To create a sense of coherence through relationships at a distance : A study about leadership, sense och coherence and teleworking (English)
Abstract [en]

The writers have examined how leaders relate to leadership at a distance and throughrelationships with their employees create a sense of coherence. Leaders refer to people whocurrently work in a leading role such as employer, manager or who have tasks whereleadership is a central part. The study was conducted using a qualitative method where eightleaders were respondents. The empirics collected through the interviews were later analyzedwith a qualitative data analysis where the empirics were categorized and then compared withthe other empirics. The empiric was then presented in the form of quotes from the respondents.The subsequent step was that the empirics were analyzed with previous research on LMX,KASAM, the employees' mood and performance. Furthermore, the quotations were alsoanalyzed with the help of the theoretical framework that consisted of the leadership theories,LMX and KASAM. The results showed that leaders experience that it is difficult to relate toleadership at a distance and this is partly due to the lack of body language and other signalsthat can be perceived in physical presence. The study's conclusion shows that the leader hasneeded to use more communication to satisfy the sense of coherence in the relationship withthe employees.

Abstract [sv]

Skribenterna har undersökt hur ledare förhåller sig till ledarskap på distans och genomrelationer till sina medarbetare skapar känslan av sammanhang. Ledare avser personer som idagsläget arbetar i en ledande roll så som arbetsgivare, chef eller som har arbetsuppgifter därledarskap är en central del. Studien genomfördes med en kvalitativ metod där åtta ledare harvarit respondenter. Empirin som samlades in genom intervjuerna analyserades sedermera meden kvalitativ dataanalys där empirin kategoriserades och därefter jämfördes med den övrigaempirin. Empirin presenterades sedan i form av citat från respondenterna. Efterföljande stegvar att empirin analyserades med tidigare forskning om LMX, KASAM, medarbetarnasmående och prestationer. Vidare analyserades även citaten med hjälp av det teoretiskaramverket som utgjordes av ledarskapsteorierna, LMX och KASAM. Resultatet visade på attledare upplever att det är svårt att förhålla sig till ledarskap på distans och att detta bland annatberor på avsaknaden av kroppsspråk och andra signaler som kan uppfattas i fysisk närvaro.Studiens slutsats visar på att ledaren har behövt använda sig mer av kommunikation för atttillgodose känslan av sammanhang i relationen till medarbetarna.
