Studiens syfte var att undersöka om det fanns ett samband mellan variabler som kan påverka upplevd stress vid distansarbete. Frågeställningar som berördes var om det fanns samband mellan stress och variablerna; kvantitativa krav, arbetstempo, inflytande, erkännande, socialt stöd från överordnade och socialt stöd från kollegor samt vilken av variablerna som påverkade upplevd stress i högst grad. Studien undersökte även om det fanns skillnad i upplevd stress mellan kvinna och man samt om det fanns skillnad mellan ovan nämnda variabler gällande könen. Studien hade en kvantitativ ansats och metoden som användes var enkätundersökning där frågorna grundades på Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ). Totalt antal respondenter var 62; av dessa var 44 kvinnor och 18 män. Åldersspannet var 26–66 år (M= 42.6, SD=9.1). Av enkätundersökningen framkom att det fanns signifikant korrelation mellan upplevd stress och kvantitativa krav samt arbetstempo. Gällande stress fanns ingen skillnad mellan kvinna och man, dock visade resultatet att viss skillnad fanns bland övriga variabler som ingår i studien. Studien visade även att det fanns skillnad i vilken variabel som påverkade upplevd stress i högst grad mellan könen. Utifrån resultaten kunde slutsatsen dras att delar av studien går att generalisera till befolkningen. / The purpose of the study was to investigate whether there was a correlation between variables that can affect perceived stress when working at distance. Questions that were addressed was whether there was correlation between stress and the variables; quantitative demands, work pace, influence, recognition, social support from supervisor and social support from colleagues and which of the variables influenced perceived stress to the highest degree. The study also investigated whether there was a difference in perceived stress between women and men and whether there was a difference between the above-mentioned variables regarding the sexes. The study had a quantitative approach and the method used was a questionnaire where the questions were based on Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ). The total number of respondents was 62; of which 44 were women and 18 were men. The age range was 26–66 years (M= 42.6, SD=9.1). The survey showed that there was a significant correlation between perceived stress and quantitative demands as well as work pace. Regarding stress, there was no difference between women and men, however, the results showed that there was some difference among the other variables included in the study. The study also showed that there was a difference in which variable affected perceived stress to the highest degree between the sexes. Based on the results, it could be concluded that parts of the study can be generalized to the population.
