Abstract (Swedish)
Undersökningen studerar sambandet mellan employee engagement och empowerment, samt hur styrkan i detta samband kan bero på ålder. Studien innefattar en internetbaserad surveyundersökning där urvalet begränsas till tjänstemän inom den offentliga sektorn. Enkäten innehåller frågor rörande individens upplevda arbetssituation. Analysen visar en positiv korrelation mellan de två variablerna, r = .705, n = 129, p < .01. Värdena för pearson korrelation koefficient (r) mellan angivna ålderskategorier visar att den yngre kategorin (20-39) uppmäter ett svagare samband, r = .604, n = 41, p < .01, än den äldre kategorin (40-50+), r = .739, n = 88, < .01. Undersökningen bidrar till en fördjupad förståelse inom området samt ett tydliggörande av... (More)

Undersökningen bidrar till en fördjupad förståelse inom området samt ett tydliggörande av relevanta element inom arbetsrelaterad motivation. Insikterna kan bland annat nyttjas i utformandet av organisatoriska strategier. (Less)
Abstract
The research examines the relation between employee engagement and empowerment, and how the strength of this relationship is affected by age. The research includes an internet-based survey to a sample of civil servants in the public sector. The survey consists of questions related to the individual's perceived work-situation. The analysis shows a positive correlation between the two variables, r = .705, n = 129, p < .01. The values for pearson correlation coefficient ( r ) between constructed age categories shows a weaker relationship in the younger category (20-39), r = .604, n = 41 , p < .01, than in the older category (40-50 +), r = . 739, n = 88, < .01.
