Abstract (Swedish)
Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det finns en relation mellan upplevelsen av
destruktivt ledarskap från närmsta chef och upplevelsen av stress respektive utbrändhet hos anställda. Studien undersökte även om det finns en relation mellan aktivt respektive passivt destruktivt ledarskap och stress respektive utbrändhet. Slutligen syftade studien till att undersöka om det finns en relation mellan någon av de destruktiva ledarskapsfacetterna och stress respektive utbrändhet. I studien användes mätverktyget Destrudo-L för att skatta upplevelsen av aktivt respektive passivt destruktivt ledarskap, och COPSOQ II för skattning av stress respektive utbrändhet. Studien vill bidra med kunskap om ledarskapets betydelse för den psykosociala... (More)

Studien vill bidra med kunskap om ledarskapets betydelse för den psykosociala arbetsmiljön på svenska arbetsplatser. Tidigare forskning kring konsekvenser av destruktivt ledarskap har varit begränsad. Datainsamlingen genomfördes med en digital enkätundersökning. Den besvarades dels av anställda på en kommunal förvaltning i Malmö, dels av respondenter från LinkedIn och Facebook (N=136). Studiens resultat visade att högre nivåer av destruktivt ledarskap relaterar till högre stress och utbrändhets- nivåer hos anställda.
Vidare visade studien att aktivt destruktivt ledarskap relaterar till högre stress och
utbrändhets- nivåer och passivt destruktivt ledarskap till högre utbrändhetsnivåer, hos medarbetare. Slutligen visade studien att den passiva facetten osäker/otydlig/rörig relaterar till högre stress och utbrändhets- nivåer hos medarbetare. Resultaten kan bidra till ökad kunskap om hur destruktivt ledarskap kan kopplas till stress respektive utbrändhet hos anställda. (Less)
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate whether there was a relationship between the experience of destructive leadership by the immediate manager and the experience of stress and burnout among employees. The study also investigated whether there was a
relationship between active and passive destructive leadership and stress and burnout.
Finally, the study aimed to investigate whether there was a relationship between any of the destructive leadership facets and stress and burnout. The study used the measurement tool Destrudo-L to estimate the experience of active and passive destructive leadership, and COPSOQ II to estimate stress and burnout. The study aims to contribute knowledge about the importance of leadership for the... (More)

Finally, the study aimed to investigate whether there was a relationship between any of the destructive leadership facets and stress and burnout. The study used the measurement tool Destrudo-L to estimate the experience of active and passive destructive leadership, and COPSOQ II to estimate stress and burnout. The study aims to contribute knowledge about the importance of leadership for the psychosocial work environment in Swedish workplaces. Previous research on the consequences of destructive leadership has been limited. Data collection was carried out with a digital questionnaire. It was answered partly by employees at a municipal administration in Malmö, and partly by respondents from LinkedIn and Facebook (N=136). The results of the study showed that destructive leadership is related to higher stress and burnout levels in employees. Furthermore, the study showed that active destructive leadership is related to higher stress and burnout levels and passive destructive leadership to higher burnout levels in employees. Finally, the study showed that the facet uncertain/unclear/disorganized is related to higher stress
and burnout levels in employees. The results can contribute to increased knowledge about how destructive leadership can be linked to stress and burnout in employees. (Less)
