En raison des changements climatiques actuels, il est primordial de comprendre comment les écosystèmes vont réagir et tout particulièrement comment les chaînes trophiques vont être impactées. Pour cela, le comportement des oiseaux marins peut être utilisé comme des indicateurs des changements se déroulant au sein de l’écosystème. Cependant, un des défis actuels dans l’étude du comportement animal est d’identifier comment la structure temporelle du comportement est dépendante des conditions intrinsèques et extrinsèques et comment la complexité de cette organisation comportementale évolue sur un gradient allant de la stochasticité au déterminisme en fonction des changements environnementaux. Ma thèse a donc pour objectif d’étudier si un comportement complexe est adapté pour faire face à une perturbation du système chez les oiseaux marins et plus particulièrement chez deux espèces de manchots étant exposées à des changements environnementaux. / Due to ongoing climate change, it is necessary to understand how ecosystems will react and more particularly, how species may cope with the challenges of living in unstable systems. Seabirds’ behavior provides a way to monitor changes occurring in the marine environment, but identifying how the temporal structure and complexity of behavior depend on intrinsic and extrinsic parameters are underexplored topics in the field of animal behavior. My thesis aims to investigate if behavioral organization, through a gradient of stochasticity-determinism complexity, allows little and adélie penguins to buffer changes in the environment under a fractal analysis approach.

Titel: Att leda i en komplex miljö med Competing Values Framework. En studie av ledarroller i den svenska fastighetsmäklarbranschen. Nivå: Kandidatexamen i företagsekonomi Författare: Artur ter Harkel, Alessandro Schillaci Handledare: Dr. Monika Wallmon Datum: Juni 2022 Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att kartlägga ledarskap inom den svenska fastighetsmäklarbranschen med hjälp av Competing Values Framework (CVF). Metod: Arbetet har en kvantitativ utgångspunkt med en deduktiv ansats. Enkätundersökningen utformades efter en tvärsnittsdesign med slutna frågor. Ett icke-sannolikhetsurval med frivilligt deltagande användes för att göra urvalet. CVF är det teoretiska ramverk som har används för att studera ledarskapet och identifiera ledarroller. Resultat & Slutsats: Resultatet visar att Rational Goal Model (RGM) var den kvadrant som var mest representerad bland branschens ledare. Ledarna tillfredsställs av produktivitet och stimulerar prestation hos de anställda. Detta resultat är inte konstigt med tanke på den konkurrens som råder inom branschen. Det blir en självklarhet att fokusera på prestation och ha tydliga målsättningar. Human Relations Model (HRM) och Open System Model (OSM) är två andra kvadranter som är väldigt centrala för branschens ledare. Den genomsnittliga ledaren i branschen förstår vikten av att leda anställda på ett diplomatiskt och rättvist sätt och att söka efter innovativa lösningar. Internal Process Model (IPM) är den kvadrant som återfinns minst bland branschens ledare. Konservativt beslutsfattande och förutsägbara handlingar är inte vanligt förekommande i branschen. Vidare har den genomsnittliga ledaren i branschen förstått vikten av att kombinera flera kvadranter. Ledarna kombinerade HRM med RGM för att skapa rollen Caring confrontation och OSM med IPM för att skapa Practical vision. En ledare ska däremot inte fokusera för mycket på individuella roller i CVF, att enbart fokusera på RGM kan vara ansträngande och förtryckande för en anställd. Bidrag: CVF prövas på nytt i en bransch där den till vår vetskap inte har tillämpats tidigare. En intressant implikation av denna studie är att fastighetsmäklarbranschens ledare kan göra en självutvärdering av sitt ledarskap för att avgöra hur deras ledarstil jämförs med resultatet i denna studie.  Förslag till vidare forskning: Resultatet indikerar att ledarna kombinerar HRM med RGM och OSM med IPM. Detta väcker frågan på vilket sätt detta sker. Framtida studier kan genomföra en fältstudie på ett fastighetsmäklarkontor för att få en bättre förståelse för hur ledarna kombinerar dessa kvadranter i den dagliga driften. Framtida studier kan även använda CVF för att undersöka vilken företagskultur som råder inom fastighetsmäklarbranschen. Vidare kan Quinn’s utvärderingsmetod användas både för självutvärdering och utvärdering av andra. Framtida studier kan baseras på att anställda i fastighetsmäklarbranschen utvärderar sina ledare.

