Motivation for remote work : Study about motivational factors for remote work (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien var att beskriva och förklara betydelsen och korrelationen mellan olika motivationsfaktorer vid distansarbete. En enkät utformad i Microsoft Forms användes för att mäta fyra motivationsfaktorer “bekräftelse”, “prestation”, “personlig utveckling” och“ arbetsuppgift” baserade på Hertzbergs motivationsteori. Populationen bestod av anställda som arbetade antingen på distans eller under hybridförutsättningar. Enkäten distribuerades via olika sociala medie-forum avsedda för anställda på distans. Totalt deltog 227 personer i studien och 160 uppfyllde kriterierna för populationen. Dataanalysen gjordes med hjälp av statistikprogrammet SPSS, där en beskrivande analys och en korrelationsanalys med Spearman´s korrelationskoefficient genomfördes. Resultatet visade att anställda på distans ansåg feedback vara den viktigaste formen av bekräftelse. Det fanns också en positiv korrelation mellan feedback och viljan att lära sig nya saker hos dessa anställda. Däremot kunde vi inte hitta korrelation mellan trivsel under hög tidspress och självständighet hos anställda på distans. Resultaten indikerade att lära sig nya saker var den viktigaste faktorn för personlig utveckling hos anställda på distans. Dessutom fanns det en positiv korrelation mellan passion och självständighet.

Abstract [en]

The aim of the study was to describe and explain the significance and correlation between different motivational factors in remote work. A survey was used to measure four motivational factors - "recognition," "performance," "personal development," and "task" -based on Hertzberg's motivation theory. The population consisted of employees working either remotely or in hybrid conditions. To reach the population, the researchers join edvarious social media communities dedicated to remote workers and distributed the survey. A total of 227 individuals participated in the study and 160 met the criteria for the study. Dataanalysis was conducted using the statistical program SPSS including descriptive analysis and correlation analysis using Spearman's correlation coefficient. The results showed that remoteworkers considered feedback to be the most important form of recognition. There was also a positive correlation between feedback and the willingness to learn things among these employees. However, no correlation was found between job satisfaction under high timepressure and independence among remote employees. The results indicated that learning new things was the most crucial factor for personal development among remote employees. Additionally, there was a positive correlation between passion and independence.
