Situationsanpassat ledarskap - en studie om vad i situationen som påverkar ledarskapets utformning :  

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study has been to examine what it is in the situation that affects which leadership that is applied on the members of the organization. Our questions that we have explored were; What is it in the situation that influences the leadership applied on an individual or staff group? What similarities and differences have emerged by Hersey and Blanchards situational leadership model? Further, we used qualitative semi-structured interviews at the interview procedures with three managers and three employees. Hersey and Blanchards situational leadership model and Goffmans theory in the book "The presentation of self in everyday life" have been used as a foundation and inspiration in this study. We have found that circumstances like the size of the staff group along with the organizations financials and the resources affect the leadership behavior and how well it is matched with the employees. The function of the leaders position in the context, and the purpose of the situation influences how the leadership is formed. The organizations interests and goals are also affecting what leadership that is applied, which we found that Hersey and Blanchard do not express in the situational leadership model. Another difference that we found in relation to the model is that the employees overall experienced the leadership as well adapted, even thought that they have not been designed according to what Hersey and Blanchard advocates.
