Similarities in earlier research between leadership styles and communication forms were found, partly concerning relations and partly concerning work assignments. Our approach was based on the notion that there could be a correlation between the manager2019s choice of communication mode (informal/formal) and leadership style i.e. Relation-Oriented Behaviour Leadership style/Task-Oriented Behaviour Leadership style. A gender perspective was used in the research. The method was quantitative with a questionnaire to women managers (N=78) in the private and the public sectors.

Coaching har blivit populärt i samhället och används idag allt mer inom ledarskap, men är fortfarande ett relativt outforskat område. Coaching är en kommunikationsteknik där aktivt lyssnande och kraftfulla frågor används. Det bygger på individutveckling, lärande och prestationsökning samt måluppfyllelse. Syftet med studien är att ta reda på kostchefers uppfattning om en coachande ledarskapsroll inom måltidsservice. Huruvida coaching används av kostchefer i den offentliga måltidsservicen är av intresse för vår kommande yrkesroll.

Upplevelser av coaching hos operativa chefer i en stor organisation, som genomgår en förändringsprocess gällande arbetet kring rehabiliteringsprocessen, har behandlats utifrån en kvalitativ forskningsansats. Lärandet är en naturlig del av det dagliga arbetet för cheferna i denna stora organisation och de som intervjuats har erhålligt individuell coaching. Coachingen bygger på en lärlogik där utveckling och lärande står i centrum vilket nås genom samspel och dialog människor emellan där utgångspunkten är att se på lärande som en process knutet till erfarenheter, reflektion, kommunikation och förståelse. Chefernas arbete är präglat av flexibilitet, ansvar och utveckling. De coachade cheferna har upplevt coachingen på olika sätt och fokus i resultatet ligger därmed på de olika upplevelserna.

The research regarding the six day war and the aerial operations named Operation Moked is extensive but there are certain shortcomings in the research that examines both the operation and the principle of surprise.The aim of this paper is to contribute to this research by utilising existing military theories on the principle of surprise in order to identify indicators that are representative of surprise.  These indicators are thereafter used in a study of Operation Moked in order to examine the extent of in which the principle was utilised.The result of this research goes to show that the principle of surprise was utilised in great extent by Israel during Operation Moked..

Syftet med detta examensarbete var att studera hur unga arbetslösa individers personliga utveckling kan främjas av coaching. I studien ingick 28 arbetslösa unga individer mellan 16 och 24 år, varav 16 deltog i projektet Kubik vars mål var att coacha och stödja deltagarna i deras individuella utveckling och reducera risken för att de ska hamna i utanförskap. Metoden bestod av en kombination av intervjuer och ett kvasiexperiment utformade utifrån teorier om coaching av Johansen & Oestrich (2005), McDermott & O'Connor (1998) och Stelter (2003). De specifika beteende- och tankebeskrivningarna som studerades handlade om respondenternas upplevelser och uppfattningar om framtiden, självförtroende och sociala färdigheter och hur de eventuellt kan förändras genom coaching. Intervjuerna var av semistrukturerad karaktär och analyserades med hjälp av IPA (Interpretative phenomenological analysis).

This paper examines job coaching on the Swedish labour market. The study uses trygghetsråden, which are organizations established by an agreement from the labour and employer side, as a starting point for the study. In addition, the study examines the phenomenon from the perspective of the job coaches themselves and the coaches clients. The study concludes that job coaching is defined by the coach and the client's common goal of finding a suitable match for the client on the labour market. The job coach helps the client reach the goal of an appropriate job by making him or her aware of his or her competences and preferences.

The purpose of this essay is to describe the organization of the Swedish Animal WelfareAgency during the time it was in operation. The Swedish Animal Welfare Agency was established in 2005 by the government who saw it as necessary in order to strengthen the protection of cruelty to animals in Sweden. However, the agency was shut down already in2007 and its responsibilities as an agency was moved back to the government and the department of agriculture. During its time in operation, the Swedish Animal Welfare Agency, received much criticism, among other things because of its interpretations of the law which were seen as too focused on details and thus ?bureaucratic?.

Psykologi är ett ämnesområde som hittar nya tillämpningsområden, och under inledningen av 2000-talet har coaching blivit en trend. Uppsatsens syfte är att förstå hur teoretisk och empirisk bakgrund verkar in på hur professionella, heltidsarbetande coacher arbetar, samt hur psykologer kan hitta en vetenskaplig ingång i att arbeta med friska människors behov av växt och utveckling. Intervjuer utfördes med åtta coacher med varierande teoretisk bakgrund, samt psykologförbundets ordförande Lars Ahlin. Rapporten visar att coaching är ett mångfacetterat område, där utbildningar och branschstandard fortfarande är fragmenterat och svårt att få en överblick över. Coacher som inte är psykologer eller beteendevetare använder sig av sk erfarenhetsbaserat empiri med ett belief-based teoretisk ramverk.

The purpose of this essay is to further the understanding of contemporary management theory by conducting an analogy-study of the source to many of the terms today used in knowledge-intensive companies. The way a football club deals with knowledge work differs from how a conventional company deals with it. However, many of the terms, such as teamwork and coaching, are shared by the two types of organization. By using the analogy-method we hope to create a wider understanding for the shared concepts. We have used a hermeneutic perspective throughout the essay, which first and foremost means that we focus on understanding and explaining social phenomenons.

How do you do co-operation between government agencies? It is a wide spread view that there can be quite a few hitches in co-operation between agencies. In later years this idea has spread to the media where there has been negative coverage of the social service agencies. This generally applies to cases where children suffer because the right assistance takes too long to co-ordinate or does not get co-ordinated at all between schools, healthcare and social services. The social welfare law dictates that it is the social welfare office duty to co-ordinate the government agencies for the child?s best interest.

Coaching har sitt ursprung i idrotten men är idag vanligt inom näringslivet, och främst bland chefer. Det finns idag mängder av litteratur kring ämnet coaching men det saknas studier som är gjorda utifrån den coachades perspektiv. Denna kvalitativa studie utgår därifrån och bygger på semistrukturerade intervjuer med personer i ledande befattning från organisationen Sida. Samtliga deltagare hade genomgått individuell coaching där arbetsgivaren stod som finansiär. Syftet var att få en djupare förståelse för chefens upplevelser och tankar av coachingen.

Vi har funnit att den sociala identiteten har förändrats på Banverket Projektering i och med organisationsförändringen, och att coaching haft inverkan på detta. Vidare har framkommit att det förekommer gråzoner inom coachingverksamheten. Gråzonerna kan motverkas genom social identitetscoaching. Social identitetscoaching bygger på utvidgad och koncentrerad gemenskap, utbyte av åsikter och trygghet för de anställda..
