Under de senaste åren har bemanningsbranschen expanderat kraftigt, och idag är det vanligt att företag hyr in personal. I vår undersökning har vi försökt identifiera vilka motiv som ligger bakom detta, och utreda huruvida det finns någon skillnad i motiven med avseende på komplexiteten i uppdraget. Vi har genomfört en kvalitativ intervjustudie av två företag, varav ett som hyr ut personal och ett som hyr in. De resultat vi har kommit fram till är att företag bland annat väljer att hyra in personal för att uppnå flexibilitet, få tillgång till temporär hjälp och spetskompetens, samt möjligheten att pröva en persons lämplighet innan anställning. Det har varit svårt att kartlägga någon definitiv koppling mellan motiven och uppdragets komplexitet, men vissa samband har kunnat urskiljas..

Den här uppsatsen handlar om motivation av personal på svenska storbankers kundcenter. Bak­grunden till uppsatsen är dels diskussionen kring kundcenters ökade betydelse för företag samt problematiken kring vilka motivationsteorier som är lämpliga att använda för att moti­vera personal inom en organisation.I uppsatsen studeras personal från tre stora svenska storbankers kundcenter genom ett om­fattande enkätutskick. Uppsatsen har visat att den viktigaste faktorn för att personal på kund­center ska känna sig motiverade är att ha bra relationer med sina kollegor och överordnade. Uppsatsen har också visat att innehållsbaserade motivationsteorier är användbara för att stu­dera hur olika anställda skiljer sig i vad de värderar mest för att bli motiverade, att innehålls­baserade motivationsteorier kan användas för att förklara varför de flesta av dessa skillnader existerar samt att Herzbergs tvåfaktorsteori inte kan användas för att förklara hur mänskliga relationer påverkar en anställds motivation. .
