Abstract (Swedish)
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om de fyra dimensionerna av identitetsledarskap (prototypikalitet, avancemang, entreprenörskap och direktörskap) predicerade olika former av socialt stöd (upplevt stöd från närmaste chef och stöd från medarbetare) samt social gemenskap på arbetsplatsen. Insamlingen av data utfördes i Sverige i form av en digital enkätundersökning som besvarades av personer som hade uppgett att de har eller tidigare hade haft en anställning (N = 160). Studiens resultat visade att summan av identitetsledarskapsdimensionerna var positivt relaterat till medarbetarnas upplevelse av stöd från deras närmaste chef och till social gemenskap. Det påvisades även att entreprenörskap var en signifikant prediktor av upplevt stöd... (More)

Det påvisades även att entreprenörskap var en signifikant prediktor av upplevt stöd från närmaste chef och stöd från medarbetare samt social gemenskap. Vidare indikerade resultaten att tre av fyra dimensioner (prototypikalitet, avancemang och entreprenörskap) av identitetsledarskap var signifikant relaterat till upplevt stöd från närmaste chef. Det som upptäcktes i denna studie är av värde för chefer, organisationer och andra som önskar öka sin förståelse för hur upplevelser av stöd och gemenskap kan skapas inom organisationer. (Less)
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine if the four dimensions of identity leadership (prototypicality, advancement, entrepreneurship and impresarioship) could predict different forms of social support (perceived supervisorial support and collegial support) as well as social community in the workplace. The data was collected in Sweden through a digital survey which was answered by people who had stated that they either currently were employed or previously have been employed (N = 160). The results of the study revealed that the sum of all the identity leadership dimensions were positively related to employee’s perception of social support from their closest manager and the perception of social community. The results also confirmed that... (More)
The purpose of this study was to examine if the four dimensions of identity leadership (prototypicality, advancement, entrepreneurship and impresarioship) could predict different forms of social support (perceived supervisorial support and collegial support) as well as social community in the workplace. The data was collected in Sweden through a digital survey which was answered by people who had stated that they either currently were employed or previously have been employed (N = 160). The results of the study revealed that the sum of all the identity leadership dimensions were positively related to employee’s perception of social support from their closest manager and the perception of social community. The results also confirmed that entrepreneurship was a significant predictor of supervisorial support, collegial support as well as social community. Furthermore, the results indicated that three out of four dimensions (prototypicality, advancement and entrepreneurship) of identity leadership were significantly related to perceived support from immediate supervisors. What was revealed in this study is of value for supervisors, organizations and others that wish to increase their understanding of how to create a sense of perceived support and community within organizations.
