1	The Hidden Ingredients of Team Performance : A conceptual model for emotional intelligence, self-leadership and team performance Duruk, Mert, Topcu, Ekin January 2019 (has links) Due to globalization and increasing complexity within the business environment, teams have become a way of life for many organizations in order to generate higher performance and sustain competitive advantage. Organizations, however, may fail to fully benefit from teams despite all the investment and efforts that they make. Herein, we believe that a possible way to cope with these failures might be establishing an understanding that individuals’, particularly team members’ need for autonomy within teams through accomplishing self-discipline and managing their emotions and behaviors. Therefore, our purpose in this study is to investigate the relationship between individuals’ emotional intelligence and their self-leadership ability in the context of team performance. In line with this purpose, we find plausible to employ conceptual research approach in order to build an integrated and logical model, with proposed hypotheses, which could be used as a departure point for the researchers and their empirical studies in the future. Through this model, we argue that individuals’ emotional intelligence has a positive impact on the self-leadership ability and its three strategies, which are behavior focus strategy, natural reward strategy, and constructive thought patterns strategy, by managing and regulating one’s own and other’s emotions. Hence, as suggested, the association of emotional intelligence and self-leadership can influence team communication, team trust, team learning and team creativity positively thus it may enhance the overall team performance. emotional intelligence emotional intelligence competencies self-leadership self-leadership strategies team team performance Business Administration Företagsekonomi

I och med att samhället ständigt förändras, förändras också arbetsrutiner samt arbetssätten. Det som tidigare inte var vanligt är numera vanligt, chefen kliver åt sidan då det finns andra verktyg som kan ersätta chefen. Studiens syfte är att undersöka anställdas självledarskapsstrategier men även chefens påverka på de anställdas vardagliga arbeten. Därmed uppnår studien en djupare förståelse för självledarskap för att sedan se om dagens arbetsmarknad är redo att applicera teorin till verkligheten utifrån anställdas perspektiv. Två forskningsfrågor presenteras i studien för att kunna nå fullheten av självledarskap samt empowerment. Studien uppfyller sitt syfte genom att följa en kvalitativ forskningsmetod med en abduktiv ansats. Studiens empiri har samlats in genom 12 semistrukturerade intervjuer. Utifrån de djupgående intervjuer med anställda har viktig information kunnat sammanställas för att analyseras och tolkas. Det har även ökat förståelsen för självledarskap utifrån de anställdas perspektiv. Resultatet som studien har kommit fram till är att anställda följer beteendefokuserade strategier och chefen påverkar anställdas arbete till en viss grad, då en chef behövs för att vara motiverande, bidra med konstruktiv feedback och administrera. Även om några respondenter uttryckte att chefens närvaro inte är viktig, kan det konstateras att chefen behövs för att arbetet ska fungera. Genom studien har även slutsatsen kunnat dras att den svenska arbetsmarknaden bör applicera självledarskap i praktiken för att kunna uppnå bättre resultat och större engagemang hos de anställda. / The thesis of the study is to examine employees´ self-leadership strategies, and the manager's influence on the employees' everyday work. This study achieves a deeper understanding of self-leadership to then see if today's companies in Sweden are ready to apply the theory to reality, throughout the perspective of employees. Two research questions are presented in the study to achieve the understanding of self-leadership and empowerment. The study fulfills its purpose by following a qualitative research method with an abductive approach. The empirical study has been collected through 12 semi-structured interviews. The result that the study has come to is that employees follow behavior-focused strategies, and managers influence employees' everyday work to a certain degree. Through the study, it has also been possible to draw the conclusion that the Swedish companies should apply self-leadership to achieve better results and greater commitment among employees. self-leadership self-leadership strategies empowerment. självledarskap självledarskapsstrategier empowerment organisationer chefs behov.

