Abstract [sv]

Syfte: Denna studies syfte är att öka förståelsen för hur olika ledarskapsstilar påverkar konflikthantering bland chefer inom bank.

Metod: I denna studie har en kvalitativ metod använts för att samla in data. För att samla in det empiriska materialet har vi använt oss utav semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex respondenter. Till grund för vår studie har vi använt oss utav tre olika ledarskapsstilar och fem olika konflikthanteringsstilar. Materialet har analyserats mot de valda stilarna.

Resultat och slutsats: Vår studie har visat att den transformativa ledarskapsstilen samt att den tillmötesgående konflikthanteringsstilen är dem mest använda i vår studie. Studiens resultat har också visat att

Examensarbetets bidrag: Vår studie har bidragit med en ökad förståelse för ämnet genom en kvalitativ metod. Studie har även bidragit till ett ytterligare perspektiv i form utav en bransch som vi inte sett tidigare. Genom detta bidrag ser vi att banker inom Sverige kan använda sig utav vår studie samt fortsatt forskning inom ämnet.

Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Våra förslag för framtida forskning är att studera ämnet inom samma bransch fast inom ett och samma företag. Detta för att på så sätt se om det finns skillnader inom ledarskapet och konflikthantering på samma arbetsplats. Förslag på vidare forskning skulle också kunna vara att använda sig utav både enkät och intervju för en bredare syn på ämnet samt en större målgrupp.

Abstract [en]

Aim: The aim of this study is to increase the understanding of how different leadership styles affect conflict management among managers in banking.

Method: In this study, a qualitative method has been used to collect data. To collect the empirical material, we have used semi-structured interviews with six respondents. As a basis for our study, we have used three different leadership styles and five different conflict management styles. The material has been analyzed against the chosen styles.

Results and conclusions: Our study has shown that the transformative leadership style is the most common and that the accommodating conflict management style is the most common. The results of the study have also shown that a high degree of transformative leadership is linked to the collaborative and accommodating conflict management style. A high degree of transactional leadership is linked to the compromising and accommodating conflict management style. The study also shows that it is common for a leader to use parts from different leadership styles and that it is common for leaders to use different conflict management styles depending on the conflict situation.

Contribution of the thesis: Our study has contributed to an increased understanding of the subject through a qualitative method. The study has also contributed to an additional perspective in the form of an industry that we have not seen before. Through this grant, we see that banks in Sweden can make use of our study and continued research in the subject.

Suggestions for future research: Our proposals for future research are to study the subject within the same industry but within one and the same company. This is to see if there are differences in leadership and conflict management in the same workplace. Suggestions for further research could also be to use both a questionnaire and an interview for a broader view of the subject and a larger target group.
