Full textSyftet med uppsatsen är att genom litteraturstudier och med utgångspunkt i ett antal kända motivationsteorier och faktorer, dvs. vanligt förekommande teorier inom motivations-forskning ur ett kritiskt synsätt belysa olika teorier utifrån nyare forskning samt egna erfaren-heter. Metod: Att med hjälp av sekundärdata i form av litteraturer inhämta olika motivationsteorier och motivationsfaktorer som sedan analyseras. Både svensk och engelsk litteratur som är skri-ven av kända författare inom ämnet har använts som underlag. Även egna erfarenheter och reflektioner förekommer i vissa delar. Teori: Här presenteras överskådligt ett antal kända teorier som legat till grund för ett antal tidigare forskningar. Sedan följer ett nytt kapitel av teori som inte förekommer i tidigare forskningar. Författaren finner dessa som relevanta och presenterar dessa för läsaren. Analys: Här presenteras kritik som riktats mot teorierna under åren. Egna reflektioner: Här efter en omfattande litteraturstudie och genomgång av tidigare forsk-ning presenteras egna reflektioner kring motivation. Dessa är byggda på egna erfarenheter och tolkningar vilket författaren vill upplysa läsaren om. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Författaren föreslår vidareforskning i ämnet motivation fast inom flera områden som arbetsliv, idrott och skolan samt med illustrationsintervjuer för att få en bättre inblick i ämnet motivation.

Full textThe purpose of the study was that based on professionals' knowledge and experiences of young adults explore how the provision in chapter 4 § 4 SoL used in practice and whether it allows the chance to self-sufficiency .This was done through qualitative interviews with welfare benefits administrators, counselor , and young adults with connections to the subject .The study is inductive with a hermeneutic approach and the material has been analyzed using Maslow's hierarchy of needs , empowerment theory and previous research. The result showed that a competence-raising effort will ultimately lead to self-sufficiency, but also develops the participants' psychological well-being. Although participation in skill-enhancing activity is a requirement to receive welfare benefits, the young adults have a positive experience of the activities and counselors in contrast to previous research. The reason for the positive outcome seems to depend on the individual aid and the design.

Full textReward and recognition are two phenomena that are said to increase employees' motivational factors in order to achieve increased job satisfaction. These phenomena are controversial topics in today's society as organizations provide their employees with this in different ways, or in some cases not at all. Our purpose with this study was to investigate what significance the phenomena of reward and recognition have to employees' job satisfaction. We have conducted eight semi-structured interviews with employees in different organizations, at different ages and in different positions. The theoretical frame of reference presents relevant and updated research as well as theories that deal with job satisfaction, motivational factors, reward and recognition. Our question in order to obtain a basis for this study has been presented by studying the research and the theories that appear in the theoretical frame of reference that has been carried out in this subject area. The discussion section contains the experiences and interpretations we obtained after analyzing the theoretical frame of reference together with the collected empirical data in the study. The result of our study shows that the respondents rather receive recognition than reward. Our conclusion from this study is that the phenomena of reward and recognition are interpreted from different perspectives. It is our experience that this happens because each individual is unique and also strives for different types of rewards and recognition. This is done to increase the individuals' motivational factors so that they can obtain job satisfaction. Due to the individual circumstances in the chosen area, in our opinion, entails an enormous complexity. We would like to point out that a larger study regarding recognition and reward would be a beneficial aspect to conduct. We mean, that with more respondents and to, for example, examine the differences when it comes to reward and recognition in the public and private sector would have been of interest in our opinion.

