Psykologiska faktorers effekt och samband med framgång i företag : Hur arbetsgivarens fokus på psykologiska faktorer i en organisation kan leda till framgång

Sammanfattning: Employees have begun to be seen as the most important resource for many companies and, according to researchers, the focus on human capital is expected to be even greater in the future. The purpose of the study was to investigate which organizational psychological factors that had the strongest effect and connection with success. The factors studied were leadership, skills development, freedom, pride and corporate culture. All 79 participants, from five different companies, answered the survey with questions regarding these five factors. Success was studied from four perspectives: financial profitability, staff turnover, employees' experience of focusing on human capital in the company and their experience of success in comparison with other companies in the same industry. Stepwise multiple regression was used as a statistical analysis in the study and the result showed that the factor of corporate culture was the one that consistently had the greatest effect on all of the dependent variables. On a shared second place was the variables competence development and freedom. All correlations were significant except for success based on economic profitability where the effects were too low to become significant.
