Intervjustudien handlar om undersökning av arbetsmotivation för ordinarie anställda och konsulter på en IT avdelning i ett forskningsföretag i slutet på 2007. Arbetsuppgifter höll på att flyttas till Indien och enbart några få anställda kom att sköta administrativa uppgifter efteråt. Hur lyckades anställda och konsulter att upprätthålla sin motivation under neddragningen? Stämde det att inhyrd personal lättare blir av med jobbet?Tidigare Forskning/ Herzbergs, Mausners och Bloch Snydermans studie The motivation to work (1959) är första forskningsmodellen om arbetsmotivation med primära och sekundära faktorer som ligger till grund för arbetstillfredställelse. Detta har kompletterats med senare studier om drivkrafterna för arbetsmotivationen, önskan att tillhöra, behovet att tillhöra och kravet att göra en uppgift från Meyer och Allen (1991).Metod: Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fyra anställda och fem konsulter.

The aim of this study was to look at introduction for staff in a social service office and the social workers experience off the first period at a new workplace. Qualitative interviews have been used as a method of investigating how social workers look at introduction in the workplace and how social workers have experience the first period at the workplace. The empirical material have been analysed by using the theory of Human Service Organizations, street-lever bureaucracy theory and theory concerning work environment. This papers first chapter presents the methodological preferences, the second chapter the theoretical perspective and the results of the study are presented in the third chapter followed by a discussion and ending comments in chapter four. My study showed that introduction is necessary in a complex organisation and could be a way to improve the social workers situation in social service organisations..

The purpose of this project is to examine students' pespectives on quality in teaching. The characteristics that are described to denote a 'good' and 'less good' teachers are linked to ideas about types of corresponding leadership styles in the classroom. The report is based on surveys of students in Upplands-Bro high school outside Stockholm. In order to get better insight and further knowledge of the subject, the student accounts have been related to current discussions in the literature about good leadership and teaching quality.Following the methodology of Grounded theory a pilot study was constructed to design the research instruments. In the pilot study I collected students' perceptions on quality-related categories in teaching and leadership which then formed a bases for a survey which was distributed to a larger student sample. The survey includes questions that relate to the middle order, which is based on three criteria that make up the characteristics of a 'good'/ 'less good' teacher and the leadership style that suits students descriptions of good teacher characteristics.The results of the study show that a good teacher should have subject knowledge, be good at writing and illustrating the curriculum on the whiteboard and explain and clarify their instruction through good communication.

Denna uppsats är genomförd i samarbete med en stödverksamhet som erbjuder insatser enligt Lag om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (SFS 1993:387) med syfte att beskriva mödrars upplevelse av deras egen funktion som mamma till ett barn med högfungerade autism. Datainsamlingen har skett med tre stycken mödrar genom kvalitativa djupintervjuer med narrativa inslag. Vi har utgått från ett systemteoretiskt perspektiv med inslag av Grounded theory som analysmetod för att undersöka systemiska samband. Resultatet visar att mödrarna tar ett stort ansvar i att hjälpa sitt barn att hantera sin vardag. Deras situation medför stora påfrestningar på mödrarnas hälsa där de tvingas offra sina karriärer, sitt sociala umgänge och sjukskriver sig på grund av den stressfyllda situationen.

The value of a good reputation for organizations is increasing today as consumers and citizens become more aware of brands. If a crisis hits an organization, there is now more to lose than before concerning reputation. Therefore the organization?s communication strategies must be developed to sustain the organization?s reputation during and after a crisis.In the field of crisis communication there are two distinguished theories which concern what an organization with help from crisis communication should do to undergo a crisis without losing its reputation. These theories are image repair theory and situational crisis communication theory (SCCT).

The purpose of this Master?s Degree is to identify and understand different techniques of argumentation in written texts originating from the religious movement Jehovah's Witnesses.

The focal point of the thesis is sexuality and how the authors of the texts try to convince the members to follow the movements' doctrines in this regard. I use a modified version of the well-established Grounded theory method.

The method is text analytic. 62 articles from three library journals - Biblioteksbladet, Bibliotek i Samhälle and Ikoner are analysed through a model in four phases.

Title: The customer?s contribution to the innovation-process ? a study of using customers to discover latent needs. Level: Final assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business Administration Author: Robert Klein Supervisor: Agneta Sundström Date: 2014-06 Aim: The purpose of this study is to gain enhanced understanding of what knowledge costumers contribute with in an innovation-process lead by a producer of goods, and how that knowledge is used to fulfill latent needs. The area of research has formerly described which results customer-involvement lead to, but have been scarce in describing how results are produced. Method: From a qualitative onset, a case-study collecting data through observations and interviews capturing customer knowledge contributions, and producer use of fetched knowledge has been conducted. Data has been analyzed using a Grounded theory approach. Results have been processed in several steps in which material has been categorized and enriched continuously. Result & Conclusions: Customer-knowledge is broken down into market-knowledge, everyday-knowledge, and specialist-knowledge, which all are significant to a producer of goods.

Resultaten av vår undersökning visar på att vi generellt sett inte kan säga om individuella investerare agerar enligt regret theory eller inte. En del resultat tyder dock på att vissa effekter inom teorin är applicerbar på individuella investerare. Vi kan urskilja trender som tyder på att individen beter sig på ett visst sett och resonerat kring varför han beter sig så. Individen föredrar alltid det säkra alternativet om förluster eller stora vinster står på spel. Om skillnaden i säkerhet är väldigt liten försummar han den.
