How leaders motivate their employees (English)
Abstract [sv]

I den här uppsatsen kommer jag förklara med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer hur chefer i den offentliga verksamheten motiverar sina anställda. Med hjälp av teorin som behandlar forskning om motivation och andra motivationsfaktorer som till exempel belöningssystem och feedback att visa i analysen vad arbetsledares bästa sätt att motivera sina anställda. Detta kommer sedan avslutas med en slutdiskussion där jag kommer fram till vilka slutsatser somjag kommit fram till.

Slutsatsen visar att chefer i de offentliga verksamheterna mycket förlitar sig på humana relationer med sina anställda. Man menade att man har gått ifrån New public management-eran och nu satsar det istället mer på tätare relationer med anställda. De visar även att belöningssystem inte har en stor plats i offentliga verksamheter. Det beror för det första på att man inte har råd med belöningssystem, men även att man tycker det inte leder till ökad motivation. En stor majoritet av cheferna argumenterade istället för feedback och att det är en arbetsledares största verktyg för ökad motivation.

Abstract [en]

This study is about motivation and how leaders in public management motivate their employees. This essay is mainly done to show what kind of leaders. In this essay I will explain with the help of qualitative interviews how managers in the public sector motivates their employees. With the help of the theory that deals with research on motivation and other motivators such as reward systems and feedback to display in the analysis what the supervisor's the best way to motivate their employees. This will then conclude with a final discussion where I come to the conclusions that I have reached.

The conclusion shows that managers in government activities much rely on human relationships with their employees. They argued that it is gone from New Public Management era and are now focusing instead on closer relations with employees. They also show that the reward system does not have a big place in the public sector. It depends firstly on not afford reward system, but also because they think it does not lead to increased motivation. A large majority of the managers argued instead for feedback that there is a supervisor's main tool for increased motivation.