Full textDue to fast advances in technology and changes in managerial practices, several theories and studies on the future of work have emerged. However, the focus has been on technological and commercial issues, with little interest for human relations and man\'s understanding of his own actualization. Discussions about the role of work, its meaning and purpose have awakened the search for knowledge about mechanisms of satisfaction of human needs through productive action. New ways of working have demanded an increase in autonomy and individuality in the execution of task. This study relies on Maslows (1954) concept of Self-actualization and aims to identify personal information and historical professional profile and work preferences that will connect and correlate with on statistical basis with the SISA Short Index of Self Actualization. Quantitative data was gathered through online questionnaire applied in the first half of 2018, for a 7-day period, presenting questions about personal and professional profile identification and preferences at work + SISA. Total research sample = 4,048. SISA index of the exercise has identified 394 (9,7%) self-actualizing subjects. Higher self-actualization percentages were identified in the older and more experienced group. The odds of being a self-actualizing person has shown to be correlated with educational level and age. The higher the formal education level of a subject, stronger the probability of being a self-actualizing individual. Subjects working on flexible organizations and contemporary management models show 1,39 times more chance of being self-actualized, than workers on hierarchical organizations. 50,7% of the total sample is composed by individuals working under traditional employment strict rules (CLT). Subjects in this group presents lower probability (7,4%) of being self-actualized. Individuals whose jobs and employment agreements are more flexible and autonomous have superior index for self-actualization. 90% of the sample have mentioned negative emotional impact from previous jobs. Conclusions are that self-actualization potential will be higher as the subject is older, more experienced and has higher educational level. Flexible and autonomous working conditions will also have a positive impact on self-actualization index

Full textThis studies ambition is to broaden the knowledge of the users motive to consume an iPhone. Particular attention has been focused around the need to justify the use and the iPhones role in the user's construction of the self and the social identity. The purpose of this study is to investigate a group of users motives for using a specific type of smartphone, one with a strong brand, to understand the underlying reasons for the use. Smartphones, especially the iPhone, has in recent years become a very popular means of communication. Therefore, it is important to conduct research on the topic to get a deeper understanding of why we use certain technology and in particular how the user perceive this technology. Through a qualitative strategy of research with focusgroup-interview as a method, this study answers questions like: what motives are there to use an iPhone, what impact have iPhone on humans in their construction of the self and the social identity, and what needs are behind the users motive to use an iPhone? The subjects which were most prominent can be summarized in following themes: the construction of self, access to information, social interaction, entertainment value and the so-called iPhone-need. In the design of the ego, iPhone functions both as a symbolic possession and as an aid. It is a tangible extension of one's self and one's social identity. A user of the iPhone can belong to three different kinds of clans: Apple-enthusiasts, media elite and the economical prosperous. The easy and quick access to information that the iPhone offers, and the opportunities for social interaction are strong incentives to the use of the phone. When it comes to the entertainment value in the consumption of an iPhone it appears in the study that humans consume an iPhone to simple play and to be entertained. The consumer uses the iPhone to explore their playfulness. Finally, an emerging phenomenon in the study is the iPhone-need. It is perceived as an entirely new needs by the users when they consume the iPhone. Users feel that the iPhone creates a new need and dependence. However, it is not a new need, but rather a reinforcement or extension of some of the basic needs of humans.

Dessa organisationer valdes eftersom det ansågs föreligga likheter i deras sätt att arbeta och träna. För att i mesta möjliga mån få del av respondenternas tankar kring vad som motiverar dem valdes semistrukturerade intervjuer som metod för insamlig av data. Data analyserades sedan utifrån Maslows behovshierarki samt Herzbergs tvåfaktorteori.

Full textI denna uppsats har jag valt att studera självstärkande inslag i förskoleverksamhetens vardag och knyta an dessa till teoretiker som Erikson, Maslow samt Sommer. Undersökningen är baserad på tidigare forskning, ovan nämnda teoretiker samt en enkätundersökning. Enkätundersökningen genomfördes på en förskola med 16 pedagoger och kan därför ses som en grund för ett vidare forskningsarbete. Studien visade att det vanligaste sättet att stärka barnens självkänsla var att låta dem försöka själva innan de fick hjälp av någon vuxen, uppmuntra dem att försöka på nytt samt att ge positiv respons när de lyckades. Jag fann av svaren flest anknytningar till Maslow samt Sommer, endast några inslag kunde knytas till Erikson.
In this examination I’ve chosen to look at educationalists work procedures around children’s self-esteem and how to connect those procedures with theorists as Erikson, Maslow and Sommer. This examination is based on previous research, the theorists mentioned above and questionnaires. The questionnaires were carried out in a preschool with 16 educationalists and can therefore be seen as a base for future examinations. The study showed that the most common way of strengthen children’s self-esteem is to let them try by them selves before any help from an educationalist, encourage them to try again and to give them positive response whenever progress was made. Through the questionnaires I found only a few associations to Erikson but more to Maslow and Sommers.

