Hur organisationskultur och motivationsfaktorer kan påverka effektivitet inom självorganiserande företag / How organizational culture and motivational factors can affect efficiency in self-organizing companiesFomina, Anna January 2020 (has links)
I dagens organisationer blir teamarbete allt vanligare för att uppnå dem organisatoriska målen. Denna decentralisering formas på grund av den komplexitet som finns i vissa arbetsuppgifter, sådana uppgifter som enskilda medarbetare inte har kunskaperna till. Ofta behövs det flera kompetensområden för att slutföra ett projekt eller uppnå ett organisatoriskt mål. Att arbeta i team kan då vara en lösning (Courtney, Navarro, & O'Hare, 2007). Detta sätt att arbeta på kan också gynna kreativitet, flexibilitet och produktivitet (Sutherland & Schwaber, 2016). Detta är en kvalitativ studie där intervjuer genomförs med medlemmar i två självorganiserande företag. Under den teoretiska referensramen beskrivs de modeller som senare utgör en tolkningsmodell för hur motivation, organisationskultur och effektivitet kan samspela i ett självorganiserade företag. Syftet med denna uppsats är att få reda på hur motivationsfaktorer och kulturfaktorer kan påverka effektiviteten i självorganiserande team. Studien visar på att en välfungerande kommunikation och ett starkt samarbete är viktiga faktorer för att ett team ska kunna vara effektivt. Om det uppstår störningar exempelvis i form av konkurrens inom organisationen eller brister i samarbetet kan detta påverka effektiviteten oerhört negativt. Studien indikerar även att kompetens är en av de största motivationsfaktorerna inom självorganiserande team. / In today’s organizations teamwork is becoming more common to achieve organizational goals. This decentralization is formed because of the complexity that exists in certain tasks, tasks hat individual employees do not have the knowledge in. Often several areas of competence are needed to complete a project or achieve an organizational goal. Working in team can then be a solution (Courtney, Navarro, & O'Hare, 2007). This way of working can also promote creativity, flexibility and productivity (Sutherland & Schwaber, 2016). This is a qualitative study where interviews with members of two self-organizing companies are conducted. The theoretical framework describes the models that later will constitute an interpretational model for how motivation, organizational culture and efficiency can interact in as self-organized company. The purpose of this paper is to find out how motivational factors and cultural factors can influence the effectiveness in self-organized teams. This study shows that a well-functioning communication and a strong collaboration are important factors for a team to be effective. If there are disruptions, for example in the form of competition within the organization or lack of cooperation, this can have a negative impact of efficiency. This study also indicates that competence is one of the biggest motivational factors within self-organizing teams.

Agilt ledarskap : Ett sätt att leda en organisation med medarbetaren i centrum / Agile leadership : A way to lead an organization with the employee as the main focusFors, Victor, Hillerbratt, Anna, Sandén, Sara January 2017 (has links)
Titel: Agilt ledarskap – Ett sätt att leda en organisation med medarbetaren i centrum. Författare: Anna Hillerbratt, Victor Fors & Sara Sandén Institution: Linnéuniversitetet, Ekonomihögskolan. Program: Human Resource Management. Kurs: Företagsekonomi III – Organisation, Kandidatuppsats. Handledare: Olle Duhlin Examinator: Mikael Lundgren Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att genom tolkning och värdering av organisationers beteenden skapa en uppfattning av det agila ledarskapet. Syftet är även att förstå om och hur det agila ledarskapet kan appliceras på organisationer oavsett om agila metoder används eller ej. Studien är intressant för studenter och ledare men även individer vilka är intresserade av hur ledarskap kan komma att se ut i förhållande till framtidens organisationer. Metod: En fallstudie som behandlar agilt ledarskap ur ett organisationsperspektiv. Studien har genomförts med en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi och en induktiv metod. Slutsats: Vi har genom tidigare forskning av det agila uppfattat att fokus initialt legat på den praktiska tillämpningen av agila metoder, och att det saknades en ledarskapsteori baserad på de två huvudsyftena i det agila synsättet. Resultatet av studien är därför den egenutvecklade VAS-modellen, Vilja, Anpassning, Samarbete. Modellens värdegrund är: Med de anställdas utveckling i centrum skapar vi tillsammans en attraktiv arbetsplats och en lönsam organisation, en organisation som kan säkerställa frekvent leverans av kvalitet och på så sätt tillgodose kundens behov samt vara lyhörd för förändring. Nyckelord: Agil, agilt synsätt, ledarskap, självstyrande team, kommunikation, motivation, flexibilitet. / Title: Agile leadership – a way to lead an organization with the employee as the main focus. Authors: Anna Hillerbratt, Victor Fors & Sara Sandén Institution: Linnaeus University, School of Business and Economics. Program: Human Resource Management. Course: Business Administration III – Organization, Supervisor: Olle Duhlin Examiner: Mikael Lundgren Purpose: The purpose of this study is to create an understanding of agile leadership through the interpretation and valuation of organizational behaviors. The purpose is also to understand if and how agile leadership can be applied to organizations regardless of whether or not agile methods are used. The study is interesting for students and leaders, but also individuals who are interested in how leadership can develop in relation to future organizations. Methodology: A case study that adresses agile leadership from an organizational perspective. The study was conducted with a qualitative method and an inductive approach. Conclusions: We have, through previous research, perceived that the focus of the agile methodologies initially was based on the practical application of agile methods and that there was no leadership theory based on the two main purposes of the agile approach. The results of the study is therefore a self-developed VAS-model. The basic principle of the model is: With the employees as the main focus we create an attractive workplace and a profitable organization, an organization that ensures frequent delivery of quality, thus meeting customer needs and being responsive to change. Key words: agile, agile approach, leadership, self-organizing teams, communication, motivation, flexibility.

