The purpose of this thesis is to measure the importance of different factors that contribute to employer attractiveness among students. Further, its purpose is to measure how those same students perceive a case company, Ramböll, relating to those same factors. The method used
to satisfy this purpose is a quantitative survey among Swedish civil engineering students at three Swedish universities, Uppsala Tekniska Högskola, Luleå Tekniska Högskola and Chalmers Tekniska Högskola. The survey got a response rate of 19% and the results show that the majority of the respondents think that factors such as learning opportunities, self development and independence are most important for employer attractiveness. Further, the respondents perceives Ramböll as a company that offers challenging and interesting tasks, but does not offer high salaries and is not a high status organisation.

O presente trabalho de pesquisa visa a estudar aspectos referentes às
inclinações de carreira e suas relações com o alinhamento de valores dos
empregados, considerando os valores da instituição empregadora. Para a
realização de tal estudo foi elaborado um questionário, composto de 89 perguntas,
que foi desenhado com o auxílio do software Qualtrics. Para o levantamento dos
valores, foi utilizado o Inventário de Valores elaborado por Rokeach (1973),
composto de 36 valores individuais. No que se refere à identificação das âncoras
de carreira dos empregados, foi utilizado o instrumento elaborado por Schein
(1993), composto de 40 itens, denominado Inventário das Orientações de Carreira.
Tal questionário foi enviado por e-mail para os profissionais que participam de
um grupo de discussões, composto por empregados de uma instituição pública do
ramo financeiro com sede na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Considerando os 231
questionários válidos, por meio de tratamento de dados, realizado com o auxílio
do software SPSS, foi possível levantar os valores individuais e identificar as
âncoras de carreira mais proeminentes para os empregados desta instituição
pública. A presente pesquisa possibilitou, ainda, a obtenção de subsídios para a
elaboração de Políticas de Recursos Humanos. As ações sugeridas na referida
política têm o intuito de aumentar o alinhamento dos valores individuais dos
empregados, considerando os valores da instituição pública empregadora, com
vistas a aumentar a satisfação desses, o que pode vir a trazer, como consequência,
melhora no desempenho desta última.The present research aims to study the aspects related to the career preferences and their relationship with the alignment of employees values, considering the values of their employer. To carry out this study a questionnaire, consisting of 89 questions, was designed using the software Qualtrics. For the survey of the values, the Rokeach Value Survey, which was developed by Rokeach (1973), was used. This survey consists of 36 individual values. As regards the identification of the career anchors of the employees, the instrument developed by Schein (1993), composed of 40 items, called Career Anchors Self- Assessment, was used. The questionnaire was sent by email to the professionals who take part in a discussion group, composed of employees of a public institution of the financial sector, which is based in Rio de Janeiro. Considering the 231 valid questionnaires, through data processing, performed by SPSS software, it was possible to identify the individual values and the most important career anchors for the employees of that public institution. This research also resulted in obtaining information for the development of Human Resources Police. The actions suggested in that Police are intended to increase the alignment of the individual values of the employees, taking into account the values of the referred public institution, in order to increase the satisfaction of the former, which might bring, as a consequence, improves in the performance of the latter.

I det moderna samhället är arbetet inte längre enbart en inkomstkälla utan ett verktyg för självförverkligande. Ur de anställdas perspektiv är företagens attraktivitet, sociala värden, ekonomiska fördelar och utvecklingsmöjligheter viktiga aspekter som tas i beaktning när man söker sig till ett företag och därför betydelsefulla för företagen att efterleva. Uppsatsens teoretiska referensram sätter därför arbetsgivarlöftet och vikten av att det följs i centrum. Vi har funnit ett flertal forskningsstudier relaterade till arbetsgivarlöften, som genomförts inom olika branscher, men saknar undersökningar i textilbranschen där vi ser flera anledningar till varför det skulle vara aktuellt. Studiens syfte är därför att undersöka preferenser bland anställda inom funktionerna inköp och design på företag inom textilbranschen och se hur väl dessa uppnås för att kunna dra slutsatser om förbättringsområden. Samtidigt vill vi se hur stor inverkan den geografiska platsen har och hur benägna de anställda är att yttra sig om arbetsplatsrelaterad information på sociala medier. Studien har genomförts med en kvantitativ ansats, där datainsamling skett genom webbenkäter via bekvämlighet- och snöbollsurval för att nå ut till relevanta personer. Enkäten samlade in åsikter från drygt 23 % av urvalsramen. Av dessa hade nästan 84 % en eftergymnasial utbildning och 30 % hade varit anställda i över 5 år, vilket bekräftar att deltagarna besitter erfarenhet och kompetens som är värdefull för arbetsgivarna. Sociala värden var absolut viktigast för respondenterna i vår undersökning och att ha en god relation till kollegor och chefer toppade listan. En härlig och kul stämning på arbetsplatsen kom inte långt därefter. Lyckligtvis är det också en känsla av tillhörighet som arbetsgivarna lyckas uppfylla bäst. 65 % anger betyget 7 eller högre på hur nöjda de är med sin arbetssituation. Det finns dock utrymme för förbättring, speciellt när det kommer till faktorer som lön, förmåner och självbildskongruens. Resultatet visade att arbetsorten i sig inte var anmärkningsvärt viktig och så länge arbetet är meriterande behöver inte arbetsplatsen ligga i en storstad. Studiens deltagare anger att de är aktiva på sociala medier, men få av dem uttrycker sig positivt eller negativt om sin arbetsgivare via dessa plattformar i dagsläget. Här ser vi ett potentiellt förbättringsområde när det kommer till att få de anställda att bli varumärkesambassadörer för företagets employer brand.In modern society, our work is no longer just a source of income but a tool for self-realization. From the employees' perspective corporate attractiveness, social values, economic benefits and development opportunities are important aspects taken into consideration when applying for a job and therefore important for companies to acknowledge. The theoretical framework therefore puts the employer brand promise and the importance of its compliance in focus. The study aims to investigate preferences among employees in the purchasing and design functions in the textile industry, and see how well they are achieved to draw conclusions about areas for improvement. At the same time, we want to see how much influence the geographical location has and how likely the employees are to share workplace-related information on social media. The study was conducted with a quantitative approach, where data was collected through web surveys with a convenience and snowball sampling method to reach out to relevant people. The survey gathered opinions from more than 23% of the sample field. Of these, almost 84% had post-secondary education and 30% had been employed for over 5 years, which confirms that the participants possesses experience and expertise that is valuable to their employers. Social values were regarded most important and to have a good relationship with colleagues and managers was ranked as the number one preference. A fun atmosphere scored second place. Fortunately, it is also a sense of belonging that employers seem to meet the best. 65% of the respondents graded 7 or higher on job satisfaction on a scale of 1-10. However, there is room for improvement, especially when it comes to factors such as salary, benefits and self-image congruency. The result shows that the workplace location in itself was not remarkably important and as long as the job is meritorious it does not need to be situated in a big city. The study participants indicate that they are active on social media, but few of them express any positive or negative aspects about their employers on these platforms. Here we see a potential area for improvement when it comes to turning the employees into brand ambassadors for the company's employer brand. This research paper is written in Swedish.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate what millennials prefer in their future employers. Three research questions were formulated from the purpose statement: (1) what kind of values do millennials prefer in their future employers? (2) How important are values connected to CSR for millennials? And finally, (3) how do group settings influence the importance of CSR in millennials’ employer preferences? In order to understand and explore the stated purpose, literature on the subjects of millennial employer preference, the millennial labor market and the Scandinavian context are used. Furthermore, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs was used to understand the motivational psychology of employer preferences. The theoretical framework on commitment, consistency and social influence was used to examine the influence of group dynamics on CSR preferences. The data was gathered through eight semi-structured interviews and one focus group consisting of all participants from the interviews. This interview data was analyzed through a thematic analysis whilst the findings from the focus group were examined through a content analysis. The main themes that were identified that outline millennials’ preferences in a future employer were; relationships, meaningfulness, career and structure. Further results from the thematic analysis suggest that millennials who are about to enter the labor market do not regard CSR as a crucial aspect in their employer preferences. Finally, the results from the focus group hint at a disconnect between private and public opinions in relation to CSR preferences.

