Denna kvantitativa studie har haft som syfte att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan olika arbetsplatsbeskrivande variabler, där ibland upplevt instrumentellt stöd, upplevda krav, upplevd kontroll och rollkonflikt under en rekryteringsprocess. Undersökningen har genomförts inom industriverksamheter, rederi, IT konsult bolag samt offentlig verksamhet. Enkäten som användes var baserad på QPS Nordic 34+ samt ASK. Respondenterna bestod av chefer på mellannivå. Vid regressionsanalys har det instrumentella stödet varit den beroende variabeln, då HR-avdelningen antagits kunna ge sådant stöd. Resultatet visade att det fanns signifikanta samband mellan instrumentellt stöd och kvantitativa krav, rollkonflikt samt stöd från närmaste chef. Reliabiliteten i studien har varit låg för vissa variabler i undersökningen vilket gjort att resultaten inte är fullt pålitliga

This quantitative study had the aim to investigate whether there is a correlation between workplace descriptive variables, which are experienced instrumental support, perceived demands, perceived control and role conflict during the recruiting process. The survey was conducted in industry, shipping, IT consulting companies and the public sector. The questionnaire was based on the QPS Nordic 34 + and ASK. The respondents comprised of middle managers. Of the respondents, 28 were men and 21 were women. Using regressions analyses, instrumental support was the dependent variable, because the HR department is assumed to provide such support. The results showed that there were significant relationships between instrumental support and quantitative demands, role conflict, and support from managers. The reliability of the study was low for some variables in the survey which generated the results are not fully reliable
