Syftet med studien är att få större insikt i hur pedagoger kan hjälpa sina elever att få motivation till eget musicerande och spelglädje. Med en fenomenografisk utgångspunkt och genom kvalitativa intervjuer där fyra träblåslärare vid olika musik- och kulturskolor deltog, undersöktes deras syn på hur de ser på sina elevers motivation och hur de undervisar för att inspirera sina elever till fortsatt musicerande.Av intervjusvaren framgår tydligt att viktiga källor till motivation är mål, samspel, grupptillhörighet och jag-kan känsla. I resultatdelen har jag kategoriserat och analyserat intervjusvaren och avslutningsvis förs en diskussion kring resultaten i förhållande till begreppen motivation och didaktik..

Syftet var att kartlägga hur pedagogen kan öka elevernas motivation för ämnet matematik. Kartläggningen ägde rum i år fyra, sju och nio samt med pedagoger från tre olika skolor i Bodens kommun hösten 2004. Avsikten var att hitta de faktorer som påverkar elevers motivation och vad man som pedagog kan göra för att öka motivationen för ämnet matematik. Vi använde oss av enkätundersökningar för att få en så bred bild av helheten som möjligt. Resultatet av undersökningen tyder på att eleverna är beroende av hur man som enskild individ mår, omgivningen, bemötande, eget intresse, pedagogens engagemang, individanpassning, läromedel och lektionens utformning.

Motivation är ett centralt begrepp inom psykologisk forskning och är väsentligt i organisationer för att skapa förståelse om hur aktiviteter på arbetet påverkar anställdas motivation och prestation. Motivationsfaktorer förklaras bero på både inre och yttre drivkrafter. De inre drivkrafterna styrs av individens intressen och tillfredsställelse i arbetsuppgifter på arbetet, medan de yttre förklaras som exempelvis belöning och att uppnå företagsmål. Denna studie bygger på åtta intervjuer där syftet var att undersöka subjektiva upplevelser av inre och yttre motivation på arbetsplatsen. Resultatet analyserades med hjälp av metoden meningskoncentrering vilket uppvisade 4 teman i faktorn inre motivation: frihet, välbefinnande, mål och delaktighet.

I detta examensarbete presenterar vi vår kvalitativa studie kring fenomenet motivation och motivationsarbete i skolan utifrån ett lärarperspektiv. Fokus i studien är vad verksamma lärare lägger i begreppet motivation samt hur det kan gestaltas i praktiken. Metoden vi har använt oss av är observationer på två olika skolor, i fyra olika klasser och intervjuer av fyra lärare. Resultatet visar att begreppet motivation är diffust och tolkningsbart samt att lärare ofta tar till olika slags artefakter för att skapa motivation och lustfyllda lärandesituationer i klassrummet. .

Today, the management concept of lean has stretched far from its origins in the Japanese automobile industry. When reaching the Swedish restaurant industry, the conditions for a successful implementation of lean change as a result of the high employee turnover and the significant amount of part-time employees characteristic for the industry. Combined with a high-end service profile, these workforce characteristics seem inconsistent with some of the basic principles of lean. By conducting a case study, this thesis aims to investigate the effects of a variable workforce on the enablers for a successful implementation of lean in a high-end service industry. Using a theoretical framework consisting of enablers for an implementation of lean in services, the study finds that the variable workforce inhibits an implementation of lean by complicating the effects of traditional training, as well as the possibility of understanding the lean concept at all levels of the organization.

This thesis investigates the regulation of hybrid work environments by focusing on the implementation of rules by both management and employees. It examines the methods used to measure compliance and the consequences of non-compliance within organizations. The study also explores how flexibility in work arrangements and the balance between work and personal life affect employee well-being and productivity. Furthermore, it highlights the critical role of self-leadership in navigating the complexities of hybrid work, emphasizing how effective self-management can enhance organizational efficiency and employee satisfaction. We have adopted a qualitative research approach and interviewed employees, managers, and HR personnel with experience in hybrid work. The different perspectives are expected to provide insights into this area by including all levels within an organization It is evident that organizations that have clearly established rules and guidelines regarding hybrid work have achieved the best desired results.

Motivation a?r viktigt i alla organisationen och i alla yrkesroller.

This paper aims to find out how to implement an information security management (ISMS) system that is based on ISO/IEC 27001-standard into a small organization with high employee turnover. The standard employs the PDCA-method as a course of action for implementing the standard. The reason for implementing such a system is to introduce information security to the organization and to maintain it despite the changes in management. The paper based it?s survey on a case study of a student nation in Uppsala, Sweden.

An explorative study on the work motivation of employees at a retirement home. The three main factors are internal motivation, external motivation and control. A comparison between how important they estimate the different factors to be and how they experience them today reveals which factor is their key motivator and which areas that need improvement. Results indicat that internal and external motivation are slightly more important than control. And the amount of perceived control reflects the amount of creative and initiative behaviour of the individual.

The study aims to increase understanding and knowledge of motivation; this by examining how the leader experiences her capability to promote employees' work motivation. Also, how employees perceive that the leader influence and enhance their work motivation. Interviews were conducted with a manager and two employees of a government agency in Sweden. The results demonstrate different opinions between manager and employees in the manager's ability to foster motivation in the everyday work. The leader thinks that she promotes her employees work positively and believes that she is giving her employees attention and appreciation.

It is now increasingly common for organisations to work actively with HR issues. Furthermore, it is a constant top priority for organisations to remain profitable. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether so called soft HR values, as manager?s communication skills, has an actual impact on hard values in terms of costs for the organisation.

Women?s strive to reach higher leading positions and build a career that's combinable with child birth and private life, is an on-going debate among academics in the fields of leadership, management and organization.

In sectors with high skill requirements, recruiting is a core part of a company's development. Initially, the companies attract talented employees by creating an interest in the organization. Further, the challenge remains to match potential workers expectations with the company?s requirements and conditions. This is crucial since an unsuccessful recruitment involves high costs.

Studies in Sweden have shown that about 80% of all youth in Sweden have participated in organized sport during their upbringing but at the age of 20 only 50% of these continue. There have been several attempts to understand why youth stop participating in sports but few aimed to understand why they continue. The objective of this study was to examine if there is a difference in motivation between youth (in the ages of 16-20 years) who participate in recreational and elite sports. The study was carried out as a quantitative survey where both recreational (n=35) and elite athletes (n=33) particpated. The study used a Sport Motivation Scale questionnaire translated into Swedish.
