Abstract [sv]

Under det senaste året har distansarbete blivit allt vanligare som ett resultat av Covid-19 pandemin. Många företag och organisationer har varit tvungna att anpassa sig till nya sätt attarbeta för att kunna fortsätta sin verksamhet. Följande uppsats är en kvantitativ studie som syftar till att undersöka vad som motiverar personer till att arbeta på distans, samt hur dessa motivationsfaktorer skiljer sigmellan personlighetsdrag utifrån personlighetsteorin Big Five. En enkätundersökning bestående av femfaktormodellen IPIP-NEO-30 samt frågor kring olika motivationsfaktorer har genomförts där bekvämlighetsurval genom författarnas sociala medier har använts (N =100). Studien visar vilka motivationsfaktorer som människor motiveras mest av i sitt arbete på distans. Högst medelvärde hade produktivitet (M = 4.49), socialt samspel (M = 4.30) och effektivisering (M = 4.10). Studien undersökte även allmän trivsel med distansarbete med hjälp av en skala skapad av kompletterande enkätfrågor, där endast draget samvetsgrannhet visade ett samband med trivsel (r = .19). Studien i sin tur kan ge riktlinjer till arbetsgivare för att veta vem som trivs med distans. Slutligen uppmuntras fortsatt forskning inom ämnet då det finns ett antal begränsningar i denna studie, bland annat den mindre urvalsgruppen.

The study also examines general satisfaction with telework with the help of a scale created by complementary survey questions. It shows that conscientiousness is the only trait that correlates with telework satisfaction (r = .19). The results aim to give a guideline to employers on who would be more satisfied with teleworking.
