Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund. Individer i dagens samhälle behöver finna en balans mellan sina olika roller inom arbetslivet och privatlivet. Denna balans konkurrerar om individens tid och resurser, vilket kan vara krävande för en individ att lyckas balansera mellan. Forskningen visar att en individs balans mellan sina olika roller tenderar att samverka med individens motivation på arbetsplatsen. Syftet med studien är därmed att undersöka sambandet mellan work-life balance och medarbetarnas upplevda motivation i arbetet.

Material och metod. Studien består av en kvantitativ metod, där ett bekvämlighetsurval har använts. En enkät användes för datainsamlingen, där 296 respondenter deltog. De instrument som har använts för att undersöka sambandet är WEIMS-instrumentet och WLB-scale. För att kontrollera att sambandet mellan våra huvudvariabler kvarstod mot kontrollvariablerna, har en multipel regressionsanalys använts. I denna analys genomfördes bootstrapping med 5000 iterationer.

Resultat. Studien fann ett positivt samband mellan work-life balance och motivation (r = .14, p < .001), när sambandet kontrollerades för våra signifikanta kontrollvariabler: stress, hälsotillstånd och sömn.

Slutsats. Work-life balance och medarbetarnas upplevda motivation är två faktorer som samspelar med varandra. Vidare har work-life balance och motivation också visat sig samverka med individens vilja till att lämna arbetsplatsen.

Abstract [en]

Background. Individuals in today's society need to find a balance between their various roles in the workplace and personal life. This balance competes for an individual's time and resources, which can be demanding for them to successfully juggle. Research shows that an individual's balance between their various roles tends to interact with their motivation at work. The purpose of this study is thus to examine the relationship between work-life balance and employees' perceived motivation in the workplace.

Materials and Methods. The study employs a quantitative method, using convenience sampling. A questionnaire was used for data collection, with 296 respondents participating. The instruments used to investigate the relationship are the WEIMS instrument and the WLB-scale. To control for the persistence of the relationship between our main variables against the control variables, a multiple regression analysis was employed. In this analysis, bootstrapping was performed with 5000 iterations.

Results. The study found a positive correlation between work-life balance and motivation (r = .14, p < .001) when the relationship was controlled for our significant control variables: stress, health condition, and sleep.

Conclusion. Work-life balance and employees' perceived motivation are two factors that interact with each other. Furthermore, work-life balance and motivation have also been found to interact with an individual's intention to leave the workplace