Full textClinical learning experiences form an integral part of the 2nd and 3rd year learner nurses' training, because it is in the clinical placement that nurses should acquire the knowledge, skills and values that are necessary for professional practice competency. Nurses who are working night shift routinely feel deserted and left out of the information sphere. In most cases, these nurses find themselves in situations of staff shortages, diminished resources and reduced managerial direction. This situation is leading to demotivation. Maslow’s theory in relation to the hierarchy of human needs is regarded as the basic motivators of human activity. Maslow’s theoretical framework of the hierarchy of basic human needs was employed to compare the motivational needs of 2nd and 3rd year learner nurses who were working either night or day shift at the time of data collection. The purpose of the study was to compare the motivational needs of 2nd and 3rd year learner nurses who were working day and / or night shift. The researcher followed a quantitative, descriptive and comparative survey design with a sample of the population. A sample of 2nd year (n = 103) and 3rd year learner nurses (n = 103) was drawn from each group and a 100 fully completed questionnaires were submitted by each group. The researcher gathered the data with the assistance of a self-administered questionnaire that comprised primarily of closed-ended questions and a 5-point Likert scale was employed to capture their responses. The researcher used a structured questionnaire to explore the perceptions of the 2nd and 3rd year learner nurses about their needs to acquire motivation in the workplace in the context of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. The researcher used descriptive and inferential statistics to analyse the data. Data was plotted and expressed by means of frequency tables. Descriptive statistical analysis and associations between various variables were completed by using parametric tests. The findings of the study were related to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs; i.e. the physiological, safety, social, self-esteem and self-actualisation needs to motivate the 2nd and 3rd year learner nurses during day and night shift. The findings include significant differences between the needs of 2nd and 3rd year respondents in relation to working day and night shift at the health service institutions in the Western Cape Province. In Item 27, the perceived needs of the 2nd and 3rd year respondents to be placed in their units of preference during night shift varied between never to sometimes. The 2nd year respondents (n = 74, 74.0%) and (n = 74, 76.8%) of 3rd year respondents on night shift experienced their need to be placed in a unit of preference to be considered. From the descriptive statistics (Tables 4.15 – 4.220), it was evident that the 2nd year respondents did neither have the highest nor lowest mean values across the study; the observation for the 3rd year respondents was similar. The mean values of night shift respondents mostly scored lower than the day shift mean values. The inferential statistics indicated significant differences between 2nd and 3rd year day shift respondents and between 2nd and 3rd year night shift respondents with night shift depicting more significant differences than day shift. That confirmed that both 2nd and 3rd year learner nurses’ motivational needs of night shift respondents were more pronounced than the needs of day shift respondents. Emerging from this research, recommendations were formulated for clinical educators, nurse educators, unit managers and professional nurses in accordance with Maslow's hierarchy of needs with the purpose of meeting the motivational needs of the 2nd and 3rd year learner nurses at the health service institutions in the Western Cape Province. Validity and reliability principles were applied during the entire research process. The reliability and validity of the research instrument was determined by applying Cronbach's alpha test. The Cronbach alpha coefficients were 0.93 and 0.93 for the day and night shift respondents respectively. Those values were above 70% and close to 100%, which indicated that the questionnaire had been a reliable research instrument. All coefficients of the pilot study were above 70% which indicated that the instrument was consistent and reliable. The reliability of the questions were tested for content and face validity. The researcher observed ethical considerations during the entire research process. Ethical considerations of beneficence, avoiding undue intrusion, the right to privacy, confidentiality, fair treatment, respect for the respondents, the right to freedom and the right to withdraw from the study at any stage, informed consent and protecting respondents from any harm were adhered to. The respondents provided written consent that acknowledged those ethical principles.

