Full textEsta tesis realizada por compilación de artículos revisa la relación entre la motivación por el servicio público (PSM) y la ética. La PSM, o la motivación para servir a la sociedad, y la ética, o el estudio de lo que es moralmente correcto o incorrecto, son dos temas fundamentales dentro de la administración y la gestión pública. A pesar de estar relacionados originalmente, las investigaciones realizadas hasta ahora se han centrado principalmente en examinar el papel que juega la PSM en la probabilidad de denunciar hechos no éticos o hacer donaciones. No obstante, se han dedicado muy pocos esfuerzos a insertar la PSM en teorías de filosofía ética, a explorar el lado ético oscuro de la PSM, a insertar la PSM en teorías de psicología moral, a conectar la PSM con la teoría de violaciones de integridad, a diferenciar los efectos de la PSM en los resultados éticos y no éticos de los efectos provocados por otras motivaciones laborales, y a calibrar el impacto indirecto de los antecedentes de la PSM en resultados éticos y no éticos. Con el fin de llenar todos estos huecos, esta tesis pone los valores y las identidades de los individuos en el centro de la discusión sobre cómo se pueden fomentar las actitudes y los comportamientos éticos. Se han desarrollado cuatro artículos siguiendo esta idea. El primer artículo ofrece un marco teórico para examinar la relación entre la PSM y la ética combinando filosofía ética, teorías de identidad, psicológicas y de autodeterminación. El segundo y el tercer artículo enlazan la PSM con la literatura sobre violaciones de integridad, y proporcionan análisis empíricos que muestran los diferentes efectos de la PSM y otras motivaciones laborales en la aceptación de actos no éticos. Además, evalúan el impacto directo de la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas y de la claridad de los objetivos sobre la PSM, y el impacto indirecto sobre el juicio de las violaciones de integridad. El cuarto artículo proporciona apoyo empírico inicial a la conceptualización de PSM proporcionada en el primer artículo. Para ello examina los diferentes efectos del liderazgo transaccional y transformacional, y la necesidad psicológica básica relacional en la PSM. En resumen, a través del desarrollo teórico y la comprobación empírica de la importancia de cómo 'son' los individuos, esta tesis ordena la investigación previa realizada en el campo de la PSM y la ética, y se alientan nuevas vías.
This article-based compilation thesis revisits the link between public service motivation (PSM) and ethics. PSM, or the motivation to give back to society, and ethics, or the study of what is morally right and wrong, are two crucial topics in public administration and management. Although being originally interrelated, past research mainly examined the role PSM plays in shaping the likelihood of whistle-blowing and making donations. However, very little efforts have been devoted to insert PSM in ethics philosophy theories, to explore the ethical dark-side of PSM, to insert PSM in moral psychology theories, to connect PSM with integrity violations theory, to differentiate the effects of PSM on un/ethical outcomes from those of other work-motivations, and to assess the indirect impact of PSM-antecedents on un/ethical outcomes. To fill all these gaps, this thesis puts individuals’ values and identities at the centre of the discussion about how ethical attitudes and behaviours can be encouraged. Four articles have been developed following this idea. The first article offers a theoretical framework to examine the relationship between PSM and ethics by combining ethics philosophy, identity, moral psychological and self-determination theories. The second and third articles link PSM to integrity violations literature, and provide empirical analyses showing the distinct effects of PSM and other work-motivations on the acceptance of unethical acts. Moreover, they assess the direct impact of basic psychological needs satisfaction and goal clarity on PSM, and the indirect one on the judgement of integrity violations. The fourth article provides initial empirical support to the conceptualization of PSM offered in the first article by examining the distinct effects of transactional and transformational leadership, and the basic psychological need of relatedness on PSM. In sum, by theoretically developing and empirically testing the importance of how individuals ‘are,’ this thesis orders previous research in the PSM-ethics field, and encourages new avenues.

