Frihet på kontoret : En intervjustudie om distansarbete

Karlstedt, Ida, Andersson, Johanna January 2018 (has links)
The aim of this study has been to examine the employees view on teleworking and the leadership associated with it, as well as how teleworking and its leadership is related to the employees work motivation. The following research questions have been used for this purpose: Which pros and cons does the employees experience in teleworking versus working in the office? Is the work motivation affected by where the work is performed? How does the employees perceive the managers views on teleworking? Is the employees work motivation affected by the leadership in the organisation? The research method used in this study was semi-structured interviews with a total nine employees in two different organisations. The employees interview for this study teleworks on average 3-4 times a month. The empirical material was analysed with Thematic analysis and interpreted through Herzberg ́s two-factor theory and Allvin ́s conceptual apparatus of the control techniques in flexible work conditions. The research result shows that the possibility for the employee to choose for themselves where to perform their work - based on, for example, work tasks and personal needs - leads to increased work motivation. Many employees appreciate being able to telework when working on tasks that demands high level of concentration. However, the employees think that it is important to be present at the office for certain occasions. Partly to be a part of the social community and partly to develop a good collaboration with colleagues, as well as to participate in important meetings. The result also showed that the leadership has great significance and can lead to increased work motivation. This through the trust and responsibility granted the employees by the manager when given the opportunity to telework. The employees telework under freedom with responsibility. This means that they themselves can decide how and where the work shall be performed, under the premise that they will deliver the result that is expected from them. The leadership therefore focuses on result rather than execution.
