Toxiskt ledarskap på svenska företag : Påverkan på anställda & orsaker / Toxic leadership in Swedish companies : Impact on employees and causesMuskos, Simon, Hanqvist, Fulk, Mardini, Abdullrahman January 2024 (has links)
Toxiska ledare är sådana som, genom avsiktliga negativa handlingar, främst för att gynna sinaegenintressen, har negativ påverkan på organisationen de arbetar på och organisationensanställda. Tidigare studier har fokuserat på länder med en ledarstil som skiljer sig mycket fråndet som finns i Sverige.Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vilken inverkan toxiska ledare har på sina anställda och för att identifiera orsakerna bakom en ledares toxiska ledarskap i Sverige. Detta för att belysa effekten som toxiska ledare har på sina anställda och för att öka förståelsen kring ämnet. Studien använde en induktiv kvalitativ metod, bestående av sju semistrukturerade intervjuer med fackliga företrädare och experter inom ledarskap och kommunikation för attuppfylla studiens syfte. Efter genomförandet av intervjuerna applicerades Maslows behovshierarki för att analyserahur det toxiska ledarskapet påverkar individen. Efter det tillämpades social inlärningsteorin och investeringsmodellen för engagemang för att analysera de underliggande orsakerna till uppkomsten av ett toxiskt ledarskap. I studien etableras även en koppling mellan autokratiskt ledarskap och toxiskt ledarskap. Från intervjuerna identifierades det att anställda drabbas negativt av toxiskt ledarskap på fleranivåer, inklusive psykiskt, fysiskt, och socialt, vilket resulterar i minskad motivation och välbefinnande. Orsakerna till toxiskt ledarskap kunde delas in i personliga egenskaper hos chefen, såsom narcissism och maktbehov, samt externa faktorer som brist på tydlig auktoriteteller bristande resurser för att utföra ledarskapsrollen. Resultaten av studien visar att ett toxiskt ledarskap kan få förödande, och i mer extrema falllivshotande konsekvenser för organisationens anställda. Dessa konsekvenser sträcker sig från mindre allvarliga, som minskning av kommuniktation mellan anställda på arbetsplatsen och minskad produktivitet, till mer allvarliga konsekvenser som att anställda utvecklar depressionoch begår självmord. Dessutom visar resultaten att en ledare kan utveckla ett toxiskt ledarskappå grund av aspekter i sin personlighet, såsom narcissistiska tendenser eller på grund av yttrefaktorer, såsom brist på resurser och kunskap. / Toxic leaders are those who, through intentional negative actions, primarily to benefit their own interests, negatively impact the organization they work for and the organization's employees. Previous studies have focused on countries with a leadership style vastly different from the one found in Sweden. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact which toxic leaders have on their employees as well as identifying the causes behind a leader's toxic leadership in Sweden. The study used a qualitative method consisting of seven interviews with union representatives and experts in leadership and communication to fulfil the study’s purpose. The results of the study show that a toxic leadership can have devastating, and in more extreme cases life threatening, consequences on the organisation’s employees. These consequences range from less severe ones such as a decrease in casual conversations between employees at the workplace and a loss in productivity to more severe ones such as employees developing a depression and committing suicide. Furthermore, the results show that a leader can develop a toxic leadership due to aspects of their personality such as narcissistic tendencies or because of outside factors such as a lack of resources and knowledge.

Top leaders’ relationships and their destructive results : A look into the relationship between top U.S.political leaders and business leadersFaerber, Anna January 2013 (has links)
It has been a lot of talking about who’s president’s fault has been for the crisis that Started in the United States and how it spread around the world. Is it really a specific group of people’s fault? Our leaders’ responsibility to prevent all this? Or is it all of our fault for living in the illusions leaders created for us in order to keep being elected? I am not here to point fingers but, rather, analyzing what has happened by researching legislations that passed and did not pass, and who lobbied and why they lobbied on specific legislations that could have made a difference in the economic situation but were never given the chance. The research are mainly on the years right before the 2007- 2008 recession and specifically from 2004 to 2006. I conclude with analyzing the types of leadership styles that I feel have influenced the current situation and what is the follower’s responsibility in letting it happen, why, and how they could change the situation.

Leading Passion : How does a leader cope with a passionate followership?Siebert, Désirée January 2015 (has links)
The importance of passion increases with the extent of sorrow. While money can replace the passion by offering the opportunity to buy the added value for oneself and the society, social enterprises, artists and start-up organizations have bigger issues to organize the necessary resources. Passion is inevitable for making a difference in the society while suffering a lack of money. Thus, the presence of a certain obsession is a favorable situation for smaller organizations in order to go through difficulties. This thesis investigates the miracle of passion in order to gain an understanding about the ability of leading passionate people. Theories and experiences from passionate individuals are combined in this research paper and suggest different perspectives a leader must consider by leading passion. I assume the social interaction between leaders and followers which result in a mutual influence of behavior and performance. This thesis is focused on the perspective of passionate followership and elucidates factors that are needed to act passionate as well as the role of the leader within this passionate environment.

Metod: Studien behandlar fenomenet organisationskultur och tog med utgångspunkt i detkomplexa ämnet avstamp i en kvalitativ studie med en abduktiv forskningsansats. Studien har också tillämpat en fallstudiedesign där semistrukturerade intervjuer och kompletterande observationer varit den datainsamlingsmetod som nyttjats. Slutsats: Studiens resultat visar på att organisationskulturen är en bidragande faktor till att människor väljer att lämna alternativt blir uteslutna ur en organisation. Studien har belyst diverse strukturer inom organisationen som alla kan benämnas som tämligen ohälsosamma när man talar om organisationskultur. Vi kan med utgångspunkt i det konstatera att den ohälsosamma organisationskultur som idag präglar arbetsplatsen har bidragit till den höga personalomsättning och således också den exkludering som kommit att karaktärisera organisationen. Nyckelord: Ohälsosam organisationskultur, maktstrukturer, ohälsosamt ledarskap, frånvarande ledarskap, exkludering. / Authors: Frida Pettersson & Julia Norgren Date: 2022-05-24 Level: Bachelor thesis, Business administration, 15 credits Advisor: Annika Schilling Examiner: Mikael Lundgren Title: “A so-called sick organizational culture” – A qualitative study that emphasizes how the organizational culture can be the reason behind why people are leaving an organization.

Formational leadership : Wesleyan spirituality and psychological growth as means of facilitating spiritual and emotional maturity and counteracting toxic leadershipKilian, Marcus Klaus 06 1900 (has links)
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 191-202) / This dissertation addresses the problem of toxic leadership, especially in Christian contexts. Toxic leadership behaviors of narcissistic and obsessive-compulsive leaders will be emphasized. To counteract toxic Christian leadership, this dissertation proposes a leadership development model, called formational leadership, which is based on Wesleyan spirituality. Formational leadership emphasizes the spiritual, emotional, and ethical development processes in the leader and includes an analysis of orthokardia, orthodynamis, and orthopraxis. These components have a circular relationship with one another. Orthokardia includes the concepts of spiritual and emotional maturity that a Christian leader needs to develop in order to become an ethical and effective leader. Orthodynamis includes right power and influence motives based on Christian affections that should inform formational leadership. Orthopraxis refers to right and just leadership behaviors informed by Wesley’s social holiness and justice values that need to be adopted as organizational core values. The implications of these components for leadership development are outlined in chapters 4-6 that include practical steps for helping toxic leaders change their dysfunctional and sinful intentions and behaviors. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M. Th. (Theological ethics with specialisation in Christian Leadership in context)
