Telework, the new normal : The impact of telework on work motivation & the balance between work and private life (English)
Abstract [sv]

Problembakgrund: I början av år 2020 började viruset Covid-19 spridas runt om i världen och i mars år 2020 klargjorde världshälsoorganisationen att vi befinner oss i en pandemi. Allt fler organisationer började med distansarbete som ett sätt att ta sitt ansvar för att försöka minska smittspridningen på arbetsplatser. Svårigheter kan uppstå med att motivera arbetstagare under den rådande situationen. Arbetsmotivationen samt distansarbetet kan komma att påverka både chefer och medarbetares balans mellan arbetsliv och privatliv.

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att beskriva och analysera hur chefer och medarbetarnas arbetsmotivation påverkats av distansarbetet samt hur de hanterar balansen mellan privatliv och arbetsliv.

Metod: Studien är baserad på en kvantitativ metod med en deduktiv ansats. Datainsamlingen har skett genom en webbaserad enkätundersökning besvarad av 219 st respondenter som arbetar på distans.

Resultat: Distansarbetet har mestadels en positiv påverkan på arbetsmotivationen hos chefer och medarbetare som har deltagit i denna enkätstudie. Balansen mellan arbetsliv och privatliv har fungerat bra för många av de som arbetar på distans. Gränsen mellan privatlivet och arbetslivet kan lätt bli suddig när arbetstagare arbetar hemifrån. Majoriteten ansåg att en variation mellan att arbeta på arbetsplatsen och hemifrån skulle vara mest optimalt.

Abstract [en]

Problem: In the beginning of 2020, the Covid-19 virus began to spread around the world and in March 2020 the World Health Organization made it clear that we are in a pandemic. More and more organizations started with teleworking as a way of taking responsibility and trying to reduce the spread of infection in workplaces. It can be difficult for a company to motivate employees, especially in the current situation, work motivation and teleworking can affect both managers and employees' balance between work and private life.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate how work motivation is affected by telework and how workers who work remotely handle the balance between private life and work life.

Method: The study is based on a quantitative method with a deductive approach. The method that was used was a web-based survey answered by 219 respondents who work remotely.

Results: Teleworking has mostly a positive impact on the work motivation of managers and employees who have participated in this survey. The balance between work and private life has worked well for many of those who work remotely. The boundary between private life and working life can easily become blurred when managers and employees work from home. The majority considered that a variation between working in the workplace and away from home would be most optimal.
