(2025) PSYK12 20242Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in Swedish employees’ expectations of employers with regard to their age, gender, ethnicity and level of education. The study’s questions were 1) Are there differences among Swedish employees’ perceived expectations of employers with regard to a) generation, b) gender, c) ethnicity, and d) level of education? And 2) Are there interactions between the factors above and employees’ expectations of employers? The survey was conducted using an online survey of the EmpAt scale translated from English to Swedish, which was sent out to participants based on a convenience sample and a snowball sample. The results of the study showed significant differences in expectations between Generation X... (More)

And 2) Are there interactions between the factors above and employees’ expectations of employers? The survey was conducted using an online survey of the EmpAt scale translated from English to Swedish, which was sent out to participants based on a convenience sample and a snowball sample. The results of the study showed significant differences in expectations between Generation X + Baby Boomers and Generation Y, where Generation X + Baby Boomers had higher expectations of their employers. Differences were also shown between men and women, where women had higher expectations of their employers than men. When looking at interaction effects between gender and generations it was shown that both groups had a main effect, but no significant interaction effect. In the remaining groups, no significant differences or interactions were found. The validity of the study may have been affected by the translation of the EmpAt scale from English to Swedish as well as a lack of diversity in the collected data for age, ethnicity, and level of education. The results of the study can be used as a guide for future research that examines employees’ expectations of employers. (Less)
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka skillnader i svenska arbetstagares förväntningar gentemot deras arbetsgivare med hänsyn till deras generation, kön, etnicitet och utbildningsnivå. Studiens frågeställningar var 1) Finns det skillnader bland svenska arbetstagares upplevda förväntningar på arbetsgivare med avseende på a) generation b) kön c) etnicitet och d) utbildningsnivå? Och 2) Finns det interaktionseffekter mellan ovanstående faktorer med arbetstagares förväntningar på arbetsgivare? Undersökningen gjordes med användning av EmpAt-skalan som översattes från engelska till svenska och skickades ut till deltagarna genom bekvämlighetsurval och snöbollsurval.

- Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka skillnader i svenska arbetstagares förväntningar gentemot deras arbetsgivare med hänsyn till deras generation, kön, etnicitet och utbildningsnivå. Studiens frågeställningar var 1) Finns det skillnader bland svenska arbetstagares upplevda förväntningar på arbetsgivare med avseende på a) generation b) kön c) etnicitet och d) utbildningsnivå? Och 2) Finns det interaktionseffekter mellan ovanstående faktorer med arbetstagares förväntningar på arbetsgivare? Undersökningen gjordes med användning av EmpAt-skalan som översattes från engelska till svenska och skickades ut till deltagarna genom bekvämlighetsurval och snöbollsurval. Studiens resultat visade på signifikanta skillnader i förväntningar mellan generation generation X + Baby boomers och generation Y, där generation X + Baby boomers hade högre förväntningar på sina arbetsgivare jämfört med generation Y. Resultatet visade också på skillnader mellan kvinnor och män, där kvinnor hade högre förväntningar på sina arbetsgivare jämfört med män. Vid undersökning om interaktionseffekter mellan kön och generationer visades båda grupper ha en huvudeffekt, men ingen signifikant interaktionseffekt. I resterande grupper hittades inga signifikanta skillnader eller interaktioner mellan individers underliggande faktorer och deras förväntningar på arbetsgivare. Studiens validitet kan ha minskat på grund av översättningen av EmpAt-skalan från engelska till svenska samt bristande mångfald i insamlad data för ålder, etnicitet och utbildningsnivå. Studiens resultat kan användas som vägledning för framtida forskning som undersöker förväntningar mellan arbetstagare och arbetsgivare. (Less)
