Přístupy manažerů k řízení zaměstnanců na dálku v kontextu velikosti vedeného týmu

The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to explore the approaches of middle managers to remote employee management, identify strategies in the areas of control and trust, and assess the influence of team size on management practices. The theoretical part summarizes relevant findings on remote work and remote management. The empirical part employs qualitative research conducted through semi-structured interviews, with data analysed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that remote management is based primarily on trust, employee autonomy, and a results-oriented approach. Control is applied flexibly depending on the performance and seniority of individual employees. Open communication and managerial availability play a key role. The main challenge is building team cohesion. Managers compensate for limited in-person contact by organizing shared activities and fostering informal communication. Team size primarily influences the organization of management, particularly the need for delegation and structured communication. The thesis contributes to a deeper understanding of remote employee management and offers insights for both managerial practice and future research.