Full textThe thesis proves the presence of a symbolical background (that of the imaginary figure of the cosmic man) in the contemporary model of the "self-realized man” as shown in the psychological philosophy of Abraham Maslow {USA, 1908-1970).There is undeniably a certain "descosmiczation" of this “universal man” and creator in Maslow's psychology. We could date that there is a tendency towards secularizing and psychologizing that lies behind the symbolical world where the self-realized man is rooted, thus generating the various images of the cosmic man. We hence prove that under the conceptual framework of a psychological terminology, there lies the presence of an actual network of schemes, images and isotope symbols of the generic and symbolical figure of the cosmic man. This figure as such, casts a very optimistic picture of man and his environment, clearly showing that the ultimate meaning of the symbolical function is euphemism, acting as an "auspicious principle", the mythical and ideal perspective of meaningfulness. Maslow's "creative personality" is herein analysed by the light of the very lines of symbolical interpretation used to interpret other earlier figurations, forerunners of the generic "cosmic man”, thus showing certain structural isomorphisms.

Full textPurpose: The relevance of this study is based on Postnord’s annual report regarding a demonstrated increase in Swedish e-commerce in 2020. Consequently, the purpose is to examine the buying-behavior of Swedish women during the Covid-19 pandemic with focus on the digitalization in retail. The study intends to contribute with knowledge about the connection between consumer buying-behavior and digitalization during a worldwide pandemic, further on to create a discussion about the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the already ongoing paradigm shift in retail, associated to digital consumer buying-behavior. Methodology: The study applies a qualitative research method with focus groups, based on a snowball sampling. The sample consists of women aged 18-35 and a the maticanalysis method is used to create structure and in a methodical way compile and analyze the results of the focus group. The study is based on both primary and secondary data. The primary data has been collected through online focus groups and the secondary data comes from scientific articles, but also previous statistics from, among others, Handelsrådet. Theoretical perspective: The theoretical framework which the study is based on, is mainly the buying process, and Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Furthermore, it also presents relevant previous research on the Covid-19 pandemic’s effect on and consumer buying-behavior in order to create a complete background to the study. Finally, a brief description is presented of how the theoretical framework will be applied and how the frameworks relate to each other. Empirical analysis and Conclusion: The study is based on twelve female respondents and their individual experiences ofhow the covid-19 pandemic has affected their consuming behaviour. Despite the fact that an interest in digital solutions already existed before the pandemic, it has nevertheless increased in connection with the respondents' experience of increased marketing of digital services during the pandemic. The conclusion is therefore that the use of digital solutions such as instabox, download in store and home delivery has surged during the pandemic. Furthermore, the respondents show a tendency to do more online shopping to compensate for lack of social activities and boredom. The results have been discussed based on the purpose of the report, research questions and the theoretical frameworks.

Full textMastitis is a major disease faced by dairy farmers worldwide. One of the indicators directly related to the prevalence of the disease in the herd is the bulk tank somatic cell count (BTSCC). Recent studies showed that one of the risk factors associated with mastitis is the human factor. That is, factors related to management practices, farm management and personal characteristics of the farmer, such as personality, attitude, beliefs, intentions, skills, knowledge and others are important, besides to employee\'s engagement. Therefore, to understand the influence of humans is fundamental to control and prevent the disease. The main goal of this study was i) to determine whether the motivations and barriers perceived by farmers can explain the variation in the BTSCC, ii) to evaluate the farmer mindset about the business future and, iii) if the needs of dairy farms employees are being met. Thus, a study was conducted at 75 dairy farms in southern Brazil. Data collection was conducted through interviews with farmers end employees using a survey based on open questions and Likert scale answers. All surveys were given by the same researcher. Fogg Behavioral Model (FBM) was used to study the farmer mindset and Maslow\'s Motivation Theory was used to study employee\'s engagement. In statistical analysis, structural equation models and descriptive analyzes were used. Through the results found is possible to conclude that variations in BTSCC can be explained by the motivations and barriers perceived by farmers and that the Fogg Behavioral Model (FBM) used in this study can be used to explain the influence of human behaviors towards mastitis control. In addition, it is possible to conclude that dairy farmers in the study area have no positive mindset regarding the company\'s future and are unmotivated with the dairy business. Regarding the employees, they are unmotivated and there is a barrier of communication between the farmer and the employee, because the farmer does not know what her or his employees most valorize. Finally, this study showed that consulting companies focused on improving the milk quality should also pay attention to the human factor through the study of farmer mindset and employee\'s engagement.

