The aim of this study was to investigate a health intervention at a Swedish telecom company, with regards to behavioral, cognitive and somatic stress, experienced health, and absence due to illness. A further aim was to investigate the employees' perceptions regarding the health intervention. Questionnaires were collected from 139 employees at the customer service departments.Results indicated that the health activity Bowling to some extent could predict lower behavioral stress. However, the most important predictors of stress and perceived health were lack of meaningfulness and quantitative demands. Lack of meaningfulness was also a predictor of absence due to illness.

Studien syftade till att undersöka om det finns samband mellan conscientiousness, Locus of Control och arbetsmotivation samt om ålder och anställningslängd predicerar en del av ar-betsmotivation. Studien omfattade 63 anställda (28 kvinnor och 35 män) på ett telekommuni-kationsföretag i Sverige. För att studera conscientiousness användes ett egenformulerat test med god intern homogenitet, Cronbachs alfa = 0,85. För att mäta Locus of Control och ar-betsmotivation användes redan konstruerade test med god validitet och reliabilitet, skapade av Rotter (1966) och Cammann, Fichman, Jenkins och Klesh (i Bowling & Hammond 2008). I den statistiska prövningen användes både bivariat korrelation i form av Spearmans rho och MRA-standard och hierarkisk.

Detta examensarbete är en kvantitativ attitydundersökning på gymnasieskolan om könsuppdelningen inom idrott och dess koppling till värderingar i såväl skola som övriga samhället.Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka hur gymnasieelever och lärare förhåller sig och tänker om idrott och kön och utifrån det formulera didaktiska ställningstaganden i lärarrollen.Informationen samlades in med hjälp av en tresidig enkät med 25 ettvalsfrågor och 3 öppna frågor på fyra olika gymnasieskolor i Mellansverige. Totalt svarade 234 personer på enkäten varav 220 elever och 14 lärare.Enkätresultatet indikerar att könsuppdelningen inom idrott delvis saknar grund dvs. den är inte bara prestationsmässigt motiverad utan också ett uttryck ? och ett starkt fäste ? för genussystemet i samhället. Det indikerar också att majoriteten av både män och kvinnor anser att kvinnor och män kan tävla tillsammans i golf, skytte, ridsport, curling, Bowling, bordtennis, tennis, biljard, skidor, gymnastik, motorsport, schack, segling, slalom och bågskytte.Utifrån detta gör författaren det didaktiska ställningstagandet:Det är viktigt att inte glömma bort eller osynliggöra idrotten när man pratar om genus och jämställdhet.
