Konsulters upplevelser av den flexibla arbetsmiljön: om organisatoriskt engagemang och inre motivation i bemanningsbranschen
(2012) PSYK01 20112Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to examine the experience of different dimensions for the staffing industries and its flexible working environment as it relates to organizational commitment and internal motivation. Furthermore, the aim was to study the relationship between organizational commitment and internal motivation and which of the eight dimensions that most strongly predicts them. An online survey was answered by 50 consultants at a Swedish agency in the Skåne region. The results showed that six of the eight dimensions; predictability one month in advance, role clarity, support from manager, support from colleagues, positive challenges at work and control of decisions were statistically positive correlated with organizational...

An online survey was answered by 50 consultants at a Swedish agency in the Skåne region. The results showed that six of the eight dimensions; predictability one month in advance, role clarity, support from manager, support from colleagues, positive challenges at work and control of decisions were statistically positive correlated with organizational commitment. The two dimensions not significantly correlated with organizational commitment were preference for challenges and role conflict. Only one dimension, preference for challenges, had a statistical positive relationship with internal motivation. Organizational commitment and internal motivation had a slight positive correlation. All significant dimensions were included in a standard multiple regression analysis which revealed that control of decisions and role clarity were the strongest predictors for organizational commitment. No regression analysis was conducted for internal motivation. The discussion was based on the results about whether the staffing industries flexible working arrangements was the reason for the results that went against previous research done in this area, and the need for future research.

- Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om upplevelsen av olika dimensionerna av bemanningsbranschens flexibla arbetsmiljö var relaterade till organisatoriskt engagemang och inre motivation. Vidare var syftet att studera relationen mellan organisatoriskt engagemang och inre motivation samt vilka dimensioner som starkast predicerar dessa. En enkät skickades ut på internet och besvarades av 50 konsulter på ett svenskt bemanningsföretag i region Skåne. Resultaten visade på att sex av åtta dimensioner; förutsägbarhet en månad i förväg, rolltydlighet, stöd från chefen, stöd från arbetskamrater, positiva utmaningar i arbetet och kontroll av beslut hade ett statistiskt positivt samband med organisatoriskt engagemang. De två dimensioner som inte... (More)

De två dimensioner som inte korrelerade signifikant med organisatoriskt engagemang var preferens för utmaningar och rollkonflikt. Endast en dimension, preferens för utmaningar, hade ett signifikant positivt samband med inre motivation. Organisatoriskt engagemang och inre motivation hade en svag positiv korrelation. Samtliga signifikanta dimensioner inkluderades i en standard multipel regressionsanalys som visade att kontroll av beslut och rolltydlighet var de starkaste prediktorerna för organisatoriskt engagemang. Ingen regressionsanalys gjordes för inre motivation. Baserat på resultaten diskuterades huruvida det är bemanningsbranschens flexibla arbetsvillkor som var anledningen till att resultatet gick emot tidigare forskning som gjorts på området, samt behovet av framtida forskning inom området.