Full textSyftet med denna C-uppsats var att undersöka om och/eller hur man kan skapa en klassrumsmiljö som befrämjar elevers motivation, prestation och utveckling i den kommunala skolan. För att få svar på denna fråga intervjuades åtta lärare i årskurs ett till fem om hur de uppfattar den fysiska miljön och hur de tror att den kan påverka elevers motivation. Vi använde oss av en kvalitativ intervju av halvstrukturerad typ samt aktuell litteratur i ämnet för att få svar på våra frågor
Studien visar att lärarna anser att den fysiska klassrumsmiljön har stor påverkan på elevernas motivation och lust att lära. I intervjuerna framhöll alla lärare att den fysiska miljön påverkar eleverna på ett eller annat sätt. Flera av lärarna betonade vikten av att eleverna trivs och känner sig välkomna i klassrummet. De anser även att det är viktigt med en mysig och hemtrevlig stämning. Resultatet på vår undersökning visar även att flera av lärarna anser att en varierande och spännande miljö är positivt för elevernas lust och motivation. Flera av lärarna anser att det finns faktorer i ett klassrum som kan bidra till att stimulera och motivera eleverna till en bra prestation. Saker som lärarna uttrycker som önskvärda i ett motiverande klassrum är fler grupprum, avskärmningsväggar, ny teknik såsom smartboard, storbildsskärm och multimedieanläggning.
Resultatet visar att majoriteten av de intervjuade lärarna framhåller att oavsett den fysiska klassrumsmiljön är det framför allt är mötet mellan lärare och elev som är det viktigaste för elevernas motivation. Slutsatsen är att lärarna anser att det inte är ekonomiska resurser eller nybyggnationer som är avgörande för att lärandemiljön ska bli den bästa – istället anser de att det är lärarens medvetenhet om miljöns påverkan på inlärningen samt elevernas möjlighet att påverka och delta i miljöns utformning som är de viktigaste faktorerna.

Full textThe purpose of this study is to identify and explore factors that influence the morale of general assistants in the Cape Winelands Education District (CWED) through a qualitative study at five schools in Worcester. General assistants are perceived as low-skilled workers due to the content of the functions they fulfill at educational institutions. The Needs Theory of Maslow, the Two-factor Theory of Herzberg and the Respect Model of Marciano provide the theoretical context for the study. A qualitative approach was followed by conducting oneon- one structured interviews with principals and general assistants at the identified schools. The goal was to determine how attitudes and behaviour of some stakeholders at the educational institution had an impact on the morale of the general assistants. Some of the main findings that resulted from interviews revealed that general assistants have been employed at schools for long periods, ranging from one to more than twenty years. The majority of the participants indicated that they were content with their salary and leave allocation. The factors that influenced their morale positively were identified as the relationship and communication with the principal, friendliness and respect by colleagues and the opportunities to grow and develop. Factors that influenced their morale adversely, were negative and disrespectful behaviour displayed by learners, disrespect by colleagues, including educators and situations of conflict.

