| Abstract: | This paper presents data from a project onmoral motivation. It is more pragmaticallyframed on what it is that attracts students to`untrendy' fields and makes them want to do agood job. As the value structure in societychanges and the battle for students hardens,there is a growing concern that fields crucialto the development of society may lose out inthe competition for the best students. Amongthe fields that have received attention inthese debates are nursing and social work. Inpart, this is due to the fact that these fieldshave already experienced a decline inapplicants which merits concern, and in partdue to the image these studiesproject. In the debate on intake qualitiesfocus has primarily been on the academicquality of the students, and less on themotivational qualities that work of this typeimplies. The data presented here highlightsqualities related to this dimension ofprofessional work. |
