Incentive system based on customer satisfaction : A case study of an organization in the banking and insurance industry (English)
Abstract [sv]

Kundnöjdhet är ett icke-finansiellt prestationsmått. Det kan kopplas till ett belöningssystem för att motivera och vägleda medarbetare samt främja en ökad ansträngning att skapa nöjdare kunder. Ytterligare forskning behövs kring vad som talar för respektive mot att denna koppling fungerar för att motivera medarbetare. Syftet med denna studie är därmed att skapa kunskap om hur medarbetare blir motiverade av att koppla kundnöjdhet till ett belöningssystem. Därför har en kvalitativ fallstudie genomförts där tio intervjuer med medarbetare på en organisation inom bank- och försäkringsbranschen utförts. Från tidigare forskning har det identifierats åtta faktorer som behövs för att skapa ett motiverande belöningssystem. Dessa är; reliabilitet, tydlighet, rättvisa, möjlighet till påverkan, kunskapsnivå, tätare mätpunkter, betydelsefull belöning och motiverande nivå. Av studien framkom det att, när kundnöjdhet mäts leder det till en ökad motivation att få nöjdare kunder. Dessutom ledde belöningssystemets uppbyggnad via den kollektiva belöningen till att medarbetare kände sig lika värdefulla vilket kan bidra till att skapa motivation. Dock upplevdes kundbedömningarna inte alltid som rättvisa och speglade inte medarbetarnas arbetsinsats och rättvisa verkar vara en viktig faktor för att skapa ett motiverande belöningssystem. De slutsatser som framkommit är att om ett belöningssystem inte innefattar de ovan nämnda kriterier som behövs för att få en motiverande effekt, kan belöningssystemet få en underordnad betydelse. Har ett belöningssystem inte en motiverande effekt på medarbetare kommer det inte heller driva oönskade effekter som manipulation och kortsiktighet som annars är möjliga. Även om kundnöjdhetsmätningen är icke reliabel och kundbedömningar kan upplevas som subjektiva och orättvisa, kan belöningssystemet i sin helhet ändå upplevas som rättvist och därmed motiverande.

Abstract [en]

Customer satisfaction is a non-financial performance measurement that can be connected to an incentive system to motivate and direct employees, as well as drive and increase efforts to create a higher customer satisfaction. More research is needed on what speaks for and against this connection to motivate employees. The purpose of this study is to create knowledge about employees being motivated by connecting customer satisfaction to an incentive system. Therefore, a qualitative case study was conducted in which ten interviews with employees from an organization within the banking and insurance industry. From previous research eight factors has been identified that are needed to create a motivational incentive system. These are; reliability, distinctness, justice, opportunity to influence, knowledge, more frequent measuring points, significant reward and motivational level. The study shows that customer satisfaction led to an increased motivation to get more satisfied customers. In addition, the structure of the incentive system, through the collective reward, led to everyone feeling valuable which can help to create motivation. However, customer assessments were not always perceived as fair and did not reflect employees' performance and justice seems to be an important factor in creating a motivational incentive system. The conclusions reached are that measuring customer satisfaction has a motivating effect on employees to create more satisfied customers. If an incentive system is not based on the criteria above which are required to have a motivating effect, the incentive system will have minor importance. If an incentive system does not have a motivating effect on employees, it will neither drive the undesirable effects at the employees such as manipulation or act myopically which otherwise are possible. Although the customer satisfaction measurement is not reliable and the customer satisfaction assessments is sometimes perceived as subjective and unfair, the incentive system can be perceived as fair and thus motivating.
