Under skoltiden är det meningen att man ska lära sig saker även i hemmet. En viktig del i en inlärningsprocess är motivation, då ofta i de inledande faserna under processen. Den här studien undersöker hur man kan studera motivation i en läxläsningssituation, de olika perspektiv som finns att beskriva motivation och om det finns en skillnad i ansträngning och prestation mellan individer av positiv respektive negativ attityd. Resultatet visar att det inte finns en signifikant skillnad i varken prestation eller ansträngning mellan dessa grupper, men man kan se en tendens att positivt inställda anstränger sig mer..

Abstract Project as a method was defined in the American defense industry in the 1950´s and has since then developed to encompass many different areas such as industrial management, administration, research and development and IT etc. In the cultural sector project is a common way of organizing work and within theatre, which is the focus of this study, one can claim that project as a form of work has been used for hundreds of years, if not by definition.Theatre is generally assumed to be an form of art representing creativity and innovation, highly demanding from an individual perspective relative to the project result, i.e. the final performance. Time pressure, fierce competition, limited resources and responsibility to deliver on time with high quality are natural conditions given.The aim of the study is to find out what circumstances and conditions affect and have a clear impact on motivation and creativity in those working professionally within theatre.This study is based upon qualitative interviews with a limited number of employees with different occupations, within a major publicly-funded Swedish theatre institution.Contemporary research indicates both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation as essential for how we experience and commit ourselves to our work, either as two separate forces but also as they interact.Extensive studies further state our individual experience from work, the conditions provided by the organization and social environment as crucial to our work performance. A positive experience from these factors enhance our motivation and creativity.The results of this study show theatre to be an activity supported by strong visions and clear goals where challenge and creativity are essential and where it´s members show strong commitment to the task whether they are beside or on the stage..

The Mission at ÅF Industry in Norrkoping was about optimizing bulk data handling while importing process tag types from their construction database into the Process Controlled System of type Siemens PCS7.I found three different methods to solve the task.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar idrottslärares motivation i arbetet samt hur de ser på motivation i arbetslivet. Vi har utgått ifrån fyra frågeställningar som handlar om vilken uppfattning idrottslärare har kring motivation, vad motivation innebär för idrottslärare i arbetet, vilka hinder det finns för idrottslärares motivation samt hur idrottslärare ser på att upprätthålla sin motivation.

Idrottslärarna är mellan 30-65 år gamla med olika lång arbetserfarenhet.Vårt resultat visar att idrottslärare definierar begreppet motivation som en inre drivkraft och något som de brinner för. Idrottslärarna ser motivation som ett positivt begrepp.
