More than just the money? : Young adults in the retail industry and their perceived work motivation (English)
Abstract [sv]

Studiens syfte var att undersöka vad som upplevs motiverande i arbetslivet hos unga vuxna inom handel. För att uppnå en djupare förståelse för upplevelsen av arbetsmotivation användes en kvalitativ metod med sju semistrukturerade intervjuer som analyserades genom induktiv tematisk analys. Analysen genererade sex huvudteman och fyra underteman; Utvecklingsmöjligheter med undertemat Involverade chefer, Lön, Den sociala kontakten med underteman Horisontell kontakt och Vertikal kontakt, Att gilla det man gör, Prestera bra med undertemat Bekräftelse samt Eget ansvar. Resultatet gav en inblick i vad som motiverar unga vuxna inom handel och kan bidra med kunskap kring vad arbetsgivare kan behöva arbeta med för att stärka yngre medarbetares arbetsmotivation.
