Den övergripande frågeställningen för denna studie är hur arbetsmotivation påverkas av olika typer av belöningar. Gröjer & Gröjer (1988) s.13 definierar belöning på följande vis ?Med belöning avses arbetsgivarens ekonomiska och sociala uppskattning till individer eller kollektiv utöver vad som antingen betraktas som en normal ersättning för en prestation eller som en allmän förmån som gäller alla.? I denna studie undersöks hur chefer och medarbetare upplever belöningens påverkan på arbetsmotivationen. Sju intervjuer genomfördes på ett företag vars lönesystem bestod av en fast- och en rörlig del. Resultatet av undersökningen visade att det oftast inte är den ekonomiska belöningen som medarbetarna upplever som motiverande, snarare beröm, feedback, arbetstrivsel och utvecklingsmöjligheter.

The aim of this study was to gain a greater understanding of what social workers perceive to be mentally demanding and emotionally challenging work, and which strategies they use to handle it. I chose to interview six social workers, three of them had long experience of social work, and three of them had worked for less than a year. The justification for this choice wasthat I wanted to interview people with different experience of social work over time, to be able to see possible differences in what was perceived as mentally demanding and emotionally challenging work, and how it was handled. The social workers were interviewed with a semi structured interview manual.The results showed that the organization of the social service is not fitted to the work that social workers execute. This means that what is perceived as mentally demanding and emotionally challenging work largely depends on this.

Background: Homelessness is increasing, and health care is still difficult for many homeless people to achieve. If they get sick, it is both technically challenging to get a clinic they can go to, but also an economic problem because most of the homeless have no gainful employment. The fact that many homeless people experience bad attitudes of health care professionals is one reason why they don?t seek healthcare until an emergency arises. In the profession as a nurse, all people should be given equal treatment regardless of background.

Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva svenska egenföretagande tandhygienisters (EfTH) arbetsförhållanden för att studera om där fanns samband mellan fysisk och psykosocial arbetsmiljö och arbetstillfredsställelse i gruppen. Samliga tandhygienister i Sveriges tandhygienistförenings sektion för egna företagare (n = 179) inbjöds att deltaga i studien vilken gjordes med hjälp av ett frågeformulär grundat på en förkortad version av the General Nordic Questionnaire for Psychological and Social Factors at Work, QPSNordic 34+. Sextiofem procent (n=108) svarade på enkäten. Resultaten visade att äldre tandhygienister och de som hade fler än 19 yrkesår upplevde högre grad av arbetsskicklighet, var säkrare i sin yrkesroll och kände sig mindre stressade än yngre. Stress var relaterat till fler än trettio arbetstimmar per vecka.