Although Public Service Motivation theory (PSM) has been widely studied since Perry’s 1996 seminal work, including studies in different countries, there are still gaps in the literature regarding the emergence of PSM (wright 2008), its implications for public-sector employees recruitment and intake process, and its potential effects on job performance, particularly in an emerging country such as Brazil. In order to study public service motivation in Brazil, and its evolution from recruitment through retention, we carried a quantitative and qualitative research in a Brazilian regulatory agency, the Brazilian National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), a public sector organization, and in a hybrid organization, Petrobras, an oil and gas company, a previously state-owned enterprise. Although Petrobras has now opened its capital and the hiring regime differs from public sector organizations, its capital is still majoritarily in the hands of the state and the agency ethos is still predominantly a public sector one. Therefore, this paper explores how the PSM construct, as proposed by James Perry (1990), applies to the Brazilian reality and suggests new elements for a new construct for a Brazilian PSM concept. Indeed, the data collected bears evidence that PSM as initially proposed in the cited study is not relevant to determine public service recruitment and entry motivation in Brazil. Values such as mission are not the reasons why Brazilian employees feel attracted to the public service. Nevertheless, once in the job, retention of such employees might result of a socially developed motivation and belief in the values regarding the mission of public organizations. This study also shows that the conditions of entry, as well as the progression paths before and after the recruitment are unique and peculiar to the Brazilian public sector entry mode. This study used a two-folded methodological approach: first, the author applied a survey to employees in both organizations using Perry ́s proposed survey instrument to test whether the PSM construct applied to the Brazilian case. Second, in-depth semi-strucutured interviews were carried out with employees in both organizations in order to collect data about specific features of motivation. This paper then concludes that the PSM concept must be redefined for the Brazilian case and that public service motivation is socially constructed on the job. Finally, the findings show that there is a unique dynamic in the Brazilian public service: given how competitive public examinations are, before recruitment, employees go through several competitive exams, erratically. They initially apply to very competitive and highly paid positions and, if they do not pass, they apply to lesser and lesser competitive positions until they pass. This characterizes a downward selection process. Conversely, once they have passed the examination, they start to compete for jobs that are higher paid, in an upward progression mode. Chosen jobs are not necessarily along the same profession lines. However, during the upward progression within the public sector, motivation and identity with the public sector emerges.

Full textThe purpose of this study was to examine the effects the meeting culture in traditional projects has on the participants’ motivation. The meeting culture in traditional projects can differ in effectiveness since it is dependant on the project manager to arrange, hold and follow up the meeting. The empiric study was conducted in the form of qualitative interviews at the Swedish Defence Research Agency, FOI, and the motivation experienced by participants' was analysed by Self Determination Theory. The results from the interviews showed a demotivating experience in several situations, both regarding the meeting culture and how the meeting content was handled. The authors found that the motivation was affected by the agenda and purpose of the meeting, the attendence, time and form of the meeting and feedback. The results revealed that the examined meeting culture was unstructured which led to an emerging sub-meeting culture of an increasing number of smaller informal meetings. This in turn led to an experience of the work flow being disturbed and the interviewees feeling more stressed and less productive. Since agile project methodology is often regarded as motivating from several aspects, the authors conducted a discussion on how the implementation of agile meetings can be conducive to motivation in traditional project environments.

Full textWhat affect the project participants’ motivation in projects that have a relatively long period of time set aside for implementation and with relatively large resources? An empirical case study was conducted to answer the question about motivation in long projects by using qualitative interviews of six project participants and one project manager in a company in the customs sector. These seven people were allocated to an IT development project. Herzberg´s two-factor theory was used to describe the factors that influenced the respondents’ motivation. There are mainly three types of events that affects the project participants’ motivation. These are events that can be linked to the project phase transitions, events related to project objectives and events about the project’s methodology. Finally, it can be stated that it is the contextual uncertainty that primarily affect the project participants’ motivation in a project going on for a long time. Thus the changes in the business environment between the time of the planning of the project and when the project objectives are evaluated.

