Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka relationen mellan transformativ, transaktionell – och låt - gå ledarstil och psykologisk trygghet hos medarbetare. En enkät med 40 frågor och påståenden utformades för att mäta arbetstagares upplevda psykologiska trygghet samt deras uppfattning av sin närmsta chefs ledarstil. Påståendena och frågorna baserades på mätinstrumenten Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) och Edmondsons frågor som mäter psykologisk trygghet. Resultatet påvisade signifikanta korrelationer mellan psykologisk trygghet och de två ledarskapsstilarna transformativt och låt-gå. Transformativt ledarskap var positivt relaterad till psykologisk trygghet medan Låt-gå var negativt relaterad till psykologisk trygghet. En multipel regression visade att samtliga ledarskapsstilar kunde förklara en signifikant del av variansen i psykologisk trygghet där den transformativa ledarskapsstilen var associerad med mer psykologisk trygghet medan transaktionell- och låt-gå-ledarskapsstil var associerade med mindre psykologisk trygghet. Slutsatsen i denna studie tyder på att den transformativa ledarskapsstilen är lämplig att utöva för att uppnå psykologisk trygghet bland medarbetare.  

Abstract [en]

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between transformative, transactional, and laissez-faire leadership styles with employee psychological safety. A questionnaire comprising 40 items was designed to assess employees' perceived psychological safety and their perception of their immediate supervisor's leadership style. The statements and questions were based on the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) and Edmondson's questions measuring psychological safety. The results showed significant correlations between psychological safety and the two leadership styles transformative and laissez-faire. Transformative leadership was positively related to psychological safety, whereas laissez-faire leadership was negatively related. Multiple regression analysis indicated that all leadership styles could account for a significant portion of the variance in psychological safety, transformative leadership was positively associated with psychological safety, while laissez-faire leadership was negatively associated with psychological safety The findnings suggests that the transformative leadership style is suitable for promoting psychological safety among employees.
