När din chef lämnar dig: Anställdas upplevelse av ett chefsbyte
(2023) PSYK11 20222Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur fastanställda på den svenska arbetsmarknaden upplever att de påverkas av ett chefsbyte. Undersökningen analyserar betydelsen det kan ha för den anställda samt vilka faktorer som kan påverka och orsaka ett negativt eller positivt upplevt chefsbyte. Detta skulle kunna vara något de flesta företag skulle ha användning av vid ett chefsbyte, vilket gör ämnet intressant att undersöka. Tidigare studier föreslår att chefen har stor inverkan och betydelse för den anställda. Studien genomfördes som en kvalitativ intervjustudie för att kunna undersöka ämnet på djupet. Sex stycken intervjupersoner från skilda branscher inom den svenska arbetsmarknaden deltog. Resultatet visade fyra huvudteman med... (More)

Tidigare studier föreslår att chefen har stor inverkan och betydelse för den anställda. Studien genomfördes som en kvalitativ intervjustudie för att kunna undersöka ämnet på djupet. Sex stycken intervjupersoner från skilda branscher inom den svenska arbetsmarknaden deltog. Resultatet visade fyra huvudteman med respektive tre underteman. Första huvudtemat: Olika inställning till chefsbytet, med tre underteman: Oro och rädslor, Roligt och välkomnat och Förståelse inför bytet. Andra huvudtemat: Chefsbytet påverkade inte arbetet. Med underteman: Självständigt arbete, Informella ledare och Oförändrad motivation. Tredje huvudtemat: Positiv upplevelse av chefsbytet med underteman: Ny chef mer insatt än tidigare chef, Förväntningar på chefsbytet överskreds och Ökad motivation, stöd och möjligheter. Sista huvudtemat: Negativ upplevelse av chefsbytet, med underteman: Ny chef mindre insatt än tidigare chef, Förväntningar av chefsbytet uppfylldes inte och Avsaknad kommunikation och stöd. Resultatet pekade även på att om den nya chefen är mer insatt i arbetstagarens arbete än den förra chefen kommer chefsbytet upplevas positivt, och tvärtom om den nya chefen är mindre insatt än den gamla chefen kommer chefsbytet upplevas negativ.

- Abstract
- The aim of this study was to investigate how permanent employees on the Swedish labor market perceive they are affected by a change of manager. The study
analyzes the significance it can have for the employee, as well as which factors can influence and cause a negatively or positively experienced change. This information could benefit most companies when changing managers, which makes the topic interesting to investigate. Previous studies suggest that a manager has a great impact and importance on employees. This examination is conducted as a qualitative interview study in order to investigate the subject in depth. Six interviewees from different industries within the Swedish labor market participated. The result showed four main themes...

Previous studies suggest that a manager has a great impact and importance on employees. This examination is conducted as a qualitative interview study in order to investigate the subject in depth. Six interviewees from different industries within the Swedish labor market participated. The result showed four main themes with three sub themes respectively. First main theme: Different attitudes towards the change of manager, with three sub-themes: Anxieties and fears, Fun and welcome and Understanding towards the change. Second main theme: The change of manager did not affect the work, with sub-themes: Independent work, Informal leaders and Unchanged motivation. Third main theme: Positive experience of the change of manager, with sub-themes: New manager more involved than previous manager, Expectations of the change of manager were exceeded and Increased motivation, support and opportunities. Last main theme: Negative experience of the change of manager, with sub-themes: New manager less involved than previous manager, Expectations of the change of manager were not met and Lack of communication and support. The result also indicated that if the new manager is more familiar with the employee's work than the previous manager, the change of manager will be perceived positively, and conversely if the new manager is less experienced than the previous manager, the change of manager will be perceived negatively.
