Abstract [sv]

Tidigare forskning visar att det är svårt att skapa relationer i arbete på distans. Goda relationer bidrar till att organisationer uppnår sina mål. Därför behöver distansledare inneha egenskaper och kunskaper kring hur de ska hantera utmaningarna som finns i relationsskapandet på distans. Denna studie syftar till att utveckla en djupare förståelse för hur chefer upplever och skapar relationer till sina medarbetare i distansarbetet. Empiri har insamlats genom åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer med chefer i en offentlig organisation, vars svar har analyserats och tematiserats med hjälp av tematisk analys. Resultatet synliggör både utmaningar och möjligheter samt visar att kommunikation, social interaktion, tillit samt tillgänglighet och närvaro är tillvägagångsätt som chefer tillämpat i relationsskapandet på distans.

Abstract [en]

Previous research shows that it is difficult to create relationships at a distance. Good relationships help organizations achieve their goals. Therefore, distance leaders need to have qualities and knowledge about how to handle the challenges that exist in building relationship at a distance. This study aims to develop a deeper understanding of how managers experience and create relationships with their employees in distance work. Empirical data has been collected throughout eight semi-structured interviews with managers in a public organization, whose responses have been analyzed and thematized using thematic analysis. The results highlight both challenges and opportunities and shows that communication, social interaction, trust, accessibility and presence are means that managers have applied in creating relationships at a distance.