A Study of Leadership Roles in the Swedish Real Estate Business. Level: Bachelor of Business Administration Authors: Artur ter Harkel, Alessandro Schillaci  Supervisor: Dr. Monika Wallmon Date: June 2022 Aim: The purpose of this study is to survey leadership in the Swedish real estate industry with the Competing Values Framework (CVF).  Method: This study has a quantitative and deductive approach. The survey was based on a cross-sectional study with closed questions. Non-probability sampling with voluntary participation was used to make the sample. CVF is the theoretical framework that has been used to study leadership and to identify leadership roles.  Results & Conclusions: The results show that the Rational Goal Model (RGM) quadrant was most represented among the managers. Productivity and performance among employees is important, which is not surprising given the competition that prevails in the industry. Focusing on achievements and having clear goals becomes a logical consequence of a highly competitive market. Furthermore, the Human Relations Model (HRM) and Open System Model (OSM) quadrants were well represented among the managers. These managers understand the importance of managing their employees in a diplomatic, fair manner and seek innovative solutions. The Internal Process Model (IPM) quadrant was least represented among the managers. Predictable actions and conservative decision-making are not common in this line of business. Moreover, the average manager has understood the importance of combining quadrants to create new leadership roles. The HRM and RGM quadrants were combined to create the role Caring confrontation and the OSM and IPM quadrants were combined to create Practical vision. Accordingly, a manager should not have too much emphasis on individual quadrants of the CVF. For instance, too much emphasis on RGM can be exhausting and oppressing for an employee.  Contribution of thesis: To our knowledge, CVF is used in a line of business where it has not been applied before. An interesting implication of this study is that managers can make a self-assessment of their leadership to determine how their leadership style compares with the results of this study.  Suggestions for future research: The results indicate that managers combine HRM with RGM and OSM with IPM. This raises the question how this really is done by the managers. Future research may conduct a field study of a real estate office to gain a better understanding of how leaders combine these quadrants in day-to-day operations. Another interesting aspect to address is that CVF is a broad tool. Future research may investigate the corporate culture that prevails in the industry. Furthermore, Quinn’s self-assessment tool can be used for both self-assessment and the assessment of others. This study only focuses on self-assessment. Future studies could be based on employees evaluating their managers.  Keywords: Leadership, Real estate agents, Competing Values Framework, Paradoxical leadership, Behavioral complexity.

The research method this study adopted is survey research. Data were collected from 1060 teachers of elementary schools in Taiwan. The response rates were 89.91％; the usable rates were 84.81％. The collected data were analyzed by using the statistical methods of one-way ANOVA, one-way MANOVA, cluster analysis, discriminant analysis, Pearson product-moment correlation, regression analysis (simple regression, multiple regression, and moderated regression), hierarchical linear modeling, and structural equation modeling. The conclusions of this study are: 1.Among all of the dimensions of principal’s leadership behavior, “Compete” is the dominant in the elementary schools. 2.Among all of the dimensions of school organizational culture, “Hierarchy” and “Clan” are the dominant in the elementary schools. 3.Among all of the dimensions of school organizational effectiveness, “Internal Process” is the dominant in the elementary schools. 4.There are positive relationships among principal’s leadership behavior, school organizational culture, and school organizational effectiveness. 5.The principals with better leadership performances and higher behavioral complexity tend to shape school organizational culture and enhance school organizational effectiveness. 6.The schools with stronger organizational cultures and higher cultural complexity could improve school organizational effectiveness. 7.The hypothesis that the higher the congruence between principal’s leadership behavior and school organizational culture is, the better the school organizational effectiveness is could not be supported. 8.Whether the relationship between principal’s leadership behavior and school organizational effectiveness could be moderated by school organizational culture depends on the level of analysis of school organizational culture. 9.The principal’s leadership behavior could positively affect school organizational effectiveness through the mediated effect of school organizational culture. In addition, this study provides suggestions respectively on the aspect of practical application and future study.
