Abstract:
Succession planning is the creation of a pool of high potential employees that receive specific training and developmental opportunities with the intention of promotion. There is a definite need to deepen our understanding of what implications there are from a psychological point of view for employees when a major process like succession planning is implemented. Employee engagement is the experienced commitment, which leads to discretionary effort. The purpose of this research is to explore an underlying factor structure for engagement drivers and understand how a major organizational initiative, succession planning, impacts employee engagement. This research was conducted at a petroleum organization in the Southwest United States (N = 2023) and compares engagement based on group membership in a succession planning process (Informed-High Status, Uninformed-High Status, and Uninformed-Low Status). The underlying factor structure of drivers was found to have one factor of engagement. There was a significant difference in the engagement levels based on membership within the succession plan (high status versus low status). However, communicating to an employee their involvement in the succession plan did not differentiate between engagement levels.

Abstract:
Organizational environment (broadly conceptualized) has been shown to have an important influence on job choice (Chapman, Uggerslev, Carroll, Piasentin & Jones, 2005). Controversy exists, however, regarding how to operationalize organizational environment in a way that is both useful and parsimonious. Consistent with the perspective that situational strength meets these criteria (Meyer & Dalal, 2009), the present study found that participants were attracted to hypothetical organizations that were strong with respect to clarity, consistency, and consequences, but weak with respect to constraints. Further, individual differences in various psychological needs were shown to influence the strength of the relationship between situational strength and organizational attraction; for example, those with a high need for achievement were particularly attracted to organizations that were high with respect to consequences. These results not only contribute to the job choice literature, but also suggest that situational strength is more than just a moderator of personality-outcome relationships – it is an important psychological construct in and of itself, with its own nomological network that is worthy of continued research attention.

Abstract:
Motivation is defined as the direction, intensity and persistence of an individual’s participation in an activity (Heckert et al. 2000; Locke and Latham 2002; Moreira et al. 2002). Motivation is vital for performance and encompasses a range of processes and desires (Maslow 1970; Beck 1983; Wentzel 1999). These desires stimulate an action or behaviour, caused and directed by motives where the individual identifies and prioritises goals to be achieved (Deci and Ryan 2000, 2008; Roberts et al. 2004). Motivation experienced at a given moment in time for a specific activity is termed situational motivation (Vallerand 2000) and has not been as thoroughly investigated as contextual level motivation (LaChausse 2006). Traditionally motivation theories have lacked an appropriate framework for addressing the complex processes of situational motivation (Nygård 1981; Veermans and Tapola 2004). However the hierarchical model of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation (HMIEM; Vallerand 2000) extended self-determination theory (SDT) and suggests specific processes for a situational level of motivation as well as for contextual and global motivational processes (Vallerand 2000). The HMIEM shows affect, behaviour and cognition as a consequence of motivation similarly at all three levels of generality. Although it may be that, at the situational level, affect plays a more significant role as an antecedent which is not necessarily mirrored at the contextual or global levels of the HMIEM (Linnenbrink and Pintrich 2002; Hardy and Gustavo 2005; Barnett 2006). The aims of this thesis are to identify factors relating to situational motivation; to assess changes in situational motivation and to investigate the processes of situational motivation during activity. The first study investigated motivation between different sports personality types using a cross sectional design. Participants (n=239), who regularly participated in sports sessions, completed the Sport Motivation Scale (SMS; Pelletier et al. 1995) and an adapted Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI; Eysenck and Eysenck 1964). Results showed that extroverted athletes reported significantly higher intrinsic motivation (IM) than introverted athletes (p = .006) more specifically this was IM-to accomplish (p = .029) and IM-to experience stimulation (p = .001). Athletes high in neuroticism showed significantly more amotivation than their more stable counterparts (p = .001). The findings suggest that some sports participants can experience neuroticism which is also related to high levels of amotivation. Extroverted athletes may focus on utilising both intrinsic and extrinsic motives, in line with Roberts et al. (2004), resulting in higher levels of overall motivation for this study. Introverted athletes showed less intrinsic motivation than expected which may demonstrate a conflict between the internal focus of the introvert and the extrinsic nature of sport as discussed by Hong and O’Neil (2001) and Pushkar et al. (2002). To explore changes in situational motivation over a short period of time, study two employed a two-way between-within subject design. Experienced and less experienced Pilates participants (n=54) completed pre- and post-session Situational Motivation Scales (Guay et al. 2000), the Worcester Affect Scale (WAS; Rhoden and West 2010) and goal achievement information over 4 weeks. Unexpectedly, there were no significant differences between experienced and beginners’ levels of intrinsic or extrinsic motivation for Pilates. Both experienced participants and less experienced participants reported significant increases in IM over time (p = .010). There were increases in the percentage of participants across both groups who recorded pre-session goals, in week 1, thirteen participants reported positive goal achievement but did not report a pre-session goal. There were significant increases in positive affect (PA, p = .001) pre- to post-session and decreases in negative affect (NA p = .004) pre- to post-session for both experienced and less experienced groups. Optimal situational motivation for unfamiliar situations may require a more structured environment where specific information is delivered, and/or a secure environment where individuals can explore their responses. Increased IM may be due to the non-competitive nature of Pilates, although the positive effects of goal achievement may feed into future IM for the remaining sessions through the internalisation process (Standage et al. 2008). The processes of situational motivation were examined in study three by monitoring goal progression and affect during cycle time-trial performance. Seven well-trained cyclists performed two laboratory time trials on a kingcycle ergometer on two separate occasions. Situational motivation (SIMS; Guay et al. 2000), affect (WAS; Rhoden and West 2010) and goal data were collected pre- and post trial using previously validated measures and open questions. Affect and goal achievement were also collected throughout the trial using likert scale measures. Data were analysed individually and single case responses show 5 participants reported an increase in intrinsic motivation after riding their fast trial. Participants also differed in their perceptions of success, P1 rated both trials as successful even though their slowest trial was 83 seconds slower possibly due to achieving their pre-trial goal. Those who perceived themselves as successful also report higher confidence to achieve their goal (GC) from 15 km until the end of the trial. Positive affect during the fast trials was significantly higher than for the slow trials from the start (p = .001) and NA was significantly lower for the first trials also from the start of the trial (p = .001). The lack of change in situational motivation pre- to post-trial suggests that the hierarchical model demonstrates contextual and global motivation but does not represent situational motivation processes accurately. Feelings of satisfaction, associated with intrinsic motivation, can take time to assimilate into an overall motivational orientation (Lonsdale et al. 2009). However, despite no immediate motivational change, affect significantly differed from the start of the perceived successful trials, suggesting that at the situational level, affect is an important construct during time-trial performance. Thus perceived goal progress and affect may be better indicators of situational motivation than more general orientations of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Study four further examined the processes of situational motivation including affect and goal progress, through direct competition during a badminton tournament. Participants (n=16) were county level badminton players in a mixed doubles tournament who completed a number of motivational (SIMS; Guay et al. 2000), goal and affect (WAS; Rhoden and West 2010) measures between games and matches throughout a tournament. Part way through the tournament, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation differed significantly between successful (top 4 finishers) and unsuccessful (bottom 4 finishers) players (p=.028). Whilst negative affect (p=.029), goal confidence (p=.028) and goal discrepancy (p=.028) changed significantly straight after the first game was played. These findings do not lend support for the hierarchical model which assumes that affect, behaviour and cognition are only consequences of situational motivation (Gillet et al. 2009). Taken together, the findings from the studies in this thesis suggest that there are important self-regulatory processes such as goal confidence, goal setting, and affect which may operate in a cyclical manner. These factors may have an influence on the processes of situational motivation which may be different from that suggested with the HMIEM.

Abstract:
Research on situational constraints has overlooked a number of important issues relevant to the generalizability of current findings, including the construct validity of current constraint measures, and an account of the role coping might play in mitigating the effects of constraints. Data from a two-wave panel design with college students as participants was used to investigate the above issues. The data indicated that the current conceptualization and measurement of constraints seems suitable to the task of testing substantive hypotheses. Furthermore, constraints measured with reference to a specific performance domain had greater predictive validity than those representing a general performance domain. The data did not support the contention that problem-focused coping and the perceived controllability of constraints would interact in the prediction of constraints, satisfaction, and performance. Several alternative explanations for the latter findings are offered. Finally, a number of suggestions for the conduct of future research using constraint, controllability, and coping constructs are outlined.

