Reinforcing Work Motivation J ÖNKÖPING I NTERNATIONAL B USINESS S CHOOL JÖNKÖPING UNIVERSITY Reinforcing Work Motivation - a perception study of ten of Sweden’s most successful and acknowledged leaders Master thesis within business administration Authors ©: Alexander Hall Niklas Nyman Tutor: Tomas Müllern Jönköping: September 2004 Master thesis within Business Administration Title: Reinforcing Work Motivation – a perception study of ten of Sweden’s most successful and acknowledged leaders Authors: Alexander Hall Niklas Nyman Tutor: Tomas Müllern Date: 2004-09-23 Subject terms: Work motivation, Work encouragement, Incentives, Intrinsic, Extrinsic, Rewards, Compensation, Praise, Delegation, Informa- tion-sharing, Communication, Productivity, Frontline Abstract Problem In pace with a noticeably fiercer global competition and an in- creased customer awareness, today’s organizations are faced with vast requirements for higher productivity and stronger customer- orientation. This transformation has denoted that human re- sources have become more and more accentuated, and a consen- sus has grown for the true power embraced within them. In Sweden, some few prominent leaders have distinguished them- selves by being highly successful in reinforcing employee motiva- tion, and their knowledge and experiences are priceless in the pursuit of utilizing the full potential of the workforce. Purpose The purpose with this thesis is to study how ten of Sweden’s most successful and acknowledged leaders view and work with employee motivation and critically examine their standpoints. The purpose is furthermore to exemplify how other leaders can strengthen employee motivation through adapting these motiva- tional suggestions. Method Qualitative cross-sectional interviews were conducted for the empirical research, holding a hermeneutic and inductive research approach. Respondents The respondent pool is comprised by both commercial leaders, as well as leaders from the world of sports. They range from be- ing managers over purely service-focused organizations, to being founders of innovative product-producing organizations. Theories The major areas, which are touched upon are; general work mo- tivation, intrinsic/extrinsic motivation, communication, and lastly empowerment, responsibility and participation. Conclusions Four major areas influence employee motivation (The Society and Social Surroundings, The Organization and Business Envi- ronment, The Manager and The Employee). This is visualized in the “Four-Factor Model”. Acknowledgements We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our respondents for Their benevolence and kind assistance to our master thesis. We wish You all good luck also in the future.

    SYSSLINGEN Medlemsblad 3, 2014 Årgång 21 Ordföranden har ordet Säg den glädje som varar beständigt! När ni läser detta är snart denna fantastiska sommar slut. Lagom till midsommar avslutades mitt arbete med nya dödskivan, så jag kunde med gott samvete ägna mig åt att besöka ÅF Offshore Race inne på Skeppsholmen. Det är en fantastisk upplevelse att se alla dessa segelbåtar mitt inne i Stockholm. Särskild imponerande är den s k ”Antikrundan” med Salén Ballad, Wallenbergs Regina m fl fina mahognybåtar. Veckan därpå slog värmen till och jag har tillbringat en stor del av sommaren på Trovillestranden i Sandhamn. Jag har badat så mycket att jag börjar bli rädd att få simhud mellan tårna. Nu är det dags att återvända till verkligheten: lördagen den 16 augusti medverkade vår förening vid skärgårdsmarkanden i Vaxholm, den 29-31 augusti är det dags för släktforskardagarna i Karlstad och lördagen den 6 september kommer vi att sitta släktforskarjour på Vaxholms stadsbibliotek un- der en Kulturdag som kommer att arrangeras i Vaxholm. För övrigt fortsätter vi med vår jourverk- samhet på biblioteken i Vaxholm och Åkersberga varje lördag kl 11-13. Välkomna till en ny släktforskarhöst!

  • Millicom International Cellular S.A. Tele2 Ab
    MILLICOM INTERNATIONAL CELLULAR S.A. TELE2 AB FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 31, 2001 MILLICOM INTERNATIONAL CELLULAR AND TELE2 AB CONFIRM DISCUSSIONS REGARDING THE POSSIBLE SALE OF MILLICOM’S RUSSIAN ASSETS TO TELE2 New York, Stockholm and Luxembourg – October 31, 2001 – Millicom International Cellular S.A (“MIC”) (Nasdaq Stock Market: MICC) and Tele2 AB (“Tele2”) (Nasdaq Stock Market: TLTOA and TLTOB and Stockhomsbörsen: TEL2A and TEL2B) today confirm, in response to questions raised by investors, that discussions between Tele2 AB and MIC are ongoing regarding the possible sale of MIC’s Russian cellular telephony assets to Tele2. MIC sold its cellular telephony business in Estonia to Tele2 in 1998. During these negotiations the two parties discussed the sale of MIC’s Russian assets but, at that time, decided not to proceed as Tele2 wished first to focus on building its Baltic operations. Tele2’s investment in the Baltics has been very successful and now the possible expansion into Russia is a logical step, which would bring a total of 124,000 proportional subscribers. Lars-Johan Jarnheimer, CEO of Tele2 AB said: “It is no secret that our Scandinavian competitors have made clear their intentions to develop mobile businesses in Russia to leverage on the increasing opportunities in this market, Telia combining with Sonera and Telenor through Vimpelcom. We believe that the opportunity to purchase MIC’s Russian assets is a natural step in order to establish our position in this growth market following on from our successes in the Baltics.” MIC and Tele2 have appointed Bank of America and Carnegie respectively as advisors.
