We have limited evidence ofquality work withinkindergartens aiming to reduce sickness absence and increase individual and collective performances. In this study we develop an intervention with the overall aim ofincreasing employee coping, quality work, and reducing sickness absence inkindergartens. This is done by exploring kindergarten employee's understanding ofquality work, what motivates them intheir work, and, necessary feedback withinthe work environment forincreased motivation. The starting point for our intervention is that employees inkindergartens experience a lack of positive feedback on their work effort. Thekindergarten staff has a wide range of work tasks; direct children-orientated work, practical tasks, and parental follow up. Fe edback on an individual's competence and competence development in providing quality care through these tasks is unsystematic. Feedback could be the smile from a child, theattention ofthe management, or feedback from a parent. We believe that this type of unsystematic feedback is not sufficient. Our intervention will provide a system for positive feedback by 1) developing goals and measures ofqualityof care, 2) identifying important behaviours forqualityof work, and 3) developing an intervention pro viding employees positive feedback on these behaviours ina self-regulatory way based on interactive software. Our hypothesis is that continuous positive feedback will increase motivation, work satisfaction and feelings of self-efficacy and thereby change work performance and reduce sickness absence. We have chosen kindergartens as the field for our feedback intervention as the sickness absence in this sector is higher than 12 %. The high sick leave is a reason for concern, as this is an additional challe nge ina sector that is already struggling with recruitments, turnover and increased demands as work withinkindergartens provide a crucial foundation for children's development and continuous learning later on.