Abstract:
Denna kvalitativa studie syftar till att utveckla kunskap och öka förståelsen om socialsekreterares upplevelser av arbetsmotivation och upplevelser av motiverande ledarskap. Utifrån fem semistrukturerade intervjuer och med utgångspunkt i teorierna, situationsanpassat ledarskap och tvåfaktorteorin visar resultatet i studiens tematiska analys, på upplevelser där relationsinriktat ledarskap är otydligt och bristande från socialtjänstens ledare. Vidare visar resultaten att socialsekreterarnas inre arbetsmotivation  påverkas negativt av ledarnas bristfälliga förmågor och  engagemang att uppmuntra sin personal. Socialsekreterarnas upplevda motivation skapas istället från trivsel med sina arbetskollegor samt i mötet med klienter.
This qualitative study aims at developing knowledge and increasing understanding of social workers 'experiences of work motivation and experience of motivational leadership. Based on five semi- structured interviews and based on the theories, situational leadership and two-factor theory, the results of the study's thematic analysis show experiences in which relationship-oriented leadership is unclear and inadequate from the social services leaders. Furthermore, the results show that the social workers 'internal work motivation is adversely affected by the leaders' inadequate abilities and commitment to encourage their staff. The social motivators' perceived motivation is instead created from well-being with their colleagues and in the meeting with clients.

Abstract:
The purposes of this study were to (1) examine the effects of criterion-referenced (i.e., Programmed Practice Sheet or PPS) and norm-referenced (i.e., standardized) skill assessments on the situational motivation of junior high school physical education students (N = 507), (2) determine if student task and ego dispositions could be affected by the type of skill assessment administered, and (3) determine if having choices of skill level affects student situational motivation and perception of autonomy support. Student situational motivation, task and ego disposition, and sense of autonomy were assessed using the Situational Motivation Scale (SIMS), Perception of Success Questionnaire (POSQ), and the Self-Regulation Questionnaire-Autonomy (SRQ-A). Results revealed significant differences between the criterion-referenced/choice Group 4 and the norm-referenced/no choice Group 1 as follows: Group 4 (a) had a greater sense of identified regulation, (b) had a lesser sense of external control, and (c) was less amotivated than Group 1. Significant gender by group interactions were found, thus indicating that girls were more affected by test type than boys. Girls in Group 4 (a) felt a lesser sense of external regulation, (b) had a greater sense of identified regulation, and (c) were more intrinsically motivated than girls in Group 1. Also, girls in Group 4 (a) felt a greater sense of identified regulation and (b) were more intrinsically motivated than girls in the norm-referenced/choice Group 2. These findings provide some evidence that using criterion-referenced skill assessments, like the PPS, and offering choices of skill level may enhance student situational motivation during skill assessment. No significant differences were found in student task and ego disposition and perception of autonomy support.

Abstract:
"Strong situations" have been shown to decrease behavioral variability, thereby attenuating the criterion-related validity of non-ability individual differences for criteria such as job performance (Barrick&Mount, 1993; Meyer, Dalal,&Bonaccio, 2009). However, it has been suggested that individuals, based on individual differences in implicit motives, may impute discrepant psychological meaning to social stimuli like situational strength--a process sometimes known as differential framing (James&McIntyre, 1996). If different psychological interpretations are attached to strong situation stimuli (e.g., Meyer, Dalal,&Hermida, 2010), an interesting behavioral "double-edged sword" is possible. On the one hand, behaviors pertinent to "primary criteria" (i.e., criteria for which external situational influences and pressures lead to targeted behavioral homogeneity) may occur among those who would not normally engage in them. But, at the same time, behaviors pertinent to "secondary criteria" (i.e., unintended, unforeseen, and potentially reactionary behaviors and/or attitudes) might also increase for some individuals (i.e., those with certain implicit motive characteristics). In other words, high situational strength may simultaneously constrain behavioral variability in primary criteria while serving as a stimulus for differential framing, thereby expanding variability on secondary criteria. The purpose of the present dissertation was twofold: 1) to explore the degree to which situational strength is differentially framed, and 2) to ascertain how the differential framing of situational strength may lead to unintended secondary outcomes. Study 1 findings indicate that, to a partial extent, situational strength is differentially framed by individuals with different implicit motives. Study 2 findings are largely consistent with extant situational strength theory, though partially inconsistent with study predictions.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to investigate the construct validity of the two instruments measuring readiness in Situational Leadership: the Readiness Scales--Manager Rating Form and Staff Member Rating Form--developed by Hambleton, Blanchard, and Hersey (1977). The study examined the relationships between readiness and achievement motivation, and between readiness and faculty education and work experience. The study also explored the concurrent validity of the two instruments measuring McClelland's (1961) achievement motivation: The Achievement Orientation Scale and The NachNaff Scale. The respondents were 66 department chairs and 156 faculty from 12 comprehensive institutions in the South. Data on faculty readiness were collected with the Readiness Scales. Data on achievement motivation were collected using the Achievement Orientation Scale and the NachNaff Scale. A faculty demographic questionnaire was used to collect data on faculty education and work experience: amount of education, length of teaching experience, publications and presentations, public service, and rank. The results of the study provided only partial support for the construct validity of the Readiness Scales. Faculty work experience was significantly correlated with faculty self-rated job readiness for teaching (r =.16, p $<$.05), research (r =.29, p $<$.001), and service (r =.23, p $<$.23). Significant differences were found in faculty self-rated job readiness for teaching (F (2, 143) = 5.08, p $<$.01) and for service (F (2, 139) = 4.33, p $<$.05) among full, associate, and assistant professors. Significant differences were also found in faculty self-rated job readiness for teaching (t = 2.59, p $<$.01) and research (t = 2.79, p $<$.01) between faculty with a doctorate and those with a master's degree. However, the study did not find any relationship between readiness and achievement motivation. From the results of this study, there was no evidence for the concurrent validity for the Readiness Scale--Manager Rating Form and the Readiness Scale--Staff Member Rating Form. There were no statistically significant correlations between faculty self-ratings and department chairs' ratings of faculty readiness. Additionally, no evidence was found for the concurrent validity of the two instruments of the Achievement Orientation Scale and the NachNaff Scale.

Abstract:
The purpose with this examine was to study the teachers perception of leadership in the classroom and also how they experience the conditions of this. The method used was qualitative, and builds on a total of six interviews. Stensmos five leadership tasks in the classroom that constitute leadership context have provided the theoretical basis of this study. The leadership tasks have therefore been used as theoretical tools in this study to analyze the teachers’ reasoning about their own leadership style. In general, results showed that the teachers talk about dissimilar qualities within different kinds of leadership tasks which results in different consequences and effects on the pupils, the teaching and on the teacher leadership in the classroom. The study also shows that some teachers reason about leadership styles in a way that I would like to call autocratic situational leadership and democratic situational leadership. The concept is based on the finding that teachers who advocate the application of an autocratic leadership style express the standpoint that it is the circumstances and the situation in the classroom that demands this kind of leadership style. This is the reason why teachers interpret the autocratic leadership style as an application of a situation related leadership. The teachers that articulate a democratic approach also express the necessity to adapt their leadership style to the level of the pupils and thereby the teachers interpret the democratic leadership style to be situational leadership as well.