Det agila ledarskapets inverkan på de anställdas motivation : En studie inom svenska banksektornLiverstrand, Amilia, Reichard, Sigge January 2018 (has links)
Syfte: Studiens syfte är att öka förståelsen för det agila ledarskapet och hur det främjar de anställdas motivation. Metod: Vid genomförande av studien har en kvalitativ metod tillämpats där empiri samlats in med hjälp av tio semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Intervjuerna har, i kombination med insamlad teori från vetenskapliga artiklar, utgjort underlag för den data som har bearbetats i analysen och följaktligen lett fram till studiens slutsats. Resultat & Slutsats: Studien visar att agilt ledarskap kan utövas i olika typer av roller med den gemensamma uppgiften att främja ett agilt arbetssätt. Agila ledare kan öka motivationen hos individen genom att delegera ansvar, uppmuntra till självständighet och se till att teamet strävar efter gemensamma mål som ligger i linje med organisationens mål. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Denna studie har fokuserat på ledarens perspektiv på ledarskapets relation till det agila arbetssättet. Liknande studier med medarbetarens perspektiv hade skapat ytterligare underlag för att dra slutsatser kring hur ledarens prestationer fungerar i praktiken. Det finns även ett behov av att sätta det agila ledarskapet i relation till organisatorisk agility. Med frågeställningar kring det agila arbetssättet ur ett organisatoriskt perspektiv kan nya insikter nås och forskningen inom området bli mer heltäckande. Uppsatsens bidrag: Studien har bidragit med ökad förståelse för agilt ledarskap inom banksektorn samt hur agila ledare arbetar för att främja motivation hos de anställda. Studien riktar sig till forskare inom ledarskap som är intresserade av att erhålla en fördjupad bild av hur det agila ledarskapet inom banksektorn fungerar, samt vad det har för kopplingar till motivation. Studien är även av intresse för ledare som finner intresse för att lära sig mer om agila arbetssätt, agilt ledarskap samt motivation. / Purpose: The purpose of the study is to increase the understanding of the agile leadership and how agile leaders cultivate motivation for the employees. Method: A qualitative method was used to collect data from ten semi-structured interviews. This data, in combination with relevant theory within the domain of the study, laid the foundation for the results and conclusions of the study. Results and conclusions: The study shows that agile leadership can be applied in different roles with the common task of promoting agile workplaces. Agile leaders increase the motivation for individuals through delegating responsibilities, encouraging independence, and ensuring that the team strives for common goals that are in line with the organization's goals. Future research: This study has focused on the leaders’ perspective on the leadership’s relation to the agile work method. A similar study with the employees’ perspective should contribute with additional research to draw conclusions about how well the leaders’ performance actually works in practice. We also find it interesting to put agile leadership in relation to organizational agility. With questions about the agile way of working from an organizational perspective, the research area can be enhanced with valuable insights. Contribution: The study has contributed to an increased understanding of agile leadership in the banking sector and of how agile leaders work to promote motivation among employees. The study is directed towards the scholar who is interested in obtaining a deeper understanding of how the agile leadership in the banking sector works in practice and its links to motivation. The study is also of interest to leaders who find interest in learning more about agile working methods, agile leadership and motivation.

Agile Practices in Production Development : Investigation of how agile practices may be applied in a production development context and what the expected effects are.Anderzon, Samuel, Davidsson, Filip January 2021 (has links)
Globalization has continuously brought an increased competition among companies, which entails a need for faster and more frequent deliveries of new products. Traditional project management methods, such as stage-gate and waterfall, are commonly used in production development projects and builds on a sequential approach. These methods have proven to have some disadvantages in flexibility, long lead times and it often creates communication barriers between the actors at each stage. The software industry has already encountered these obstacles and responded by introducing agile project management. Which improves the adaptability and allow changes to be made, due to new requirements from stakeholders or customers, throughout the entire development process. However, it remains unknown how agile models can improve production development. The purpose of this study was therefore to investigate how agile models can be applied to production development and what the effects are. The authors have performed a case study at eight different companies within the automotive industry. The purpose of it has been to gain a deeper understanding about the case companies current production development processes and review how familiar the organizations are with the concept of agile project management. The extraction of the empirical data was conducted by questionnaires, interviews, and document reviews. An analyzation was done by comparing the empirical findings with the theoretical background out of eleven different categories that relates to project management (e.g., project goals, process, customer integration etc.). The analyzation concluded that the case company exclusively conducts their production development project by using a sequential approach. The analyzation and the eleven categories where, together with the theoretical background about agile project management, later used to create the result by brainstorming different practices to become more agile. The results are presented out of three different scenarios, depending how agile the companies would like to be. For instance, are two process models suggested, one that is completely agile and one that is a hybrid of an agile and a stage-gate. Furthermore, are the implementation of self-organized teams, holistic approach towards internal and external partners, and reduced demand for documentation some of the practices that are suggested. Additionally, are three considerable aspects for the implementation presented. The expected outcome and effects of applying these practices are discussed in the final chapter. Some of these outcomes are a company culture that will attract and retain talented personnel, where shared responsibilities and authorities triggers the employees to an increased commitment and sense of ownership towards their projects. Furthermore, are the companies expected to experience a more flexible and responsive approach towards conducting production development projects with a high focus on customer requirements and creating customer value.