Employees choosing their employer rather than the employer choosing their employees have resulted in an increased interest of understanding what is requested among today's workforce. The growing generation of the labour market, Millennials, have been shown to create difficulties for organisations, in form of an increased turnover rate among them. In order to decrease the turnover rate, the purpose of this thesis is to provide a better understanding of Millennials’ preferences when choosing a company, and factors that would make them loyal. Previous theory state important factors that are affecting Millennials, but these are studies conducted in countries such as Canada, the USA, and India. Therefore, this thesis focuses on Millennials in Sweden. To gain a deeper understanding of Millennials’ preferences, semi-structured interviews, with non-standardised questions were held. To analyse the empirical data a thematic method was used. This made it easier to compare the data with previous literature. Findings suggest that relations with colleagues and managers are an important factor that affects both the choice of employer and the loyalty towards them. Moreover, psychological work environment, values, progress, and salary were mentioned as essential factors. Depending on the research question, the outcome differed.På dagens arbetsmarknad har det visat sig att anställda väljer sin arbetsgivare, istället för att arbetsgivaren väljer sina anställda, vilket har resulterat i ett ökat intresse i vad som efterfrågas bland dagens arbetskraft. Den växande generationen på arbetsmarknaden, millenniegenerationen, har visat sig skapa svårigheter för organisationer, däribland genom ökad personalomsättning. Syftet med uppsatsen är att öka förståelsen för hur denna generation väljer en arbetsgivare och vilka faktorer som skulle bidra till deras lojalitet. Tidigare forskning har påvisat viktiga faktorer som påverkar millenniegenerationen, men denna forskning är främst utförd i Kanada, USA och Indien. Därför fokuserar detta arbete på millenniegenerationen i Sverige. För att få en djupare förståelse för generationens preferenser för en arbetsgivare utfördes semistrukturerade intervjuer med icke-standardiserade frågor och analyserades med hjälp av tematisk analys. Detta underlättade arbetet i jämförelsen mellan data och tidigare forskning. Slutsatserna av analysen var att relationer med kollegor och chefer är en viktig faktor som påverkar både valet av företag, samt lojaliteten mot dessa. Utöver det var den psykologiska arbetsmiljön, värderingar, utvecklingsmöjligheter och lön viktiga faktorer. Beroende på forskningsfrågan blev innebörden olika.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine what attributes graduating students prefer when choosing their first employer after graduation.
Background: To attract good employees are becoming more and more important. Since there are over 60 000 students graduating every year from universities in Sweden, it is crucial for organizations to know how to best attract these talents. It is generally small- and medium sized companies (SMC’s) that have problem since they don’t have the resources to find information and brand themselves as good employers, and hence, large multinational companies are being ranked as the most attractive employers. If these SMC’s would know what attributes the graduate students find most important, they would be able to focus on those and more successfully attract the students suitable for their organization.
Method: In order to fulfill the purpose, an exploratory study had been made. Quantitative data was collected by a delivery and collection questionnaire, which was handed out in classes at Jönköping International Business School (JIBS) and Jönköping School of Engineering (JTH). The findings in this thesis are based on 124 graduating students preferred job attributes.
Conclusion: When looking at JIBS and JTH in total, the students find attributes relating to responsibilities and involvement in decision making to be the most important. However, when only looking at JTH, the students value job security and good relationship at the workplace over other attributes. At JIBS, graduate students are attracted to jobs where they can take responsibility and make further career advancements.