Abstract:
This study explored the relationships between school counselors' motivational orientation, perceptions of the importance, and levels of implementation of Academic and Personal/Social Development Standards as a strategy for supporting academic achievement. A secure online survey was sent to 539 Virginia elementary school counselors; 212 completed the questionnaire reflecting a response rate of 39%. Participants rated their perceptions of the importance and their levels of implementation of 26 Virginia Academic and Personal/Social Development Standards (Virginia Department of Education, 2004). The Situational Motivation Scale (SIMS; Guay, Vallerand, & Blanchard, 2000) assessed participants' type of motivation for incorporating personal/social development interventions into their programs as a strategy for supporting academic achievement. Participants' ratings confirm both types of Standards are perceived as highly important for supporting academic achievement and are implemented at relatively high levels. A correlation matrix demonstrated three of the four motivation scores were not related to either perceptions of importance or to levels of implementation of either type of Virginia Standard. Four regression models indicated that the motivation predictor variables accounted for no more than 6.3% of the variance in participants' perceptions of the importance and levels of implementation of either type of Virginia Standard. Finally, the hypothesis that Intrinsic Motivation would be the most salient type of motivation for implementing Virginia's Personal/Social Development Standards as a strategy for supporting academic achievement was not supported. However, high mean scores on the Identified Regulation subscale suggest participants do possess internal motivation for incorporating personal/social development into their programs. Based on the results, several recommendations were offered. School counselors should collaborate with school leaders, embrace accountability practices, and advocate for the necessity of maintaining a comprehensive program focus. Counselor educators can familiarize students with research pertaining to the contributions of different types of development on achievement and emphasize the importance of utilizing the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Model (ASCA, 2005). Implications for future research include replicating this study with principals and secondary school counselors, evaluating how Standards are interpreted and applied between school counseling programs, and examining other constructs found in the motivation literature that may better explain school counselors' desire to maintain a comprehensive program focus.

The data was gathered through case studies. Major focus of the study: How a leader and the way leadership is promoted within a social enterprise can influence the people working within a Social Enterprise and specifically the role of the empowerment in social enterprises are the major focus of this study. Situational leadership was used as the theoretic model to study the role of empowerment and motivation. In order to draw our conclusions we studied four social enterprises and Coompanion, which is an organization that works as an adviser of Social Enterprises. Result: Our analysis illustrates how the unique network consisting of the public sector, Coompanion Hudiksvall and the four Work Integrated Social Enterprises creates a win-win situation for all parts. It also creates the foundation of empowerment with a clear vision to the leaders of these four enterprises, which flows through them. Conclusion: The network, the work integrated social enterprises and the leaders within the social enterprises coexist to create social gain, increasing society’s welfare. Further studies: A quantitative research to find out what are the specific aspects that are relevant to the employees in terms of being motivated. Correlations between what the employee thinks are important and empowerment could be measured.

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to explore from a cultural diversity perspective, students 'views on teachers' leadership styles in the classroom and what style of management students prefer. The study uses a qualitative methodology to interviewed focus groups of students consisting of a total of twelve students at a secondary school in Botkyrka municipality. The corpus was divided into three different groups. Overall, results showed that students seem to prefer an intercultural situational leadership style. This is based on the students expressed need of wanting to be understood on the basis of their cultural background. That means that the teacher according to their background,  situation and knowledge should adapt leadership. Teachers should also be leaders who maintain balance, responsiveness and flexibility in teaching style in order to increase the motivation of students.

Abstract:
Sammanfattning Syfte – Syftet med studien är Att undersöka samband mellan ledarskap och god psykosocial arbetsmiljö hos medarbetare.För att svara på studiens syfte har syftet brutits ned till tre frågeställningar enligt nedan. 1. Vad ser ledare på företag med god psykosocial arbetsmiljö som ett gott ledarskap respektive mindre bra ledarskap? 2. Vad gör ledaren på ett företag med god psykosocial arbetsmiljö för att göra individen motiverad i sitt arbete? 3. Hur kännetecknas ledarskap på de olika förtagen med god psykosocial arbetsmiljö? Metod – Studien är en kvalitativ intervjustudie med en induktiv ansats där teori och empiri samlats in och jämförts analytiskt under arbetets gång. Teorin samlades in med hjälp av litteraturstudier. Den insamlade data sammanställdes utifrån fem olika intervjuer med fem olika ledare från varje utvalt företag. Intervjuerna transkriberades och därefter utfördes en kodningsprocess för att välja ut det mest relevanta till analysdelen. Resultat – Uppfattningen var att flera av ledarna hade utvecklats i sin roll och verkade ha gått från ett transaktionellt ledarskap mot ett transformativt, då det transformativa ofta bygger på ett transaktionellt ledarskap. Vad som kan tydas efter analysen är att det krävs motivationsfaktorer som till exempel uppmuntran/uppmärksamhet, relation till chef och kollegor, samt personlig utveckling i främsta led för att ha en god psykosocial arbetsmiljö. För att kunna ha fokus på motivationsfaktorerna är faktiskt hygienfaktorerna en viktig del för att kunna uppnå denna anda. Det transformativa ledarskapet var beskrivet hos alla företag, vissa med den bemärkelsen, andra med liknande men beskrivningen var densamma. Fokus ligger på medarbetarens behov och ledarskapet utgår därefter. Slutsatsen som dras i den här studien är att det transformativa ledarskapet kan verka som det självklara ledarskapet, men faktum är att det inte alltid passar i alla lägen. Ett situationsanpassat ledarskap varar längst och ger individerna möjlighet till att motiveras och utvecklas anpassat efter deras behov. Därav är ett flexibelt ledarskap det som borde eftersträvas. Implikationer – Studiens praktiska bidrag är hur ett flexibelt ledarskap bäst utvecklar motivationen bland medarbetare. Trots olika bakgrunder kan en gemensam bild av ett gott ledarskap uppnås med olika vägar dit. Det teoretiska bidraget är att studien har funnit en relation mellan transaktionellt, transformativt och situationsanpassat ledarskap, där det transformativa är det som övergripligt bör användas i ett ledarskap. Begränsningar– Studiens är begränsad till företag med mer än 600 medarbetare, samt enbart tillverkande företag. Inga medarbetare har blivit intervjuade i studien vilket begränsar studien till ledares perspektiv. Nyckelord– Transaktionellt ledarskap, tranformativt ledarskap, psykosocial arbetsmiljö, situationsanpassat ledarskap, motivation, arbetstillfredsställelse
Abstract Purpose – The purpose with the study is “To investigate the relationship between leadership and good psychosocial work environment with employees”. To answer the purpose with the study, the purpose has been broken down to three questions as below. 1. What do leaders in companies with good psychosocial work environment see as a good leadership and less good leadership? 2. What does the leader of a company with a good psychosocial work environment do to make the individual motivated in their work? 3. How is leadership characterized by the different companies with good psychosocial work environment? Method – The study is a qualitative interview study with an inductive approach where theory and empirical data are collected and compared analytically during the process. The theory was collected using literature studies. The collected data was compiled from five different interviews with five different leaders from selected companies. The interviews were transcribed, and a coding process was performed to select the most relevant parts for the analysis. Findings – The perception was that several of the leaders had developed in their role and seemed to have gone from a transactional leadership to a transformative, since the transformative is often based on the transactional. What can be explained after the analysis is that motivation factors such as encouragement/ attention, relationship with manager and colleagues are required, as well as personal development at the forefront of having a good psychosocial work environment, but in order to be able to focus on the motivational factors, the hygiene factors are actually an important part to be able to achieve this spirit. The transformative leadership was described by all companies, some by that sense, others by similar but the description was the same. The focus is on the employee's needs and the leadership is based on that. The conclusion drawn in this study is that the transformative leadership may seem like the obvious leadership, but the fact is that it does not always fit in all situations. Situational leadership lasts the longest and gives individuals the opportunity to be motivated and developed according to their needs. Hence, flexible leadership is what should be pursued. Implications – Practical contribution from the study is how flexible leadership best develops motivation among employees. Despite various backgrounds, a common image of good leadership can be achieved with different ways to do so. The theoretical contribution is that the study has found a relationship between transactional, transformational and situational leadership, where the transformative is what should be used broadly in a leadership. Limitations – The study is limited to companies with more than 600 employees, and only manufacturing companies. No employees have been interviewed in the study, which limits the study to the leaders' perspective. Keywords – Transactional Leadership, Transformational Leadership, Psychosocial Work Environment, Situational Leadership, Motivation, Job Satisfaction

Abstract:
This study seeks to examine (1) in what situations Swedish upper secondary school students from two EFL classes are unwilling to speak English in English class, and (2) what the motivational factors are for the same students to speak English. Students in their first and second year of studying English in Swedish upper secondary school participated in this study. The data were collected using observations, a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The data collected in this study were analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The results of the study showed that students are unwilling to speak English in assessed situations as well as in situations where students are given less time before they can speak. The results suggest that students are influenced by one another, and that using English only instruction will make students more confident in speaking activities since speaking English will be normative behavior in class. Moreover, students are motivated to speak the target language in class by the English they meet outside of school, and by the plans that they have envisioned for their future.

