Kan self-efficacy, socialt stöd och stress förutsäga arbetstillfredsställelse? - En korrelationsstudie.
(2019) PSYK11 20191Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- Job satisfaction has long been a popular topic in previous research and it has been shown that job satisfaction correlates with many different constructs such as self- efficacy, social support and stress. Therefore, the study aimed at examine how much employees’ self-efficacy, experience of social support and stress together predicted job satisfaction. The aim was also to examine whether self-efficacy, social support and stress had individual relationships with job satisfaction. The study was constructed after a cross sectional survey design and the data was collected through a digital survey. The survey was answered by 77 employees either of contacted companies, or who answered the survey via a link on Facebook. The majority of the... (More)

The majority of the results did not show any significant correlations between the dependent variables and the independent variable. Exception for this was the correlation between social support from supervisor and job satisfaction. Thus, the study’s result did not confirm the hypothesis with one exception. The exception was the second hypothesis which was partially confirmed since social support from supervisor correlated with job satisfaction. Possible reasons to the results’ inconsistency with the hypothesis and previous research were discussed. One of the conclusions that were made were that the study with its limitations and within the context in which it took place, cannot tell anything about a prediction of job satisfaction. All data were not normally distributed and the majority of the independent variables showed no correlation to job satisfaction and therefore a regression analysis could not be accomplished. (Less)
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Arbetstillfredsställelse har under lång tid varit ett omtalat ämne inom forskning och det har visat sig att arbetstillfredsställelse korrelerar med många olika konstrukt, såsom self-efficacy, socialt stöd och stress. Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur mycket self-efficacy, upplevelsen av socialt stöd och stress tillsammans predicerade arbetande personers arbetstillfredsställelse. Syftet var även att undersöka om self- efficacy, socialt stöd respektive stress hade enskilda samband med arbetstillfredsställelse. Studien var konstruerad som en tvärsnittstudie och datainsamlingen skedde genom en digital enkät. Enkäten besvarades av 77 anställda som antingen var anställda på den kontaktade organisationen, eller som besvarade enkäten via en... (More)
- Arbetstillfredsställelse har under lång tid varit ett omtalat ämne inom forskning och det har visat sig att arbetstillfredsställelse korrelerar med många olika konstrukt, såsom self-efficacy, socialt stöd och stress. Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur mycket self-efficacy, upplevelsen av socialt stöd och stress tillsammans predicerade arbetande personers arbetstillfredsställelse. Syftet var även att undersöka om self- efficacy, socialt stöd respektive stress hade enskilda samband med arbetstillfredsställelse. Studien var konstruerad som en tvärsnittstudie och datainsamlingen skedde genom en digital enkät. Enkäten besvarades av 77 anställda som antingen var anställda på den kontaktade organisationen, eller som besvarade enkäten via en länk på Facebook. Majoriteten av resultatet visade inga signifikanta samband mellan de oberoende variablerna och den beroende variabeln. Undantaget var sambandet mellan socialt stöd från chefer och arbetstillfredsställelse. Studiens resultat bekräftade således ingen av hypoteserna förutom hypotes två som till vis del bekräftades då socialt stöd från chefer hade ett samband med arbetstillfredsställelse. Möjliga orsaker till att resultatet inte gick i linje med hypoteserna eller tidigare forskning diskuteras. En slutsats som gjordes var att den aktuella studien med dess begränsningar och inom den kontext som den utspelar sig i, inte kan säga något om en prediktion av arbetstillfredsställelse. All data var inte normalfördelad och majoriteten av de oberoende variablerna visade inga samband till arbetstillfredsställelse och därför kunde en regressionsanalys inte genomföras. (Less)
