Keywords: Covid-19, Intensive care, Nurses, Motivation, External motivation. Question: How did the Covid-19 pandemic change the external motivational factors that affect intensive care nurses? How has the change affected the well-being of intensive care nurses? Purpose: The purpose of the study is to gain an increased understanding and insight into how the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the external motivational factors that intensive care nurses receive from the organization and how it has affected their well-being. Method: A qualitative case study with semi-structured interviews was chosen for this essay. The empirical gathering was done with 7 respondents who worked as intensive care nurses during the covid 19 pandemic in the Stockholm region. Thereafter a thematic analysis was used to process the empirics and the theory. Conclusion: Most external motivational factors have changed during the pandemic and the study showed that the changed external motivational factors have affected intensive care nurses to poorer well-being. The study also shows that if external motivational factors are satisfied, intensive care nurses will feel better in the workplace and feel better.