Abstract:
Syfte: Ledarskap är en viktig del i att skapa motivation hos idrottande individer. Med bakgrund mot den dramatiska nedgången av idrottare mellan 18-30 år inom den organiserade idrotten har studien haft som syfte att ta reda på vilken typ av ledarskap som motiverar dessa individer. Studiens förhoppning är att en större förståelse för denna fråga kan leda till att fler individer i den studerade målgruppen stannar inom idrotten vilket i förlängningen kan generera positiva resultat på folkhälsan.  Metod: Genom användningen av en kvalitativ forskningsmetod, har det i denna studie genomförts semistrukturerade intervjuer med en hjälp av konstruerad intervjuguide som bygger på det teoretiska ramverk studien förhåller sig till. Det genomfördes 10 olika intervjuer med respondenter som faller inom den population som studien ämnar att undersöka.   Resultat och slutsats: Studiens resultat visar på att ett mer individanpassat ledarskap skapar mer motivation inom den studerade kontexten. Genom att individanpassa och involvera idrottarna i större grad visar fynden i studien på en större motivation till fortsatt idrottande. I studien kunde en skillnad urskiljas mellan den individuella- och lagidrotten där graden av individanpassning generellt var bättre inom den individuella idrotten.   Examensarbetets bidrag: Denna studie bidrar med kunskap kring hur ledare kan anpassa sin ledarskapsstil i syfte att skapa motivation hos följarna, i detta fall inom en idrottskontext. Studien presenterar även förslag på vilka åtgärder som skulle kunna fungera och bidra till ett större kvarhållande av idrottare. Studien har även kunnat kontextualisera omfattande ledarskapsteorier inom det studerade ämnet. Det genererar en möjlighet till att besvara forskningsfrågan, men även utgöra en grund för framtida forskning inom ämnet.   Förslag på vidare forskning: Studiens frågeställning kan enligt oss besvaras med användningen av olika typer av forskningsmetoder. En kvantitativ forskningsmetod eller liknande kan generera en högre grad av generaliserbarhet i förhållande till populationen. Motivation samt ledarskap och dess implikationer på kvarhållandet av idrottare överlag är även en forskningsbar aspekt som bör beaktas. Det kan vara fördelaktigt att studera olika former av populationer inom samhällets ramar, för att bidra till en bredare förståelse inom ämnet.
Aim: Leadership is an important part of creating motivation amongst athletes. Against the background of the dramatic decline in athletes between the ages of 18-30 in organized sports, the study aims to find out what type of leadership that motivates these individuals. The study aspire to provide with a greater understanding of this issue which in the long run can lead to more individuals, in the studied target group, staying in sports and also generate positive results on public health.  Method: The study uses a qualitative research method in the form of semi-structured interviews. The interviews have been conducted with the help of a constructed interview guide based on the theoretical framework the study relates to. 10 different interviews were realized with respondents who are within the population in which the study intends to examine.    Results and conclusions: The results of the study showed that more individualized leadership creates more motivation within the studied context. By adapting to the individual and involving the athletes to a greater extent, the findings in the study showed a greater motivation for continued sports. In the study, a difference could be distinguished between the individual and team sports where the level of individual adaptation generally was better in the individual sport.  Contribution of the thesis: This study contributes with knowledge about leaders and how they can adapt their leadership style in order to create motivation within the followers, in this case within a sports context. The study also presents suggestions on what measures could work and contribute to greater retention of athletes. The study has also been able to contextualize extensive leadership theories within the studied subject. This generates an opportunity to answer the question in the study, but also form a basis for future research.   Suggestions for further research:We believe that different types of research methods can be applied to conduct this study.  A quantitative research method or similar can generate a greater degree of generalizability in relation to the population. Motivation and leadership and their implications for the retention of athletes in general is also a researchable aspect that should be considered. It can be beneficial to study different forms of populations within the framework of society, in order to generate a broader understanding of the subject.

Abstract:
La mort est l’événement inévitable que la grande majorité des individus souhaite occulter, motivés par une volonté incontestable de continuer à vivre. Parce qu’elle est à la fois source de mystère, de fascination et d’angoisse, cette thématique a fait l’objet de beaucoup d’intérêt en psychologie grâce à la Terror Management Theory (ou théorie de la gestion de la terreur, TMT). Celle-ci permet de rendre compte de la façon dont la peur de la mort est fondamentalement ancrée dans la nature humaine, ainsi que les mécanismes de défense déployés en réponse aux rappels de la perspective de fin de vie suscités par la situation de saillance de mortalité. Ce travail doctoral souhaite compléter la littérature existante sur la TMT en étudiant notamment l’impact de la saillance de mortalité sur le cadrage situationnel, i.e. la mobilisation d’une stratégie d’approche versus d’évitement et les préférences produits promotion versus prévention. Dans cette perspective, une expérimentation a été menée auprès de 360 individus de deux tranches d’âge distinctes (40-59 ans et 60-79 ans). Les résultats obtenus confirment l’existence de deux processus indépendants (approche vs. évitement), de sorte que la manipulation de la saillance de mortalité suscite l’adoption d’une stratégie spécifique et des préférences produits distinctes. Ils montrent également le rôle modérateur fondamental de l’âge chronologique dans ce processus, qui peut s’expliquer notamment par le processus de vieillissement
Death is the unescapable event that most of individuals want to hide motivated by a fundamental will to stay alive. Because it can be source of mystery, fascination and anxiety, this topic has been of specific interest in psychology thanks to the Terror Management Theory (TMT). This theory enables to understand how fear of death is fundamentally anchored in the human nature and the defense mechanisms that are used in response to death reminders that are aroused by the mortality salience situation. This doctoral research aims at filling the gap in the litterature on TMT while studying specifically the impact of mortality salience on situational regulatory focus, i.e. the adoption of an approach versus avoidance strategy and the preferences for promotion versus prevention products. In this perspective, an experimentation has been conducted among 360 individuals from two distinct age classes (40-59 and 60-79). The results confirm the existence of two independent processes (approach vs. avoidance), so that the mortality salience manipulation leads to the adoption of a specific strategy and distinct product preferences. They also show the main moderator role of chronological age in this process, that can be mainly explained by the aging process

Abstract:
Upper secondary education has been identified by different institutions as the minimum educational threshold in a knowledge society, a necessary requirement for citizens of all ages to respond to the social changes driven by global technological innovation. Figures from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) unfortunately show that a large share of adult population in OECD countries still lack upper secondary qualifications. Italy appears in these statistics as one among the lowest ranking countries and provisions currently in place to bring adult citizens back to school still yield quite low numbers. This research aims at exploring the challenges to adult students' participation in upper secondary education in Italy examining the actual experience of a group of grown-up learners attending a public vocational school. The results of the inquiry are based on the analysis of semi-structured interviews framed in a qualitative research design. The study is grounded in a theoretical frame derived both from participation theories and from the capability approach. The main conclusion of the research is that successful participation and persistence in adult education require students’ expectations to be appropriately met by an attentive customized institutional support. To this respect, the research suggests recommendations in order to improve public information about provisions for grown-up students, to separate adult education from second chance teenage schooling and to customize adult learning through appropriate learning management tools.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with attempting to understand the contemporary motivation and conditions for collective community action. This study is based on interviews with 20 people who are active in their local community in the North East of England. It explores the rationale behind their commitment to the 'common good' and identifies the circumstances and conditions that support, shape and develop that commitment. The study is of particular current interest and also highlights contemporary tensions. On the one hand current government policy, especially in the areas of renewal and regeneration, relies heavily on the active involvement of local people, both in the areas of decision making at strategic level and through an increase in community and voluntary sector activity. On the other hand however, society is generally described as displaying features of what some may term the 'post-modern' condition, that is a mind-set defined primarily through an increase in individualism, an absence of collective values and a tendency 'to bowl alone' (Putnam 2000). This tendency is reflected in the changes to adult education, which has been increasingly individualised and therefore no longer provides the pathways to collective involvement that used to be part of its radical tradition. The findings from this study challenge the prevailing assumptions of apathy, inactivity and individualism and show the very broad range of reasons that motivate people of different ages and backgrounds to become and remain active with others. Furthermore, this study outlines the conditions that are likely for this engagement to flourish, to take it beyond a remedial, temporary 'life style' option and instead to allow it to take root as a sustainable and transformative contribution to local neighbourhoods.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis aims to address two problems that appear to attach to the model of rational agency that underlies Kant's moral philosophy. These I call the problem of experiential incongruence and the problem of misdirected moral attention. The former problem arises because the central elements of Kant's theory of action (the possession of and action upon maxims; the subjection of maxims to moral assessment through the Categorical Imperative's universalisability test; our supposedly perennial consciousness of the moral law; and so on) seem not to square at all with our lived experience of agency. The latter problem, on the other hand, is a result of Kant's apparently claiming that when an agent 11s from duty, her reason for 4Ling is just that the maxim of tILing can simultaneously be acted upon and willed to be a universal law, while its contrary maxim cannot. This picture seems, as Philip Stratton-Lake notes, to place the good-willed agent's attention in the wrong place, namely, on the nature of her own policies of action, rather than on the external world of "concrete considerations". In order to show that Kant's practical philosophy is able to sidestep both problems, I first develop and argue for a particular account of what I call "the traditional model," or that picture of rational agency that can be gleaned from Kant's writings, expressed in the terms that Kant himself uses. I then go on to offer a novel interpretation of that model, according to which (1) all the central concepts of Kant's theory of rational agency are shown to be entirely compatible with our experience as agents, and (2) the Kantian good-willed agent is shown to be centrally concerned with, and motivated by, concrete considerations.

