- Abstract
- The aim of this study was to examine which factors motivate university students at a future workplace. By using a quantitative research method, data was collected through a paper survey, where the research tool consisted of a self-assessment questionnaire. The survey was constructed on the basis of investigating work motivation from two perspectives, following economic factors and work characteristics. The results revealed that there was a trend among participants to evaluate Feedback and Skill Variety work characteristics highly, where the predominant number of significance tests showed significant results. In addition, a pattern could be interpreted among the economic motivational factors in the study. Economic factors regarding a fair... (More)

In addition, a pattern could be interpreted among the economic motivational factors in the study. Economic factors regarding a fair wage were proven to be essential among the participants, where all significance tests unanimously produced a significant result. Stable income was another economic factor that was highly valued in the survey, where one of two tests showed significance. However, as the survey results showed a relatively large variance in terms of the responses, it can thus also be concluded that work motivation can be seen as something strongly linked to the individual.

- Denna studie ämnade att studera vilka faktorer som främst motiverar universitetsstudenter på en framtida arbetsplats. Undersökningen utgick från en kvantitativ metod, där en fysisk pappersenkät användes för insamling av data. Enkäten var uppbyggd utifrån att dels undersöka arbetsmotivation i form av ekonomiska faktorer, men även arbetsegenskaper. I studien mättes åtta ekonomiska faktorer och fyra arbetsegenskaper. Sammantaget visade enkätstudien att det fanns en trend bland deltagarna att värdera arbetsegenskaperna Feedback och Skill Variety högt, där övervägande antal signifikanstest visade på signifikanta resultat. Ekonomiska faktorer rörande en rättvis lönesättning, visades även betydelsefulla bland deltagarna, där alla... (More)

Sammantaget visade enkätstudien att det fanns en trend bland deltagarna att värdera arbetsegenskaperna Feedback och Skill Variety högt, där övervägande antal signifikanstest visade på signifikanta resultat. Ekonomiska faktorer rörande en rättvis lönesättning, visades även betydelsefulla bland deltagarna, där alla signifikansprövningar enhälligt gav ett signifikant resultat. Stabil inkomst var ytterligare en ekonomisk motivationsfaktor som var högt värderad i enkäten, där ett av två test påvisade signifikans. Emellertid, visade enkätsvaren i sin helhet även på en relativt stor varians, där en slutsats drogs att motivationsfaktorer i arbetet till stor del kan ses som något starkt kopplat till den enskilda individen.
