Tidigare forskning pekar pa? att medarbetare bland annat motiveras av balans mellan insats och belo?ning, fo?rva?ntningar som a?r fo?renliga med organisationens visioner och instrumentell motivation. A?sikterna i forskningen skiljer sig a?t i hur ansta?llningsform pa?verkar graden av arbetstillfredssta?llelse.

Som det ser ut idag är konkurrensen hård gällande lediga tjänster på arbetsmarknaden.Det förekommer ofta diskussioner kring vikten av att profilera sig och att det intelängre räcker med standardiserade Cv:n vid en arbetsansökan. Syftet med vårt arbeteär således att ge en inblick i hur rekryteringsansvariga värderar och förhåller sig tillolika situationer som kan komma att påverka rekryteringsbeslutet. Med andra ord villvi få en insikt i hur en rekryterares värderingar och prioriteringar kan se ut i praktiken.Vi ansåg att en kvalitativ metod lämpade sig bäst för detta ändamål, då vi villåterspegla en nyanserad och beskrivande bild av ämnesområdet. För att uppnå syftetmed arbetet har vi genomfört sex intervjuer med rekryteringsansvariga inom Karlstadkommun.Vi har utformat en teoretisk referensram som behandlar tidigare forskning ochbegrepp inom ämnesområdet. Resultatet från vårt empiriska material har vidare ställtsi relation till dessa teorier.

The objective of this thesis was to examine and analyse how various directors within old-age care, the resident-coordinator, nursing-staff, and the dementia-team apprehend the organisation of dementia nursing homes in the municipality. Our questions were the following:How important is it that the care-receivers are examined and diagnosed?Do the respondents experience difficulties with non-differentiated dementia nursing homes?Which are the advantages and disadvantages for care receivers/patients and nursing-staff if dementia care homes are differentiated according to the care-receivers dementia diagnosis and phase of illness?Are there alternative solutions to the way the municipality organise the residence for carereceivers today that might improve the situation for care-receivers/patients and nursing-staff?How does cooperation or the lack of it mint the conditions for care in dementia nursing homes?Which goals does the municipality have for the organisation of dementia care?Our approach was a qualitative method consisting of interviews to answer the objective of this thesis and our questions. Our findings are supported by a sociological analysis of organisations. Our findings show that there is a conflict of interest between the principle of permanent residence which imply that the care-receiver should not have to move against her or his will and between the use of differentiated dementia nursing homes.

To which extent elderly people at nursing homes have an influence on their daily living is currently debated. Studies have shown that they have limited influence due to restricting routines associated with nursing homes. Therefore the aim of this study was to examine how elderly people experience the ability to influence their daily living at nursing homes and how limited influence is revealed in the daily care. Five elderly people, from four different nursing homes, underwent a structured interview. The outcome of the interviews was analyzed in relation to established theories related to geriatric care.

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka risken för Compassion Fatique hos sjuksköterskor vid Akademiska sjukhuset i Uppsala. Compassion Fatigue är då en person som konsekvens av sitt empatiska engagemang gentemot en annan person blir emotionellt utmattad. En enkätstudie bland psykiatrisjuksköterskor och sjuksköterskor inom den somatiska vården gjordes, dessa jämfördes i avseende på Compassion Fatique-risk. Huvudresultatet tyder på att nästan en fjärdedel av sjuksköterskorna som grupp är i riskzonen för att utveckla Compassion Fatique och att närmare 40 % av alla deltagare var i riskzonen för att utveckla utbrändhet. 21,9 % låg under referensvärdet för Compassion Satisfaction, vilket innebär att man ej känner sig tillfredställd med sin arbetssituation.

Syftet med föreliggande studie är att undersöka och beskriva vilka faktorer som främjarelevernas motivation för matematikstudier. Med fenomenografi som metodologiskutgångspunkt genomförde jag enskilda intervjuer med åtta elever och två lärare på enhögstadieskola. Resultaten presenteras i form av fem skilda kategorier som uppfattas sombidragande faktorer för elevernas motivation för matematikstudier:A) Betyg och urval för att komma in på gymnasietB) Yttre motivation från föräldrar eller någon annanC) Förståelse som motivationD) Självförtroende som motivationE) Logisk tänkande och praktisk matematik som motivationUtifrån undersökningen kom jag fram till att betyg är en av faktorerna för elevernasmotivation för matematikstudier. Vidare framkom det att lärarna uppfattar att elevernasmotivation höjs genom verklighetsanknytning. Likheter mellan elevers och läraresuppfattningar är att förståelse och föräldrarnas påverkan har stor betydelse för elevernasmotivation..