Abstract:
Le modèle hiérarchique de la motivation intrinsèque et extrinsèque de Vallerand (1997) soumet l’idée que les motivations seraient définies selon trois niveaux de généralité. Le niveau situationnel réfère à la motivation à l’instant « t », celle qui nous habite durant la pratique même d’une activité. Le niveau contextuel renvoie aux motivations de l’individu envers un contexte de vie (e. G. , activité physique, éducation). Enfin le niveau global représente l’orientation motivationnelle générale d’un individu à interagir avec son environnement. Nous nous sommes plus particulièrement focalisés sur le niveau situationnel puisqu’il permet notamment de distinguer les évolutions de la motivation au cours d’une même activité. Notre première étude (i. E. , chapitre 3) consiste à montrer que la motivation intrinsèque situationnelle est un construit dynamique. Les études deux, trois et quatre (cf. Chapitre 4), consistent à élaborer, valider et appliquer un nouvel outil de mesure de la motivation situationnelle. Cet outil (i. E. , SiMS4) est un questionnaire de type « papier-crayon » composé de quatre items (i. E. , motivation intrinsèque, deux types de motivations extrinsèques et l’amotivation) qui permet aux sujets de s’autoévaluer plusieurs fois pendant la réalisation d’une tâche. Notre dernière étude (cf. Chapitre 5), est une nouvelle application de notre outil de mesure dans le milieu scolaire. Nous montrons que la motivation situationnelle des élèves est à la croisée entre un mécanisme de préservation et de flexibilité. Ce mécanisme rend possible une évolution continue plus ou moins importante de la motivation pendant la situation scolaire
The hierarchical model of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation (Vallerand, 1997) suggested that motivation exists at three levels of generality. The situational level refers to the motivation that individuals experience when they are currently engaging in an activity. The contextual level refers to individuals’ usual motivational orientation toward a specific context (e. G. , physical activity, education). Finally global motivation represents general guidelines to the causality of a person within the meaning described by Deci and Ryan (1985). We especially focused on the situational level since it allows us to distinguish between changes in motivation during the same activity. Our first study (i. E. , chapter 3) aims at showing that situational intrinsic motivation is a dynamic construct. Studies two, three and four (i. E. , chapter 4) are conducted to develop, validate and apply a new tool for measuring situational motivation. This tool (i. E. , SiMS4) is a "paper and pencil" questionnaire-type with four items (i. E. , intrinsic motivation, two types of extrinsic motivation, and amotivation) which allows subjects to self-evaluate several times when performing a task. Our last study (i. E. , chapter 5) is a new application of our tool in schools. We show that the students’ situational motivation vary between a mechanism for preserving and flexibility. This mechanism makes possible a more or less important continuous evolution of the motivation during the school situation

Full text
Abstract:
Au delà de ses implications pour l’état de santé et le bien être psychologique, le coping s’avère être un concept central en situation d’accomplissement permettant de saisir les mécanismes conduisant à la performance sportive et à la réussite académique. Etant donné le stress généré par la mise en jeu des compétences et l’incertitude du résultat, les situations d’accomplissement, sportives et académiques, peuvent être particulièrement menaçantes pour l’individu et mettre à l’épreuve ses ressources adaptatives. L’enjeu de ce travail est d’étendre les connaissances sur le concept de coping au-delà du champ de la santé en se focalisant sur les situations d’accomplissement et leurs implications en termes de performance. L’objectif général est donc de comprendre pourquoi et comment les individus font face au stress de manière adaptée ou dysfonctionnelle en contexte d’accomplissement. En se basant sur la structure générale du modèle transactionnel du stress et du coping de Lazarus & Folkman (1984), ce travail doctoral se focalise sur les antécédents du coping en situation d’accomplissement. Ainsi, le programme de recherche mené repose sur la thèse selon laquelle les stratégies de coping déployées en situation d’accomplissement sont déterminées par des antécédents individuels et situationnels spécifiques à ces situations. Les trois premières études attestent de la valeur prédictive de variables cruciales en contexte d’accomplissement (i. E. , les théories implicites relatives à la nature de l’habileté, la motivation sous-jacente à l’engagement dans ce contexte, et les buts d’accomplissements poursuivis) sur l’adoption de stratégies de coping spécifiques en contexte d’accomplissement. Au-delà de l’influence des différentes sources de stress rencontrées à l’entraînement et en compétition, les situations d’accomplissement sont également porteuses de micro-demandes susceptibles d’influencer la manière dont l’individu réagit au sein même de la situation. Ce travail doctoral souligne donc la contribution d’antécédents individuels spécifiques aux contextes d’accomplissement et de demandes spécifiques véhiculées par de tels contextes sur l’adoption de stratégies de coping
Beyond its implications on health and psychological well-being, coping is shown as being a central concept in achievement situation, then allowing the understanding of the mechanisms leading to sport performance and academic success. Given the stress generated by the skills and the uncertainty of the results, situations of achievement – sportive or academic – could be particularly threatening for the individual and could challenging his adaptive resources. The stake of this research is to extend the knowledge of the concept of coping beyond the field of health, by focusing on situations of achievement and their implications in terms of performance. The overall aim is thus to understand why and how individuals face stress, in an adaptive or dysfunctional way in a context of achievement. Referring to the general structure of the transactional model of stress and coping (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984), this research focuses on the antecedents of coping in situations of achievement. Thus, the program of research is based on the idea according to which strategies of coping employed in situations of achievement are determined by individual and situational antecedents which are specific to these situations. The first three studies showed the predictive value of critical variables in a context of achievement (i. E. The implicit theories relative to the nature of the skill, the underlying motivation of commitment in this context, and the achievement goals) on the adoption of specific strategies of coping. Beyond the influence of various sources of stress met during, both training and competition, achievement situations equally carry micro-demands that are susceptible to influence the way individuals react to the situation. This research highlights the contribution of specific individual antecedents to contexts of achievement and of specific demands driven by such contexts on the adoption of strategies of coping

