Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka sambandet mellan arbetsvärderingar, intentionen att lämna sin arbetsplats samt hur ålder modererar detta samband. Arbetsvärderingar mättes genom fyra dimensioner; arbetsrelationer, inflytande och avancemang, ekonomiska villkor och arbetsvillkor samt självständighet och användningen av färdigheter, med hjälp av mätinstrumentet Work Values Questionnaire (WVQ) som bestod av 37 frågor. Intentionen att lämna mättes med hjälp av Turnover Intention Three Item Scale (TI) och bestod av 3 frågor. Undersökningen hade en tvärsnittsdesign där data samlades in via en digital enkät, genom sociala medier. En multipel regressionsanalys genomfördes mellan arbetsvärderingarnas fyra dimensionerna och intentionen att lämna. Goda arbetsrelationer hade ett negativt samband med intentionen att lämna, som tyder på att arbetsrelationer kan vara en viktig aspekt för att minska arbetstagares intention att lämna sitt arbete. En moderationsanalys genomfördes för att undersöka om ålder modererar på sambandet. Resultatet visade att det inte fanns någon signifikant modererande effekt av ålder, vilket innebär att sambandet såg likadant ut oavsett ålder.

Abstract [en]

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between work values, intention to leave the workplace and how age moderates this connection. Work values were measured through four dimensions; work relationship, influence and advancement, economic conditions and working conditions and autonomy and use of skills, with help from the measurement Work Values Questionnaire (WVQ) that consisted of 37 questions. Intention to leave was measured with help from Turnover Intention Three Item Scale (TI) and consisted of 3 questions. The survey had a cross-sectional design where data was collected via a digital survey, through social media. A multiple regression analysis was conducted between work values four dimensions and intention to leave. Good working relationships had a negative connection with intention to leave, which suggests that work relationships can be an important aspect to reduce employee's intention to leave their job. The conclusion is that work relationships can be a crucial factor in reducing employee's intention to leave their workplace. A moderation analysis was conducted to examine whether age moderates on the connection. The outcome showed that there was no significant moderating effect of age, meaning that the relationship was the same regardless of age.
