Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twelve employees from SAP SE’s IT departments using qualitative research methods. The research applies Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory to analyze employees' perceptions of key motivational factors, including flexibility, autonomy, communication, social interaction, technology and infrastructure. Findings reveal that while flexibility and autonomy enhance motivation and productivity, challenges such as boundary management, social isolation, and disorganized communication tools hinder performance and satisfaction. Participants expressed a preference for hybrid work models, highlighting the need for occasional in-person interactions and improved home office setups. The study concludes with practical recommendations for managers to enhance remote working conditions by reducing mandatory office days, adopting trust-based management, promoting social engagement, standardizing communication tools, and supporting ergonomic home office setups. These findings provide critical insights for organizations implementing long-term hybrid work models, offering strategies to maintain employee motivation and organizational success. |