Full textSammanfattning
I samband med dagens socialisationsförändringar har lärares motivationsarbete med elever fått en allt mer betydande
roll. Begreppet motivation är centralt i läroplanerna samt omfattar majoriteten av alla skolor runt om i världen.
Lärares uppgifter innefattar inte enbart ett stärkande av elevers motivation för skolarbetet, utan en minst lika viktig
uppgift är att etablera goda relationer till sina elever samt elever emellan.
Vår studie inriktar sig på att utröna var elevers primära motivation ligger och hur lärare kan arbeta för att stärka den.
Studien utgår från Self - Determination Theory som innebär att människans valfrihet är central för lärandet. För att ta
reda på hur denna teori förhåller sig i praktiken samt för att undersöka om elever påverkas i störst grad av inre eller
yttre faktorer, har vi undersökt elevers beteende i klassrumssituationer samt deras egna reflektioner kring skolan. Vi
har även utfört enkäter och observationer samt intervjuer med tre olika klassföreståndare. En viktig aspekt i vår
studie var jämförelsen mellan olika åldersgrupper samt skillnader och likheter mellan pojkar och flickor.
Resultatet av vår studie visar att motivation är grundläggande för elevers intresse för skolarbetet och att de styrs av
både inre och yttre faktorer. De sociala relationerna till kamrater och klasslärare är av största vikt för stärkandet av
elevers drivkraft samt ökar intresset för arbetet. Eftersom elevers motivation är central för lärandet är det viktigt att
som lärare arbeta förebyggande för att skapa ett positivt och tryggt klassrumsklimat. Elevers bekräftelsebehov har
tydligt framkommit av våra observationer och beröm från läraren är en av de viktigaste faktorerna för motivationen.

Full textAim of the study: The aim is to investigate consumers underlying motivation when they buy a house or a unit. This will be based on a survey and established theories of motivation such as Self Determination Theory. Method: We have used a quantitative method and the information was gathered from an electronic survey. Result & Conclusions: The statistical program SPSS was used to analyze the responses of the survey. To find the underlying correlations among the questions, we conducted a factor analysis. It resulted in 13 factors, which were narrowed down to 6 different types of consumers. Suggestions for future research: SDT can be used in different fields of consumer behaviour such as tourism and travelling, or to find out why we buy different types of goods. Contribution of the thesis: This thesis has contributed to the identification of the underlying motives behind buying a home. The study shows that SDT can be a suitable tool in marketing for future real estate agents.