Full textDuring half a century the society has been changed from an industrial to knowledge-driven society. Industry companies have standardized requirements and companies that works with development in production has unique qualifications. The public employment office was created during a time that each tailored to then general requirements were dominating and the adaptation average appropriate worker and appropriate work where general. When the monopoly was stopped, crew companies begun to settle down on the market that flexibly adapt themselves to carried out now specialized needs that require sophisticated adaptation average work and job seekers. Companies lose the confidence for the public employment office and politicians threaten the organization with big closure. If the public employment office can continue to exist the adaptation of the average appropriate work and appropriate job seeker must function better. This led to the essay's aim: Which differences are between the public employment office and the private employment offices with respect to change ability?
In order to reply to the aim deductive run-up and qualitative survey method with semi structured interviews on a public employment office and private employment office were used. A higher manager and two section managers were interviewed on the public employment office and a manager on Adecco with snowball selection stem to get higher results that otherwise could not have been possible.
The result showed that the public employment office is devoting too much time to administrative information and meetings that instead would give results through communicating with carried out. But the personnel is motivated and becomes encouraged to giving new proposals, but that the legislation does not permit all changes. The crew company Adecco is a profit driven company that aims itself on profitable trade groups and does not have an extensive legislation what do that changes easy can come to levels. A lot of resources are imposed carried out and the adaptation goes good.
The conclusion is drawn that the public employment office can deliver a customer value to carry out. In order to that all companies will experience a value the public employment office also needs to concentrate against companies that require university graduates.
Under ett halvt sekel har samhället förändrats från industrisamhälle till kunskapssamhälle. Industriföretag har standardiserade krav och företag som sysslar med produktionsutveckling har unika kvalifikationer. Den offentliga arbetsförmedlingen skapades under en tid som var anpassad till då generella krav var dominerande och anpassningen mellan lämplig arbetare och lämpligt arbete var generell. När monopolet avvecklades började bemanningsföretag etablera sig på marknaden som flexibelt anpassar sig till företagens numera specialiserade behov som kräver förfinad anpassning mellan arbete och arbetssökande. Företag mister förtroendet för den offentliga arbetsförmedlingen och politiker hotar organisationen med stora nedläggningar. För att den offentliga arbetsförmedlingen skall kunna fortsätta existera måste anpassningen mellan lämpligt arbete och lämplig arbetssökande fungera bättre. Allt detta ledde fram till uppsatsens syfte: Vilka skillnader finns mellan den offentliga arbetsförmedlingen och de privata arbetsförmedlingarna med avseende på förändringsförmåga?
För att svara på syftet användes deduktiv ansats och kvalitativ undersökningsmetod med semistrukturerade intervjuer på en offentlig arbetsförmedling respektive privat arbetsförmedling. En högre chef och två mellanchefer intervjuades på den offentliga arbetsförmedlingen samt en chef på Adecco med snöbollsurval för att få fram högre resultat som annars inte hade varit möjligt.
Resultatet gav att inom den offentliga arbetsförmedlingen ägnas allt för mycket åt administrativa uppgifter och möten som istället skulle ge resultat genom att kommunicera med företagen. Men personalen är motiverad och blir uppmuntrade till att ge nya förslag, men att regelverket inte tillåter alla förändringar. Bemanningsföretaget Adecco är ett vinstdrivande företag som inriktar sig på lönsamma yrkesgrupper och har inte ett omfattande regelverk vilket gör att förändringar lätt kan komma till stånd. Mycket resurser läggs på företagen och anpassningen går bra.
Slutsatsen dras att den offentliga arbetsförmedlingen kan leverera ett kundvärde till företagen. För att alla företag skall uppleva ett värde behöver den offentliga arbetsförmedlingen även inrikta sig mot företag som kräver akademiker.

Full textBackground: In recent decades, social policy decisions have been characterized by a determination that people with mental disabilities should live in society with others, in a community. However, it turns out that many people are outside society's community and often lack employment. Having employment can be a crucial factor that not only enables isolation to be broken but also that the path to recovery from mental illness can begin. Being part of a context proves to have a positive effect on the recovery process that helps people with mental disabilities live a satisfying life despite never becoming completely free from symptom.Purpose: The purpose of this study has been to investigate the importance of the fountain house for the members' recovery process. The purpose has also been to highlight whether there are experiences of both promotion and preventive factors in the fountain house for members' recovery.Method: Five semi-structured interviews with members of the fountain house who have experience of personal recovery have been conducted and analyzed thematically.Result: The study shows that the fountain house is important for the members' recovery process. The fountain house is experienced by several of the participants in the study as a contributing factor to their recovery. The study also shows that there may be problems at the fountain house that affect the social relations between the members. Furthermore, it is emphasized that the recovery process consists of advances and reversals, but having a place you can go contributes to more successes than adversities.

