Studiens syfte var att undersöka chefers upplevelser av krav, kontroll och stöd i sitt arbete under distansarbete. Studien baserades på en kvalitativ metod med en deduktiv ansats, teman till studien hämtades från krav-kontroll-stöd-modellen. Data samlades in via sju semistrukturerade intervjuer från en organisation. Deltagarna var kvinnor i olika åldrar med erfarenhet av ledarskap i en chefsposition och hade minst 50% av arbetstiden på distans. Data analyserades genom en tematisk deduktiv analys utifrån tre huvudteman: krav, kontroll och stöd, med tillhörande förutbestämda underteman utifrån Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ). Resultatet visade att chefer på den aktuella organisationen upplevde krav i ledarskapet, de behövde ständigt vara tillgängliga, lösa komplexa problem och de krav som försvårades under distansarbetet var att upprätthålla arbetsmiljöansvaret samt ett tydligt ledarskap. Kontroll erhölls i ledarskapet via ett mångsidigt arbetsinnehåll, planering, nytt lärande och beslutsfrihet. Stödet erhölls genom en uppmärksam chef, ett gott samarbete och hjälpsamhet bland kollegor. Denna studie går i linje med tidigare forskning om att individer som upplever krav, kontroll och stöd i sitt arbete befinner sig i ett aktivt tillstånd utifrån krav-kontroll-stöd-modellen. / The purpose of the present study was to examine leader´s experience of demands, control and support in their leadership during remote-work. The study was based on a qualiative method with a deductive approach, the themes in the approach were retrieved from the demand-control-support-model. The data was collected through seven semi-structrued interviwes from an organization, where the participants were women in different ages with leadership experience in a managerial position, and had at least 50% of their working hours through remote-work. The collected data was analyzed through a thematic deductive analysis based on three predetermined subthemes: demand, control and support. The main themes contained predetermined subthemes, wich were selected from the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ). The result showed that leaders in the current organization experienced demands in their leadership, where they constantly had to be avalible and solve complex problems. The demands wich were perceived as the most difficult were to maintain "work enviroment responsibility" and a clear leadership. Control was obtained through versatile work content, new learning, planning and decision freedom. Support was obtained through an attentive boss, good cooperation and helpfulness among colleagues. This study is in line with previous reasearch that individuals who experience higher demands, control and support in their work are in an active state based on the demand-control-support-model.
