The role of distributive justice in intrinsic and extrinsic work motivation (English)
Abstract [sv]
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka relationen mellan upplevd distributiv rättvisa och intern respektive extern arbetsmotivation, när bakgrundsvariablerna kön, ålder och anställningstid kontrolleras. En kvantitativ studie genomfördes där en onlineenkät skickades ut via sociala medier. Enkäten skapades utifrån Colquitt´s (2001) mätverktyg om distributiv rättvisa och The Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scale (WEIMS) som mätte arbetsmotivation. Det var totalt 78 enkätsvar och i SPSS analyserades datan genom hierarkiska regressionsanalyser. Resultatet visade att distributiv rättvisa förklarade en signifikant del av variansen i intern arbetsmotivation och extern arbetsmotivation exklusive amotivation. Bakgrundsvariabeln kön visades förklara en signifikant del av variansen i extern arbetsmotivation, där männen hade ett högre medelvärde än kvinnorna.
Abstract [en]
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between perceived distributive justice and intrinsic respectively extrinsic work motivation, when the control variables gender, age and length of employment are controlled. A quantitative study was conducted in which an online survey was sent out via social media. The survey was created based on Colquitt´s (2001) measuring instrument on distributive justice and The Work Extrinsic and Instrinsic Motivation Scale (WEIMS) which measured work motivation. There were a total of 78 survey answers and in SPSS the data was analyzed through hierarchical regression analyses. The result showed that distributive justice explained a significant part of the variance in intrinsic work motivation and extrinsic work motivation excluding amotivation. The control variabel gender was shown to explain a significant part of the variance in extrinsic work motivation, where the men had a higher mean value than the women.
