dc.description.abstractIt is not fully understood which factors influence intrinsic employee motivation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this project intends to study hypotheses assuming an association of leadership style on the relationship between collar and intrinsic employee motivation (IEM), as well as an association of perceived-organizational support (POS) on the relationship between job stress and intrinsic employee motivation. To answer the hypotheses, a questionnaire was filled in by 130 employees at Continental AG/Vitesco Technologies in Nuremberg, Germany. The results show that collar does not predict IEM, but task-oriented and relationship-oriented leadership style seem to show different associations to white- and blue-collar employees during the ongoing pandemic. Additionally, the results suggest that job stress is negatively, and POS is positively related to IEM, however POS does not seem to be positively associated to the relationship between job stress and IEM. This study highlights the importance of differences in intrinsic employee motivation during the COVID-19 pandemic and suggests adjustments for supervisors. Keywords: COVID-19 pandemic, intrinsic employee motivation, collar, leadership style, job stress, perceived-organizational support