För att företag ska kunna attrahera men också bevara kompetenta medarbetare, krävs det att de har något att erbjuda sin anställda. Detta ställer krav på en medvetenhet kring de preferenser anställda besitter, både sett till deras behov och motivation. Just nu är det arbetstagarens marknad som råder och företag har i utmaning att attrahera kompetentpersonal till organisationer. Syftet med denna studie är därför att undersöka, genomekonomistudenters preferenser, vad som motiverar dem till en arbetsplats samt vad de tror skulle få dem att stanna på en arbetsplats. Även studenternas behov kartläggs och ger en förståelse för arbetsgivarens ansvar för arbetstagares jobbsituation. Resultatet av vår studie är ämnat att hjälpa arbetsgivare i näringslivet att attrahera samt bevara kompetent personal eftersom de genom vår studie vet vad som motiverar studenterna samt vad deras behov på enarbetsplats är. Då syftet med uppsatsen fokuserar på berättelser och förståelse av individers upplevelser gjordes en kvalitativ studie med en deduktiv forskningsansats. Resultatet presenteras eftersemistrukturerade intervjuer med respondenter av tio ekonomistudenter från generation Y och analyseras sedan med hjälp av teoretisk bakgrund. Teorierna som används för att tolka vårt resultat var Self-determination theory (SDT), Maslow behovshierarki och Herzbergs tvåfaktorteori för att undersöka ekonomistudenters motivation och behov i relation till arbetsplatser. Studien mynnar ut i att utvecklingsmöjligheter och trivsel på arbetsplatsen var det viktigaste för samtligarespondenter, men att det samtidigt fanns en spridning av attribut som individerna föredrog. Vi kunde bland annat se att de manliga studenterna var mer materialistiska än de kvinnliga studenterna. Resultatet av studien kan ge en förståelse av vad våra respondenter föredrar vid val av eller att stanna på en arbetsplats, vilket företag kan ta till sig samt ta hänsyn till och förhoppningsvis utvecklas och förbättras tack vare sin kompetenta personal.In order for companies to be able to attract but also retain competent employees, they must have something to offer their employees. This calls for an awareness of the preferences that employees possess, both in terms of their needs and motivation. Nowadays it is the employee’s labor market and companies are challenged to attract competent staff to their organizations. The purpose of this study is therefore to examine, through economics students ‘preferences, what motivates them to start working and what they think would make them stay at a workplace. This study will also chart the needs of the students to create a comprehension for the employer’s responsibility to its employees’ work situation. The result of this study aims to help employers in the industry to attract and also keep competent staff since they, thanks to our study, will be aware of what motivates the economics students and what their needs at a workplace are. Since the purpose of this thesis is focusing on stories and understanding we have made a qualitative study with a deductive research approach. The result will be presented through semi structured interviews with ten economics students from generation Y who are studying at University of Borås. The result will later on be interpreted using our theoretical background. The theories that are used to interpret our results are Self-determination Theory (SDT),Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and Herzberg’s Two Factor Theory to examine economics students’ motivation and needs in relation to a workplace. The study concludes that development and comfort in the workplace was the most important for all of the respondents, but there was also a spread of the attributes of what the different individuals prefered. For instance we could see that the male students were more into materialistic attributes than the female students. The result of this study can give organizations an understanding of what economics students prefer when applying for a job and to stay at a workplace, and by that they can then assimilate the results which hopefully can help them develop and improve thanks to their competent coworkers. This thesis will be given in Swedish.

Employee ownership describes the situation where employees own an equity stake in an employing organisation. Psychologists have found that employee ownership positively relates to several attitudes that contribute to organisational effectiveness, including: Organisational Commitment, Job Satisfaction, Organisational Justice, and Psychological Ownership. Contrarily, economists point out that employee owned firms exhibit reduced value maximisation compared to investor owned firms, and suggest that employee influence in decision making produces suboptimal outcomes. This thesis investigated whether the psychological effects related to employee ownership are affected by the level of employee control over the organisation. Experiment 1 investigated if individuals display differing preferences for three factors related to formal and psychological ownership: equity, control, and information, and it was found that greater levels of each factor were preferred. Experiment 2 investigated which of two types of control, operational control or governance control, were preferred for different employee ownership conditions. Higher levels of control were preferred in all cases with governance control preferred overall. Experiment 3 investigated if the preference for governance or operational control changed as the at-risk component of employee remuneration changed. As at-risk remuneration increased, greater levels of control were preferred, and perceptions of organisational justice decreased. Overall it appeared that full organisational control produces the best outcomes in terms of organisational commitment, satisfaction, organisational justice, and psychological ownership, although acceptable outcomes are still possible with decreased levels of control.

Promoting participation in EHAPs (employee health and assistance programs) by those employees most in need of health improvements is important to increasing the effectiveness of these programs. Programs which are designed to reduce perceived barriers to participation and to meet the specific needs and interests of these employees have resulted in higher participation. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the extent to which demographics and perceived health status were associated with employees preferences and perceptions of EHAPs. This was done through survey analysis of four hundred and one employees of a municipal government. It was found that there were no significant differences in employees' anticipated use of these programs based on any of the demographic or perceived health variables studied with the exception of the variable "current frequency of exercise". However, different interests in program components were apparent among the various sub-groups of employees. There were also reported differences among the sub-groups for preferred program times and facilities. There were significant differences among some of the sub-groups in reported barriers to the use of EAPs and in reported comfort in exercising with fellow workers. It was also found that current frequency of exercise was significantly related to perceived health status. From these observations, recommendations for promoting participation among these sub-groups have been made. This research has added to the understanding of the differences between the various sub-groups of employees in terms of their preferences for EHAP components and the barriers they perceive toward participating in these programs. A better understanding of these factors as they pertain to employees in other workplaces may aid in the development of programs which better meet the needs of these employees, and hence, may increase their participation in EHAPs.Education, Faculty of

Managers of organizations face increasing rates of retiring Baby Boomers as that generation begins to leave the workforce. Some managers of organizations have no formalized knowledge transfer strategies in place to reduce the lost productivity and negative financial effects of these retiring employees. The purpose of this single-site case study was to explore the knowledge transfer preferences of expert scientific support employees nearing retirement at a United States national laboratory in northern California. Understanding the preferences of employees nearing retirement may allow managers to affect the business practice of promoting organizational learning by implementing strategies that catalyze knowledge transfer from expert employees. Systems theory, expectancy theory, knowledge management theory, and organizational learning theory concepts provided the framework. Semistructured interviews with 24 expert scientific support employees provided data, which were subsequently coded and analyzed using the pawing technique. The analysis of themes revealed mentoring to be the preferred method of knowledge transfer, the barriers to knowledge transfer and multiple types of knowledge transfer, and the impact of lack of knowledge transfer on productivity. Public research organization managers implementing effective knowledge transfer programs may increase the potential for scientific discoveries affecting social change through increased prosperity of citizens who could benefit from the derivative advances in energy research.