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Socialt företagande utmärks av entreprenörens förmåga att identifiera samhällsproblem och tillmötesgå de sociala behoven i samhället. Det finns olika definitioner av socialt entreprenörskap, och dessa antyder att de styrande drivkrafterna skiljer sig ifrån de i traditionellt entreprenörskap. De motivationsfaktorer som den sociala entreprenören har skulle kunna återspeglas i hur verksamheten bedrivs och hur organisationens grundtankar förmedlas ut i företaget. Vidare skulle detta kunna ha en påverkan i strävan efter företagets uppsatta mål, vare sig deär socialt, miljömässigt eller ekonomiskt motiverade. Problemformulering: Vad finns det för drivkrafter hos en social entreprenör samt hur genomsyras det i företaget?Syfte:Syftet med uppsatsen är att genom fallstudie skapa ökad förståelse för den sociala entreprenören samt hur den motivation som finns visar sig iverksamheten. Metod: För uppsatsen har en kvalitativ ansats valts,och baseras på en fallstudie av ett företag vars verksamhet utgår ifrån socialt entreprenörskap. Data har samlats in via ett abduktivt tillvägagångssätt, genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer, observationer och teoretisk insamling. Slutsats: Uppsatsen påvisar de drivkrafter som finns hos den sociala entreprenören. Exempelvis att det primära målet är att uppnå en positiv social-och miljömässig påverkan i samhället, snarare än att generera en ekonomisk vinst. Andra drivkrafter är samtidigt att motivera och utbilda personalen inom medvetenhet om hållbarhet, säkerhet och kvalitet.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to investigate how stress affects nurses in Luleå Kommun. The questions regarding this issue are;” Does stress affect the quality of the task?” and” How does stress affect the motivation nurses feel at work”. Qualitative data methods have been used. This is evident through the ten semi-structured interviews given to participating nurses employed within Luleå kommun. These interviews were subsequently processed through a thematic method of analysis. This approach is abductive, as the information has been collected and construed via empirical data and theory. The results show that the respondents felt their departments were short-handed. As a result, their work settings were perceived as stressful. Due to this high-stress environment, the respondents also felt that the support from their colleagues was of greater importance than the support from their management team. Due to the lack of staff, the contact between the management team and the employees was scarce. Further analysis of the results found that everyone serving in the hospital had the same basic idea and willingness to help individuals to a healthy life. Conclusively, if the same determination is shown, particularly from management team, to assist in a healthy working climate, through an increase in staff and more direct support given to employees, stress will most certainly be reduced in employees.
Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur stress påverkar sjuksköterskor i Luleå kommun. Frågeställningarna lyder därmed följande: ”på vilket sätt påverkar stress utförandet av arbetsuppgifterna?” och ”På vilket sättpåverkar stress sjuksköterskans arbetsmotivation?”. Metoden var av kvalitativ karaktär då den består av tio semistrukturerade intervjuer med sjuksköterskor som är verksamma inom Luleå kommun. Resultatet visar att respondenterna upplever en stor underbemanning på avdelningarna. Som följd upplevs deras arbetssituation som stressfull. På grund av rådande situation upplever även respondenterna att stödet från kollegorna är av större betydelse än den från ledningen. Detta då kontakten med cheferna är bristfällig då tiden inte räcker till. Slutligen framkommer det att stressen påverkar både motivation och utförande av arbetsuppgifter hos sjuksköterskorna. Det visas genom bristande noggrannhet av arbetsuppgifter då tiden inte räcker till. Således påverkas även motivationen negativt.

Abstract:

Coaching har blivit mycket av ett slagord inom företagsvärlden och olika konsultfirmor. Men vad innebär det konkret för individer och organisationer? Denna studie kommer att behandla coaching utförd av en ledare. Därav kommer både ett öppet och modernt ledarskap som coaching kräver behandlas, samt huvudämnet coaching.

Bakgrunden till studien är främst att allt för många ledare idag fortfarande rekryteras med auktoritär ledarskapsstil som inte prioriterar utveckling av de anställda, samt att coaching som definition ibland misstolkas. Så syftet är att behandla dessa frågor och diskutera kring frågeställningarna: Vad är coaching? Vilken betydelse har coaching?

 

Metoden som tillämpas i denna uppsats är en kvalitativ studie med fyra representanter från Brynäs IF hockey A-lag, tränaren Niklas Czarnecki, assisterande tränare Tommy Jonsson, spelarna Ove Molin och Emil Sandin presenterar deras verklighet omkring ledarskap och coaching.


 

Coaching has become much of a catchphrase in the business world and various consulting firms. But what does it mean specifically for individuals and organizations? This study deals with coaching conducted by a leader. Therefore the study will examine both an open and modern leadership as coaching require, and the main subject coaching.

The background to the study is based on that too many leaders today recruits authoritarian leadership style that does not see the potential of their employees and the definition of coaching is sometimes misinterpreted. So the aim is to address these issues and discuss the questions: What is coaching? And What is the importance of coaching?

The method applied in this study is a qualitative method with four representatives from Brynäs IF hockey A-team, which trainer Niklas Czarnecki, assistant trainer Tommy Jonsson and players Ove Molin and Emil Sandin present the reality about leadership and coaching.

Abstract:
La santé du dirigeant de PME, en tant que premier actif immatériel de l’entrepreneur, fait l’objet depuis une dizaine d’années d’un courant de recherche qui tend à démontrer que l’entrepreneuriat est vecteur de bonne santé bien que cette santé soit soumise à une plus forte amplitude d’émotions que celle des salariés. Ce travail doctoral s’inscrit dans ce courant de recherche en opérant une focalisation sur les entrepreneurs en situation du handicap. Cette thèse pluridisciplinaire adopte une posture épistémologique de type interprétative de nature inductive. Vingt entrepreneurs en situation de handicap qui ont opéré une transition entrepreneuriale (passage du salariat à l’entrepreneuriat) ont été interrogés. Afin d’avoir une compréhension globale de cette population, le type de handicap, la date de la survenance du handicap et le secteur d’activité n’ont pas été retenus comme critères de sélection pour appréhender une grande variété d’entrepreneurs en situation de handicap. Deux aspects ont été ainsi étudiés dans ce travail doctoral : les entrepreneurs en situation de handicap et la transition entrepreneuriale des personnes handicapées. Au niveau conceptuel, ce travail de recherche doctoral a appliqué les théories des motivations entrepreneuriales et de la salutogénèse entrepreneuriale. Les résultats de cette thèse mettent en avant deux constats : le caractère central du handicap dans la vie de l’entrepreneur et la difficile alliance entre l’entrepreneuriat et le handicap
The health of the SMEs owner, as the first intangible asset of the entrepreneur, has been the subject of a trend of research for ten years, which tends to show that entrepreneurship is a vector of good health, although this health is subject to a greater range of emotions than that of employees. This doctoral work is part of this research by focusing on entrepreneurs with disabilities. This multidisciplinary thesis adopts an epistemological posture of interpretative type of inductive nature. Twenty entrepreneurs with disabilities who made an entrepreneurial transition (transition from wage-earning to entrepreneurship) were interviewed. In order to have a global understanding of this population, the type of disability, the date of the onset of the disability and the sector of activity were not selected as selection criteria to apprehend a wide variety of entrepreneurs in disability. Two aspects were studied in this doctoral work: entrepreneurs with disabilities and the entrepreneurial transition of people with disabilities.At the conceptual level, this doctoral research work has applied theories of entrepreneurial motivations and entrepreneurial salutogenesis. The results of this thesis highlight two findings: the centrality of disability in the life of the entrepreneur and the difficult alliance between entrepreneurship and disability

Abstract:
Companies adopt codes of conduct to set minimum standards on ethical issues, minimums that suppliers must keep. Problems has been found by other researchers regarding suppliers motivation to comply to the code. This study develops a conceptual model for how motivation can be adjusted to different countries, depending on economic situation, politic stability and culture of the country.   Country-Adjusted Motivation is made  by shaping motivating in relation to the human need that dominates in the country and by using the national culture to colour motivation. The model is applied in the context of how to motivate suppliers to a code of conduct in different countries. The model Country-Adjusted Motivation could as well be applied to other multinational contexts, where strong motivation is needed.

