  abstract = {The Covid-19 crisis has been changing the whole life and business world. Previous fixed structures used in the companies before the Coronavirus Pandemic were followed by improvisation. Home office, short-time work, hygiene rules and social distancing were enforced by governmental corona regulations. Companies are demanded sustaining workforce, accomplishing the goal of staying competitive, and of being connected to employees and customers. High employee motivation and related job satisfaction is a prerequisite for high employee performance, for above-standard use of employee potential, which is key to the company's success. Especially in times of crisis, significant attention needs to be paid to these factors. The manager and his ability to lead people in conditions of limited direct social contacts, in conditions of home office - in the days of Corona-19 - play an important role here. Organizations need to pay increased attention to managerial skills, developing their soft skills, which are a prerequisite for effective people management. The aim of this article is to point out the interconnectedness of motivation, job satisfaction and productivity, the connection with the style of leadership, to figure out the transformation in employee motivation pre and post COVID-19, especially the new basics of effective motivation amid COVID-19. The method fundamentally bases on literature review, qualitative content analysis, the structured analysis applying a coding system, descriptive statistics, deduction, comparation and synthesis to evaluate the findings.},
