Technological developments have made it possible to exchange data electronically, but also to carry out remote collaboration. In addition to the availability of the technical infrastructure, there are other aspects that need to be addressed in order for remote collaboration to function sustainably. One problem is the uncertainty of the connection between the increase in the proportion of remote working and changes in individual work motivation.
The bachelor thesis examines the research question: "What changes in personal work motivation has the increase in the proportion of remote working caused among Wien Digital employees?"
The investigation is carried out step by step with the processing of scientific sources, followed by qualitative interviews and the implementation of a quantitative web survey.
The results show a significant improvement in work motivation and job satisfaction as a result of the increase in the proportion of remote working at Wien Digital. Despite a high level of approval for remote working, the motivators of appreciation, interesting work, earning money and achieving goals are rated even higher, whereas office work scores slightly below average. The influencing factors for remote working are saving the commute to work, the flexibility gained and undisturbed work, while for office work these are personal contact and informal exchange.
