Preferred leadership in the restaurant industry : A comparison of leadership preferences between male and female employees (English)
Abstract [sv]

Studien undersöker preferenser för ledarskap bland män och kvinnor inom restaurangbranschen. Tidigare studier har lagt mycket fokus på att undersöka om det finns skillnader i det manliga kontra det kvinnliga ledarskapet. Det kan således anses finnas ett begränsat antal tidigare studier inom forskningsområdet för hur manliga och kvinnliga anställda vill att sin ledare ska vara. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och använder semistrukturerade intervjuer. Metodvalet grundar sig i att studien hoppas kunna identifiera likheter, skillnader och eventuella mönster i informanternas preferenser för ledarskap. Resultatet utgår från identifierade teman som baseras på det insamlade materialet. Resultatet indikerar att både män och kvinnor värderar egenskaper som självständighet, tillit och flexibilitet högt hos deras närmaste ledare. Det identifierades även vissa skillnader baserat på genus i informanternas preferenser. Kvinnliga anställda efterfrågar även lyhördhet hos en ledare medan manliga talar om vikten av tydliga direktiv från närmsta chef. Avslutningsvis kan inte studiens fastställa några specifika mönster mellan kvinnor och mäns prefererade ledarskap. Studiens resultat hoppas kunna hjälpa ledare inom restaurangbranschen att förbättra sin ledarstil och skapa en mer tillfredsställande arbetsmiljö för sina anställda. Studien är skriven på svenska. 

Abstract [en]

The study examines leadership preferences among men and women in the restaurant industry. Previous studies have focused a lot on investigating whether there are differences in male versus female leaders. It can however be considered that there is a limited amount of studies that contribute to the research area of ??how male and female employees want their leader to be. The study has a qualitative approach designed and uses semi-structured interviews as the research method. The choice of method is based on the hope of identifying similarities, differences and possible patterns in the informants' preferences for leadership. The result is based on the identified themes from the collected material. The results indicate that both men and women value qualities such as independence, trust and flexibility highly in their immediate leaders. Certain differences were also identified based on the gender in the informants preferences. Female employees also request responsiveness from a leader as an important leading feature, while males talk more about the importance of clear directives from the immediate superior. In conclusion, the study cannot establish any specific patterns between women's and men's preferred leadership. However there are tendencies to identify patterns between men's and women's preferences for leadership, which also moves the study forward to continued research in the field. These findings can help restaurant managers improve their leadership style and create a more satisfying work environment for their employees. Following is this study written in swedish.
