Teleworking is an alternative way of working that has existed for several years and due to the Coronavirus pandemic, that started at the end of 2019, teleworking has increased drastically. For this reason, this quantitative study aims to identify the relation between telework and work motivation in terms of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. We have constructed 4 hypotheses where we test the relation between work motivation and telework based on different categories of employees through a regression analysis. The results show that intrinsic motivation has a positive correlation with telework while extrinsic motivation shows a neutral correlation with telework. With the help of a descriptive statistic that shows the number 5 on a scale from 1 to 7, it can be stated that participating employees have a positive attitude in terms of how motivated they are with a focus on intrinsic motivation. In terms of extrinsic motivation, we have received the number 4, which indicates that the participants have a neutral attitude. Finally, the data analysis shows that employees who have families with children show higher intrinsic motivation and less extrinsic motivation during teleworking. It has also been found that the more employees work remotely, the higher the internal motivation.