The purpose of this thesis was to examine the relative efficacy of the incentive plan for loan officers within Farm Credit of the Virginia’s, ACA (FCV). The purpose of FCV’s incentive plan includes promoting firm financial growth and stability, employee retention, and encouraging teamwork. Incentive plans are important financial decisions for companies and these plans have upside potential and downside risk that should be considered in the decision making process. A literature review was conducted to analyze incentive practices and management theory in addition to a review incentive plans from other Farm Credit associations. A survey was also conducted to understand loan officer perceptions of the current incentive plan at FCV. The results of the survey provide insight into employee perceptions about job satisfaction, intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, organizational commitment, understanding of the incentive plan, and timing of incentives. Finally, observations with regards to potential improvement in the incentive plan were provided.

Despite the great advances science has made in developing selection decision aids practitioners’ generally remain reluctant to adopt them. This phenomenon is considered today one of the greatest gaps in industrial, work and organizational psychology. This thesis adopts a psychological approach to practitioners’ resistance toward hiring procedures with high predictive validity of work performance. Consequently, three specific research questions were examined, two of which highlighted aspects of self-regulation, and one focused on agency relation in order to study outcomes in terms of actual use of hiring procedures and intention to change hiring procedures. The present thesis comprises three studies. Questionnaire data is used in two studies (Study I and II) to study how 1) prototype beliefs and ability to evaluate the quality of own performance is related to use of selection decision methods; and also how 2) behavioral intention to change hiring practice is related to self-efficacy beliefs, causal attribution and past behavior. Data collected with semi-structured interviews is used in Study III in order to study practitioners’ experiences in collaborative contexts in employee selection. Study I found that prototype beliefs and task quality ambiguity perceptions varied across various hiring practices. The results from Study II showed that self-efficacy beliefs, external attributions of success and internal attributions of failure were related to intention to change hiring practices. Study III highlighted the prevalence of separate self-interests over more general organizational interests in the agentic relation between practitioners. In conclusion, the present thesis has implication for theory as well as practice when it concludes that conscious steered cognitive mechanisms are important for understanding practitioners’ resistance towards high standardized hiring practices.At the time of the doctoral defense, the following papers were unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 1: Manuscript.

The need continues within the field of organizational behavior management for empirically valid and feasible interventions to assist organizations with producing desirable changes in the work behavior of employees. The present study sought to determine the utility of a procedure to identify preferred stimulus among employees and the effects of implementation of the preferred stimulus on employee performance. Baseline data was collected on the productivity of employees. Then, a preference assessment was administered to employees. The results of the preference assessment yielded a commonly preferred stimulus which was then implemented to test for an effect on employee task completion. Results indicated moderate increases in employee performance and support the use of preference assessments to identify effective reinforcers for employees.

Background As digitalization and the Internet of Things (IoT) evolves in a rapid pace, the need for engineers, IT specialists and software developers introduce an increasing shortage of skilled workers. Managing the existing workforce is a challenge, increasing the interest in the antecedents and implications of their mobility activities. Employee turnover has been broadly viewed as a disadvantage for firms losing valuable human capital, increasing the implementation of retention strategies. On the other hand, an increasing amount of studies argue that mobility within a region is a source of knowledge spillovers and can enhance innovation and productivity, as well as regional economic growth by facilitating access to new external ideas and capabilities. There is a gap in the research on employees’ perception of opportunities and preferences that leads them to engage in mobility within the regional high-tech sector instead of other types of mobility. Objectives The purpose of this thesis is to increase the understanding of what factors influence the mobility of employees within the regional high-tech industry. Therefore, the perceived opportunities and preferences for different types of mobility are investigated. The aim is that the findings will facilitate the management of employee mobility and maximize the local organizations’ joint human capital. Method A quantitative survey study is conducted, collecting data from two high-tech organizations operating within the same geographical region. The collected data includes individual, organizational and external factors, as well as the intentions for turnover and considerations for different types of mobility. SPSS is used to statistically test what factors are associated with high-tech employees’ opportunities and preferences for mobility within the regional industry. Results High-tech personnel perceive most opportunities for alternative employment within the high-tech industry in another region, while finding another job within the region is perceived more difficult. If employees considered leaving their current organization, most would prefer to take a job within the regional high-tech industry. Satisfaction with pay, training opportunities and supervisors in the current job have a reducing effect on the intention to leave the organization, while perception of having alternative employment opportunities have an increasing effect on both turnover intention and for considering mobility within the same industry. No significant model for predicting the preference for mobility within the same region was found in this study. Conclusions The majority of high-tech personnel already prefer mobility within the regional industry if they were leaving their current job, but there is a mismatch with the perceived opportunities for this type of mobility. Actions towards matching the opportunities with the preferences are expected to result in benefits for the region by increasing the local overall knowledge base, provide the organizations with more opportunities to attract highly skilled workers locally, and increase employees’ job satisfaction and performance through better job-matches.

Personnel managers in different firms, industries and countries do not hold the same preferences for job applicant attributes. This research was aimed at understanding the cause of some of these differences. Survey questionnaires were sent to personnel managers in Norway (N = 195) and Quebec (N = 172). The personnel managers were asked to rate: (1) aspects related to their firms' organizational characteristics (business environment, strategy, and structure), and (2) the importance of different personality traits for applicants to managerial and professional positions. Consistent with earlier research (Rynes & Gerhart, 1990) the results indicate that preferences for different applicant attributes represent shared perceptions due to common organizational membership. These preferences are to some degree related to company strategy, organizational structure and national culture. In general, it was found that personnel managers currently seek candidates who can adapt to change and generate new ideas. The results are discussed in light of theories from industrial/organizational and cross-cultural psychology, and suggestions for further research are offered.