Full textThis study examined if there are any correlation between school performance and upbringing in two countries with different cultures. The upbringing was represented by Maslow's hierarchy of needs that through five categories explains the human needs. The way students who participaded responded on questions based on Maslow's theory gave an indication on how their upbringing was. To know the students grades they were asked about their past school preformance in three subjects english, math and their native language. Data was collected with a questionnarie with 15 questions based on Maslow's steps on the hiarchy of needs. This study wanted to examine similarites and differences between these two countries to see if Maslow's theory correspond to reality regardless of what gruop that is examined and therefore be able to ascertain if there is something the countries can do to raise their students preformance. The results showed that there where differances in both upbringing and school performance. Maslow's theory explains this to adegree, but that was only the case in Thailand, it is some unknown variable that this study did not catch that seems to affect swedish students grades

Full textThe concept of disability is characterized by limitations on activities and restrictions on participation in society of people under contextual influences. Thus it comprises a dynamic interaction between disability itself, functionality and contextual factors, causing impact on quality of life in different levels, which in turn can lead to different perceptions of human needs to be met. Among the instruments used to assess the degree of incapacity of the person we can mention the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). In turn, the theory of Maslow\'s human motivation is widely known for trying to explain human needs according to a hierarchical model. The aim of this dissertation is to identify whether human needs, as explained by Maslow\'s theory, of people with disability are been properly evaluated by the commonly used measure instruments like FIM and ICF. A review of literature was performed and the Ground Theory Method was then applied to compare FIM, ICF and Maslow\'s theory of human motivation. As results, the vast majority of FIM domains correspond to the ability to execute activities demanded by physiological, safety and some aspects of belongingness and love needs but none of them can be correlated to the fields of esteem and self-actualization. On the other hand, the ICF provides specific elements for all the domains but self-actualization, where the elements are more subjective and variable. So, we can conclude that the ICF can evaluate in a better way whether the human needs of people with disability are been fulfilled and thus can be used for monitoring the evolution necessary to meet specific needs of people with disability

Full textThe purpose of the thesis was to gain a greater understanding of what motivates women to take up a position as a squad commander, soldier, or sailor (GSS) in the Swedish Armed Forces. The study provides a piece of the puzzle on what motivates women to take up employment, which is important as the Armed Forces is facing personnel growth while the agency today does not reach the stated goals in the mentioned personnel category. In the study, we can see that women take a job as they are primarily looking for a profession that can give them opportunities for self-realization, a connection with a sense of belonging and community. These driving forces have been explained and reported with the help of motivation theories. The characteristic of the study is that women's motivation to take up employment as GSS has not been studied before. As no clear differences between theories and the empirical data of the study have been demonstrated, we see that there are other factors that must be affected if more women are to take a job as GSS. The Armed Forces, and perhaps also society at large, must highlight the role of the Armed Forces and clarify the possibilities serving within the authority as GSS. Influencing an individual's willingness to take up employment is difficult but disseminating enlightening information about positions to the target group of young women is an important factor that can increase the influx of women into GSS positions. At the same time, we see in the study that it would be beneficial to examine the target group's knowledge regarding professions in the Swedish Armed Forces and then GSS in particular. Recommendations to the Armed Forces are to study why developed goals are not achieved but even more importantly, review and edit the goals based on the target group's interest to achievable levels, focusing on the conditions of the population. Information activities within the framework of the basic training must continue to be carried out in a coordinated manner. The study shows that these information efforts have a good effect and should be developed as the Swedish Armed Forces is facing a growth where the entire population has a significant role as a recruitment basis to realize this.
