Medarbetarengagemang vid arbete på distans
Abstract: The purpose of this thesis was to investigate factors impacting employee engagement, with a focus on the recent increased trend of working remotely. We raised the question: How is the individual employee engagement impacted by the degree of remote work? Are the mediating factors gender, age, commuting time, number of adults and children in household and home office satisfaction related to employee engagement? We chose a quantitative research method to conduct an internet survey with a convenience sample (N = 138) where the survey was distributed to our connections on social media, primarily LinkedIn and Facebook, and two selected companies. To ensure reliability and validity the survey was performed with well-established tests based on the trait theorists McCrae & Costas’ five factor theory, and the employee engagement was measured by using Gallup’s Q’12 Employee Engagement Survey. The study shows no clear relationship between the degree of work that is conducted remotely and the engagement level. Neither are the mediating conditions such as home environment, commuting time and remote work. However, it does show that one trait, conscientiousness, does have a significant link to the level of engagement reported. This trait can be interpreted as beneficial in the context ofworking from home.
