Leadership and learningfrom a negative perspective : A quantitative study about the relationship between toxic leadership and work-based learning (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund och syfte:

Toxiskt ledarskap och arbetsbaserat lärande är två fenomen inom organisationsforskningen som båda relaterar till arbetsprestation. Studiens syfte är därför att undersöka hur toxiskt ledarskap och arbetsbaserat lärande samvarierar.

Metod:

En kvantitativ undersökning genomfördes med datainsamling via en internetbaserad enkät. Enkäten bestod av två validerade instrument – Learning Potential of the Workplace (LPW) och Toxic Leadership Scale (TLS) samt kontrollvariabler. Studien har ett bekvämlighetsurval med 161 respondenter. I analys har korrelationsanalys och multipel linjär regressionsanalys genomförts.

Resultat:

Studien fann ett medelstarkt negativt signifikant samband mellan toxiskt ledarskap och arbetsbaserat lärande. Sambandet kvarstod när kontrollvariabler vägdes in i analysen men sjönk då till ett svagt negativt samband. Self Determination Theory används för att analysera resultaten.

Slutsats:

Toxiskt ledarskap samvarierar negativt med arbetsbaserat lärande, vilket speglar betydelsen av negativt ledarskap för lärande och arbetsprestation.

Abstract [en]

Background and purpose:

In organisational research, toxic leadership and work-based learning both correlate negatively to performance. The purpose of the current study is therefore to examine the relationship between toxic leadership and work-based learning.

Method:

A quantitative method was used. Data was collected through an internet-based survey. The survey was composed of two validated instruments – Learning Potential of the Workplace (LPW) and Toxic Leadership Scale (TLS) and control variables. The study has a convenience sample with 161 respondents. Analysis was made through correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. Self Determination Theory (SDT) is used to analyse results.

Results:

The study found a medium strength negative significant correlation between toxic leadership and work-based learning. The correlation prevailed when control variables were weighed in, although it lessened to a weak negative correlation.

Conclusion:

Toxic leadership correlates negatively with work-based learning, reflecting the power of negative leaderships on learning and performance.
