Abstract [en]

As hybrid work transitions from a temporary pandemic-era band-aid to the normal way of working, the purpose of this thesis is to gain more knowledge about the new demands on leadership from the perspective of leaders and employees. Building on top of transformational and servant leadership theory, this thesis explores how perceived leader effectiveness in hybrid world is influenced by leadership style, hybrid work, culture, connection and community between people managers and employees. The thesis is based on a case study and adopts a qualitative narrative analysis of manager semi-structured interviews and written interviews with employees. The findings show that the predominant leadership style in remote or hybrid situation at The Company is servant leadership, where trust is the most critical leadership skill amongst leaders and responsive is the leadership attribute most crucial in the eyes of the employees.
