Ledarskap i byggprojektet - Vikten av rolltydlighet för ett välfungerande samarbete inom produktionsledningen

Sammanfattning: A construction project is sometimes described as a creative chaos, which refers to the fact that a construction project is in constant motion. The people involved in a construction project are often there under different conditions, different periods of time and with different purposes. The decisive factor for the construction project to proceed efficiently with good motivation for employees is that there is a clear leader in place. The leader should ensure that employees work under the same values and towards the same goal, and it is also important that the group receives ongoing feedback and coaching. How the leader chooses to go about making this is up to the leader; people expect different characteristics of a leader and there are therefore many ways to go. A good leader in a construction project is the one who can do something good of the unexpected. With new prerequisites in each project, it is common with surprises that a leader should be able to handle even in stressful situations. Communication is crucial for working together and contributing to the clarification of the roles that work at the construction site as communication provides insight into and understanding of each other's tasks. This report examines how leadership looks and works in a construction site today, looking into the leadership and leadership role that exists and the relationships between them. The work also explores the possibilities and problems of communication and collaboration within production management. This is done through a case study with qualitative interviews as the study wishes to describe a specific case with a particular purpose in a deeper way. Interviews are continued with roles that are part of the production management, which primarily works with the aim of making production progress without obstacles, to find out how they perceive their social reality. The result shows that no general job descriptions for production management are currently used and that the term "immediate boss" is unclear for the employees as they choose to turn to different leadership characters in different situations. That there is no clear managerial figure for each individual employee and that there are no job descriptions to lean against affects, inter alia, the quality of the development talks held annually with employees of the case company. Communication within the production management takes place primarily in passing and sitting in open office landscapes contributes to facilitating communication, although it can also cause difficulties in prioritizing employees. Each project should furthermore work more with constructive feedback to promote the organization's cooperation and the individual's personal development.