3	Självledarskap som ledningsstrategi : En kvalitativ studie om hur självledarskap som ledningsstrategi uppfattas i en organisation Weldemicael, Benhur, Izere, Kenny January 2024 (has links) Problemformulering: Självledarskap definieras som en individs förmåga att påverka sitt beteende för att uppnå sina mål. Detta koncept har blivit alltmer relevant i takt med att organisationer övergår från traditionella hierarkiska strukturer till mer flexibla och självstyrda arbetssätt. Syftet: Utifrån olika perspektiv (chef & medgrundares-, anställdas- och ledarskapscoachs perspektiv), öka förståelse för hur tillämpningen av självledarskap som ledningsstrategi uppfattas i en organisation. Metod: En kvalitativ forskningsansats användes, där fem semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes för att samla insikter från deltagare i kunskapsintensiva företag i Sverige. Denna metod gav en djup förståelse för individuella upplevelser och uppfattningar relaterade till självledarskap. Slutsats: Studien visar att självledarskap som ledningsstrategi erbjuder både möjligheter och hinder för organisationer. De viktigaste resultaten antyder att självledarskap främjar ökat ansvar och autonomi bland medarbetarna, vilket bidrar till ökad motivation och arbetstillfredsställelse. Samtidigt innebär självledarskap utmaningar som ökade krav på självdisciplin, risken för otydlighet i mål och riktning. Effektiva strategier för självledarskap inkluderar självmålsättning, självbelöning och att förstå arbetsuppgifternas syfte, medan självbestraffning är mindre populära. / Problem Statement: Self-leadership is defined as an individual's ability to influence their behavior and goals. This concept has become increasingly relevant as organizations transition from traditional hierarchical structures to more flexible and self-directed work environments. Purpose: From various perspectives (including those of managers and co-founders, employees, and leadership coaches), this study aims to enhance the understanding of how the applicationof self-leadership as a management strategy is perceived within an organization. Methodology: A qualitative research approach was employed, involving five semi-structured interviews to gather in-depth insights from participants in knowledge-intensive companies in Sweden. This method provided a deep understanding of individual experiences and perceptions related to self-leadership. Conclusion: The study demonstrates that self-leadership as a management strategy offers both opportunities and challenges for organizations. The key findings suggest that self-leadership fosters increased responsibility and autonomy among employees, contributing to enhanced motivation and job satisfaction. However, self-leadership also presents challenges such as increased demands for self-discipline and the risk of ambiguity in goals and direction. Effective self-leadership strategies include self-goal setting, self-reward, and understanding the purpose of tasks, while self-punishment is less favored. Business Administration Företagsekonomi
4	An active chain process of self-leadership : Dynamically practising self-leading strategies for sustainability Amilon, Mia, Nguyen, Stephanie January 2022 (has links) Title: An active chain process of self-leadership: Dynamically practising self-leading strategies for sustainability. Keywords: Active and dynamic, Chain process of self-leadership, Self-leadership strategies Background: Sustainability is important and of current interest, requiring all organisations to be well-functioning, committed to sustainability and create strategic decisions for their long-term sustainability. Organisations thence benefit from training the employees into self-leaders, as it results in beneficial outcomes that lead to greatness within organisations, and hence society at large. Research question: Why do individuals succeed in maintaining and practising an active chain process of self-leadership? Purpose: This study aims to understand why individuals sustain maintaining an active chain process of self-leadership by dynamically practising self-leadership strategies, where they continue to be self-aware, manage and lead themselves, practice self-leadership strategies, attain self-efficacy and achieve beneficial outputs that in extension contribute to a more efficient and long-term sustainable society. To better understand what activates the chain process of self-leadership and creates the dynamic, the authors have developed a summarising model (see model 5.1 in chapter 5). Method: The study is of qualitative character with an abductive research approach, where the empirical data have been collected through semi-structured interviews and a collective case study design with ten informants who practise self-leadership, and then analysed by the Gioia method. Findings: The chain process of self-leadership is holistic and what maintains it active are feelings of well-being, competence, and efficacy, as well as succeeding, contributing to a greater good and seeing things in a greater context. Of significance is to be reminded and followed up regularly.
