The aim with this case study is to explain the motivation that eldercare staff experience towards their workplace. To undertake this case study, a quantity method involving questionnaires was used. The questionnaires were handed out at 4 strategically chosen eldercare homes in two different communes, where one eldercare home in each commune had a private principle and one had a commune principal. The case study revealed that the three most fundamental motivational factors for the respondents were: 1. The residents themselves 2. Enjoyable work activities 3. The colleagues. We have analyzed which needs in Maslows ‘Hierarchy of Needs’ these motivational facts meet. In the case study it was also evident that the respondents who considered changing their work commonly felt no appreciation for the work activities they perform, they also feel a lack of new knowledge are being developed, they feel unable to influence any organizational changes that concern their work environment and furthermore a broad feeling of unacceptable time pressure on their work activities compared with those colleagues who does not consider changing work. These results have been analyzed through the Human Resource perspective. (Less)
