Abstract [sv]

Önskvärda ledarskapskompetenser är ett väl utforskat område, dock finns det relativt lite forskning som berör ämnet inom industrin i Sverige. Syftet med denna studie var därför att få en ökad förståelse för vad medarbetare som är verkande i en global industriorganisation upplever som viktiga kompetenser för ett optimalt ledarskap. Studien bygger på empiri från nio kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med anställda från den globala industriorganisationen.

Resultatet visar att chefer som besitter både generisk- och yrkeskompetens visar sig tillsammans uppnå det mest optimala ledarskapet. Slutsatsen som dras är att medarbetarna upplever en kombination av generisk- och yrkeskompetens som mest gynnsamt och att de ej går att styrka att den ena kompetensen är viktigare än den andra. Ytterligare en annan slutsats som denna studie kan bidra med är en ny synvinkel till teorin gällande uppdelningen mellan generisk- och yrkeskompetens. Empirin i studien har visat en sammanslagning av både generisk- och yrkeskompetens och menar att om dessa särskiljs helt åt kan det uppvisa en missvisande bild av kompetenserna. 

Abstract [en]

Desirable leadership skills are a well-explored area, however, there is relatively little research on the subject within industry in Sweden. The purpose of this study was therefore to gain an increased understanding of what employees who are working in a global industrial organization experience as important competencies for optimal leadership. The study is based on empirical evidence from nine qualitative semi-structured interviews with employees from the global industrial organization.

The result shows that managers who possess both generic and professional competence together achieve the most optimal leadership. The conclusion that is drawn is that the employees experience a combination of generic and professional competence as the most favorable and that they cannot prove that one competenceis more important than the other.

Another conclusion that this study can contribute is a new point of view to the theory regarding the division between generic and professional competence. The experience in the study has shown an amalgamation of both generic and professional competences and believes that if these are separated completely, it can present a misleading picture of the competences.
