Undersöka vilka olika motivationsfaktorer och belöningar är motiverande för medarbetare samt vilka belöningar är motiverande på kort och långt sikt. Även undersöka hur medarbetare förhåller sig till belöningssystem Metod: Jag har använt kvantitativ metod bestående av enkäter. Data jag samlat in, kodades om till siffror och sedan redogjordes med hjälp av olika typer av diagram och tabeller, vilket blev grunden för min analys. Slutsats: Att ha bra kontakt med sina medarbetare och chefer, att få ta eget ansvar, utvecklingsmöjligheter/utbildningsmöjligheter, att få feedback och beröm samt att få högre lön är de mest motiverande belöningarna. Utvecklingsmöjligheter/utbildningsmöjligheter är mest motiverande på långt sikt medan de övriga nämnda belöningarna är mest motiverande både på kort och långt sikt. Anställda upplever en skillnad hos de båda belöningssystemen, monetärt anses vara orättvist medan icke monetärt anses vara rättvist.

The aim of this thesis is to describe the customer?s attitudes toward the contracting for availability, i.e., which factors are from the customer?s perspective necessary for the fulfilment of a supplier-customer agreement? Furthermore, the objective is to describe and analyse a supplier-customer relation in the Defence Industrial sphere.The present study has been carried out as a case study using an abductive approach. The thesis is based on a practical problem, i.e. which factors will be important to the customer when a contractor in the Defence Industry wants to increase its commitment of service, and how will their relationship change? The thesis is above all focused on generating knowledge that can lead to rapid and concrete measures and that can be used in the analysis of an increased industrial commitment but also as a case study of a problem of a more general nature in the Defence Industry.

The purpose of this study is to survey how the Sweden Democrats? success in the latest election to the Swedish parliament has changed teaching in social science. The main question is: in what way has the success of the Sweden Democrats influenced social science teaching? This leads to following sub-questions: 1) how do the social science teachers define the Sweden Democrats, 2) how do teachers relate to the Sweden Democrats in the classroom, 3) has there been a change in students? political opinions and 4) were there any discussions or proposals from the school administration which followed the parliamentary election of 2010? To answer these questions, interviews were made with four teachers. The main conclusion of this study is that the Sweden Democrats? success led to a simplification of teaching because phenomena and opinions that were previously taboo nowadays are normalized and thus have its place in the classroom.

Syfte Syftet med arbetet är, att genom studier av applicerande företags tillvägagångssätt vid framtagande av investeringsbeslutsunderlag och genom jämförelse av dessa med de utvärderingar företagen senare gjort, bedöma tillvägagångssättens tillförlitlighet och samtidigt visa i vilken utsträckning konventionella investeringskalkyler kan tillämpas vid bedömning av systemens värde. Metod Jag har valt ut tre intervjuobjekt utifrån utbudet av applicerande företag. Vidare har jag intervjuat två företag som utvecklar automatiserade system för rekrytering för att fördjupa kunskaperna om systemen bakom lösningarna och för att ta del av dessa företags erfarenhet av området. Slutsats Tillvägagångssätten för framtagande av beslutsunderlag är olika från fall till fall. Det går inte att peka på någon eller några regelmässigheter i dessa. Förvånansvärt många av de intervjuade företagen har förbisett lönsamhetsbedömning vid beslutstillfället och grundat beslutet på lösa förhoppningar om odefinierade kostnadsbesparingar som systemet kan komma att generera. Dock är de underlag och uppgifter som framtagits av diverse bolag riktiga med reservation för referensfakta, det vill säga vilket utgångsläge systemet värderas mot.

Background: This paper was performed by a student in the Public Health Sciences program at the University of Gothenburg as a mandate from the district administration (SDF) Askim-Frölunda-Högsbo in Gothenburg.

Global warming is going to affect our society in many ways. One can say that the problem we face has two different sides. One of those sides has received a lot of attention, namely how we can reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases. However, because of the climate system's inertia the climate will continue to evolve over a period, no matter how much we will cut back on emissions. Because of this, we have to start adapting our society to the climate changes that we cannot influence.

The purpose of this paper is to determine the established law and make researches into non-institutional compulsory care (?mellantvång?) paragraph 22 The Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act (from now on called LVU) and examine whether the administration of the law is in harmony with the best interests of the child.This paper combines two methods : traditional judicial method and a social science method. In the juridical part the sources of law have been studied and in the social sciences part semi-structured interviews have been conducted with five respondents. The theoretical framework consists of ideas and theories about the best interests of the child, a concept which is one of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child's core principles.This study shows that the legislator has identified a problem and an existing need and found a solution to this by introducing a non-institutional compulsory care, paragraph 22 LVU. The problem is that Social Services do not make use of the restraint.

According to many scholars America's soft power is in decline, a power resource whose importance has been increasing in world politics. This makes it interesting to examine if there is a difference between how Democratic and Republican administrations wield their soft power.This thesis is a hypothesis-testing study and the purpose is to test the hypothesis that Democratic administrations, to a greater extent than Republican, can create, utilize and defend soft power. My thesis is based on Joseph Nye's theory of soft power and the focus of this study is the aspects of the foreign policy resources. In order to measure this concept I have made my own operationalization where five different indicators serve as my guidance. I use the method of least likely-cases to select and motivate the administrations being tested, which gives me a comparative study of the Democratic administrations of Lyndon Johnson and Bill Clinton and the Republican administration of George H.

Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att redogöra för hur ledare och anställda i en distansorganisation kan uppmuntras, via en god kommunikation till att förmedla sin kreativa förmåga. Genom att beskriva hur arbetet med kommunikation sker mellan de båda partnerna, kan vi presentera en förståelse om hur det skapas nya kreativa idéer även när medarbetarna inte är under kontorets tak. Metod: Den metod vi har utgått ifrån är en kvalitativ studie där data har samlats in genom en personlig intervju samt tre stycken telefonintervjuer. Den personliga intervjun genomfördes med KNS Bilfrakt AB ena delägare. Telefonintervjuerna genomfördes på tre lastbilschaufförer inom samma organisation.

The usage of visions and strategies is something that helps an organisation to create an imaginary scenario and guide them of how to realize these goals. During the years of 2006-2008 Region Gotland presented a document that was supposed to show the region's visions. The theoretical framework of this thesis is based on the stakeholder theory, Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and Management Control Systems Package (MCS). Personal interviews were conducted within the organisation Region Gotland, with individuals whom are directly linked to the visions and strategies of the organisation. The purpose of this study is to clarify the concepts of vision and strategy, and what their impact is on the organisation's work on the operation level.