This study examined the signaling strength, or marketing power, of the most common qualifications of entry-level biomedical equipment technicians (BMETs) in Texas, based on stated hiring preferences of BMET managers, using order ranking of fictitious resumes. This study also sought to determine whether certification status, education background, military training background as a BMET, or type of employer [hospital or ISO] of the hiring manager had an effect on hiring preference for applicant qualifications of associate degree, military training as a BMET, or certified biomedical equipment technician (CBET) certification candidacy. Participants were asked to rank 16 fictitious resumes representing the most common qualifications of entry-level BMETs and to fill out a background questionnaire regarding their education, military, certification, and employer. The number of times each resume ranked in first place was tabulated and inter-rater reliability was calculated. Resumes with qualifications of associate degree versus military training as a BMET were compared at three levels of work experience. A chi-square test for independence was conducted for the comparisons to determine whether work experience influenced preference. Chi-square tests were also conducted for comparisons of associate degree with candidacy for CBET certification versus associate degree and military training with CBET candidacy versus military training. No statistically significant results were found for the chi-square tests, indicating that work experience did not significantly influence participant preferences for the compared qualifications. BMET hiring managers indicated a preference for combinations of qualifications rather than any single qualification. Correlations in hiring managers' educational background, certification status, military training as a BMET, type of employer, and preference for applicant qualifications were examined. Statistically significant correlations were found between participants' preference for associate degree or military training and level of education, military training background, and type of employer. Statistically significant correlations were also found between participants' preference of military training with CBET candidacy over military training alone and military training as a BMET background as well as certification background.

The ever increasing competition to recruit talented and skilled employees has created the necessity to understand which factors influence an applicant's decision to pursue a job offer from an organisation. Recruitment efforts no longer focus solely on the unemployed job seekers market, but has in recent years extended more aggressively into recruiting students before graduation. Moreover, some authors suggest that 60 % of current employees are passively seeking other employment, which creates opportunities to entice talented employees from competitors. However, it has become exceedingly clear that undifferentiated retention strategies are no longer appropriate or effective. The aim of this study was to develop an understanding of the relative importance that new entry job seekers and passive job seekers, from different demographic groups or cohorts, place on Employee Value Propositions (EVPs) and an organisation's corporate brand when choosing to pursue different job opportunities. A secondary aim of the study was to identify the ideal combination and quantum of EVPs relative to the organisation's corporate brand that may entice potential candidates to pursue a career opportunity within an organisation. The current study adopted a descriptive research design, following a quantitative research approach. Primary data was collected from students, graduates and employed job seekers in their early career stage by means of two online questionnaires (n= 954). The questionnaires were compiled from the total rewards elements included in the World at Work Total Rewards model and were informed by a comprehensive literature review on Employee Value Propositions (EVPs) and Organisation Corporate Brand. Descriptive statistics, t-tests and ANOVAs were used to analyse data collected from Questionnaire 1 and to analyse the data collected with Questionnaire 2. Choice-based conjoint analyses were used to identify the ideal combination and quantum of EVPs relative to the organisation's corporate brand; as well as which of these variables (i.e. EVPs or corporate brand) are considered more important for potential employees. The results obtained from the choice-based conjoint analysis revealed that overall EVP's were considered (relatively) more important than Corporate Brand, while Affiliation (i.e.employee's association with the organisation, person-organisational fit) was considered more important overall than Corporate Brand.

This thesis begins with an introduction to performance management and the intended aim and objective of the research. Thereafter literature findings relative to performance management and performance management systems are discussed. In the review of literature, three processes that could be implemented in a performance management system were highlighted, namely; (1) the planning process, (2) the monitoring and development process, and (3) an annual summative and feedback process. Performance management functions deemed important to employees during each process of the performance management system were identified and discussed. Subsequent to the literature review, the research methodology was described and involved the implementation of quantitative research within a post-positivist paradigm in the form of a close-ended survey questionnaire. Analysis of the data involved a gap analysis and needs analysis. The gap analysis study was based on the opinion of management respondents in comparison to the opinion of non-management respondents. Results of the gap analysis were determined based on the calculation of an importance score for each sub-group. The needs analysis study was based on the overall opinion of all respondents, and results were determined based on the calculation of an overall importance score. In light of the literature review that was conducted to inform the questionnaire design, the survey results supported the literature review of each discussed performance management function with no evident contradictions. The results of the gap analysis and needs analysis were satisfactorily met for each performance management function. On the basis of these findings, it was assumed that all the performance management functions identified in the literature are important and could be implemented in the design of a performance management system. The results highlighted the importance of a performance plan and development plan to underpin the performance management system.

The purpose of this study was to provide prospective recreation graduate assistants recommendations how to write clear and concise resumes that would help them earn a graduate assistantship. After reviewing the literature, three categories of resume development were identified as important in evaluating what graduate assistants will need to include in a resume that would attract recreation professionals' attention during the selection process. The categories included demographic information, resume content components, and general information. No prior research existed for recreation graduate assistant resume content.The researcher created a survey based on three categories. The survey was a descriptive study using data derived from the participants' completed survey. Participants for this study (N=3 72) were recreation professionals who worked at National Intramural Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA) affiliated schools and were directly responsible for the selecting and evaluating of graduate assistants. Research findings revealed that 70% of the participants viewed the resume as the most essential piece of written application materials. Participants consistently viewed practical experiences including professional publications written, professional conferences attended and internships as important aspects to include in a resume. This research also concluded that, due to graduate school requirements, current academic information such as major field of study, internship experience, and type of degree earned were highly rated as essential or very important pieces to include on a resume. Personal information such as a candidate's characteristics were consistently viewed as somewhat important or of no value to recreation professionals.School of Physical Education

Since the Chinese economic reform in 1979, there have been various types of enterprises being established instead of the period when the market was mainly dominated by state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Nowadays, except for the government (GOV) departments, the three main types of enterprises are state-owned enterprises (SOEs), private-owned enterprises (POEs) and foreign-owned enterprises (FOEs). In the paper, the aim is to compare the difference in empowering and coaching of the leadership style from employees’ perspective across different types of enterprises and government in Shanghai and find out the potential reasons for the differences. To make the suggestions for improvement in leadership, the paper has compared the existing condition with the employees’ preference in both empowering and coaching leadership style. 144 Questionnaires have been collected in order to make quantitative tests. The questionnaires have been distributed to both employees and managers in different types of companies and government in Shanghai. SPSS 19.0 were used to deal with the data and helped to draw the conclusion. Based on the literature reviews, the paper proposed three hypotheses. The results show that some of the hypotheses are confirmed; however, some of the hypotheses are rejected. For the rejected ones, the paper give the possible explanations and at the same time, based on other variables of the information of respondents, further analysis has been done to find out how the ideal and actual leadership styles affected by other variables in different groups.

