Abstract
The present study focused on the quality of interactions based on the goal of promoting a psychologically healthy workplace. Using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and its constructs, the purpose was to investigate the cognitive conditions that precede inclusive behavior and which of these constructs that are the most important. Inclusive behavior is defined as a prosocial behavior category and three example behaviors was used to represent it in the study. A pilot survey was conducted in which beliefs about inclusive behavior were explored within the population. The beliefs formed a basis for the measurements of the construct in the TPB that were included in the study's main survey. The main survey was sent via email to employees of... (More)

The beliefs formed a basis for the measurements of the construct in the TPB that were included in the study's main survey. The main survey was sent via email to employees of Swedish media companies. The survey responses were analyzed using correlations and a multiple regression analysis. The result showed that injunctive norm, attitude and perceived control can be used individually to predict the intention for inclusive behavior. When all predictor variables were used together in a multiple regression, the injunctive norm proved to be the construct that could most successfully predict the intention for inclusive behavior. Finally, limitations are discussed for using uniquely explained variance to assess which constructs are most important for predicting intention. (Less)
Abstract (Swedish)
Utifrån målet att främja psykosocialt hälsosamma arbetsplatser, riktades fokus mot interaktioners kvalitet. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att, med hjälp av the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) och dess konstrukt, undersöka de kognitiva förutsättningar som ligger till grund för inkluderande beteenden samt vilka av dessa konstrukt som var mest betydande. Inkluderande beteenden definierades som en prosocial beteendekategori och utgjordes i studien av tre exempelbeteenden. En pilotenkät genomfördes där föreställningar angående inkluderande beteenden utforskades inom populationen. Föreställningarna utgjorde en grund för måtten av konstrukten i TPB som inkluderades i studiens huvudenkät. Huvudenkäten skickades via mail till anställda på... (More)

Inkluderande beteenden definierades som en prosocial beteendekategori och utgjordes i studien av tre exempelbeteenden. En pilotenkät genomfördes där föreställningar angående inkluderande beteenden utforskades inom populationen. Föreställningarna utgjorde en grund för måtten av konstrukten i TPB som inkluderades i studiens huvudenkät. Huvudenkäten skickades via mail till anställda på svenska medieföretag. Enkätsvaren analyserades med hjälp av enskilda korrelationer och en multipel regressionsanalys. Resultatet visade att injunktiv norm, attityd och upplevd kontroll enskilt kan användas för att predicera intentionen till inkluderande beteenden. Då samtliga prediktorvariabler användes tillsammans i en multipel regression visade sig injunktiv norm vara det konstrukt som mest framgångsrikt kunde predicera intentionen till ett inkluderande beteende. Avslutningsvis diskuteras begränsningar med att använda unik förklarad varians för att bedöma vilka konstrukt som är viktigast för att predicera intention. (Less)
