Hemarbete har blivit vardag för många med ett administrativt yrke. Det har funnits olika syn på huruvida hemarbete bidrar till högre produktivitet eller inte. Flera organisationer har börjat fundera på om de ska implementera hemarbete som en beständig förändring efter Corona-pandemins slut. Det finns tidigare forskning på hur produktivt det är att arbeta hemifrån men forskning som är inriktad på upplevd produktivitet vid hemarbete identifierades inte. Med bakgrunden av egen erfarenhet av hemarbete och en nyfikenhet kring konsekvenserna av hemarbetet växte syftet med studien fram. Syftet med denna studie är att utforska anställdas upplevda produktivitet vid förändringen till hemarbete i en verksamhet och vilka faktorer som påverkar den. Uppsatsen är en kvalitativ fallstudie med en induktiv ansats. Datainsamlingen baseras på kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med tjänstemän som arbetat hemifrån under Corona-pandemin. Genom den insamlade data som intervjuerna bidrog med, identifierades centrala teman genom sortering och kodning av materialet. Av analysen genererades det totalt 13 teman där fem av dessa valdes ut som mest återkommande och som sedan genererade i sig sju underkategorier. Underkategorierna var kontorsspring, familjemedlemmar, missar att ta pauser, vågar inte ta pauser, anpassat efter individen, organisationskultur och balans. Dessa teman kopplades till teori för att skapa mening. Analysen bidrog till en diskussion kring vikten av individens och organisationens samspel. Att en strategi går åt samma riktning, vilken både individen och organisationen är en del av, skapar en samstämmighet. Respondenterna ville fortsätta arbeta hemifrån efter Corona-pandemin i en balans med kontorsarbete. Anställdas upplevda produktivitet vid hemarbete konstaterades vara högre än vid kontorsarbete i fallstudien, de faktorer som påverkar är de teman som ovan presenterats. / Working from home has become commonplace for many with an administrative profession. There have been various findings as to whether homework contributes to higher productivity or not. Several organizations have begun to consider whether to implement remote working as a strategy after the Corona pandemic's end. There is previous research on how productive it is to work from home, but research that focuses on perceived productivity when working at home was not identified. With the background of our own experience of working from home and a curiosity about the consequences of it, the purpose of the study emerged. The purpose of the study is to explore employees perceived productivity when changing to working from home in an organization and what factors that affect it. The thesis is a qualitative case study with an inductive approach. The data collection is based on a qualitative semi-structured interview with white-collar workers who worked from home during the Corona pandemic. Through the collected data that the interviews contributed, key themes were identified through sorting and coding of the material. The analysis generated atotal of 13 themes, five of which were selected as the most recurring and which then generated seven subcategories. The subcategories were office running, family members, failing to take breaks, not daring to take breaks, adapted to the individual, organizational culture, and balance. These themes were linked to theory to create meaning. Analyze contributed to a discussion about the importance of the individual and the organization's interaction. That a strategy goes in the same direction, of which both the individual and the organization are a part, creates a coherence. The respondents wanted to continue working from home after the Corona pandemic in a balance of office work. Employees' perceived productivity in working from home was found to be higher than in office work in the case study, the factors that affect are the themes presented above.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic shook the global economy to its core, enforcing wide-ranging working from home (WFH) movements in addition to traditional working from office (WFO) structures. As the debates continue over how to permanently embed WFH into the work reality, to do so successfully, the components of changing work venues must be evaluated. Hence, there is a growing urgency to adapt to the new ways of working through focused organizational and managerial intervention. Utilizing the grounded theory, the analysis of qualitative interview data from Germany and Sweden formed the foundation of the paper’s research on changing work venues concerning individual and organizational resilience. Here, young professionals shared experiences of WFH during the pandemic in conjunction with their time WFO before and after COVID-19 restrictions. Through the theoretical framework of resilience as practice, this paper establishes three processes that have a major impact on the quality of home office in relation to resilience: (1) adapting to WFH, (2) acknowledging the advantages and disadvantages of WFO and WFH, and (3) emphasizing individual preferences and differences. The study suggests that the more structured and faster the company adapted to WFH during the transitional period, the less pronounced the employee’s possible negative experiences were. Concerning the benefits of different work venues and individual preferences, this paper concludes that WFH is a substantial supplement to traditional work on-site with the potential to increase individual and organizational resilience.