Det kan vara svårt och tidskrävande att hitta rätt arbetstagare. Företagen måste sticka ut i mängden för att locka och rekrytera rätt kandidat. Employer Branding är ett arbetssätt som handlar om att bygga ett varumärke på konkurrensmarknaden, rekrytera samt förstärka sina nuvarande anställdas engagemang i företagets kultur och strategier. Examensarbetet kommer handla om hur företag kan attrahera ingenjörsstudenter för att få en ökad förståelse vad en arbetstagare söker hos en arbetsgivare. Genom att finna vad studerande ingenjörer attraheras av kan man ta fram strategier som eventuellt kan minska tiden från behov till faktiskt tjänst.Metoden som använts är triangulering som är en kombination av kvalitativ och kvantitativ studie. Där en enkät har delats ut till studerande ingenjörer för att få en inblick i vad studenterna attraheras av. Intervjuer med anställda samt möten om Employer Branding på företaget har genomförts.Resultatet är att studenter bland annat attraheras av goda relationer till kollegor, arbetsgivare bryr sig om anställda och möjlighet till karriärutveckling. För att eventuellt minska tiden från behovet till faktisk tjänst kan Employer Branding- och rekryteringsstrategin användas.It can be difficult and exigent to find the right employee. To attract and recruit, companies must stand out among the competitors. Employer Branding is a way of building a brand on the market, recruiting and strengthening its current employees commitment to corporate culture and strategies. This thesis is about how companies can attract engineering students to gain an understanding of what an employee is attracted to by the employer. By finding out what future engineering are attracted to, strategies can be developed that may reduce time from the actual need to employment. The method that has been used is triangulation, which is a combination of qualitative and quantitative studies. Where an inquiry has been distributed to studying engineers to get an insight in what the students are attracted to in a company. Interviews with employees and meetings about Employer Branding at the company has been implemented. The result shows that students are looking for good relations with colleagues, employers care about employees and opportunity for career development in a company. To possibly decrease the time period between "the need for" and an actual employment, these strategies could be used Employer Branding- and recruitment strategy.

Seminario para optar al grado de Ingeniero Comercial, Mención Administración¿Por qué la gente se cambia de trabajo? ¿Qué los lleva a decidir que estarán mejor en otro lugar? Este estudio analiza varios factores que, combinados, pueden afectar la rotación laboral voluntaria. También provee un entendimiento del comportamiento y preferencias de las personas, ya que puede ayudar a que los empleadores sean capaces de diseñar programas de retención mejores y más efectivos. El proyecto analiza la información de 112 encuestados de entre 18 y 40 años de edad del mercado laboral Chileno, y lo complementa con la experiencia de 5 profesionales con conocimiento en el tema. Los resultados confirman que la rotación es una consecuencia de la insatisfacción laboral: una combinación de factores que incluyen remuneración, reconocimiento y oportunidades de desarrollo de carrera, entre otros. Estos factores están relacionados con las expectativas y preferencias de las personas, las cuales varían entre generaciones, la etapa de vida en la que están y el tipo de trabajo que hacen.
Why do people change jobs? What drives them to decide they will be better off somewhere else? This study analyzes various factors which, when combined, may affect voluntary employee turnover. It also helps to provide an understanding of people’s behavior and preferences because it can allow employers to design better and more effective retention programs. The project analyzes information provided from 112 respondents between the ages of 18 and 40 in the Chilean labor market; and complements it with the experience of 5 professionals with knowledge of the turnover issue. Results confirm that turnover is the consequence of work dissatisfaction – a combination of factors which include pay, recognition and career development opportunities, among others. These factors are related to people’s expectations and preferences, which vary between generations, the stage of life they are in and the type of work they do.

I investigated insecurity threat and its implications for employee leadership preferences. Preferences for three types of leadership style were examined: charismatic, relationship-oriented, and task-oriented leadership. It was anticipated that individuals’ salient work values would predict leadership preference more strongly after insecurity threat than under control conditions. Two different types of threats were investigated in comparison to a neutral control condition.
Results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in leader ratings between threat conditions. My results suggest that threat does not significantly influence preference for charismatic or task-oriented leaders. Work values did not significantly predict a preference for a leadership type.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This thesis investigates the effects of ‘atypical’ forms of employment, induced by labour market flexibility, on employee well-being. The empirical analysis uses subjective job satisfaction information included in large household panel surveys (BHPS, ECHP) and in an original cross-section sample of low-skilled workers in Europe (EPICURUS). Apart from assisting in the establishment of consensus regarding the impact of various determinants of job satisfaction, it also extends the conventional specification by incorporating several “new” explanatory variables in the model, such as part-time work, measures of working conditions, as well as incentive pay. In this manner it proves that the ultimate effect of unstable working arrangements on job satisfaction depends on the extent to which individuals who work in these do so by choice rather than compulsion. Furthermore, it empirically verifies that one of the most significant non-pecuniary ‘costs’ of inferior working conditions is reduced employee motivation and job satisfaction. The thesis also casts doubt on non-economic arguments claiming that the provision of incentive pay is detrimental to job security and to the intrinsic satisfaction that workers derive from their jobs. An important asymmetry is moreover uncovered in the manner in which individual and gain-sharing incentives affect the overall utility of employees, as only the latter are found to have a positive effect. A major novelty of this thesis is that it utilizes a new technique for measuring employee preferences, namely the so-called conjoint analysis method. This approach enables the detection of the ex ante preferences of workers over a given number of attributes that are typical of most jobs, prior any psychological adaptation phenomena coming into play. Insights for policymakers are derived that are expected to inform the design of a more socially cohesive welfare policy.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
A key precept in work place motivation theory is that management knows what job attributes are valued by the employee. Management can benefit by asking employees what they want from their work experience (i.e., job attribute preferences), rather than assume they know. This is particularly important to Polish high technology companies that are in transition to a free-market economy and to Polish workers who must be appropriately motivated to compete globally.
This study attempts to better understand the job attribute preferences of Polish managers and workers, the potential gaps between Polish managers' perception of their workers' preferences (system), and how these preferences are affected by the worker's personal economic situation (sub system) and by business organization type (supra system). Managers and workers from five Polish high technology enterprises were surveyed on-site regarding their job attribute preferences. The results compared to a similar survey done with six American high technology firms(Eder 1988).
Consistent with Maslow's prepotentcy theory, workers who tended to be optimistic about their personal economic situation rated all five extrinsic job attributes higher and four of the five intrinsics lower than those workers who tended to be pessimistic. Polish workers at firms that operated under central planning had only a few differences in their job attribute preferences indicating a strong supra-system or organizational effect on individuals in the firm.
Contrary to what was expected, the Polish managers and workers rated a number of intrinsic attributes higher than their American counterparts suggesting a pent up need for intrinsic-type motivational policies.
Polish managers appeared to be closer and more in touch with their workers than their American counterparts. American managers clearly underestimated the importance of intrinsic job attributes and overestimated the importance of the extrinsics, while Polish managers accurately predicted most of the workers' job attribute preferences.
The results also raised questions regarding the stability of job attributes and the concept of clusters of extrinsic and intrinsic groups of job attributes.

