Abstract [sv]

Ledarskap är ett konstant intressant område inom organisationsforskningen och utvecklande ledarskap sticker specifikt ut som en ledarskapsmodell anpassad till en skandinavisk kontext.

Studien syftar till att undersöka om och hur personlighetsdragen hos svenska medarbetare predicerar vilka facetter inom det utvecklande- samt positivt betonade konventionella ledarskapet som uppfattas vara viktigast. För att studera sambandet mellan personlighet och hur viktigt specifika ledarskapsegenskaper inom utvecklande ledarskap uppfattas, använder sig den här studien av en kvantitativ metod. Via en webbenkät med 154 deltagare undersöktes personlighet och hur viktigt diverse ledarskapsegenskaper ansågs med hjälp av instrumenten Personality Item Pool Representation of the NEO PI-R 30 items (IPIPNEO-30) och Developmental leadership questionnaire (DLQ). Det insamlade materialet analyserades genom två omgångar multipel linjära regressionsanalyser, med och utan kontrollvariabler.

Resultatet i studien visade att personlighetsdraget välvillighet hade flest positiva samband till de olika ledaregenskapsfacetterna inom utvecklande- samt positivt betonat konventionellt ledarskap. Även personlighetsdragen extraversion och samvetsgrannhet hade varsitt svagt samband till en av ledaregenskapsfacetterna. Överraskande visade resultatet även att kön hade ett tydligt samband med flertalet ledaregenskapsfacetter. Studien visar därmed på att det finns vissa samband mellan personlighet hos medarbetaren och hur viktiga olika ledarskapsegenskaper anses vara, vilket kan tänkas vara användbar information vid utvecklandet av ledarskap inom organisationer.

Abstract [en]

Leadership is a consistently intriguing area within organizational research, and developmental leadership stands out specifically as a leadership model tailored to a Scandinavian context.

The study aims to investigate whether and how the personality traits of Swedish employees predict which facets within developmental and positive conventional leadership are perceived to be most important. To investigate the relationship between personality and the perceived importance of specific leadership attributes within developmental leadership, this study uses a quantitative method. Through a web survey involving 154 participants, personality and the perceived importance of various leadership attributes were examined using the Personality Item Pool Representation of the NEO PI-R 30 items (IPIP-NEO-30) and Developmental Leadership Questionnaire (DLQ) instruments. The collected data were analyzed through two rounds of multiple linear regression analyses, with and without control variables.

The results of this study showed that the personality trait of Agreeableness had the most positive correlations with the various leadership attributes within developmental leadership. Additionally, the personality traits of extraversion and conscientiousness each had weak associations with one of the leadership attributes. Surprisingly, the results also showed that gender had a clear association with several leadership attributes. Thus, the study demonstrates that there are some associations between employee personality and how important various leadership attributes are perceived to be.
