The study aims to increase understanding and knowledge of motivation; this by
examining how the leader experiences her capability to promote employees' work
motivation. Also, how employees perceive that the leader influence and enhance
their work motivation. Interviews were conducted with a manager and two
employees of a government agency in Sweden. The results demonstrate different
opinions between manager and employees in the manager's ability to foster
motivation in the everyday work. The
leader thinks that she promotes her employees work positively and believes that
she is giving her employees attention and appreciation. Employees mean that
they lack feedback and pep talk in their everyday work. The results showed that
employees believe that feedback and pep talk in everyday work is promoting work
motivation. The leader believes that motivation is promoted through education
and lifelong learning.
