Komplext och omväxlande med roller som kolliderar. En kvalitativ studie om högstadielärares upplevda arbetsmotivation.
(2018) PSYK11 20181Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Syftet med studien var att utifrån en kvalitativ ansats undersöka högstadielärares motivation i deras dagliga arbete. I undersökningen har lärarna fått reflektera och berätta om sin självupplevda motivation, hur de upplever sina arbetsuppgifter och hur deras yrke påverkar dem personligen. Undersökningen har gett en djup bild av lärarnas egna upplevelser av sin arbetssituation. Genom semistrukturerade intervjuer har sex lärare bidragit till studien. Lärarna undervisar i olika ämnen och har olika lång arbetslivserfarenhet. De valdes ut genom ett bekvämlighets- respektive snöbollsurval och kommer från tre olika skolor i Malmö med omnejd. Resultatet av undersökningen visade att faktorer som lärarna upplever påverkar sin arbetsmotivation bland... (More)

Resultatet av undersökningen visade att faktorer som lärarna upplever påverkar sin arbetsmotivation bland annat är stöd från kollegor och ledning samt det sociala ansvaret för elevernas utveckling. Lärarna upplever också att de har för mycket administrativ tid vilket sker på bekostnad av undervisningen. Lärarna i studien upplever överlag att de har tillräckligt med förutsättningar för att trivas och prestera men att det samtidigt finns ett behov av statushöjning och större satsning på läraryrket generellt.

- Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to examine motivation of high school teachers in their daily work. The teachers in the study have been given an opportunity to reflect and describe their work motivation, how they experience their work and how their profession affects them personally.

They were chosen by a comfort- and snowball sample and come from three different schools in Malmö and surroundings. The teachers work with various subjects and have different length of working experience. The results showed that the greatest motivational factors include support from... (More)

The teachers work with various subjects and have different length of working experience. The results showed that the greatest motivational factors include support from colleagues and management as well as social responsibility for the students’ personal development. The teachers also felt that they have too much administrative duties, which is at the expense of teaching. The teachers in the study find that they have enough opportunities to thrive and perform, but at the same time there is a need for improvement of the teaching profession in general. (Less)
