The theoretical part is based on definitions of key concepts and theories. The key concepts are leadership, communication and motivation, while the theories are self-determination theory, Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Herzberg's two-factor theory. In addition, workplace motivation and the impact of remote work on motivation are discussed. Workplace motivation is defined with the help of expectancy theory, goal-setting theory and equity theory. In the analysis, leadership and its impact on employee motivation are discussed based on these theoretical frameworks. This study was conducted in the form of a systematically oriented literature review. The purpose of the study was to create a broad overview of the theme of the thesis, which also includes a critical review. The analyzed material consisted of eight scientific articles selected through systematic searches in research databases. The results show that there are several leadership characteristics that have a positive impact on employee motivation, but also some leadership characteristics that have a negative impact on employee motivation. In addition, leaders in telework need specific competencies. It is important that leaders are able to support employees' autonomy, competence and relatedness in remote work. The conclusion that can be drawn from the results of the study is that there is a significant relationship between leadership and employee motivation.","abstract_html":"The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the impact of leadership on employee motivation in the workplace and how leaders can support employee motivation in remote work.

Teoridelen baserar sig på definitioner av centrala begrepp och teorier. De centrala begreppen är ledarskap, kommunikation och motivation, medan teorierna är självbestämmandeteorin, Maslows behovshierarki och Herzbergs tvåfaktorteori. Utöver detta diskuteras motivation på arbetsplatsen och distansarbetets inverkan på motivation. Motivation på arbetsplatsen definieras med hjälp av förväntansteori, målsättningsteori och likavärdesteori. I analysen behandlas ledarskap och dess inverkan på anställdas motivation utifrån dessa teoretiska ramverk. Denna studie utfördes i form av en systematiskt orienterad litteraturöversikt. Avsikten med studien var att skapa en bred helhetsuppfattning om avhandlingens tema som också innefattar en kritisk granskning. Det analyserade materialet bestod av åtta vetenskapliga artiklar som valdes genom systematiska sökningar i forskningsdatabaser. Resultaten visar att det finns flera ledaregenskaper som har en positiv inverkan på anställdas motivation, men också några ledaregenskaper som har en negativ inverkan på anställdas motivation. Därutöver behöver ledare i distansarbete särskilda kompetenser. Det är viktigt att ledare kan stödja anställdas autonomi, kompetens och samhörighet i distansarbete.