Abstract:
Le concept de « motivation » se distingue par une multitude d’approches et d’études déterminant ses aspects et ses impacts dans le champ des sciences humaines et sociales. Il se présente comme un élément important pour mobiliser le facteur humain et stimuler son niveau de performance. En référence aux sciences de l’information et de la communication et aux sciences de l’éducation, la motivation, de type intrinsèque ou extrinsèque, se manifeste dans un environnement qui favorise, parmi d’autres, l’expression, l’interaction et l’engagement. Dans une vision d’apprentissage, les pratiques de formation évoluent introduisant de nouvelles techniques sophistiquées, plus efficaces, telles que l’usage de dispositifs immersifs de formation à distance. Dès lors, notre thèse se penche sur l’étude du phénomène de la motivation au sein d’un dispositif sociotechnique animé par des avatars. Ceci va montrer la force de l’immersion dans le monde virtuel et son impact sur la motivation de l’usager de ce système de communication. Il s’agit donc de traiter une problématique traduisant les ambitions de l’apprenant de réussir son concours de Ma thèse en 180 secondes en combinant les pratiques et l’environnement qui stimulent son comportement au cours de sa formation. Un apprentissage favorisant la motivation par l’usage des personnages virtuels reproduisant les mouvements et les émotions de l’usager est un nouveau modèle de médiation porteur dans les sciences de l’information et de la communication.Notre thèse est d’avancer un outil de formation à distance qui optimise la communication entre les apprenants et leurs enseignants et développe un cercle d’apprentissage basé sur la motivation. Notre choix méthodologique est fondé sur une approche compréhensive permettant d’élucider la nature des liens conçus entre le monde réel et le monde virtuel mettant en interaction un sujet et son avatar. Pour ce faire, une expérimentation est engagée sur notre terrain de recherche, balisée par des techniques d’observations et d’entretiens qualitatifs afin de comprendre la nature des liens forgés entre les acteurs du système immersif et de saisir les stimuli de la motivation de l’apprenant dans une mise en situation de formation à distance
The concept of “motivation” can be characterized by several approaches and studies that determine its aspects and its impacts in the fields of human and social science. It constitutes an important element that mobilizes human factors and stimulates performance level. In reference to information, communication and education science, intrinsic or extrinsic types of motivation can manifest in an environment that promotes expression, interaction and engagement. In a learning outlook, learning practices evolve introducing new and more efficient sophisticated techniques, such as the usage of immersive e-learning systems. Our research studies motivation phenomena through a sociotechnical protocol, animated by avatars. This will show immersion strength in the virtual environment and its impact on the motivation of the user of that communication system. The main point is to analyze a problematic that determines the ambitions of the trainee associated with winning the competition “My thesis in three minutes”, by combining practices and an environment that stimulates his behavior during the course. A learning process favoring motivation by the usage of virtual characters who reproduce the user’s movements and emotions is a new promising model of mediation in information and communication science.Our thesis is to present an e-learning tool that optimizes communication between teachers and learners and develops a learning circle based on motivation. Our methodology choice is based on a comprehensive approach that allows clarifying the nature of the actual links between the real and the virtual worlds, which creates an interaction between an individual and his avatar. To accomplish this, an experiment was set up and performed in our research field using observation techniques and qualitative interviews in order to understand the nature of the links existing between actors of the immersive system and to unravel the stimuli of the trainee’s motivation in an e-leaning situation

Abstract:
This study is based on the notion that the most widely cited and used instrument for assessing volunteer motivations, the Volunteer Function Inventory (VFI), might not be sufficient in its aspiration to aid, streamline and benefit the recruitment and retention process within volunteer organizations. Understanding volunteers’ motivation is a crucial component in the process of securing future volunteer engagement in a world where their efforts are desperately needed. This study aims to explain motives and motivation behind volunteer efforts in extreme situations as well as to examine the dependability of the theoretical framework in relation to the forthcoming result, based on the following research questions: What motivated Swedish medical personnel to volunteer during the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa? How could the motives and motivation of Swedish medical personnel be categorized in accordance with the Volunteer Function Inventory (VFI)? Is the Volunteer Function Inventory (VFI) a sufficient tool for analyzing the motives and motivation of Swedish medical personnel in the given case? The presented research questions will be answer through a qualitative theory-consuming study, based mainly on interviews. The interviews are, however, complimented by various written sources in the field of research. The result and subsequent analysis confirms the authors’ notion on the VFI and highlights certain deficits in the tool’s execution and its succeeding result. The result of the study shows that the respondents were motivated by a great variety of motivational elements, a variety that the VFI cannot properly account for. Essential information is therefore left unexposed by the VFI, leaving the volunteer organizations in an undesirable situation where they, in their pursuit to recruit and retain the volunteers, are forced to evaluate and accommodate candidates without knowing their complete motivational process. Therefore, the authors deem the tool as applicable but not sufficient. Concludingly, the authors call for additional and more distinct functions in the VFI; an instrument for assessing if the volunteers are intrinsically or extrinsically motivated as well as a sub-section within the tool for determining the presence and character of inhibiting factors affecting the volunteers motivation.
Att fastställa och möta en volontärarbetares motiv och motivation är en avgörande del i arbetet med att säkerställa ett framtida engagemang. I en värld med återkommande naturkatastrofer, väpnade konflikter och epidemier är betydelsen av volontärinsatser större än någonsin. Studien ämnar således undersöka om Volunteer Function Inventory (VFI) – det mest citerade och använda verktyget inom forskningsområdet för att undersöka och fastställa volontärarbetares motiv och motivation – är tillräckligt tillförlitligt i dess strävan att underlätta, effektivisera och gynna rekryterings- och retentionsprocessen inom volontärorganisationer. Undersökningen bygger på en kvalitativ teorikonsumerande studie vilken baseras på djupintervjuer med svensk sjukvårdspersonal kring deras volontärinsatser under ebolautbrottet i Västafrika 2014. Studiens resultat och efterföljande analys påvisar att VFI som verktyg uppvisar vissa brister i dess nuvarande utformning och i den data som genereras. Studien visar att respondenterna motiverades av en stor variation motivationsdrivande element som VFI inte kan redogöra för tillräckligt väl. Detta lämnar volontärorganisationer i en oönskad situation där de i sin strävan att rekrytera och behålla volontärarbetare tvingas utvärdera personer utan att känna till deras fullständiga motivationsbild. Sammanfattningsvis efterfrågar författarna fler och mer distinkta funktioner i VFI; ett instrument för att avgöra om volontärerna drivs av inre eller yttre motivation samt ett tillägg för att kunna fastställa förekomsten, och således karaktären, av motivationshämmande faktorer hos en volontärarbetare.

Abstract:
Försvarsmakten har sedan år 2000 varit en organisation under konstant förändring. Till förmån för krigsförbanden har depåorganisationen reducerats personellt under denna förändring. Officerare i depåorganisationen har trots detta fortsättningsvis viktiga uppgifter att lösa för att Försvarsmaktens verksamhet skall fungera. Hur upplever officerarna vid Livgardets depåförband sin situation? Syftet med studien är att öka förståelsen för hur officerare i depåförbanden upplever och hanterar sin situation. Undersökningen har genomförts som en fallstudie med metoden grounded theory och datainsamling via observationer samt 8 stycken djupintervjuer.  Slutsats: Officerarna i Livgardets depåförband upplever en orimlig arbetsbörda. Officerarna saknar verktyg för att förändra denna situation och hanterar den genom att lösa uppgifter som de upplever bidrar till att uppfylla grundläggande mänskliga behov för att känna tillräcklighet. Om denna situation inte förändras riskerar dessa officerare att drabbas av utmattning.

