How organizational culture and motivational factors can affect efficiency in self-organizing companies (English)
Abstract [sv]

I dagens organisationer blir teamarbete allt vanligare för att uppnå dem organisatoriska målen. Denna decentralisering formas på grund av den komplexitet som finns i vissa arbetsuppgifter, sådana uppgifter som enskilda medarbetare inte har kunskaperna till. Ofta behövs det flera kompetensområden för att slutföra ett projekt eller uppnå ett organisatoriskt mål. Att arbeta i team kan då vara en lösning (Courtney, Navarro, & O'Hare, 2007). Detta sätt att arbeta på kan också gynna kreativitet, flexibilitet och produktivitet (Sutherland & Schwaber, 2016).

Detta är en kvalitativ studie där intervjuer genomförs med medlemmar i två självorganiserande företag. Under den teoretiska referensramen beskrivs de modeller som senare utgör en tolkningsmodell för hur motivation, organisationskultur och effektivitet kan samspela i ett självorganiserade företag. Syftet med denna uppsats är att få reda på hur motivationsfaktorer och kulturfaktorer kan påverka effektiviteten i självorganiserande team.

Studien visar på att en välfungerande kommunikation och ett starkt samarbete är viktiga faktorer för att ett team ska kunna vara effektivt. Om det uppstår störningar exempelvis i form av konkurrens inom organisationen eller brister i samarbetet kan detta påverka effektiviteten oerhört negativt. Studien indikerar även att kompetens är en av de största motivationsfaktorerna inom självorganiserande team.

Abstract [en]

In today’s organizations teamwork is becoming more common to achieve organizational goals. This decentralization is formed because of the complexity that exists in certain tasks, tasks hat individual employees do not have the knowledge in. Often several areas of competence are needed to complete a project or achieve an organizational goal. Working in team can then be a solution (Courtney, Navarro, & O'Hare, 2007). This way of working can also promote creativity, flexibility and productivity (Sutherland & Schwaber, 2016).

This is a qualitative study where interviews with members of two self-organizing companies are conducted. The theoretical framework describes the models that later will constitute an interpretational model for how motivation, organizational culture and efficiency can interact in as self-organized company. The purpose of this paper is to find out how motivational factors and cultural factors can influence the effectiveness in self-organized teams.

This study shows that a well-functioning communication and a strong collaboration are important factors for a team to be effective. If there are disruptions, for example in the form of competition within the organization or lack of cooperation, this can have a negative impact of efficiency. This study also indicates that competence is one of the biggest motivational factors within self-organizing teams.
