Syftet med denna studie var att ta reda på om rollförväntningar, social interaktion samt demografisk data kunde predicera om brevbärare drivs av inre eller yttre motivation. Ytterligare ett syfte var att ta reda på om dessa faktorer kunde förklara någon unik varians i den yttre eller inre motivationen. En enkät sändes till 120 brevbärare på 10 olika kontor och svarsfrekvensen var 80 procent. 28 peThe purpose with this study was to explore if role expectance, social interaction and demographic data could predict whether a person derives from extrinsic or intrinsic motivation.

Though SS is a broad and often diffuse concept, there are certain guiding principles which are generally agreed on. Based on these principles, it has been seen if Critical Realism (CR) could be an appropriate meta-theory for SS. The approach used is therefore pri
I Sverige uppskattas den offentliga upphandlingen omsätta omkring 500 miljoner kronor per år. Dessa stora ekonomiska värden ger det offentliga makt att påverka privata aktörer och gör att upphandling kan bli ett viktigt politiskt styrmedel. I vilken utsträckning socialpolitiska målsättningar ska kunna främjas genom offentlig upphandling har dock varit föremål för diskussion.
