dc.description.abstractIn the literature COVID-19 was identified as a potential career shock that might have a major impact on people's careers and motivation at work. However, literature on the impact of career shocks on work and career related outcomes is still sparse. Therefore this study aims to gain insight into whether and how employees from the healthcare and hospitality sectors perceive COVID-19 as a career shock and what impact it has on their motivation at work. After conducting twelve semi-structured interviews, this study found that COVID-19 can be a career shock as it changed employees thoughts about their careers or caused them to look for different jobs. However, for the majority, COVID-19 did not constitute a career shock which can be explained as COVID-19 can be perceived differently by each person depending on the interplay between work, home and personal factors. Furthermore, this study found that COVID-19 in general had a negative impact on the motivation at work. For employees from the healthcare sector because the work demands, which lead to a lower motivation, increased due to COVID-19 and for employees from the healthcare sector because the energy resources, which lead to a higher motivation, decreased due to COVID-19. This study also found that COVID-19 government policy had an impact on employees’ motivation as the measures led to decreases in resources and increases in demands. Furthermore, this study found that governments pursue different COVID-19 policies, which cause differences in the degree of changes in employees’ demands and resources and thereby their motivationen_US
