Vårt syfte med studien var att undersöka om det fanns något samband mellan karismatiska lärare och motiverade studenter. Enligt våra hypoteser skulle vi finna ett positivt samband mellan karisma och motivation. Vi gjorde en enkätundersökning på ett universitet i en mellanstor stad i Sverige. Deltagarna bestod av 172 universitetsstudenter. Enkäten mätte lärarens karisma och studenternas motivation och engagemang. Resultatet visade att det fanns ett starkt positivt samband mellan karismatiska lärare och motiverade studenter. Sammanfattningsvis tenderar studenter som uppfattar sin lärare som karismatisk att vara motiverade och engagerade. Det speglar de teorier och den forskning som visar att karismatiska människor har en positiv inverkan på andra människor. / The purpose with this study was to investigate if there was a relation between charismatic teachers and motivated students. According to our hypothesis, there should be a positive relation between charisma and motivation. We conducted a survey at a university in a medium-sized town in Sweden. The participants consisted of 172 university students. The questionnaire was designed to measure teacher´s charisma and students´ motivation and engagement. The results showed a strong positive relation between charismatic teachers and motivated students. In summary, students who perceive their teachers as charismatic tend to be motivated and engaged. It reflects the theories and research saying that charismatic people have a positive impact on other people.

The slogan: “Self-restraint is life,” forms the philosophical ideal behind the Anuvrat Movement. The purpose of my thesis is to evaluate the Anuvrat Movement introduced by Acharya Tulsi as a non-sectarian, ethical-spiritual movement. The study considered in some detail the historical context within which the movement emerged. The thesis provides a much-needed analysis of the 11 vows formulated by Tulsi in the model of the traditional vows in Jainism. It explored the question whether these vows are relevant and effective in the contemporary Indian society, and whether Tulsi’s movement can cross the geographical boundaries of the Indian sub-continent to be a part of larger global initiatives. The study explored the social significance of the concepts of nonviolence, social justice and sustainability in the wider global community. The study suggests a positive association between the exemplary charismatic role of a leader and the popularity and longevity of social movements in India.

Yes / While ‘charisma’ can be found in dramatic and theatrical parlance, the term enjoys only minimal critical attention in theatre and performance studies, with scholarly work on presence and actor training methods taking the lead in defining charisma’s supposed ‘undefinable’ quality. Within this context, the article examines the appearance of the term ‘charismatic space’ in relation to Marina Abramović’s retrospective The Artist is Present at New York’s Museum of Modern Art in 2010. Here Abramović uses this term to describe the shared space in which performer and spectator connect bodily, psychically, and spiritually through a shared sense of presence and energy in the moment of performance. Yet this is a space arguably constituted through a number of dialectical tensions and contradictions which, in dialogue with existing theatre scholarship on charisma, can be further understood by drawing on insights into charismatic leaders and charismatic authority in leadership studies. By examining the performance and its documentary traces in terms of dialectics we consider the political and ethical implications for how we think about power relations between artist/spectator in a neoliberal, market-driven art context. Here an alternative approach to conceiving of and facilitating a charismatic space is proposed which instead foregrounds what Bracha L. Ettinger calls a ‘matrixial encounter-event’: A relation of coexistence and compassion rather than dominance of self over other; performer over spectator; leader over follower. By illustrating the dialectical tensions in The Artist is Present, we consider the potential of the charismatic space not as generated through the seductive power or charm of an individual whose authority is tied to his/her ‘presence’, but as something co-produced within an ethical and relational space of trans-subjectivity.

The role of implicit leadership theories within the framework of transformational and transactional leadership theory were examined. Two major issues were how implicit leadership theories (i.e., good, neutral, poor leader prototype) relate to specific leader behaviors (attributed charisma, idealized influence, individualized consideration, inspirational leadership, contingent reward, management-by-exception active/passive, laissez-faire leadership), and the combined influence of leader prototypes and behaviors on general job satisfaction, satisfaction with supervision, turnover intentions, and extra effort. Results were inconclusive with regard to the notion that leader prototypes and transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leader behaviors are exemplified by a nonrecursive relation. Leader prototypes and specific behaviors combined to influence work outcomes in either a full or partial mediation framework. Most often, the specific behaviors had a strong, direct influence on work outcomes. Leader prototypes indirectly influenced outcomes through the mediation of specific leader behaviors. The results are discussed in terms of the theoretical and practical benefits of actively incorporating implicit leadership theories into the transformational and transactional leadership framework, as well as the theoretical frameworks of other existing leadership models. It is argued that such an approach would result in a greater understanding of the leader-follower relationship and the overall leadership influence process. / Ph. D.

This thesis focuses on the definition of terms charisma and charismatic authority and its application in new religious movements (NRMs) studies. The first part of the thesis is rather generally oriented and provides a commentary review of the most famous approaches to charisma. In the end, the discussion about various theories of charisma results in its definition from the perspective of Religious Studies. This definition is applied in the second part of this paper afterwards. Second part introduces intricate history of term NRMs and its semantics including sociological typology. Furthermore, it is argued that NRMs are charismatic movements and the author suggests a model of charismatisation degree inside NRMs. These claims head towards the deconstruction of relationship between charismatic leader and his followers. The inner dynamics of charismatisation process is stressed. By referring to problematics of origin, constitution and maintaining charisma within NRMs, this thesis proves that charisma is a relatively common, social and dialectical phenomenon.
