“…An interesting way to motivate yourself to work and work more efficiently is to adjust your appearance and change into work clothes as if you were going to work. The employee thus directs his mind to work and will focus better on it (Ryba et al, 2021). Rather, our respondents disagreed with this statement.…”

Objective - The aim of the paper is to answer the research question, "whether and how home office work can have an impact on employee motivation." Using partial questions, we found out how the interviewed employees perceive work in the form of a home office, what they see as advantages and disadvantages, or what motivates or demotivates them in this area and how important the home office is for them in the field of motivation. Methodology/Technique - For the implementation of the survey, we chose a qualitative method in the form of semi-structured interviews. All interviews were arranged in advance and took place in an informal atmosphere, most often in a home environment. The interviews were recorded on a recording device with the consent of the respondents, for the possibility of data processing and subsequent analysis. The selection of respondents was carried out by the method of intentional selection. The research sample involved ninety respondents who had specific experience with working from home, which meant that they currently used work from home, i.e., home office as a benefit, standard or primary place of work. One interview was conducted with each respondent in the time range of 25 to 35 minutes. Findings – Within the research, several areas were confirmed, which are mentioned by various authors in the theoretical part of the presented paper. There is a positive perception of home office employees in the area of saving time, or the feeling of freedom. In the negative case, and thus potentially demotivating, phenomena of employees in the area of social isolation was most significantly confirmed. The issue of procrastination mentioned by the respondents in several cases could also be mentioned as confirmatory and existing in-home office. The frustration with low home office efficiency was not mentioned by the respondents, on the contrary, some stated that they found their work from home more efficient than in the office. The results of the presented research show that it would be a mistake to look at the home office only from one side. Novelty - Although it could be said that the positives of this type of work performance to motivate employees outweigh the negatives, this ratio may vary significantly from employee to employee, especially depending on the specific and current conditions, which may also change significantly within the time. The presented paper was processed as an output of the project VEGA 1/0021/21 Identification of motivation factors for the performance of certified project managers working in the home office during the pandemic of COVID 19.

“…Employees are actively involved in meetings -formulating feedback, praising, or sharing their observations, both during and at the end of the meeting. Ryba et al (2021) further points to the importance of the clothes worn by the employee during working hours. Although it does not seem so, clothes also affect a person's psyche.…”

“…Previous studies suggested that demographic aspects such as age, sex, and type of sport have not shown clear associations with the quality of adjustment to post-sport life ( Cecić Erpič et al, 2004 ). However, research ( Park et al, 2013 ; Ryba et al, 2021 ) has shown sex, educational status, marital status, and competitive levels have an influence. The reasons for sports career termination ( Küttel, 2017 ) can be related to athletes’ jobs, education, performance, sport environment, health, family, finance, personal reasons, and motivation.…”

Dual Career Development Perspective: Factors Affecting Quality of Post-sport Career Transition of Employed Olympic Athletes

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Although Olympic athletes are celebrated for their sports achievements, they often face serious difficulties in their post-sport career employment. Factors of development that are affecting the quality of post-sport career transition of Olympic athletes are important to acknowledge in the dual career (DC) development perspective. Due to the side lining of academic activities, athletes are often not well prepared for the labor market. If they do not gain sufficient financial background in their careers, it can lead to a lack of proper economic inclusion of athletes in their post-sport career employment and further impact their lives. Career transitions of athletes have been the subject of research in different aspects of DC support (e.g., athletic, psychological, psychosocial, academic/vocational, financial), but most research is linked to the student-athlete DC perspective. Therefore, the aim of our research was to examine the impact of factors directly contributing to the quality of the post-sport career transition in Slovenian elite and Olympic athletes and the social class position and employment of these athletes after the termination of their sports career. From DC support practice, we learned that although athletes often have a proper level of education, their post-sport career transitions were not successful. To fill this gap, 168 elite athletes (Mage = 33.34, SD = 13.1) from Slovenia were asked to complete online questionnaires. The results showed a significant contribution of education and DC support-related finances (e.g., employment of athletes in public administration) to the quality of post-sport career transition. Regarding developing a national DC model and based on empirical research, this study identifies the social class position and employment status of former elite athletes from Slovenia. It also identifies opportunities for further research on the quality of the post-sport career transitions and perspectives on DC support. Understanding how different factors contribute to the integrated development of individual athletes to reach their potential in sports, education, and their post-sport career employment is important for theorists, DC practitioners, and stakeholders working with DC athletes. To develop a sufficient mechanism, DC support providers should consider supporting education along with the financial support of athletes during their sports careers and recognizing study-training ecosystems, based on good practices to successfully transition to their post-sport careers. These findings can also be useful for athletes and their athletic triangle support network (e.g., coaches and parents) as a support in the decision-making.

“…Gender did not, however, affect the development of career adaptability among young students 13 . Investigating adolescent athletes’ career adaptability and the factors that promote it is important because student‐athletes tend to have difficulty envisioning their lives after sports and engaging in self‐exploration during their sporting careers 14 15 found that athletes who had not planned their post‐sporting lives had an elevated risk of experiencing psychological distress, especially following involuntary athletic career termination.…”

The key challenges in sustainable elite sports concern young athletes´ holistic development. Consequently, preparation for dual careers has been recommended to enhance athletes’ well‐being and equip them for life after sports. The aim of this study was to examine the developmental associations between self‐esteem and career adaptability among adolescent athletes across the high school years and investigate the role of gender in these developmental trajectories. A total of 391 student‐athletes were followed up four times from the beginning of high school (T1) to its end (T4) using the Dual‐Career Form of the Career Adapt‐Abilities Scale and the Self‐Esteem Questionnaire. The results indicated that individual differences in student‐athletes’ self‐esteem and career adaptability were relatively stable across the high school years and were thus modeled via the between‐persons factors capturing differences between individuals across time. The results further showed that the overall levels of self‐esteem and career adaptability were positively associated. Males showed higher overall levels of career adaptability and self‐esteem than females. This study suggests that it is important to facilitate youth athletes’ self‐regulation resources by involving them in vocational developmental tasks. Further, gender differences should be considered when supporting student‐athletes’ development.
