Motivationspåverkan av ett digitalt förändringsarbete i organisationer : En kvalitativ studie om vilka faktorer som påverkar medarbetarnas motivation vid ett digitalt förändringsarbete inom två medelstora företag i Stockholm

Sammanfattning: Motivation is considered to be an important factor for employees' well-being in their workplace, and is especially important in digital change work (Gilley et al., 2009). This is due to the company's changing environment since there is a risk that employees' motivation will be affected (ibid.). The problem is that there is still not much research on digital change work having any effect on employee motivation. The purpose of this study is therefore to analyze how digital change work affects employees' motivation in their workplace, as well as what factors influence employee motivation. The analysis is based on the employees and managers point of view from two medium sizes companies in Stockholm.  The study is based on a qualitative research method in form of semi-structured interviews which where conducted at two medium-sized companies in Stockholm. Both companies have an ongoing digital change work. To gain a deeper understanding, the authors interviewed a total of twelve respondents where ten of them are employees and two of them are leaders. The study's results show that digital change work has a positive impact on most employees. The majority have a positive attitude towards the new digital change and feel that the change will facilitate their tasks in the future. The result has also shown that the crucial factors such as appreciation, own responsibility and support from managers can lead to increased motivation among employees in a digital change work.
