The purpose of this thesis was to find out how private a security case company’s reception guarding managers view their knowledge, skills and overall circumstances to handle their job. The reason for this study is that the people, the security guards, are the largest resource of the case company studied. The work done by the security guards provides the greatest profit. Investing in the managers insures that the company itself is functioning efficiently. It is important for the company to know that their managers are capable of handling the work; they have the tools, and the men-tal strength to perform.
The theoretical framework provides through the selected analysis method, theme analysis, the information about managerial work, work well-being and company culture. The three themes that were chosen are self-efficacy, tools to perform, and company commitment. These were chosen to support the idea of by valuing and investing in people where from the company can benefit.
Two surveys were used to gather information. The primary survey (a survey for the managers) was conducted by the author which was made from the basis of the secondary data, the Work Satisfaction Survey for Officers, conducted by the case company’s Human Resources department. The findings showed that the managers are able to handle the responsibilities set to them with their skills and knowledge, however, the amount of the workload seems to be too much.
