2018
Masteroppgave økonomi og administrasjon BE501 - Universitetet i Agder 2018 På bakgrunn av kritikken av tradisjonell økonomistyring har fått de siste årene, og økte krav til arbeidstakers initiativ i problemløsning i mange virksomheter, ønsket jeg å se nærmere på hvordan styringssystemer, særlig kontrollsystemer kan påvirke motivasjon, tillit og kvalitet på arbeidsutførelse i organisasjoner. Videre ønsket jeg også å se nærmere på om nyere styringsteorier som Beyond Budgeting kan være et bedre alternativ. Temaet for oppgaven er derfor å undersøke hvordan ansatte i virksomheter innenfor finansielle tjenester opplever styringssystemet i den organisasjonen de jobber i, og hvordan de vurderer uli…

Master's thesis Business Administration BE501 - University of Agder 2019 Project-based work is said to foster dynamic environments for innovation and learning, but it can also make the employees vulnerable, exhausted and reduce their performance.

Firstborns buy better for the greater good: Birth order differences in green consumption values
2022
Despite multiple studies on the role of birth order in shaping human personality, marketing literature has largely neglected its role in shaping consumer behavior. We conducted a high-powered birth-order study on several consumption-related measures (Nmain analyses = 1358), which consistently enabled us to detect effect sizes even smaller than d = 0.20 with a power of 0.90. Participants filled out scales measuring susceptibility to normative interpersonal influence, the need for uniqueness, and the tendency to express the value of environmental protection through purchases and consumption behaviors. At a general level, we did not find any support for the notion that firstborns (vs. laterbor…
Levels and change in autonomous and controlled work motivation in older workers—The role of proximity to retirement and sense of community at work
2021
Previous studies suggest a preretirement disengagement process from work, which includes reduced work motivation. In this study, we investigated changes in autonomous and controlled work motivation over two years among participants of the Health, Aging and Retirement Transition in Sweden (HEARTS) study. We found stability in both types of motivation; however, those who retired after the study period showed more distinct declines in autonomous motivation. A stronger sense of community at work was related to level, but not change in autonomous motivation. Intra-individual fluctuations in the expected retirement age did not predict work motivation or vice versa. Future studies are needed to be…
Human-Animal Relationships in Supported Housing: Animal Atmospheres for Mental Health Recovery
2021
Being in a relationship with an animal can promote the well-being of people. For many individuals, this usually takes place at home. This study reports about homes for people with mental health problems (with or without co-occurring substance use), who live in supported housing operated by public landlords, entailing tenancies that are usually stricter regarding their pet policies than ordinary homes. We thus addressed the following research questions through ethnographic fieldwork at seven distinct places: which types of human–animal relationships occur in supported housing, and how do they affect the tenants? We analyzed the collected data informed by the Grounded Theory approach and foun…
