Abstract [en]

It is being built at an ever-increasing pace at the same time as there is a shortage of skills in theconstruction industry. As construction companies have difficulty finding competent staff,attraction, recruitment and the introduction of new employees will be a crucial issue forcompanies. This report, which is carried out together with JM AB, examines crucial factors fora good introduction of a newly hired, newly graduated supervisor. In addition, it is examinedwhat three different categories of employees consider to be important in a good introduction andwhether their opinions agree or not.The empirical part of the report consists of an interview and a survey. During the interview, itappeared that JM works to develop its leaders and create a sustainable working life and that therespondent has seen the results of a good introduction in one of JM's regions. During the survey,supervisors, site managers and business unit managers were asked to rank what is important inan introduction of a newly graduated, newly hired supervisor. It emerged that there is a relativelylarge spread, both within each group and in a comparison of the groups, regarding what isconsidered important in a good introduction.Together with the empirical part, a literature study has been carried out where two theories,Learning and Self-Determination Theory, have been studied and linked to how they cancontribute to improving an introduction.The study showed that a good introduction has a positive impact on the new employee's wellbeingand performance and contributes to the new employee becoming part of the communitymore quickly. All three groups of employees considered it important that the workplace isestablished on arrival and with reoccurring supervision meetings.
