motivation. : En kvalitativ studie om små och medelstora företags verksamhetsstyrning.

Title: Enabling and coercive control ́s interaction with motivation. Subject: Bachelor's thesis in business administration, 15 credits.  Purpose: Examine how employees in small and medium-sized enterprises perceive enabling and/or coercive control, and how these control systems interact with motivation.  Study question: How do employees' perceptions of enabling and coercive control interact with their motivation in small and medium-sized enterprises?  Method: Initially, the research gap that forms the basis of the study is identified, followed by the formulation of the study question. The question is answered through collection and analysis of empirical data from six semi-structured interviews.  Conclusion: The result of this study shows that the management control within a company is neither fully enabling nor coercive, rather the characteristics interact with each other. The choice of control greatly depends on the size and industry of the company. The study also shows that the characteristics of management control affect motivation, where enabling control predominates.  Keywords: Management control, enabling control, coercive control, Levers of Control, motivation, small- and medium-sized enterprises.
