Ohövligt beteende på arbetsplatsen i relation till arbetsengagemang och psykologisk trygghet hos blåljuspersonal
(2022) PSYK11 20212Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka om, och i vilken utsträckning, ohövligt beteende tar sig uttryck hos blåljuspersonal i en svensk kontext. Studien ämnade även att undersöka förekomst av psykologisk trygghet samt grad av arbetsengagemang hos blåljuspersonal, och vidare om ohövligt beteende har något samband med hur arbetssituationen upplevs utifrån dessa variabler. Detta för att bidra med kunskap om hur ohövligt betende kan yttra sig och påverka en i ens arbetsroll som polis eller brandman där arbete i grupp utgör en central roll. Undersökningen utgjordes av en tvärsnittsstudie med en kvantitativ datainsamling, vilket innebär att inga orsakssamband undersöktes. Enkäten bestod av fyra demografiska frågor samt tre validerade...

Detta för att bidra med kunskap om hur ohövligt betende kan yttra sig och påverka en i ens arbetsroll som polis eller brandman där arbete i grupp utgör en central roll. Undersökningen utgjordes av en tvärsnittsstudie med en kvantitativ datainsamling, vilket innebär att inga orsakssamband undersöktes. Enkäten bestod av fyra demografiska frågor samt tre validerade frågeformulär: Workplace Incivility Scale (WIS), Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9) och Team Psychological Safety Survey. Enkäten distribuerades digitalt och urvalet bestod vidare av 64 deltagare, varav 2 var kvinnor och 62 var män. Majoriteten av deltagarna var mellan 36-45 år. Resultatet visade att blåljuspersonal upplever låg grad av ohövligt beteende på arbetet (median = 0.57, q1 = 0.14, q3 = 1.0), hög nivå av arbetsengagemang (median = 4.78, q1 = 3.53, q3 = 5.11) och att det föreligger en hög förekomst av psykologisk trygghet (81.3 %). Resultatet visade även en signifikant negativ korrelation mellan ohövligt beteende och arbetsengagemang (rho = -0.569, p = <.001), och en signifikant negativ korrelation mellan ohövligt beteende och psykologisk trygghet (rho = -0.392, p = 0.001). Detta belyser att frånvaron av ohövliga beteenden på arbetsplatsen kan innebära ökat arbetsengagemang och en högre förekomst av psykologisk trygghet bland medarbetarna. (Less)
- Abstract
- The study aimed to investigate how workplace incivility takes place among policemen and firemen in Sweden. The study also intended to investigate the presence of psychological safety and level of work engagement among policemen and firemen, and further if workplace incivility correlates with the experience of their work situation based on these variables. This in order to contribute with knowledge about how workplace incivility can take place and affect one in their work role as a police or fireman. The survey is designed as a cross-sectional study with quantitative data collection which means that no causal relationships can be determined. The survey consisted of four demographic questions as well as three validated questionnaires:... (More)

The survey was distributed electronically and consisted of 64 participants, of which 2 were women and 62 were men. The majority of the participants were between 36-45 years old. The result showed that policemen and firemen experience low degree of workplace incivility (median = 0.57, q1 = 0.14, q3= 1.0), high level of work engagement (median = 4.78, q1 = 3.53, q3 = 5.11) and that there is a high prevalence of psychological safety (81,3 %). The result also showed a significant negative correlation between workplace incivility and work engagement (rho = -0.569, p = <.001), and a significant negative correlation between workplace incivility and psychological safety (rho = -0.392, p = 0.001). This demonstrates how the absence of workplace incivility can imply higher levels of work engagement and higher presence of psychological safety among the employees. (Less)
