Which motivational factors are of greater importance for accounting economists in teleworking (English)
Abstract [sv]

Det har skett en stor ökning av distansarbetet i samband med Covid-19 pandemin. Ekonomyrket är ett av de yrken som har haft möjlighet till denna omställning från kontorsarbete till distansarbete. Att arbeta på distans ställer prov på den anställde och dennes motivation. 

Syftet med studien är att bidra till förståelsen för hur redovisningsekonomer upplevt omställningen från traditionellt kontorsjobb till distansarbete och hur det har påverkat arbetsmotivationen. 

För att uppnå studiens syfte har en kvalitativ metod använts där tio redovisningsekonomer i södra Sverige intervjuades. Empirin analyserades sedan med koppling till Self-determination theory och Herzbergs tvåfaktorsteori för att besvara frågeställningarna. 

Studiens visar att det har varit en stor omställning av arbetsmiljön för redovisningsekonomer vid distansarbete. Det har visat en stor påverkan på arbetsmiljön och således på motivationen, där inre motivationsfaktorer var av större vikt vid arbete på distans.  

Abstract [en]

There has been a large increase in telework due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The economist is one of the professions that has had the opportunity for this transition from office work to telework. Teleworking presents challenges to the employee and his motivation.

The purpose of this study is to contribute to the understanding of how economists have experienced the transition from traditional office work to telework and how it has affected their work motivation.

To achieve the purpose of the study, a qualitative method was used where ten accounting economists in southern Sweden were interviewed. The empiric was then analyzed in connection with Self-determination theory and Herzberg's two-factor theory to answer the questions.

The study shows that there has been a major change in the work environment for accounting economists in teleworking. It has shown a great impact on the work environment and thus on motivation, where internal motivational factors were of greater importance when working at a distance.
