En studie om chefslösa organisationer
This Bachelor?s thesis is about bossless organizations. We have observed that the hierarchical structure that the majority of organizations is structured by today is a remnant of a time long gone, and can be an obstacle for independent thinking and responsibility inside organizations. We want to question the accepted perception that an organization is best structured in a hierarchic form.The purpose of the thesis is to provide an understanding of how a bossless organization works and to give a concrete explanation of the consequences of this kind of organizational structure.The thesis is of a qualitative nature and is designed with an inductive approach at an organizational level. We conducted a case study on a bossless company and supplemented this with secondary sources from three other bossless organizations.It concludes that the bossless approach can work and that there are a number of advantages to benefit from it. It is based on the intrinsic motivation of the employees and the willingness and ability to be a co-producer of corporate success. Another important conclusion we made is that the function of a boss never disappears, even though the position is removed. The study has shown that the bossless approach seems to be applied to the most types of businesses.
