“…They can benefit stiring interest in informal organizational processes (Derks & Bakker, 2010;Nizielski, 2015:2). The lack of personal links to other people and the lack of information in a social setting also affect, as pointed out by Gallenkamp et al (2010), building a social relationship and trust. Cooper & Kurland (2002) and Vega & Brennan (2000) describe the perception of social isolation of employees in telework as one of the main problems of this form of labor.…”

Importance of the topic: Through limited communication possibilities, social support can be provided via structural distance only in a limited way. But exactly social support is a buffer to reduce work-related stress and diseases. The issue of workplace health promotion has so far received little attention in teleworking. The issue of workplace health promotion has so far received little attention in teleworking, which is incomprehensible, because healthy employees are the basis of an agile and competitive company. Aim of the study: The objective of this study is to identify and synthesize what is known about telecommuting, social-support and mental well-being of employees, and how these constructs are linked. Therefore the respective understandings of social-support and of healthy work behind the background of telework has to be elaborated, to develop the underlying interpretations of subjectivity, in order to propose a perspective for empirical investigations of health-oriented (tele-)working conditions. Methods: The study was carried out as a literature review, consisting information found in general and relevant science literature as well as scientific publications researched in common journal-databases. To gain a better understanding of how the constructs are linked, a conceptual model and testable hypotheses are provided. Findings: Proactive work-support, good workplace-relationships, but also support from non-work contexts are closely related to teleworkers' mental well-being. The question, as to why some employees in the field of telework are mentally stable and can cope with perceived, unfavorable working conditions or lower social support and others fail, can be answered by individual's Sense of Coherence (SoC), a health-related resource and their ability to use available General Resistance Ressources (GRR).

This article should contribute to corporate communication theory by considering the mechanisms of distance communication (telecommuting) between mobile teleworkers and their organisation, as well as the role of a functional communication on both; the factual and relationship level in enhancing employee motivation. Despite its importance for organisations and leaders, there is considerable confusion about effects on motivation, associated with distance communication in the context of mobile telework. This article aims to provide a degree of clarity by identifying, analysing and discussing the main linkages to employee motivation found in general and relevant science literature, as well as scientific publications in common databases, to stimulate and provide directions for future research. Corporate communication and motivation literature, as well as scientific papers in this field has not yet adequately considered this concept. This may be due to confusion regarding to the definition of motivation, and to concerns about overlaps with related constructs such as engagement, organisational commitment, organisational identification or affiliation. This article closes the gap with an appropriate model, mirroring the found main concepts and enhancers of employee motivation as well as the associated communication effort on different "integration levels". The article discusses linkages between motivation and distance communication, which suggest research potential in the field of HR-Management and Organisational Development (OD). The study just as well encourages communicators in telework-teams, to consider effects of communication strategies and tactics. The aim of this analysis is also to inspire responsible person and departments to show up the communication needs of employees in mobile telework. This conceptual article provides an overview of motivation and communication theory literature, aiming to identify the main aspects for motivated employees. It suggests motivation as a hierarchical psychological state on different levels, of how strong employees in mobile telework are linked to and integrated into their organisation, against the background of distance communication.
