Relationen mellan ledare och medarbetare i en decentraliserad organisation. : Hur tar den sig uttryck i en LSS-enhet

Sammanfattning: We have completed our investigation on a LSS organization located in Västra Götalandsregionen. This organization has four leaders who has responsibility for multiple devices but do not have any physical contact daily. We have seen that organizations constantly living in some kind of change, which means that organizations are becoming more decentralized. This decentralization affects leaders' way of working in the organization, because the employees are geographically dispersed in the municipality. Our survey shows that the physical meetings between managers and employees are an important factor in creating a motivated team. This study aims to explore how the interaction between managers and employees in a decentralization organization may look to create a congenial working atmosphere. We will also present which ingredients that’s important in this organization to create a good working atmosphere. The questions are: How can the relationship between leaders and employees take place into this type of organization? What factors are important for the interaction? How is worker's perception of importance of interaction in the working atmosphere? To answer these questions we used a qualitative approach with focus group interviews. We had two different professions, leaders and employers which meant we created two interview guide, specially adapted for the focus groups. The content was the same, but adapted for the different groups. The content of the interview guides were divided into three categories, leadership, employeeship and teamwork. The study clearly shows how important the interactions between leaders and employees in a decentralized organization have for the work climate. The study also shows that social relationships are created through physical meetings, but maintained remotely by good communication