Pesquisas na área de engenharia de software indicam que o gerenciamento apropriado da motivação e satisfação no trabalho são importantes para o sucesso de projetos de software. No entanto, rara tem sido a preocupação com o uso apropriado de teorias bem estabelecidas para fundamentar tais pesquisas, o que deixa em aberto várias questões práticas sobre motivação e satisfação no contexto do desenvolvimento de softwares. Evidências apontam que o conhecimento sobre a satisfação no trabalho, neste contexto, está relativamente consolidado, mas ainda há muito a se aprender sobre as características específicas que antecedem a motivação dos engenheiros de software. Objetivo: O ponto de partida compreende teorias de Satisfação no Trabalho e das Características do Trabalho, que defendem que motivação e satisfação no trabalho referem-se a fenômenos distintos. Esta tese objetiva então clarificar quais são as características do trabalho que influenciam a motivação de engenheiros de software. Método: Este quadro teórico inicial foi evoluído baseado nos aprendizados resultantes de um estudo de múltiplos casos, executado em quatro organisações de software em Recife-PE. Durante 11 meses, dados foram coletados nestas organizações, através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, estudos diários, e análise documental. Resultados: Os resultados apontam que (1) engenheiros de software não estão conscientes sobre a distinção entre os dois fenômenos (motivação e satisfação no trabalho), (2) motivação é caracterizada pelo engajamento e concentração, (3) motivação é afetada por diversas características da tarefa do engenheiro de software, mas também pela percepção sobre o engajamento dos colegas de trabalho e pela auto-confiança técnica do trabalhador, (4) motivação contribui para a satisfação no trabalho, moderada pela informação provida sobre a performance individual dos engenheiros, e (5) o papel mediador das características pessoais do indivíduo é universal. Conclusão: Com base nestes dados, é proposta uma nova teoria de motivação e satisfação de engenheiros de software (TMS-SE) que une elementos de teorias bem estabelecidas, expandindo-as e adaptando-as à realidade específica de engenheiros de software. A TMS-SE representa um avanço em nossa compreensão do comportamento de engenheiros de software, bem como levanta novas questões e propõe um terreno organizado para futuras investigações nesta área.
Context: Previous research work in the Software Engineering field indicates that a proper management of motivation and job satisfaction at work can help software organisations to achieve higher levels of project success. However, the little concern with the adequate use of well-established theories to underpin these researches left unclear several theoretical and practical aspects of work motivation and job satisfaction in the software context. In fact, there is enough knowledge about job satisfaction factors, but not on specific characteristics of the work that motivate software engineers. Objective: The starting point of this research comprises the Job Satisfaction and the Job Characteristics theories, which argue that job satisfaction and work motivation are distinguishable phenomena, with distinct antecedents and different outcomes. Then, this thesis aims to clarify specifically what factors drive motivation of software engineers at work. Method: The initial theoretical framework was evaluated and enhanced based on findings from a multiple case study that comprised four different software organisations from Recife, Brazil. For 11 months, rich data was collected independently in those organisations, by means of semi-structured interviews, diary studies, and document analyses, and the synthesis followed a standard procedure of cross-case analysis. Results: The results point out that (1) practitioners are not aware of the distinction between work motivation and job satisfaction, (2) work motivation is characterized by engagement and concentration, (3) work motivation is affected by software engineering tasks characteristics and by the co-workers’ engagement, workload and technical confidence, (4) work motivation improves satisfaction moderated by feedback information provided about the individual’s performance, and (5) the mediating role of individual characteristics is pervasive. Conclusion: Based on these data, it was possible to draw up a new theory of motivation and satisfaction of software engineers (TMS-SE), which unites elements from well established theories, expands and adapts them to the software engineering specific context. The TMS-SE represents an advance on our understanding of software engineers’ behaviour as well as it raises new questions and provides an organised ground for future investigations in this area.

Full textStudiens syfte var att beskriva hur ett positivt motivationsklimat kan utvecklas i en golfförening baserat på medlemmarnas uppfattning av existerande förening. Femton stycken golfare (9 manliga och 6 kvinnliga) i åldrarna 15-76 år från tre olika klubbar i Sverige deltog i studien. I studien användes ett kvalitativt angreppssätt och en egen komponerad intervjuguide utformades utifrån bl.a. Vazou, Ntoumanis och Duda (2005) forskning kring motivationsklimat. För att analysera rådata användes metoden kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet visade att de relationer, som framkommit genom tidigare forskning, mellan motivationsklimat och de tre stora områdena; tränare, föräldrar och kamrater också fanns inom golfidrotten. Det som framkom och var nytt i denna studie var att det fanns en annan viktig faktor som påverkade motivationsklimatet inom golf, nämligen anläggningens kvalité.

Full textThe purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of internal motivation and external regulation for physical activity that athletes have, and what barriers they perceive to physical activity and what strategies they use to overcome barriers. Background variables were gender and activity stage. The subjects (n=199) in the study were men (n=96) and women (n=103) and all members of fitness centers in Halland. Highly active (n=165) and low-level (n=34). Data collection was done through a test battery consisting of measuring instruments The Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-2, Physical Activity Stages of Change and Exercise Adherence Questionnaire which were handed out at training facilities. The results showed that both high-level (n=165) and low-level (n=34) has a higher degree of internal motivation than external regulation. The most frequent barriers to physical activity were stress / time constraints, lack of motivation and the most frequently used strategies were the idea of feeling afterwards and the idea of expected results. Interventions to promote long-term exercise behaviour should focus on creating happiness, well being and autonomy of the individual that lead to greater internal motivation that proved to be desirable for a physically active lifestyle. Future studies could deepen more in how motivation, barriers and strategies differ depending on activity stage, by performing a training project with a group low-level to compare if the attitudes differ when they get more physical active.