Presently there are four generational cohorts in the workplace. Born from 1977 to 1997, the youngest cohort group, referred to as Generation Y (or Gen Y) in this study, has 81 million members, of whom over 29 million are already in the workplace. The importance of leader-subordinate relationships in the workplace has been confirmed; in recognizing this, leaders must identify and adapt to the changing era-shaped needs of employees, who cannot fully participate in organizational life if their most urgent needs are not being met. Because Gen Y employees are only now entering the workforce, little is actually known about the workplace needs of this cohort group. This study attempted to determine leadership needs of a Gen Y cohort as a means to enhance workplace relationships in the 21st century organization. A sequential, mixed methods study was employed to explore leadership preferences of a Gen Y cohort. Initially, focus group interviews were used to generate leadership themes. Based on these themes, an instrument was designed, and Gen Y business students from three higher education institutions were surveyed. Confirmatory factor analysis using LISREL software was used to test the themes. The driving force behind this research design was to build a foundation of understanding through inductive research (qualitative) and to test and enrich the foundation through deductive means (quantitative).

This mixed-methods study examines factors determining employees' desire to reduce worktime. The results of a binary logit regression model, based on data from the Austrian Microcencus 2012, suggest that employees who prefer shorter weekly working hours are older, higher educated and work longer hours in white-collar positions, compared to those who do not wish to change their hours. Gender differences are greatest in terms of household and family characteristics, supporting the 'male breadwinner & part-time' model. Qualitative interviews have been conducted among employees who had the possibility to choose between a pay increase and equivalent leisure time via a new worktime policy ("Freizeitoption") implemented in 2013. The results suggest that employees with higher education tend to reduce worktime. The fact that money is valued from a long-term, security perspective, as well as the tendency of assessing work performances by output indicators can be regarded as major obstacles for worktime reductions.Series: WWWforEurope

The question of how cultural values impact upon human resource management (HRM) practices in organisations has become an important issue in the developing Middle Eastern countries' business context (Aycan, Al-Hamadi, Davis, & Budhwar, 2007; Afiouni, Ruel, & Schuler, 2013). There is growing support for the notion that country-based factors, such as culture, have an important influence on international HRM practices (Nyambegera, Span·ow,
& Daniels, 2000; Budhwar, 2012). For example, thereis increasing concern about how models ofHRM practices, largely created in the developed world, can be transfened to developing countries and cultures (Bjorkman & Lervik, 2007; Sartorius, Merino, & Cannichael, 2011), including the Middle East (Sheikh, Newman, & Al Azzeh, 2012). Therefore, studies investigating whether or not international HRM theories and practices can be generalised to developing countries are needed. Such a need is relevant in the Middle East, particularly in Saudi Arabia, where there are constant challenges in regard to human resource development and management.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Bakgrund: Ett flexibelt arbete innebär att arbetet är flexibelt gällande tid och rum där arbetstagarna får ett stort inflytande över när, var och hur länge de ska utföra sitt arbete. Flexibiliteten kan innebära att gränserna mellan arbete och privatliv suddas ut, där det föreligger individuella skillnader i såväl förmågan att sätta gränser mellan domänerna arbete och privatliv som preferenser gällande gränssättande, där vissa föredrar att hålla arbetet på arbetet medan andra trivs med att blanda samman arbetet med privatliv. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka om obalans mellan beteende och preferenser inom ett flexibelt arbete visade samband med stress hos undervisande och forskande personal på ett universitet. Studien kontrollerade även för relevanta variabler. Metod: Designen var en tvärsnittsstudie där en enkät skickades ut till 1271 undervisande och forskande personal på ett universitet. För att mäta gränslöst beteende, preferenser gällande gränssättande och stress användas tre stycken etablerade formulär; Work interrupting nonwork behaviors scale, Workplace segmentation preferences och COPSOQ II. Svarsfrekvensen var 39,7% och två hierarkiska multipla regressionsanalyser genomfördes med stress som utfallsvariabel, arbetsbelastning och undervisningsfördelning som förväxlingsvariabler och prediktorn utgjordes i analys 1 av Obalans – Beteende, seg. (n=218) och i analys 2 av Obalans – Beteende, integ. (n=303). Resultat: I analys 1 förelåg det ett negativt samband mellan stress och Obalans – Beteende, seg. När förväxlingsvariablerna kontrollerades förklarade Obalans – Beteende, seg. 4,4% av variationen i stress. I analys 2 förelåg det ett positivt samband mellan stress och Obalans – Beteende, integ. När förväxlingsvariablerna kontrollerades förklarade Obalans – Beteende, integ. 9,3% av variationen i stress. Slutsats: Föreliggande studie indikerar på att obalans mellan beteende och preferenser både är en faktor som kan genera i ökad och minskad stress, där studiens resultat tyder på att obalansen värderas olika vilket i sin tur skulle kunna bero på att segregation respektive integration är olika svårt att uppnå.Background: Flexible work means flexible in terms of time and space, where employees have influence over when, where, and for how long they will work. This also means that the boundaries between work and privacy can become unclear. There are individual differences in both the ability to set boundaries between work and privacy as for preferences; some prefer to keep work at work while others prefer to merge work with privacy. Objective: The aim of the study was to examine if imbalance between behavior and preferences in a flexible work was associated with stress. Relevant confounders were included. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted within one university. Three established forms were used; Work interrupting nonwork behaviors scale, Workplace segmentation preferences, and COPSOQ II. Two hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted, with stress as the outcome variable, workload and teaching distribution as confounders, and Imbalance – Behavior, segregation as predictor in analysis 1 (n=218) and Imbalance – Behavior, integration as predictor in analysis 2 (n=303). Results and Conclusion: Imbalance – Behavior, segregation was associated with lower levels of stress, and Imbalance – Behavior, integration was associated with higher levels of stress. The results of the study indicate that the imbalance is evaluated differently, which could be due to the fact that segregation versus integration are variously hard to achieve.

