- Abstract
- The onboarding process exists to help new employees to be introduced to the workplace, work tools, corporate culture and colleagues in a compliant and structured way. This study examined the onboarding process at a small to medium-sized company in a large city in Sweden, in relation to the employees' experiences of it. The purpose of the study was to answer the research question "In what ways does the onboarding process provide conditions for the individual to experience continued work motivation, learning and a sense of belonging?". The study was conducted through qualitative semi-structured interviews using phenomenological methodology. The participants in the study were two experienced human resource managers, and six employees who have... (More)

The purpose of the study was to answer the research question "In what ways does the onboarding process provide conditions for the individual to experience continued work motivation, learning and a sense of belonging?". The study was conducted through qualitative semi-structured interviews using phenomenological methodology. The participants in the study were two experienced human resource managers, and six employees who have been employed in the past year in a mid-sized IT service company. To answer the research question, theories such as the self-determination theory, motivation and onboarding theories were used. The results show that the onboarding process as a whole lacks congruence with the employees' experiences and their perception of the onboarding process and its goals. The results also showed clear differences in how the human resource managers described the onboarding process' approach to socialization and belonging, and how it was actually experienced by the new employees. The results and discussion show how the onboarding process can be developed, improved and implemented in ways that optimize the new employees' opportunities for continued work motivation, learning and a sense of belonging.

- Onboardingprocessen finns till för att nyanställda ska introduceras till
arbetsplatsen, arbetsverktygen, företagskulturen samt kollegorna på ett följsamt och strukturerat vis. Denna studie undersökte onboardingprocessen på ett litet- medelstort företag i en storstad i Sverige, i relation till medarbetarnas upplevelser av den. Syftet med studien var att besvara forskningsfrågan “På vilka sätt ger onboardingprocessen förutsättningar för individen att uppleva fortsatt arbetsmotivation, lärande samt känsla av samhörighet?”. Undersökningen genomfördes genom kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med en fenomenologisk metod. Deltagarna i studien var två erfarna human resource chefer, och sex medarbetare som hade blivit anställda under det...

arbetsplatsen, arbetsverktygen, företagskulturen samt kollegorna på ett följsamt och strukturerat vis. Denna studie undersökte onboardingprocessen på ett litet- medelstort företag i en storstad i Sverige, i relation till medarbetarnas upplevelser av den. Syftet med studien var att besvara forskningsfrågan “På vilka sätt ger onboardingprocessen förutsättningar för individen att uppleva fortsatt arbetsmotivation, lärande samt känsla av samhörighet?”. Undersökningen genomfördes genom kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med en fenomenologisk metod. Deltagarna i studien var två erfarna human resource chefer, och sex medarbetare som hade blivit anställda under det senaste året i ett medelstort IT-företag. För att besvara frågeställningen användes teorier som self-determination theory, motivations- samt onboardings-teorier. Resultaten visar att onboardingprocessen som helhet saknar kongruens med medarbetarnas upplevelser och deras uppfattning om onboardingprocessen och dess mål. Resultaten visade även tydliga skillnader i hur human resource cheferna beskrev onboardingprocessens upplägg gällande socialisation och samhörighet, och hur det upplevdes av de nyanställda. Resultaten och diskussionen visar på hur onboardingprocessen kan utvecklas, förbättras samt implementeras på sätt som optimerar de nyanställdas möjligheter till fortsatt arbetsmotivation, lärande samt känsla av samhörighet.
