(2019) PSYK11 20182Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Följande studie syftade till att undersöka om det finns en skillnad inom psykologisk empowerment mellan olika yrkesgrupper på ett internationellt bilföretag, som i denna studie refererades till som Bilföretaget AB. Studien utredde hur de potentiella skillnaderna såg ut och kunde förstås. Genom en blandad metod bestående av enkätundersökning och semistrukturerade intervjuer framkom vissa signifikanta skillnader inom olika dimensioner av empowerment mellan olika yrkesgrupper på företaget. Resultatet visade skillnader mellan arbetare och tjänstemän inom upplevd mening, mellan chefer och medarbetare i en känsla av påverkan samt mellan två verkstadsdelar inom upplevd kompetens. Intervjupersonerna beskrev skillnaderna som kopplade till bland... (More)

Intervjupersonerna beskrev skillnaderna som kopplade till bland annat olika stor tillgång till stöd och information. Avslutningsvis diskuterades resultaten utifrån tidigare teorier och hur dessa kan tillämpas på Bilföretaget AB, samt inspirera andra organisationer. (Less)

- The following study aimed to examine the potential difference within psychological empowerment between occupational groups at an international car company, in this study referred to as Bilföretaget AB.

The interviewed subjects described the differences as closely connected to uneven possibilities to gain support and access information. In conclusion, the results were discussed with outset from previous theories, including how these results can be applied on Bilföretaget AB, and inspire other organizations. (Less)
