Remote work has increased rapidly in recent years primarly due to the covid-pandemic that started back in 2019. It pushed companies all over the world to abandon traditional office setups in favor of remote-friendly environments. Even before covid-pandemic the Nordic region has been on the front row of remote working due to a long-standing history of excellent information and communication technology. This study explores the relationship between remote work intensity and work motivation among Nordic employees. The data for the study have been collected by using a quantitative survey method. The sample consists of 139 individuals employed in Nordic countries. The theoretical framework used in the study is selfdetermination theory and job-demand resource theory. Results of this study suggest that remote work has a positive relationship with autonomy and that high levels of psychological needs are related to autonomous motivation. However, the study did not find any significant relationship between remote work intensity and autonomous motivation.
