A quantitative study of managers' leadership in the public and private sectors (English)
Abstract [sv]

Denna studie är baserad på en kvantitativ metod om hur medarbetare upplever sin närmaste chefs ledarskap inom offentlig och privat sektor. Syftet med studien är att undersöka om ledarskapet skiljer sig inom respektive sektor, om det förekommer stora likheter samt skillnader, vilka typer av ledarskapsstilar som är företrädande och om det finns ett samband mellan bra ledarskap och ledarens kön. I studien redovisas teoretiska ramverk som sätts i förhållande till studiens resultat. Teorier som anses relevanta till studien är ledarskapsteori, organisationsteori och ledarskapsstilar. Studien genomfördes med hjälp av enkätundersökningar som organisationer och verksamheter inom offentlig och privat sektor fick ta del av inom Borås. Vi har använt oss av ett bekvämlighetsurval, alltså ett icke-slumpmässigt urval. Efter att samtliga respondenter besvarat enkäten gjorde vi en datainsamling med hjälp av ett datorprogram för statiska analyser som sedan analyserades för att kunna besvara studiens frågeställningar. De slutsatser som kunde dras utifrån studien var att det inte förekom några märkbart stora skillnader mellan hur ledarna uppfattas. Respondenterna som deltog i vår studie hade liknande uppfattning om samtliga frågor som ställdes i enkäten inom båda sektorerna. Studien visade även att det var betydligt fler kvinnliga chefer än manliga inom båda sektorerna, vilket inte stämde överens med forskning som visar att organisationer genomsyras av flest manliga chefer.

Abstract [en]

This study is based on a quantitative method on how employees experience their superior's leadership in the public and private sector. The aim of the study is to investigate whether leadership differs within each sector, whether similarities and differences occurs, which types of leadership styles are predominant and whether there is a connection between good leadership and gender. The study presents a theoretical framework that is set in relation to the study's results. Theories considered relevant to the study are leadership theory, organizational theory and leadership styles. The study was carried out with the help of questionnaire surveys that organizations in the public and private in the city of Borås. We used a convenience sample which is a non-random sample where people could choose for themselves whether they wanted to participate. When we submitted all the answers from the survey, we collected data using a computer program for static analysis, which then was analyzed to help us answer the study's questions. The conclusions that could be drawn from the study were that there were no noticeably significant differences between how the leaders are perceived. The respondents who took part in our study had similar views on all the questions asked in the survey in both sectors. The study also showed that there were significantly more female managers than male managers in both sectors, which didn´t agree with previous research. Previous research showed that organizations are permeated by most male managers.