Abstract:
Duale Prozessmodelle unterscheiden implizite und explizite Formen der Informations-verarbeitung (Strack & Deutsch, 2004). Implizite Verarbeitung erfolgt schnell und un-bewusst und basiert auf affektiv-assoziativen Netzwerken. Explizite Verarbeitung geschieht überlegt und langsam und beinhaltet bewusste, kognitive Entscheidungsprozesse. In dualen Prozessmodellen der Motivation sagen implizite Motive langfristiges Verhalten und explizite Motive bewusste Entscheidungen vorher (McClelland, et al., 1989). Hoher positiver Affekt sowie geringer negativer Affekt aktivieren implizite kognitive Systeme während eine entgegen gesetzte Ausprägung explizite Informationsverarbeitung bahnt (J. Kuhl, 2000a). Drei Feldstudien untersuchen die diskriminante Validität impliziter vs. expliziter motivationaler Prozesse für das Verhalten in unbewussten vs. bewussten kritischen Situatio-nen im Hochleistungssport. In Studie 1 und 2 wird bei Tennis- (N = 60) und Basketballspielern (N = 56) die Fähigkeit erhoben, positiven und negativen Affekt zu regulieren (ACS-90; J. Kuhl, 1994). In Studie 3 (N = 86) werden zusätzlich implizite (OMT; J. Kuhl & Scheffer, 1999) und explizite Motive (PRF; D. N. Jackson, 1999) sowie die Fähigkeit zur bewussten Selbstregulation (VCQ; J. Kuhl & Fuhrmann, 1998) gemessen. In Studie 1 sagen explizite Formen der Verarbeitung (niedrige positive Affektregulation) die Tennisleistung in objektiv kritischen (wie Tie Breaks) aber nicht in bewusst kritischen Situationen vorher. In Studie 2 führt implizite Verarbeitung (hohe negative Af-fektregulation) zu besseren Basketballleistungen in objektiv kritischen Spielen. In Studie 3 unterstützt explizite Verarbeitung Leistungen in bewusst kritischen Situationen im Rückschlagsport. In unbewusst kritischen Situationen erzielen dagegen Sportler mit ausgeprägten impliziten Motiven bessere Ergebnisse. Die Befunde werden hinsichtlich der Sportartenspezifik, dem Grad der Bewusstheit sowie Persönlichkeitsunterschiede diskutiert.
Dual-process models distinguish implicit and explicit ways of information processing (Strack & Deutsch, 2004). Implicit processes are based on associative affective networks and operate fast and unconsciously. Explicit processing is a cognitive, usually slow, deliberate, and conscious way of decision-making. Dual-process models of motivation propose that implicit motives predict long-term behavior and explicit motives predict deliberate decisions (McClelland, Koestner, & Weinberger, 1989). Up-regulation of positive affect and down-regulation of negative affect activate implicit cognitive systems while regulation in the opposite direction triggers explicit information processing (J. Kuhl, 2000a). Within three field studies it is investigated whether implicit vs. explicit motivational processes are of discriminant validity for professional athletic behavior in unconsciously vs. consciously critical situations. In study one and two, tennis (N = 60) and basketball professionals’ (N = 56) abilities to regulate positive and negative affect (ACS-90; J. Kuhl, 1994) are assessed. In study three (N = 86) the additional measures of implicit (OMT; J. Kuhl & Scheffer, 1999) and explicit motives (PRF; D. N. Jackson, 1999) as well as conscious self-regulation (VCQ; J. Kuhl & Fuhrmann, 1998) are used. Study one proposes that explicit processing supports performance in objective critical situations (tie breaks) in tennis. However, in consciously critical situations no advantage for explicitly processing athletes could be found. In study two implicitly processing basketball players perform better in objectively critical games. In the final study racquet sportsmen who process explicitly perform better in consciously critical situations. In contrast, in unconsciously critical situations athletes with high implicit motives gain better results. Findings are discussed from the perspective of task specificity, degree of awareness, and individual differences.

Abstract:

It is becoming increasingly difficult, although very important, for companies to reach out to its customers and differentiate themselves in the market place. The main reason is that the competition is extremely intensified and customers can quite easily switch between suppliers. Focusing on relations is a way for companies to overcome some obstacles of competition that is evident in today’s market place. One way for companies to reach its customers, strengthen the relation, and meet them face-to-face is to create events. How-ever, finding the target group and motivating individuals to attend events is an important issue for the companies arranging events. There has to be a match between what the company arranging the event want to communicate and what the invited individual expects to gain out of attending the event. It is further important to direct the event towards certain individuals and also to make sure that the invited people actually attend the event.

The purpose of the thesis is to explore how companies can arrange meaningful events to a targeted audience and examine what factors motivates the individuals to actually attend these events.

An inductive approach is mainly used since it allows for flexible structure where empirical data is collected and before applying appropriate theoretical framework. The authors have further chose to collect data in a qualitative manner as this allows for open ended inter-views which can generate in deeper understanding of the reasons for individuals to attend corporate events. The primary data was based on interviews related to four corporate events previously taking place.

The authors found that there are numerous reasons for creating corporate events mainly because events are a platform that naturally integrates many marketing activities. When targeting individuals a personal contact can increase the likelihood that the invited people will attend an event. The reason is that through direct communication a person has the opportunity to tailor the invitation by explaining the reasons for why this particular person should find the event important and interesting to attend. Corporate events should offer valuable information for the attendees otherwise there is risk that invited individuals will not attend an event. Individuals attend events for the purpose of interacting with representatives from the arranging company as well as people from other attending companies. It can be concluded that a corporate event should be work related in some how and include new information and/or offer networking possibilities.


Det blir allt svårare, men ständigt mer viktigt, för företag att nå ut till sina kunder och differentiera sig på marknaden. Den främsta anledningen är att konkurrensen är mycket intensiv och det är förhållandevis enkelt för kunder att byta leverantörer. Genom att fokusera på relationer kan företag övervinna några av de konkurrenshinder som är påtagliga på dagsläget. Genom skapande av events kan företag nå sina kunder, möta dem öga mot öga och där-med stärka relationen till dem. För att lyckas med detta är det viktigt för företag att hitta de tilltänkta målgrupperna och motivera individer till att bli intresserade och faktiskt besöka eventet. Det är viktigt att anpassa ett företags motiv för skapandet av ett event men det som de inbjudna individerna förväntar sig få ut av att besöka eventet. Det är vidare viktigt att ett event riktas mot de tilltänkta individerna och för ett företag att se till att de inbjudna verkligen besöker eventet.

Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka hur företag kan arrangera meningsfulla events för en tilltänkt målgrupp och ta reda på vilka faktorer som motiverar individer att faktiskt besöka dessa events.

Ett induktivt tillvägagångssätt används till största delen i uppsatsen eftersom det är tillåter en flexibel struktur där författarna utgår från empirisk data för att sedan hitta lämplig teori. Författarna har även valt att använda kvalitativ data eftersom det möjliggör öppna intervjuer som kan ge djupare inblick i hur företagsevent kan skapa mervärde för ett företag och dess besökare och förståelse för de inbjudnas motivationsfaktorer. Primär data baserades på intervjuer med individer relaterade till fyra olika företagsevent som tidigare ägt rum.

Studien visar att företag har många olika skäl till att arrangera events och den främsta orsaken till detta är att events är ett forum som integrerar flera marknadsföringsaktiviteter på ett naturligt och ofrånkomligt sätt. När ett företag marknadsför ett event till en tilltänkt målgrupp kan personlig direktkontakt öka sannolikheten att de inbjudna kommer att besöka eventet. Anledningen till detta är att direktkommunikation ger ett företag möjligheten att skräddarsy inbjudan genom att förklara varför just denna individ bör besöka eventet och varför det bör vara viktigt för denne. Ett företagsevent bör erbjuda besökande individer värdefull information, i annat fall riskerar företaget att många individer inte kommer priori-tera just detta event. Individer besöker företagsevent i syftet att integrera med representan-ter från det arrangerande företaget och individer från andra besökande företag. Studien visar att företagsevent bör vara arbetsrelaterade i dess utformning och erbjuda intressant in-formation och/eller erbjuda integrationsmöjligheter.

Abstract:
Titel: Att leda en byråkratisk organisation  Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att förstå hur ledarna av byråkratisk organisation strukturerar sitt arbete och hur de kan fördela arbetsuppgifter på ett smidigt och effektivt vis. Metod: Studiens grundas i en kvalitativ intervjuundersökning med en deduktiv teori och syftar till att förstå en komplex bransch. Insamling av empiriskt material har varit genom intervjuer och den teoretiska referensramen är taget från böcker och vetenskapliga artiklar.  Slutsats: De slutsatser som kan dras av denna studie är bland annat att hur pass viktigt det kan vara att vara flexibel som ledare, varje situation är unik och det finns inga generella lösningar att tillgå. Redan vid organisering av hur strukturen inom en organisation skall vara, är det ytterst viktigt att ledarens roll blir tydligt definierad. Dels för tydlighet gentemot de anställda men samtidigt för ledarens skull, det är viktigt att redan från första början vara medveten om vad som förväntas från dig som ledare. Beroende på vem du som ledare skall bemöta, kan det behövas anpassning och förberedelser inför mötet. Anställda kan inte behandlas på samma vis, just eftersom alla anställda är enskilda individer som behöver tillgodoses med olika behov. Något annat som visas av denna studie är att ledaren även behöver anpassa sitt ledarskap beroende på kundens beslut från Försäkringskassan samt att delge de anställda kring den regalerade branschen för att få förståelse för ledningsgruppens arbete i en relation med Försäkringskassan.