La migration des étudiants marocains, notamment vers la France, reflète une volonté de surmonter les défis d’un marché du travail local souvent considéré comme défavorable aux diplômés marocains. Face à ces contraintes, ces étudiants choisissent une formation académique à l’étranger, particulièrement en France, dans l’espoir d’acquérir des compétences et une reconnaissance internationale susceptibles d’améliorer leurs perspectives professionnelles. Cependant, cette dynamique soulève la question de savoir dans quelle mesure un séjour en France, qu’il soit purement académique ou enrichi par une expérience professionnelle, contribue efficacement à leur employabilité et à leur intégration sur le marché local à leur retour. C’est dans ce cadre que s’inscrit cette recherche doctorale, qui explore le devenir professionnel des diplômés marocains ayant étudié en France avant de retourner au Maroc. Elle analyse leurs motivations, leurs expériences de retour et l’impact de cette migration sur leur intégration professionnelle. De plus, elle examine les intentions de retour des étudiants marocains encore en formation en France, en lien avec leurs projets post-études. Enfin, l’étude s’intéresse aux préférences des employeurs marocains pour les diplômés formés en France, afin de mieux comprendre l’adéquation entre les aspirations des étudiants et les attentes du marché marocain. Pour répondre à ces objectifs, la méthodologie adoptée repose sur l’analyse approfondie de données issues de trois enquêtes spécialement conçues pour cette étude. L’emploi combiné de méthodes quantitatives et qualitatives, incluant notamment l’analyse de discours, a enrichi la compréhension des dynamiques liées à l’employabilité des diplômés marocains. Les résultats obtenus révèlent que les perceptions individuelles des étudiants concernant les opportunités professionnelles dans leur domaine d’études et qualifications, tant dans le pays d’accueil que dans le pays d’origine, jouent un rôle déterminant dans leur décision de retourner au Maroc après leurs études. Le niveau d’attachement simultané au pays d’accueil et au pays d’origine influence également de manière notable les choix post-études. Par ailleurs, l’expérience professionnelle acquise en France après les études améliore significativement l’employabilité des diplômés, indépendamment de leur filière d’études. Toutefois, des disparités subsistent : les diplômés des autre sciences humaines et sociales (lettres , etc.) et des sciences fondamentales rencontrent davantage de difficultés de réintégration, tandis que ceux issus des filières d’économie, de gestion et d’ingénierie bénéficient d’une insertion professionnelle plus fluide au Maroc. Enfin, l’étude met en évidence l’importance des parcours académiques, des trajectoires professionnelles et des caractéristiques individuelles dans la réussite et l’employabilité des diplômés sur le marché du travail marocain. Elle démontre es employeurs marocains accordent une grande valeur aux diplômes universitaires obtenus en France, ainsi qu’à l’expérience professionnelle acquise dans ce pays. Cependant, des disparités dans les pratiques de recrutement sont observées, influencées par des éléments tels que le mode de gestion des entreprises (familial ou non) et la nature des relations avec les partenaires et clients (locaux ou internationaux). Ces constats révèlent la complexité des interactions entre les parcours internationaux des diplômés et les spécificités du marché local, offrant une perspective globale sur les défis de l’employabilité au MarocThe migration of Moroccan students, particularly to France, reflects a desire to overcome the challenges posed by a local labor market often considered unfavorable to Moroccan graduates. Faced with these constraints, students opt for academic training abroad, especially in France, in the hope of acquiring skills and international recognition likely to improve their professional prospects. However, this dynamic raises the question of how a stay in France, whether purely academic or enriched by professional experience, effectively contributes to their employability and reintegration into the local labor market upon their return. This doctoral research is set within this framework and explores the professional trajectories of Moroccan graduates who studied in France before returning to Morocco. It analyzes their motivations, return experiences, and the impact of this migration on their professional integration. Additionally, it examines the return intentions of Moroccan students still in training in France, in connection with their post-graduation plans. Finally, the study investigates the preferences of Moroccan employers for graduates trained in France, aiming to better understand the alignment between students’ aspirations and the needs of the Moroccan labor market. To achieve these objectives, the methodology is based on an in-depth analysis of data from three surveys specifically designed for this study. The combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including discourse analysis, has enriched the understanding of the dynamics related to the employability of Moroccan graduates. The results reveal that students’ individual perceptions of job opportunities in their field of study and qualifications, both in the host and home countries, play a crucial role in their decision to return to Morocco after studying abroad. Furthermore, the simultaneous attachment to both the host and home countries significantly influences their post-graduation choices. Professional experience acquired in France after graduation also significantly enhances the employability of Moroccan graduates, regardless of their field of study. However, disparities persist: graduates from fields such as humanities, social sciences (literature, etc.), and pure sciences face greater reintegration challenges compared to those in economics, management, and engineering, who experience smoother professional integration in Morocco. Finally, the study highlights the importance of academic backgrounds, professional trajectories, and individual characteristics in the success and employability of graduates in the Moroccan labor market. It also demonstrates that Moroccan employers highly value university degrees obtained in France, as well as the professional experience gained in the country. However, disparities in recruitment practices are observed, influenced by factors such as the type of company management (family-owned or not) and the nature of relationships with partners and clients (local or international). These findings underscore the complexity of the interactions between the international trajectories of graduates and the specificities of the local labor market, offering a comprehensive perspective on the challenges of employability in Morocco
