Quality of leader-follower relationship, job satisfaction, reported work performance and mental health for remote workers (English)
Abstract [sv]

Corona-pandemin har inneburit ett paradigmskifte när det gäller distansarbete. Många företag ser över hur de ska organisera arbetet och fördelningen mellan kontor eller distansarbete.

Denna studie undersöker kvaliteten i samspelet mellan chef och medarbetare, arbetstillfredsställelse, rapporterad arbetsprestation samt mental hälsa bland 291 tjänstemän inom sex olika branscher i den privata sektorn i Sverige efter ett års distansarbete.

Resultatet av denna studie visar att det inte finns något samband mellan andel hemarbete och kvalitet i samspel med chef, arbetstillfredsställelse, rapporterad arbetsprestation eller mental hälsa hos medarbetarna. Däremot finns det ett tydligt positivt samband mellan hur nöjd en medarbetare är med att arbeta på distans, oavsett hur mycket, och kvalitet i samspel med chef, arbetstillfredsställelse, rapporterad arbetsprestation och mental hälsa.

Resultatet är i linje med tidigare forskning som har visat positivt samband mellan högkvalitativt samspel med chef och arbetstillfredsställelse, rapporterad arbetsprestation och mental hälsa hos medarbetarna. Denna studie stödjer att dessa samband gäller även vid distansarbete.

Abstract [en]

The Corona pandemic has meant a tremendous change when it comes to remote work. Most companies evaluate how to organize work in regards of working from office or remotely.

This study has examined the quality of the relationship between leader and follower (LMX), job satisfaction, work performance and level of mental health among 291 white collar employees from six different lines of business in the private sector in Sweden after one year of remote work.

The results show no correlation between amount of remote work and quality of LMX, job satisfaction, work performance nor mental health among the employees. However, significant correlations are found between how satisfied the employees are with working remotely, regardless of how much they work remote, and the quality of LMX, job satisfaction, work performance and their mental health.

The results from this study are in line with earlier research showing that there are significant correlations between high quality LMX and high levels of job satisfaction, work performance and mental health among the employees. The results support that these correlations are also valid for remote workers.
