Trivsamt eller lönsamt? En kvantitativ studie om socialt stöd och arbetstillfredsställelse på arbetsplatsen
(2025) PSYK12 20242Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Denna studie syftar till att undersöka fenomenet socialt stöd och huruvida det har en inverkan på den upplevda arbetstillfredsställelsen hos kontorsmedarbetare inom den privata sektorn. Studien tar även hänsyn till andra eventuella faktorer som främst lön men även kön. Variablerna mättes genom en webbenkät (N=78) och de statistiska analyserna genomfördes genom korrelationer och multipel regression. Resultatet visade ett signifikant samband mellan främst socialt stöd och arbetstillfredsställelse men även ett svagare mellan lön och arbetstillfredsställelse. Studien fann även att socialt stöd är den variabel som bäst predicerar arbetstillfredsställelse, vilket tyder på en koppling mellan det sociala stöd en medarbetare får och dennes upplevda... (More)
- Denna studie syftar till att undersöka fenomenet socialt stöd och huruvida det har en inverkan på den upplevda arbetstillfredsställelsen hos kontorsmedarbetare inom den privata sektorn.

Resultatet visade ett signifikant samband mellan främst socialt stöd och arbetstillfredsställelse men även ett svagare mellan lön och arbetstillfredsställelse. Studien fann även att socialt stöd är den variabel som bäst predicerar arbetstillfredsställelse, vilket tyder på en koppling mellan det sociala stöd en medarbetare får och dennes upplevda arbetstillfredsställelse. Vidare indikerar resultatet att både socialt stöd och lön har en huvudeffekt på arbetstillfredsställelse, medan kön inte har någon alls påvisad effekt. Resultatet visade inte heller någon interaktion mellan prediktionsvariablerna. Slutsatsen som kan dras från studien är att socialt stöd har en relation till hur tillfredsställda kontorsmedarbetare i den privata sektorn känner sig i sitt arbete, samt att lön är en mindre betydande, men likväl, bidragande faktor.

- Abstract
- This study aims to examine the phenomenon of social support and whether it relates to the perceived job satisfaction of white collar workers in the private sector. The study also considers other potential influencing factors, salary and gender. The variables were measured through a web-based survey (N=78) and statistical analyses were conducted using correlations and multiple regression. The results showed a significant relationship primarily between social support and job satisfaction, as well as a weaker relationship between salary and job satisfaction. The study also found that social support is the variable that best significantly predicts job satisfaction, suggesting a link between the type of social support an employee receives and... (More)

The results showed a significant relationship primarily between social support and job satisfaction, as well as a weaker relationship between salary and job satisfaction. The study also found that social support is the variable that best significantly predicts job satisfaction, suggesting a link between the type of social support an employee receives and their perceived job satisfaction. Furthermore, the results indicate that both social support and salary have a main effect on job satisfaction, whilst gender does not. The results do not show any interaction between the predictor variables. The conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that social support plays a role in how satisfied white collar employees feel with their work, and that salary is a less considerable, nevertheless, contributing factor.
