Forskning har visat att self-efficacy, självkänsla, KASAM och locus of control alla har en effekt på graden av upplevd stress. Dock inte alla tillsammans, vilket denna studie avsåg att undersöka samt deras inbördes relationer och vilken variabel som predicerar stress bäst. Högskolestudenter (n = 65) svarade på varsin enkät. Resultatet visade att alla variablerna hade signifikant negativ korrelation med upplevd stress. Ju högre nivå på variablerna desto mindre stressade var studenterna.

Bakgrund:    Ekonomistyrningen omfattar planering och uppföljning av ekonomiska mål och mått, samt påverkan på en verksamhet och dess personal genom beslut och handling. Styrmedel behövs för att fullgöra ekonomistyrningens funktioner och uppnå företagets uppsatta mål. Budget är ett av de vanligaste styrsystemen inom de formella styrmedlen. I dagsläget är debatten om budgetering intensiv och det råder oenigheter om budgeten i själva verket är ett bra verktyg eller ett onödig ont. Syfte:     Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vilken betydelse budgeten har som styrmedel i det valda fallföretaget. Vidare vill vi ta reda på om de driftsansvariga på Burger King upplever budgeten som ett stöd eller en belastning. Metod:   En kvalitativ undersökningsmetodik och ett deduktivt angreppssätt har använts i  uppsatsen.

AbstractManagement is a field that started getting attention in the beginning of the 20th century by Frederick Taylor. His publication is called the Principles of Scientific Management and is based on the principles of using scientific methods to find the best way of conducting each operation within a production facility. Many of Taylor?s principles may appear obsolete today but the matter of an effective material flow is still highly current. Efficiency is the relationship between the input into an operation and its result.

Sammanfattning Titel: Målstyrning i gymnasieskolan Författare: Kent Hemberg , Oskar Hermansen , Roger Pettersson Kurs: Kandidatarbete i företagsekonomi Handledare: Carina Svensson och Henrick Gyllberg Institution: Institutionen för Ekonomi och Management (IEM) Syfte 1: Syftet med vår uppsats är att undersöka om målen från regeringen och Skolverket bryts ner till mätbara och utvärderingsbara mål i gymnasieskolan. Syfte 2: Vi vill också se om skolans organisation från kommunala skolpolitiker ner till lärare kommit så långt i sin omorganisering att man kan säga att målstyrning fungerar. Metod: Kandidatarbetet är utformat som en kvalitativ fallstudie och för att samla in det empiriska materialet har vi använt oss av öppna intervjuer. I vår avgränsning, att på kommunal nivå se och tolka hur mål formuleras för gymnasieskolan, har vi valt att intervjua personer inom gymnasienämnden, utbildningsförvaltningen och gymnasieskolan. Slutsatser: Idag fungerar den målstyrda skolan efter mycket slit av de ansvariga politikerna, förvaltarna, skolledningen och lärarna.

In April 2010 Vägverket (the Swedish National Road Agency) andBanverket (the Swedish National Railway Agency) will merge intoTrafikverket (the Swedish National Traffic Agency). Trafikverket willassume unified responsibility for the risk management that atpresent is responsibility of Vägverket and Banverket separately. Atpresent, as it will be shown in this thesis, Vägverket and Banverketshare the same theoretical background for risk management but usedifferent implementations often within the same agency. The use ofdifferent implementations results in a reduced transparency of therisk management both within and outside the agencies: this willbecome even more problematic when they will be fused intoTrafikverket.The aim of this thesis is to review the current risk managementmethodologies used at Vägverket and Banverket and to suggest aunified tool for the risk management at Trafikverket. This will bedone by focusing in particular on construction projects, one fromVägverket (Partihallsförbindelsen) and one from Banverket(Nynäsbanan).

The comprehensive purpose of this Master of Science thesis is to examine which fleetmanagement services for engineering vehicles, ?Fleetech? preferablyought to develop inorder to reach a broad market and meet the demands of contractors.Scanty explained, fleet management is the management of a company's vehicle fleet and theservices can include a range of functions such as driver management and fuel management. Inshort the thesis encompasses four sections:1.Survey of the general contractor industry: The survey has been preformed toevaluate the potential size of the market for fleet management services in the generalcontractor industry.2.Needs analysis: The needs analysis aim was to define what contractors tasks andgoals are, and to determine what functions they want and need from a system.3.The use of CAN and the technical premises: The prerequisite for developing asophisticated and generic system is that vehicle data can be accessed from the CANbuss.The use of CAN standards in construction equipment has therefore beenexamined.4.Specification: An explicit set of requirements have been set to be satisfied by a fuelmanagement service, based on CAN standard protocol J1939.Important conclusions: The use of CAN protocol standards are extensive and the prerequisitesfor developing elementary and CAN based services good. The services should be compatiblewith different manufacture?smachines.

Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om den nya tilldelningsmodellen ha lett till de effekter man önskade uppnå med det förändrade systemet. Avsikten är också att i de fall effekterna inte uppnåtts finna förklaringar till detta. Metod: Jag har gjort en fallstudie av Blekinge Tekniska Högskola. Personliga samtal och insamlat internt material har tillsammans med teorin legat till grund för slutsatserna. Slutsats: De önskade effekterna har inte i helhet uppnåtts.
