Ledarskap på ett medicintekniskt bolag: en studie om engagemang och upplevd effektivitet
(2023) PSYK11 20222Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Syftet med studien var att undersöka det utvecklande ledarskapets positiva utfall i form av engagemang och upplevd effektivitet på ett medicintekniskt bolag. Vidare ämnade studien att utforska eventuella samband mellan det utvecklande ledarskapets dimensioner (föredömligt autentiskt handlande, personlig omtanke samt inspiration och motivation) och engagemang samt upplevd effektivitet. Det utvecklande ledarskapet har tidigare inte studerats i större omfattning inom STEM-organisationer och därav kan studiens unika resultat bidra med kunskap till en bransch som kan förbättra människors liv. Datainsamlingen gjordes genom en digital enkätundersökning som besvarades av medarbetare inom divisionen Devices & Software på CellaVision AB (n = 75).... (More)

Datainsamlingen gjordes genom en digital enkätundersökning som besvarades av medarbetare inom divisionen Devices & Software på CellaVision AB (n = 75). Hypotesprövning genomfördes genom t-test av oberoende medelvärden. Studiens resultat visade att den grupp av medarbetare som skattade sin chef högre på utvecklande ledarskap rapporterade signifikant högre nivåer av engagemang samt upplevd effektivitet, än medarbetare i den grupp som skattade sin chef lägre. Vidare visade sig ledarskapsdimensionen inspiration och motivation vara den enda med signifikant korrelation till både engagemang och upplevd effektivitet. Resultatet visade även att dimensionen personlig omtanke var signifikant korrelerad med upplevd effektivitet. Fynden är av värde för samarbetsorganisationens framtida arbete och bidrar till förståelsen av det utvecklande ledarskapets positiva utfall i arbetslivet. (Less)
- Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to examine the developmental leadership and its positive outcomes on a MedTech company, more specifically engagement and perceived effectiveness. Moreover, the study aimed to explore the developmental leadership dimension’s (exemplary model, individualized consideration, and inspiration and motivation) potential relationships with engagement and perceived effectiveness. The developmental leadership was shown to be inadequately researched in STEM organizations in the past. Therefore this study’s unique results can contribute to knowledge in an industry that can improve people’s lives. The data was collected through a digital survey answered by employees within the division Devices & Software at CellaVision AB... (More)

The developmental leadership was shown to be inadequately researched in STEM organizations in the past. Therefore this study’s unique results can contribute to knowledge in an industry that can improve people’s lives. The data was collected through a digital survey answered by employees within the division Devices & Software at CellaVision AB (n = 75). Hypothesis testing was made through t-tests for independent means. The results showed that the group of employees who rated their manager higher on developmental leadership also reported significantly higher levels of engagement and perceived effectiveness, than the group of employees who rated their manager lower on the leadership scale. Furthermore, it was shown that the leadership dimension of inspiration and motivation was the only one with a significant correlation to both engagement and perceived effectiveness. The result also implied that the dimension of individualized consideration was significantly correlated with perceived effectiveness. The findings are of great value to the partner organization’s future work and contribute to understanding the positive outcomes the developmental leadership can generate in the working life. (Less)
